The third arrow aimed exactly at the middle of the brows of the human who was still fighting with Orcs despite having the two arrows sank deep into his body already. He was protecting the Halflings frantically, making the great Uruk-hai leader much annoyed. What the master Saruman said? Lurtz thought dimly. Bring the Halflings back. So he would. Whoever whatever on his way, he would destroy them. Lurtz had to make sure this arrow would slash that man into his death definitely. But when he almost let the arrow go, the man's green eyes caught his. Somehow they made him shiver, melting something deep down in his huge chest. Suddenly he wanted know why. He was the mighty Uruk-hai warrior, shouldn't be shivered in any ways. Next moment, the arrow slaughtered an Orc in front of the man. The unreasonable action of their leader made the other Orcs upset and a racket started. Lurtz roared to silence them and ordered to take the Halflings who was beginning to resist. When the Orcs captured them and started to move away, Lurtz walked slowly toward the man who was still trying to fight the Halflings back desperately. The green eyes were strong and sparkling bright beautifully. Lurtz wanted to see them more closely and properly. But the human kept moving pointing the sword to him even his arms and legs were not steady anymore. Orcs' arrows had poisons on. It was easy to kill him and take the eyeballs out to look. However that surely would ruin them. So, irritated Lurtz shoved the sword with one powerful strike of his huge bow that broke the Great Horn into the halves and threw the owner down on the ground. Then he grabbed him by the chest. The man struggled well but his eyes were losing the light. "No!" Lurtz shouted at the mortal. Not die yet, until he found out what bothering him. The great Uruk-hai tightened his grasp. Finally Aragorn came to the site of the fight, but there was no sign of Merry, Pippin or Boromir. Only Orcs' bodies and the broken Horn were there. The gentle hand kept stroking his forehead. He was very ill, but felt wonderful having his beautiful mother beside him. The chicken pox hit older strong Boromir much harder than usually fragile baby Faramir. Father was worried sick to gather all the healers in the Middle-earth, but Mother's hand made him most comfortable. "Mother..." whenever Boromir was about to fell asleep, he called her to try keeping himself awake. It was rare those days Finduilas was well enough to be with her children, especially Boromir. He was the heir of the Steward of Gondor. Denethor always kept him close to educate him. It was very fortunate for him she could be there at such time. He didn't want to miss her presence, while he was allowed to be weak and spoilt because of the illness since he always had to behave decently among adults. "Shush, Boromir. Sleep, Love." The soft voice whispered. "I promise I will be here when you open your eyes again." "Yes, but Mother..." "Boromir, sleep..." Then she started to sing the most beautiful lullaby to make her son forget all the pain he had. And it did. "The pain..." He suddenly felt violently. She was no longer there anymore. "Water...." Boromir muttered. But almost no sound came out from his mouth. He was in agony. The whole body was screaming with the burning pain, especially the chest ached unbearably he couldn't breath let alone speak. However a response came reasonably quick. A rough edge of a wooden bowl pushed to his lips while someone holding the back of his neck to support. Boromir took a sip of lukewarm water with a great effort and groaned. Even drinking water gave him a sharp pain. At least the water made him gain some consciousness, although he struggled to open his heavy eyelids. "Mother." Still half dreaming, he called her as a young child expecting her to keep the promise. So Boromir was almost choked what he saw instead of the beautiful mother. The Orc. The most hideous face he had ever seen was staring at him. It was the one trying to kill him. A split second of unconsciousness must have given him the sentimental dream. Reality the nightmare seemed far from over. He gasped, screamed if he could, and tried to punch it. Even he didn't have any weapon, he was a warrior, the Captain-General of Gondor. He couldn't possibly just surrender without doing anything. But he was badly injured and poisoned. When the Orc slammed him on the ground to avoid his fist, the shock made him faint again. The next time Boromir gained his consciousness, it seemed easier than before but only slightly though. He was still in great pain, at least not in a panic state. Without moving even eyelids, he tried to check his body in his mind. He had a high fever caused by the poison of Orc's arrows and the terrible wounds on the chest by them as well that seemed pulled away somehow but not treated properly. They were not good news, however he seemed survived. How long had he slept? Hours? Days? More like felt weeks. Boromir slowly opened his eyes. It seemed he was lying on soft mosses in a cave. He could feel the warmth of a campfire and heard the sound of whittling nearby. Someone was there. He cautiously turned his head a bit and stunned. The other side of the fire, the huge Orc was sitting and making arrows from woods with a sharp knife. What's happened? Boromir thought hastily. Merry, Pippin! Where are they? And where were the other Orcs vanished? It seemed only the giant Orc and him there. But