This one took some thinking...



Boromir closed his eyes briefly and breathed through his nose while counting to ten to keep from bursting out angrily to stop yet another hobbit-inspired argument about food. Was that all those little people ever thought about – filling their bellies?

He'd agreed to go along with this futile venture only because it gave him companionship at least part of the way home. And it gave him time to consider whether it was in Gondor's best interests to let a sad-eyed Halfling remain in control of the long-lost weapon of the Enemy. Was it?

He knew what his father would say.

The Chariot

Hmmm, interesting to pick Boromir for this one. I presume that the Chariot refers to a "drive" or being "driven", as in a direction of sorts. Boromir is being driven by many things here on this journey, not the least of which is the One Ring inticing him to take it, and of course, that it's what his father would have wanted him to do.

Poor Boromir, driven by so many things until Frodo wore the Ring and ran away - leaving Boromir to finally find something else to be driven by, to protect the Hobbits, Merry and Pippin from the Uruk Hai. It was that final drive, I think, that saved Boromir from falling into the darkness forever. JMHO.

Looking forward to more! :)

Hugs,
