Six Days of Spooky: Day 6

Since I'm still awake, and it is technically the 31st where I am, and I have a couple of things ready for today, here's a drabble. :D

The Rangers waited in the darkness for the prowling Orcs. Dying leaves blackened by night drooped on the trees, and rain splashed on them, cold and merciless, driven by wind and torn from the thick clouds by thunder. Faramir, so focused, determined, barely noticed the wet chill. He merely adjusted his hood so the rain did not run down his face.

But even he shivered a moment later: ahead and towering over them was a half-ruined statue, defaced with crude symbols of the Eye. In a sudden flash of lightning, that eye had seemed to move… to look at him.

Aiyeee! For cool, logical Faramir, that would have been creepy.

Enjoy your day!

Oh, that's NICE and creepy. You know, I'd never wondered before whether the Rangers had seen the statue, but it makes sense! (It's at the cross-roads, right?)

(It's at the cross-roads, right?)
Yeah, I think so... although I wouldn't be surprised if there are others. :p And the Rangers surely get around enough...

I'm happy to hear that you liked this! Thanks! ^_^

Yeah, I think it definitely would have been. ^_^

Thanks, and same to you!

Wow, it's cool. And I bet it made Faramir pretty angry a moment later, too!! Well done!

Ooooo. Things going bump in the night in Ithilien makes for very spooky situations indeed. Even Faramir's bound to be unsettled by something like that.

Yeah, who wouldn't be? And especially for someone so often at the front lines, so to speak.

Glad you liked!

Now you've got me wondering - what if Sauron really could see through those, and if that was exactly why the Eyes were placed there?

[identity profile] illwynd.livejournal.com 2007-11-16 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh wow... I hadn't thought of that, but that would definitely be interesting O_O You should file that idea away for next Halloween, I think!
