Thoronmir continued to search for clues about the men they had fought last night. His initial search turned up nothing, but after searching through a pile of broken stones, the glint of metal caught his eye. He reached down and picked up what he had found.
"Over here! I think I've discovered something!" he called.
As he waited for the others, he examined what he found. The object was a small dagger, but not any ordinary one. The wickedly sharp blade was stained with blood. The hilt was crimson red and had silver skulls with burning red gems for eyes at either end. A black serpent was carved along the crimson hilt in between the skulls, which was the only thing Thoronmir could clearly recognize. He had seen the same black serpent on red being displayed by the Haradrim armies at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields -he again felt the loss of his friends in his mind- but he had never seen it accompanied by a skull before.
"What is it?" asked Falowik. "What did you find?"