there were no point of panic. After all, he was the Captain-General of Gondor, he could force himself remain calm at any incidents if he was awake properly. He looked around with a great care not drawing its attention, to find out as much information as he could gather. There was a rough wooden bowl, which maybe it made, with water in it and some berries, nuts and a dead rabbit directly on the ground beside Boromir, as if the Orc tried to feed him. Apart from those, there weren't much. He lost the sword, shield, knife and Horn of Gondor, virtually everything except his life. Even that seemed hanging at the very edge. Why the Orc hadn't killed him was a great mystery. He heard Orcs captured humans and brought along on move as a food, but it didn't seem the reason since Boromir couldn't move. Maybe Saruman wanted to torture him to death as the enemy leader killing thousands Orcs. But while they seemed not to be in Mordor yet, he would have a chance to escape. Boromir didn't want to move, so the Orc wouldn't notice him awake. But he was thirsty. The fever dried him up completely. The water in the rough bowl seemed the best nectar in the world for him at that moment. Couldn't resist the thirst, he quietly stretched out his arm and reached the bowl. However his hand was trembling by the fever and he let the bowl turn upside down. It made a small but enough sound. The Orc was reacted immediately, stood up tall behind the fire. It was huge, gigantic looking up from the ground. In the dark, shone by the flickered fire light from at his foot, he looked almost like legendry Barlog. Boromir shook with a fear. He had never felt vulnerable like that before with no weapon and strength to spare. Only his pride forced him to glare back the fierce beast. The monster stared at him and then walked toward him with long strides, while Boromire struggled to move back. It was an enormous task for him even to crawl a little bit under his awful condition. Boromir was ready to die always, but not without a sacrifice. He frantically searched something suitable for a fight. Even a humble stone was better than nothing as a weapon. But the beast seemed to have another idea than fighting. It took the bowl and filled with water from his skin sack, then offered it to Boromir. Boromir was reluctant to take it, but the Orc insisted with grunts. After while he accepted it and doubtfully brought near the face, it smelled clean enough to drink. He took a sip. It was lukewarm but not mouldy or poisoned. Once he started, the demand of his body took over. He drank it all at once and wanted more. The Orc must have realised his eager look for the water sack, because it grinned showing the yellow fangs and throw the sack to Boromir. He gulped the water from the sack directly. His whole body was dried up by the fever and poison. He physically felt the water sank deep into the flesh and reviving it. When he finished drinking, Boromir collapsed to the ground panting. He was too busy to take water even forgot to breathe. But he didn't forget to keep an eye on the Orc. It was watching him almost anxiously. Before long the Orc sat down nearby and tore the rabbit in half, then throw one piece to Boromir. "Eat." The gravelly voice said. Boromir couldn't move so busy to pant. The monster must have thought he didn't understand. It started gobbling the other half as if showing to him how to eat. It was disgusting the Orc ate like beasts dripping blood and crunching bones with the fangs. Boromir felt sick than ever. But he had to eat, so that he would regain the strength. He looked at alternative options. The nuts he didn't have energy to crack but the berries. Boromir took some and beginning to nibble. The berries were sweet as usual even picked by the Orc. Among them, he found the one Finduilas liked. When Boromir put it in his mouth, a tear dropped on his cheek. After while Boromir fell asleep again, his body needed rests to recover even though he disliked the idea having the beast around at sleep. But by now he was sure the Orc was ordered to keep him. What else explained its behaviour? So he decided to rest, recover and seek a chance. The third time he opened his eyes, the Orc was not there. It must have gone for searching water or foods. Boromir didn't know how long he was asleep, or the Orc had been out. However it must have been his best chance to escape, since it could change its mind to kill him anytime. Boromir forced himself to stand, although he had to crawl to the cave wall and lean on it, and made painful steps for the freedom. Outside of the cave was full of the sunlight, the trees rustled with soft wind and birds were singing. It was too peaceful to believe the monster out there. But it was. So Boromir kept walking. He had to be as far away as possible from there. It was great struggle because of his condition. His legs were not steady, the chest hurt constantly and his sight was hazy. The things he could do easily usually like running through the woods, was impossible task now. He stopped at a tree, breathing heavily and dripping with sweat. The wounds started bleeding again. His legs and arms were heavy like iron and head was splitting. Everything around him seemed spinning. Boromir wanted just to curl up and cry like a little child, but he would never give in the weakness. He was born and brought up to be a proud man. When he clenched his teeth, the terrible roar from not so far