Morwen

The lugubrious mountains of Mordor steadily disappeared as the small company ventured to other lands. Silence pervaded the evening air as grass muted the passing of horses and men. The grass was fresh and moistened with dew. Emerald waves of it decorated the crags and crevices of the countryside.
Morwen opened her weary eyes and gazed upon the emerald oasis. She slowly undid the tight black gloves that had shielded her fair skin from the blazing sun. Rubing together her knotted hands, she glanced at the men and women in her train. A half smile lit her face. She turned then, and took something from within her dark cloak. She had kept it secretly, maybe even as a reminder she said to herself. Slowly, ever so slowly, she opened her white hand. There upon her palm rested a blade of grass.
"M'lady! Are we soon come to that place which you seek?"queried a lady of Rohan.
"No, we have far to travel, Emeldir. We must completely free ourselves from the worries of the West". She glanced at the green thing in her hand. "I can still feel its grasp", she whispered.
Dark clouds mounted on the horizon and she replaced her emerald reminder. She sighed and forced her aching fingers back into their black prison.
"Soon, very soon I shall see my heart's desire. So very soon".
