The End Has Come

Foul beasts swarm about me and the evil of Mordor fills the air. We have failed. I have failed. Adar forgive me - first for departing without your leave, and now for dying.

Aragorn fights beside me, as always; but this time there will be no sudden respite. We knew that here we would meet our end, but it was to be in hope. Now Frodo has failed and our futile hope has been shattered. Sauron will regain the Ring, and his victory will be complete. The world will end in darkness. I will live only to see my friends fall.
