Journeying where water met the land, reeds rising high about him, the air filled with the cries of birds, [Character] had thought himself alone, only the small fishing boats out on the water evidence of civilization. So it was with no small surprise, then, that he came of a sudden upon a small hut, set by the water’s edge, with a boat pulled up next to it. And surprise turned quickly to astonishment as, sitting before the hut, staring moodily out across the waters, he saw there a man dressed in the uniform of Gondor’s guard, though stained and dirtied, and whose markings identified him as a captain. Yet even that was as to nothing, however, when, as the man turned to look at him with weary expression, long hair wild and untamed, beard ragged, [Character] recognized him as no other than Orodreth, Prince of Gondor, instrumental in the fall of Osgiliath.