away shook the air. The monster must have found out Boromir's absence already. How far had he come? Half mile? There was nowhere to hide and seemed no hope. He desperately looked around and grabbed a stick knowing it would be useless as a weapon. He leaned on it and moved as quickly as he could even though it was a snail pace. Just he was afraid if he stopped, he would never move again. Then he slipped and saw the raging torrent from a sheer cliff. The stick fell and so he would. But a strong hand caught him and pulled back just in time. However it was far from a relief. How much Boromir wished he had been embraced by the cold water rather than angry monster. The ugly face was an inch away from his. The yellow eyes were flashing with a rage and the sharp fangs almost bit him with a yell. It squeezed Boromir so hard, he was losing consciousness again. Please! He thought. Let me die as a worrier. Not like this... Boromir was ending up in the same cave once more. He didn't bother thinking how long he was in a coma this time. He already lost a track of time. There were just the beast and he, left form the rest of the world. He was worried about everyone and Gondor, however under the circumstances, first priority for him must have been getting better, then the chance to escape would come. He nibbled some berries. When he woke up, there was a mountain of berries beside him. After while he fed up with berries and ate the leftover nuts cracking with a small stone since he was gaining a little bit strength back, then a mountain of nuts was appeared. The Orc neither killed him nor took him to Mordor. Boromir didn't understand its intention and was getting curious as he getting better. Nowadays the monster tied him to a rock while it was out, but it didn't harm him. Just looked at him, sometimes even stroked him when he pretended to be asleep. Boromir decided to do something he never thought he would. Talked to the Orc. He killed thousands Orcs and captured some to study, but never had a conversation with them, well, pleasant ones anyway. But if he could make it feel more comfortable with him, surely the chance to escape would increase. "What's your name?" He asked over the fire one night. The Orc stared at him long time. When Boromir started wondering if it didn't understand the language or wanted to have no chat, it answered with a gravelly voice. "Lurtz." So the Orc had a name. Trying to show a respect, he introduced himself too. "I'm Boromir, the Captain-General of Gondor." He observed Lurtz with anxiety. However the ugly face didn't show any emotions. "Boromir..." Just it murmured. "Who ordered to keep me?" Boromir continued. "No one." The answer came when the question was almost forgotten. It seemed to need a lot of patience having a conversation with the Orc. "Then why are you keeping me?" Somehow his next question made Lurtz lost. It irritably slammed a piece of wood into the fire. "You ask too much!" Shouted Lurtz. There were sparks of fire and awkward silences. Boromir regretted to start a conversation. But after nearly an eternity, "Your eyes..." Lurtz said stiffly. "I like them twinkle." What? Boromir thought. It liked his eyes so kept him, like children keeping shiny beetles. He didn't know he should be angry or laugh. But at least he was alive because of that, so he decided to give a better smile to Lurtz. " Thank you." The Orc grinned back. It was a small step, but the beginning of some kinds of relationship with the monster. Boromir started to talk to it. "Morning, Lurtz." "Give me water, please." "Thank you for the berries." Using simple wards and a lot of patience, as if trying to talk to a young child or tame an animal, although it was more likely a big vicious wolf. Lurtz seemed enjoying the new stimulations. Sometimes it lost tempers though, when Boromir talked too much which it couldn't understand. Day by day, Boromir's condition was getting better. The fever was gone and the wounds were healed. Thanked for his amazing strength. If he had been an ordinary parson, he would be definitely dead by then without proper treatments. Although he was not in a best shape, he was ready for the next step. Now he just needed to get his strength back and wait a chance to escape. Yes, he needed much more strength. When Boromir was tired of berries and nuts, Lurtz brought back a fawn and tore it to eat by itself as usual. The Orc always ate disgustingly, but the tender meat looked mouth watering. " Could I have some?" Boromir asked. "You eat animal?" Lurtz replied curiously. "Of cause, I do. I am not an Elf. Give me the stick." He laughed and pointed the half made arrow. Lurtz hesitated a little bit, but gave him it with a piece of meat. Boromir stuck it on the stick and roast it on the fire. The meat he hadn't had long, tasted good even without spices. Boromir asked more, and then realised Lurtz's puzzled look. "Try it." He offered roasted meat to the Orc. Lurtz tried it and spat out with a grunt. "Hard." It gobbled the raw meat again. "Why you spoil it? Much softer like this." Boromir smiled. "I could cook better, if I had herbs out there." As a leader of an army, he had leaned survival skills. He could survive alone at forests, snow-mountains and deserts, in fact anywhere in the world quite sufficiently. The Heir of the Steward of Gondor and the favourite son of Denethor, he was not spoiled as some people believed. Of cause he was a proud man and