Summary: A somewhat morbid tale of why Boromir agreed to go to Rivendell. What happens to the woman he loved.



“No!” I screamed as an orc arrow pierced through her back to her chest. Her sword dropped from her hand as her back arched sharply in pain. I ran to her as fast as I could, plowing through the enemy as if they were water on rock. Her eyes met mine for a moment just before she fell to her knees, her perfect lips mouthing my name.

I caught her by her arms before she fell forward into me; her hands limp at her sides. I knelt down and cradled her in my arms, clutching the collar of her tunic in my anguish. Blood dripped down her lip to her neck and I shook my head in denial as she looked up at me.

“Boromir, I’m sorry… I’m so sorry.” She pleaded with me weakly as her fluids spilled from her back onto my hands. I put my hand on her cheek and asked her in vain,

“Why Treä? Why, my love?” I asked her desperately as I looked into her dark brown depths, not wanting to believe that she wouldn’t make it.

“I told you I could fight, Boromir. I, I didn’t want you to leave me again.” She choked out in a throaty voice and I longed to hear her sweet song in my ears one last time. I shook my head and whispered to her and her alone,

“I love you, Treä… I love you so much it hurts me inside.” My heart was breaking as tears flew down either side of her face. I lowered my head down to her and kissed her mouth firmly, disregarding the vile blood I tasted on her lips. She kissed me back with the same fervency I kissed her with and I held her until I felt no more movement from her cold and beautiful lips. I released her and looked down at her pale face, her eyes closed and her body now limp. I bowed my head and held her close to my chest, putting my cheek on her forehead as I finally let a tear escape from my eye.

My father had notified me I was to travel to Rivendell in three day’s time but I said I would not go and leave Treä for so long a period. Now I had no reason not to do my father’s will. I would go to Imladris to lord Elrond’s council. I could only hope to meet my fate somehow along the way. There was nothing left for me in Gondor. She had left nothing for me.
