Creators' Notes: This is the first chapter of a novel(la) I have been working on for some time, that focuses on the year following Aragorn’s return to the Dúnedain. I hope to have the beast completed before the summer, but in the meantime, this chapter stands well enough on its own, and fit nicely into the above prompt. Thanks to zopyrus and cairistiona7 for the beta!
