The battlefield falls silent, save for the dying embers of torches. A Rohirrim warrior stands victorious, blade raised to finish off two writhing forms among the orc corpses. The wind howls, carrying the scent of blood and iron. But as the light catches their faces, the sword halts mid-swing. The figures are not monsters, but small, terrified hobbits. The warrior’s grip loosens, confusion warring with duty in his eyes as he stares at Pippin and Merry, alive and unarmored amidst the slaughter.
