may your shadow never grow less

forgive me. i was too blind to see it….i am so sorry, that i’ve led you into such peril. (x)

Thorin + smiling at Bilbo

But lo! Ecthelion, whose face was of the pallor of grey steel and whose shield-arm hung limp at his side, strode above him as he fell; and that Gnome drave at the demon, yet did not give him his death, getting rather a wound to his sword-arm that his weapon left his grasp. Then leapt Ecthelion lord of the Fountain, fairest of the Noldoli, full at Gothmog even as he raised his whip, and his helm that had a spike upon it he drave into that evil breast, and he twined his legs about his foeman’s thighs; and the Balrog yelled and fell forward; but those two dropped into the basin of the king’s fountain which was very deep. There found that creature his bane; and Ecthelion sank steel-laden into the depths, and so perished the lord of the Fountain after fiery battle in cool waters.

a quick reminder that thorin is holding both of bilbo’s hands in the first gif, and then continues to clutch onto bilbo’s sleeve until bilbo grabs his hand and tightly holds onto it until thorin dies

why does it hurt so much? because it was real. [part 2]   [part 3]

J.R.R. Tolkien writing Elvish, 1968.

He ceased, but at once Boromir stood up, tall and proud, before them. ‘Give me leave, Master Elrond,’ said he, ‘first to say more of Gondor; for verily from the land of Gondor I am come. And it would be well for all to know what passes there. For few, I deem, know of our deeds, and therefore guess little of their peril, if we should fail at last.
