The Challenge of the Good and the foolish alike

Dark Wings Dark words… He thought bitterly as he looked at the Rangers walk among the dead.
In another life, he would have chalked up the great despair to the dark lord, a simpler notion born of years of living under its shadow and fearing its wrath. But this was different, a primal and unbridaled force.
Not even the Dark Lord could muster such a foul power of necromancy and collective concise, the soul was gone...nothing of them remained.
He would continue his work in finding everything he can about this problem. This was going to be a long crisis, at least Faenor wasn't here to fuck it all up due to his pride.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You sat in the Godswood as you always do, cleaning Ice and clearing your head of the execution of the deserter of the watch.
News as of late has disterbed you greatly, with Aragorn's refusal to deal with the desertion of his kin, troubling news of an Ironborn civil war on the horizon and a terrible feeling that came up every time you looked to the east.
At times you envied the Long life enjoyed by the Dunedain, they had more time to come to terms with their regrets.
"Hmm...first the Dunedain act out of turn, now Robert's coming to visit. Why is my life getting so complicated." You said to the godswood.
It didn't answer, and you were left alone to your thoughts on to do next.

The Bow snapped in half as the arrow losened. "Fuck!! This Steel isn't hollow I thought they hollowed it out!!"
Denethor looked up from his paperwork, "They did...that's the twelfth bow you've destroyed."
You sighed "Add it to the scrap pile to reforge...we're getting close."
You had much work to do...and not enough time to do it.