firm when he had to insist on his belief, so sometimes surely difficult to deal with, but one thing he was not was spoiled. The truth was far from it. Denethor had made sure bringing him up very strictly, otherwise he couldn't possibly be the Captain-General of Gondor. Who would follow a spoilt leader? Then Lurtz said something unbelievable. "Go and get." "What?" Boromir opened his eyes wide. Would it let him go outside after all that? But Lurtz stood up already and held up the bow to him. "You run, I kill!" It declared and started to walk toward the entrance of the cave. He wouldn't run, anyway not yet. Beside the skilful archer was keeping sharp eyes on him form the right next, Boromir realised he was still weak. After the injury and long hold-up, even walking around woods leisurely made him tired easily. He hadn't got enough strength to run yet. But the fresh air he hadn't had long time, made him feel better a lot. After a while, they came across a clear stream. It was a warm spring day. Boromir wanted to bathe eagerly at once. He had tried to keep the wound clean, however he couldn't take care the rest under the circumstance. Suddenly he felt filthy. Even he was used to outdoor lives in army, he liked to keep himself decent as a human. But the state he was in by then was almost animal like. "I'm having a dip." He told Lurtz. "What for?" The yellow eyes' sharpened. "To be clean." Boromir took all the stuffs off and went into water. The water was cold but refreshing. "You should try it as well, Lurtz, since you smell foul..." He looked back laughing, and froze. The arrow Lurtz drawing was exactly pointed at him. Boromir couldn't move. Lurtz seemed too serious. Did he offend it? Or didn't it like he had a bathe without its permission? Was it his illusion some kid of relationship was forming between them? After all, it was a just Orc? Thousands of thoughts went through his mind until Lurtz let the arrow go. "!" Boromir gasped, expecting the shock. Surely that was it this time. But there was no pain for him. Instead the arrow went right next to his cheek, and he heard a horrible roar and heavy noise from behind. The great Uruk-hai warrior ran there with splashes. As he turned around chasing it with the eyes, Boromir saw a huge stray Warg was lying dead half in the water with the arrow sank deep into the middle of the forehead. How could he not have noticed it? Boromir shivered. If not Lurtz, the Warg would have killed him. Boromir realised he was not fit yet at all. Lurtz made sure the Warg was dead then shoved away, and came back to Boromir. "Mine," said the Orc putting the hand on his bare chest. That left a black smudge of Warg's blood on the fair skin of Boromir. Lurtz noticed its hands were dirty and started to wash them. But Orc's skin didn't look clean even how long it kept washing. Irritably splashed water with a grunt, Lurtz went back the bank and sat down to watch Boromir with the eager eyes. Boromir felt uncomfortable. He supposed to be no care being naked in front of the Orc and anyway was proud of the body with hundreds old wounds from battlefields. But the way Lurtz looked at, was as if.... He decided to stop thinking about it and quickly finished his bath. Adding meats on the diet made Boromir recover more quickly. Even no salt but only herbs on them, fresh meats tasted well. Lurtz preferred raw though. Now, he really just waited a chance to escape. But the beast knew that too. The Orc didn't seem let the favourite toy go so easily. There was no weapon for him, so the chance was very slim. And the Orc seemed to need far less sleep than human. Boromir tried to talk a sense into Lurtz, but it neither understood nor cared. After all, it was in the other side of the war anyway. The tension started mount. What am I doing here when my country is in a great danger? Boromir was getting irritated and angry. But the monster just wanted to keep him. However one day, Lurtz seemed in the very different mood. It howled and howled and howled at the just outside of the cave and ran into the woods, coming back like wind. The Orc was enjoying something special. "What's happened, Lurtz?" Boromir couldn't help to ask. "The big master is dead! I'm free now," answered Lurtz, sounding clearer than usual. The big master? Thought Boromir. "Saruman?" Lurtz said, "No. His spell over me was broken, when I saw your eyes first time. It's Sauron this time." "What!" Boromir was stunned. "Sauron...dead? How do you know?" "I can feel it. He had strong hold on Orcs. Now he doesn't." Lurtz replied rather joyfully. Boromir was curious from before how anyone could organise selfish Orcs for battles, but then understood Sauron had a strong black magic on them. Lurtz said that vanished. So he must have gone. You did it, Frodo. Boromir cried in his mind. He almost had destroyed the chance to save the world, but the little one did it. He was deeply moved. But hearing such things made Boromir want to go back to Gondor than ever. He wanted to know and see what happened to his county by himself. He was restless than ever. Of course Lurtz was reluctant to let him go. The only hope was its head was clearer than before since Sauron's gone. It seemed to start understanding his feeling. Then one night, Lurtz said its prisoner hesitatingly, "You have to go, Boromir, don't you?" " Yes," Boromir declared eagerly. "You must let me go." "But I can't," cried Lurtz. "I will lose mind." Somehow