elena_tiriel: a drabble about Imrahil rescuing Faramir outside the walls of Minas Tirith during the retreat from the Causeway Forts.
Day 270
as part of the Wild Swan series.
Upon the stricken field
In the press of battle, Imrahil glimpsed a familiar profile engaging a Southron rider, and rejoiced his nephew yet lived. But even as hope flamed, he saw Faramir stagger and fall.
Fear lent speed to his arm to end the contest with his current foe. Then, heedless of what else passed upon the field, he wheeled his horse and rallied his knights in a charge.
Others may die because I seek to save him. Is this for Gondor, which can ill afford to lose his captaincy? Or for mine own sake, who cannot bear to mourn another dear to me?
