1. Middle Men
'Isildur's Bane'
Long thought lost but now, somehow, in the possession of two Hobbits. Only half a day ago it had been within his grasp.
Boromir, the accomplished warrior. He? Either a man of doughty virtue or an exceptional fool. Time judges all.
The turn of a moment could dash hope or restore fading glory. In his moment of truth, he had held to honor. He was satisfied.
Hobbits - half men, their resolve pushing them beyond their fear. Gondorians - sons of a once High race, now Middle Men. Fates intertwined.
'Time to show our quality.'
Faramir took up his bow.