Boromir had to convince the Orc, so he told it. "I will be back, once I find out everything alright, I promise." He pointed the night sky. "Look at that beautiful full moon, Lurtz. It will change the shape and back again, you know, that the time all I need. Then I will be yours forever." Boromir knew it was a white lie. But he believed it himself at that time. If he could see what happened to his beloved Gondor now, he wouldn't care what's going to happen to him afterwards. Lurtz was thinking all night. And the next morning, it told Boromir. "You may go." "Lurtz!" Boromir almost embraced the Uruk-hai warrior with a joy. "But if you not come back at the next full moon, I shall find you and kill you. Kill a lot of humans on the way!" Lurtz drew the sword and hold it up high. "I will be yours." Boromir promised anything for freedom at that moment. "Here, take it." Lurtz offered the sword. "There are thousands of Orcs lost the hold of Sauron out there. They are dangerous." Boromir was astonished, however Lurtz was right. If he went out without weapons, he wouldn't reach Gondor. Boromir accepted the heavy sword with a little bit worry." But Lurtz, you are..." " I have this. Go! Before I change my mind." Lurtz hold the bow as if clinging on to it and turned away from Boromir. "Thank you, Lurtz." Boromir showed a last respect to the great Uruk-hai warrior's back, and started to run. Boromir ran. His mind was already in Gondor. The river Anduin and the stars would show his way to there... However Boromir didn't go to Gondor straightway. He knew he would be in a delicate position once a king retuned. He was almost certain Aragorn claimed back Gondor, since Frodo succeeded the mission. Although Boromir was a soldier, also trained to be a good politician for all his life under the one of best Stewards of Gondor. So he could see it. As the Steward and the heir, Denethor and Boromir had made sure they had a very strong hold on the court of Minas Tirith to rule the great country without a king. But that meant they would get in the way of the new king. Some people might use them against the new ruler. That was not his intention. Sure, Boromir was shocked by the identity of Aragorn at first, but soon realised he would be a great king while travelling with him. Otherwise he didn't ask to come to the city. Boromir had to find out exactly what's going on now. But he was too famous to sneak around the city. So he went the village nearby at night, and visited a small cottage on the outskirt. "M'Lord!" A retired servant of the white tower was literally crying eyes out when he saw Boromir. "I've never believed you are gone, Lord Boromir! Never!!" "It's alright, Old Jon." Boromir comforted the old man. He was old from Boromir's childhood and very old now. He was always fond of Boromir and so Boromir him. At his retire, Boromir rewarded him very generously and kept contacts with him. Not only sentimental reasons but also he needed as much as spies, informers and getaways. So anyone reliable and even slightest possibility to be useful, he had to keep. Old Jon was from the traditional servants family of the white tower and had a lot of relatives still there. He must have known what was happening inside. "I was badly injured, and couldn't move until now. Please tell me, Old Jon, what you know all," asked Boromir. And then he heard about the worst battle ever Minas Tirith faced to, his father's bitter death, the king and the Elf wife, and Faramir was now with Eowyn. Merry, Pippin, everyone... Boromir was deeply relieved hearing all the fellows survived. Although it was very regrettable he couldn't be there for Father and Gondor at the tragedy, but at least Faramir remained. "Thank you, Old Jon, for gathering the information for me." Boromir appreciated the faithful ex-servant. "I can not reward you like before anymore since I am a ordinary man now. But I will never forget your cooperation." "Won't you return the city, m'Lord?" Old Jon cried with a surprise. "I don't want any reward. You did enough for me. But the dream of this old man is you, my Lord rule the country. Lord Boromir, you know Gondor better than the new king who knows where come form!" "Watch your mouth!" Boromir warned. "Aragorn...King Elessar is a rightful king, and I respect him without any doubt." "M'Lord..." Old Jon started to sob again, so Boromir patted his shoulder. "I have no desire to challenge him because strongly believe he will bring the glory back to Gondor. I'm sure you and everyone in the country will share the view with me soon." "Then, what are you going to do from now on, Lord Boromir?" After while, Old Jon was calm down and asked the former master. "Well, I'm intended to be a ranger to keep eye on the country anonymously," smiled Boromir. " But you are the heir of the Steward!" He told the crying old man, "It's Faramir, the Steward of Gondor now. I don't want to get in their way, so please do not tell anyone I was here." "M'Lord, that's almost cruel for Lord Faramir. How he would be delighted if he knew you are alive!" Boromir shook the head. "No! It's for the best. Promise me, Old Jon, for my sake!" The eagerness of Boromir eventually made him nod with a sigh. "The secret is going to the grave with me near future." "Don't be silly. I want you to be my friend for long time yet," laughed Boromir. "Give me the gear I left with you." Boromir was a noble man with a long family history in politics. He