Response to OSA Drabble Challenge #5: Tragic/Stupid/Crazy Guy.



The Legacy of King Eärnur of Gondor

I never could resist a good fight – would that I had ever found one! No man – nor wife – has ever bested me. I am fastest, I am strongest, my weapon always biggest – Hah!

Even Deathless Angmar fled before me. T’was only a traitorous mount took me from utmost triumph and he has paid.

Now over Anduin the Witch taunts me anew and, this time, I will answer. He is but a shred of rag, a noisome puff, a mockery of man beneath a betrayed crown.

They say no man can kill him – Now let them say the same of me!!
