Wedding Gifts (Fourth Age) (Faramir/Eowyn, Merry) |
Merry decides on a gift for Faramir's and Éowyn's wedding. |
Merry turned the horn in his hand, a gift from the White Lady. So small for a world so overgrown! Much of Rohan had felt too large, but not this horn. Éowyn had claimed it brought help at need, and it had. Now such need was naught but a memory. Hobbit-children might still die of disease but no longer by a ruffian's sword. War had fled the Mark and Ithilien too. Dernhelm was no more: Éowyn would marry Faramir. Peace was sweet. Buckland had many rams. One of their horns would make a fitting gift for this new age. |
