And that, my friends, is my story to this point. It is a sad tale, really. However, through hardships come resolve. The sands of change are covering my past life, and are showing me the way to a new one.
Whether that life is good or not remains to be seen. But there is hope where light shows the way.
I have lost much. The one who I loved most is now dead, her life only a memory. But I have gained as well. Brand marched beside me, in the armor of the Lôke-Gamp-Rim. Hadar was a short distance behind us with the other mercenaries. These were my friends now.
I look now upon the line of men snaking ahead on the dunes, purposefully making their way to Gondor with doom in their hearts. This is my path now. Whether by choice or design, I do not know. I suppose that depends on whether you believe in a divine being. I, myself, no longer know what I believe.
But I do know this: My story is far from over. In fact, it is just beginning.