prepared for the every kind of scenarios in well advance. There were several points like there around the Middle- earth he hid everything he needed for a getaway. "Are you going now?" The old man cried. "Please rest at least one night in my humble hut, Lord Boromir. Here, let me prepare hot water for you and trim your beard." He started to hustle Boromir like when they were used to be at the white tower. "I don't need to trim my beard anymore. Just cut it short's enough," Laughed Boromir. "But I will be thankful for hot water." Boromir cleaned himself with the ex-servant's help, and changed the well worn-out clothes to a simple dark travelling wear, then tied the rather getting long blond hair. When he put a black cloak on and take a sword and a knife, he looked a decent ranger already. "Oh, Lord Boromir!" wept the old man. "You are the man should be standing beside the king proudly with a golden emblem of Gondor on your chest." "Don't moan, Old Jon. Please be happy for my newly gained freedom," smiled Boromir. "I'm sure Aragorn...King Elessar will envy me in a couple of years, since the responsibility of ruling Gondor is not something you could take lightly." Old Jon insisted Boromir to rest, so he had a midnight feast and rest a bit, and left the cottage before the sunrise. "Please drop in again anytime, m'Lord. I will do anything for you. But don't make me wait too long, since I don't have much time left." "Thank you, Old Jon. I will show you my face soon. Take care yourself for me." The tearful old man was looking at the back of his Lord forever at his doorstep. Boromir went to the hill nearby Minas Tirith, and saw Tower of Ectherion shining in the rising sun. It was a beautiful sight he would never forget. Farewell, my country, my city, my home. He cried in his mind. I will be back someday, but not now, not yet. My return will be after long time. However at least he knew she was safe in King Elessar's hand. One regret was he couldn't tell Aragorn that he accepted him as a king. But Boromir was almost certain Aragorn knew his feeling after the passionate night at Lothlorien. You will be a great king ever, Aragorn, having the wise Elf queen. He cheered them from far away, thinking about his family's tragedy started when Denethor and Finduilas fell in love each other. Despite people believed Denethor took an advantage on young maiden, they were deeply in love. Finduilas respected the intelligence of her husband dearly, and Denethor cherished the innocence of the young wife. Boromir remembered the happy time his parents had. Father was ever so gentle, and Mother was brightly beautiful. They were so happy together. But the threat of Mordor started creeping into their life. Finduilas was not the first lady who fit at wartime, since she was so naive and weak. Being wise and seeing the dreams, Denethor knew the war was coming and he shouldn't have married her. But once in his life, he let himself follow the heart. He possibly couldn't have made beloved Finduilas cry marrying other lady for the political reasons. It was beginning of the tragedy. The threat getting serious, Finduilas was losing her health worrying about her beloved husband and sons' lives. And one day, she couldn't take anymore and left, leaving Denethor to desperation. Only Boromir knew how desperate Father was, otherwise Denethor didn't make mistakes with the elder son when he looked most like the mother at his early teens. One night, Boromir woke up in the dark and found Denethor was staring down at him with tears on his cheeks. Father was not himself. He grabbed the son and... No! It was forgiven. He just lost his mind at that moment because he loved Mother so much. Boromir shut out the bitter memories from his mind. Denethor blamed young Faramir for her death since she fell in ill after the birth and he couldn't love him. It was a most stupid thing the wise man did. But love could make anyone blind. Boromir thought Denethor actually hated himself because he couldn't save her. He was just looking himself in the young son since Faramir was more like the father inherited the appearance and ability of dreaming. Poor Faramir, he couldn't get the rightful love from parents as a child, turned to the brother who was the only one gave him an attention and desperately clung to him. After Denethor, the ordeal with Faramir was waited for Boromir. But he couldn't refuse the poor baby brother in anyways. The forbidden relationship continued until Boromir went to search Rivendell. But now... Boromir shut the eyes. Faramir had Eowyn to love and be loved. He finally found the right love he deserved so much. Eowyn was young, but a strong lady. They would be an ideal couple. Boromir was very happy for the young brother and didn't want to get in the way in any case. If Boromir turned up now, Faramir might hesitate to marry her since he was the one forced the elder brother into the wrong relationship. Faramir, do you know how glad I am you are alive and found a love? Boromir opened his eyes as if seeing and talking to the brother from a distance. It was wrong Denethor tried to take the son with him, even Boromir wanted to believe it was the fatherly love at the last moment. Boromir was sure Denethor decided to die, since he had more getaways than him. The wise Steward of Gondor must have known a king would return, his responsibility for Gondor was over and he had to be vanished to avoid getting