[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

So it was decided. Suspicions of the contractor had been high since the initial murder of the philosopher. After the loss of the Seer and the brutal slaying of the Bard, the accusations had been red-hot. The village had decided: Son of Numenor must die.

Fools he muttered, as he was led to the platform. He had a damp, resigned look about him. He had expected to be killed for some hours now, but the actual deed - mere seconds away - seemed like a horrible anticlimax: a pathetic way to end his productive life.

Fools? Ha! We think not, you beast! yelled the villagers. They were utterly convinced they had bagged a wolf, and the sense of purpose and drive was almost tangible: it was as if the village had been lifted from the careful deliberations of the day, and the clear majority which they had reached.

Sono offered no more words. He let the hangman slip the noose around his neck. The lever was pulled, and he fell and his neck was broken.

Silence.....the villagers crowded round to get a closer look.

He's.....smiling! shouted one in disbelief.

And it was true. Son of Numenor had ended his life amid ruthless and brutal accusations: he was glad to be rid of this village which he had served so well, and which had rewarded him thus.

The villagers stood watching him for a long time. And then some began to cry....
