Horror in the Halls of Stone

The white wizard commends him; the King pardons him; his lord and captain whose life he saved embraces him. Yet even far from the City in the peace of Emyn Arnen, it will be long before Beregond's free of the bad dreams...

Blood, blood of his fellows spilt by his blade, pooling on Rath Dinen's hallowed steps. The crackle and roar of the flames, the wave of heat, the thunder as the House of the Stewards collapses behind them into dust and ashes. And always, at last, turning his stomach even over the acrid smoke... the smell of roasting flesh.