in the way of the king. It was sad for Boromir losing Father like this way, but there was no ill feeling against anyone. Because Denethor was well tired waiting to join his wife and took the first opportunity to do so. Boromir should be happy they were resting in peace together. While Boromir was away, everything seemed to settle where should be. Arwen and Eowyn could support their husbands much better than Finduilas, not repeating the tragedy of Denethor. Now, it was his turn to be vanished. Even humble Old Jon thought he should be the ruler, how he could stay in Gondor without obstructing the new king. Boromir took a last good look of Minas Tirith, and turned away from her wiping the tears with his fist. Let start my first job as a ranger, He held the two hilts of the swords. One is his from Old Jon's place and the other was the Orc's. To kill the Orc. Boromir started a step toward the cave. He would give back the sword, challenge it and win to kill. Lurtz seemed to be tame enough to Boromir, but it was an Orc and unpredictable. It threatened him to kill humans already. Boromir felt it was his responsibility to deal with the beast. Lurtz, I will be back for you! Boromir told it in his mind. The cave Boromir was held as a prisoner looked empty. The fire was out and the air smelt damp and mouldy. Had the monster started a massacre already? Couldn't it wait his return? Boromir rushed to the inside. "Lurtz!" echoed his voice loudly. Getting used to the darkness, Boromir saw something moved at the very end of the cave. "Boromir, you came back..." It was a painful whisper. The ranger found the Orc was curling up there. "What's happened, Lurtz? Are you injured?" He couldn't help worrying it. The beast seemed so weak. "No, but I'm dying," Lurtz struggled pushing out the words beneath the heavy breathes. "Are you ill?" Boromir was wondering if Orcs ever had illnesses. "Maybe. I thought I would never see you again. Then the pain started mount inside here." Lurtz pointed the huge chest. "I couldn't eat or rest... I think I will die soon." The yellow eyes were filled with tears. "I told you I would be back, Lurtz." Boromir felt pity for it. He didn't want to end with the Orc like this. He wanted to give the Uruk-hai warrior a respectable death. But there was no choice. He drew the sword. "Here, Let me have the honour to give you a rest." "I know you came back to kill me." Lurtz grinned sadly. "And I am honoured by accepting it. But could you take one last wish I have, Boromir?" " Of course, Lurtz." Boromir was so moved by the brave warrior and prepared to do anything he could for the last wish. "Thank you." Lurtz cried. "Then, Boromir... Let me touch you, feel you, and fill you..." Boromir opened his eyes wide. He was not that innocent if he couldn't understand what the beast was talking about. Lurtz wanted Boromir. In fact, he had known the monster's desire for ages. Just he didn't want to admit it. It was so creepy to be a sexual object of the ugly Orc. Could he go through that even it was the last wish? "If I touch you once, only once, I can die without any regret and with a beautiful memory in my heart," But Lurtz continued to beg. How Boromir could refuse the dying beast's wish. He got too much respect for the Uruk-hai warrior. And he was the man to keep his words. Boromir took his clothes and stood naked in front of the Orc. "Very well, Lurtz. Take me." Lurtz crawled at his feet and looked up with the tearful eyes. " You are so beautiful, Boromir!" The beast held Boromir standing up on its knees. "I'm not that beautiful. You don't know Elves." Boromir told the Orc stroking the tangled dark hair gently. Protecting vulnerable was his nature. That was the reason he could have never refused young Faramir or Hobbits. "I killed several Elves." Well, Lurtz was not exactly vulnerable but he was ill at the moment. "They are cold, but you are warm." Lurtz rubbed the cheek on his stomach and sniffed. "You smell like sunshine." They lay on the soft bed of the moss. Lurtz was trying to be gentle, but its sharp fangs and claws were not made for making love, and keeping Boromir hurt unintentionally. Even its skin was too rough to rub against humans'. After making Boromir groan painfully for a while, Lurtz realised it and started to use just the tongue that was an only organ not to hurt him. The long thick slimy tongue wandered all over Boromir. It was not something he could enjoy. His body didn't react at all. Even it came to his manhood. But when Lurtz held his hip, split the legs wide and started to lick the tight opening, Boromir couldn't help writhing. It crept into the inside of him and wiggled like a snake. The tongue was so long to reach the sweet spot and touched there over and over again making Boromir groan with pleasure. "Lurtz, please!" His toes were fidgeting in the air. Boromir begged to finish the soft torture and wanted to be filled. "I'm huge..." Lurtz hesitated. "Come slowly." Boromir encouraged. At least, its member looked much smoother surface than the rest of its body. Lurtz started carefully pushing itself into Boromir. It was certainly huge, hard and rough like a rock. They had to stop several times to rest and give Boromir's body to adjust. When finally the whole was in Boromir, Lurtz cried. "I'm melting. You are so hot, Boromir!" "You are burning me from inside, Lurtz." Boromir cried back as he was filled more than completely. He was dripping