Day 172: Last Days

scribblesinink gave me several Boromir prompts. This is for one of them....

Day 172

as part of the Another Country series.

Last Days

Boromir paced the halls restlessly. He was uncomfortable here, longing to depart, but must wait on others.

The tapestries he passed were crowded with images both familiar and strange: the history of his own people woven in with other tales. At first he oriented himself only by what he recognised easily. As time passed, he began to see how it was part of a greater story.

His host approached, another figure at his side.

"I bring one in need of comfort."

Boromir barely heard Námo's words as he looked into the hawkish gaze, now tinged with madness, of his father.
