Drabble for December 20th
After yesterday's foray into movieverse, I decided to do a bookverse drabble:
Title: Fathers and Sons
Characters: Imrahil, Faramir
Rating: PG
Warnings: None whatever.
It is not flesh and blood but the heart that makes us fathers and sons. - Johann Schiller
Denethor is fortunate. He did not see Faramir fighting desperately only to fall, did not have to save him from being trampled by the Enemy’s horses or from being slaughtered by the Enemy’s swords.
‘Twas I who drew the arrow, who had to stop the flow of blood from his wound. ‘Twas I who had to rush him into the City, before the faces of his countrymen.
Denethor only feels pain now, when he decides to care.
I have watched my beloved nephew suffer for years.
Faramir, you must live, so that I can erase these memories with your smile.
