Summary : Written for tolkien100 challenge Death Wish

“Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world’s ending!”

Needing no more urging, Firefoot sprang forward, trampling the servants of the enemy under hooves coated red with blood.

Éomer’s sword rose and fell, cleaving helm and head, hewing limbs from bodies as the Rohirrim scattered all before them, terrible in their battle lust, uncaring if they lived or died, determined to sweep the enemy from the plain.

But the horses shied away from the giant mumakil and a new force was issuing from Osgiliath.

“Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!”

And Éomer did not fear death.

Eomer along with Faramir are my favorite characters. This brought back so many feels.

Eomer (and Faramir) were always my favourites. love this.

I'm very fond of these two, too!

I think it's the 'honourable man' thing. There are so many honourable men in LOTR but these two just had something extra about them.

[fredbassett]

Yes, I know exactly what you mean!
