Is this some foul new sorcery?

Or have I fallen already, and now find myself in the resting place of men's spirits?

	Purgatory, more like. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 12:04 am UTC (link)
	Nay, it appears more like a paradise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ill_fated 2013-03-07 12:15 am UTC (link)
	Then I pity you for having never known paradise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 12:30 am UTC (link)
	Nay, I have not. I do not think there is a paradise in my day; nowhere escapes the dark hand of Mordor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then welcome death and this purgatory. It's the only paradise some men will ever know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 12:33 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps paradise is not given to us as such, but must be found within. I have often wondered if that is the case, and if we do not attach too much import to physical things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ill_fated 2013-03-07 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps. I never held much to philosophy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 12:38 am UTC (link)
	Aye? And yet it is through wisdom that we come to understand the world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ill_fated 2013-03-07 12:40 am UTC (link)
	Let others understand. I simply wish to live. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 12:41 am UTC (link)
	And what is there to life without understanding? It is what separates men from beasts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ill_fated 2013-03-07 12:42 am UTC (link)
	That's a fitting description. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 12:47 am UTC (link)
	Forgive me my manners, I am Faramir, son of Denethor, of the House of Húrin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ill_fated 2013-03-07 12:49 am UTC (link)
	The House of Húrin. Such a family doesn't exist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 12:52 am UTC (link)
	Ah, but indeed it does. The Stewards of Gondor have always been chosen from that line, since the days of Húrin of Emyn Arnen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ill_fated 2013-03-07 12:55 am UTC (link)
	Emyn Arnen. ~~Then you are not of the cursed.~~ You are not who I thought.. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 12:57 am UTC (link)
	I am used to that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ill_fated 2013-03-07 12:58 am UTC (link)
	It's a good thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 01:00 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps, although it is likely that I am the last child born of my line. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ill_fated 2013-03-07 01:02 am UTC (link)
	They all end eventually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 01:02 am UTC (link)
	I only hope that with my line goes not the race of men. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ill_fated 2013-03-07 01:16 am UTC (link)
	You are not the father of men. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 01:19 am UTC (link)
	Oh, nay! Alas, I am the father of nothing. I fear only that the war that ends my line may end many others. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ill_fated 2013-03-07 01:21 am UTC (link)
	It isn't up to you to decide their fates. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_faramir 2013-03-07 01:28 am UTC (link)
	Oh, nay! Have I said otherwise? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ill_fated 2013-03-07 01:30 am UTC (link)
	Only that you wish it wouldn't end with yours. But you cannot help if it does. There's no use worrying over it, Faramir, son of Denethor. Lines end whether you will it or not. The shadow has sway whether you will it or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
