Another "Lights out" inspired drabble (maybe a series can formulate...next Frodo) :P

[periantari]

 

Faramir wouldn’t have known what would happen if he had closed his eyes in weariness during these dreadful moments of trying to retake the Causeway Forts. Darkness was rampant, the enemy took advantage of obscuring the sky. Long had he had any hope left.

His men kept on the offense but only more Enemy troops infiltrated their ranks, killing at will. His hand to hand combat wavered, as he heard the Nazgul’s cry from above, filling him with cold dread, distracting him from his opponent.

Then, an arrow pierced him, he was falling from his horse and then darkness overcame.

...
Tolkien didn't have much detail of the actual retreat, did he? I wished he wrote more.
This is a great gapfiller that makes me happier that someone did write about it. :D
