Yet amidst the desolation and the exquisite agony of the Ring's burden, I find my mind returning back to Sam. My dear Sam.
My most beloved friend. This journey would be fraught without him. His courage—his selflessness; they exist in no small sum.
Words fail me now—my tongue sits heavy, scorned by fatigue and the malice that eats at me in this place. Mordor hungers for a sacrifice, preying on what was left of our merriment. I see how it eats at him—the weariness in his tired gaze. Yet each time we find our blades clashing with the steel of danger, the dullness awakens to a clarity so sharp I could hardly withstand its ferocity. Purpose.
Our rations have nearly dwindled to nothing, yet he never wavers. He starves so that I do not. He persists when I can hardly imagine it so. Nary a hesitation, nor a singular dissidence.
I pray Sam knows how precious he is to me. His mere presence soothes the ache in my heart—the drain of the Ring and its insistence to return to its master.
***
I cannot lie and swear I am a man unsoiled—the seduction of reprieve amidst this misery—corruption—calls to me. But when I look to him... I find the strength to take another step.