with sweat, even couldn't breath properly. But when Lurtz started thrusting cautiously, soon Boromir was moaning uncontrollably. "Oh, Lurtz! Yes, yes!! More, harder... O, please!!!" Once his body accepted it, the pleasure was unbelievable. It came deep where nobody had ever reached and the hard rough surface rubbed the exact spot where made Boromir's back arch sharply. "Boromir, Boromir!" Lurtz called him at every stroke with tearful voice. Lurtz... Boromir was touched greatly by the beast. HE really loved him. The thrusts getting harder and faster, Boromir forgot how ugly creature the Orc was. Finally he could see the pure heart beneath the hideous appearance. Boromir was filled with love, the love for the world. If Orcs could learn to love, what a beautiful place the world was. Boromir would never forget the Orc who loved him. Lurtz were going to live in his soul as Boromir promised he would be his forever before, even he would have to kill him... When they were coming to climax together, Boromir embraced Lurtz and whispered, "I love you, Lurtz." It was more like friendship than actual love, but he wanted to give the beast best farewell. At that moment, the Orc's body began to glow. It glowed and glowed, brighter and brighter. Lurtz screamed painfully and writhed away from Boromir. "Lurtz!" Boromir tried to help, but now the bright light holding the beast was too strong he couldn't even keep the eyes open. "Lurtz, Lurtz!" called Boromir helplessly. At last the light started ease off, there was no agonized roar of the beast anymore. Boromir stared there with the fear the monster was dead. "Lurtz?" But when he called him timidly, something moved where the beast was supposed to be. Someone was crouching there. Boromir could see the fair back of his panting. "Lurtz?" The moment he called curiously, a last light of the sunset shone on him through the entrance of the cave and he stood up turning to Boromir. "Boromir!" cried the clear deep voice. Boromir opened his eyes round with astonishment. There stood an Elf, a beautiful male Elf. He was tall, firm, and very fair. The skin was white as snow and smooth as silk. The long raven black hair hung straight shining like satin. The handsome face was as if made by a most skilful sculptor. The violet eyes were bright, yet so gentle. Boromir hadn't known any Elves until recently, however he was a definitely most beautiful Elf he ever seen. He thought him fairer than snobbish Elrond. But where was his beast? "It's me, Boromir. Your Lurtz!" cried the Elf. "Lurtz? No..." Boromir murmured as if lost any emotion. His Lurtz was an ugly Orc not a beautiful Elf. "But I am! What's happened to me?" He was looking down his hands and body confusedly. If Orcs were made from Elves, would they turn back to Elves? Boromir thought. Is it a miracle of love? He didn't have answers. "You don't like me anymore, Boromir?" asked Lurtz almost crying, realising Boromir's puzzled look. Boromir was thinking for a while. He never fancied Elves. Well, he hadn't had exactly good relationship with them from the little experience he had, considering the encounters with Elrond, Legolas and Galadriel. And they were too perfect to be attractive for humble humans. They were almost just dolls like for Boromir as if having thousands years of lives made them lose any feeling or passions. And Boromir was a man no interest in dolls. But the Elf in front of him was different. He looked like a lost child. According to Lurtz, he was less than one year old anyway even he was an evil magical creature. However why he had to change into something beautiful now, Boromir finally got over the ugliness of the beast, and could see through the pure heart of him at last. He had a confidence to like him without the Elf look. "Boromir..." Lurtz started weeping, getting no reply from beloved Gondorian. "Come here." Having a protective nature, Boromir instantly gave up thinking, and stood up with a smile. "Look at you!" He patted the broad shoulders of the Elf with his hands. "Don't cry, Lurtz. You are beautiful. Who wouldn't like you?" And kissed him very first time. There were no fangs to get in their way. Lurtz didn't stink anymore. He smelt like fresh morning field and the mouth tasted like the spring fountain. "Boromir..." When the kiss was broken finally, Lurtz smiled dreamily. The face was so beautiful and bright, but Boromir knew he was his beast inside. Suddenly the appearance was not important anymore. Boromir was very glad anyway he didn't need kill him now, because he was an Elf not an Orc, well, at least outside. Just in case he needed to keep eye on him from now on. "Lurtz, would you help my new lifework as a ranger?" asked Boromir. "Yes! I'll be with you forever. You are mine now, you said so before." Lurtz held Boromir tight with his fine muscular arms. There were no claws to hurt anyone anymore. They smiled each other and kissed once more. Once upon a time, there was a blond ranger with a beautiful Elf, who helped people from evils. It was a long long time ago, when the legendary High King Elessar ruled Arnor and Gondor peacefully. The End. Well, it was a Boromir-Belle's story. What's next... ‡@ Sleeping 100 years? No problem. Beautiful blonde and dark eyebrows look alike, Legolas the Princess Aurora. ‡A Kicked out from the castle by the cold mother in law Elrond, dark wavy haired dainty Snow White-Aragorn wandered in woods and met some Little folks.
