Summary: Faramir at the retreat.

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.
