Men on the Mountain - 1

If it's okay with the mods, I will post each installment of this story as a new topic, so they won't get lost among comments. So, here's how it all begins:

Today was the day. Thendred checked the supplies on the packhorse one last time, then turned to his wife.

“I wish you didn’t have to go now,” Linell said unhappily.

“I know,” he replied, resting one hand on her swollen belly. “But your mother is with you and you’ll be safe here in Edoras.” He tried to sound reassuring. “Marhame and I will be back in two months and you can show me my son.”

“Or daughter,” she smiled at him bravely.

He caught her to him and kissed her soundly. Then he mounted his horse and slowly rode away.
If our kindness
This day is just pretending
If we pretend long enough
Never giving up
It just might be who we are
(Trans-Siberian Orchestra)
