It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last -- 30 Seconds To Mars

Everytime I try to forget about what has happened in the past and move beyond it, something happens that seems to make me relive it all over again. A certain scent, a sound... or when I see Eomer and Faramir watching me carefully as I do things. I can see the worry in their eyes and I know my brother cannot forget that time he spent sitting by my sickbed after my fight with the Witch King. Everytime someone mentions Pellenor Fields, both he and Faramir's faces pale a little.

There are times that I hear the sounds of swords and I relive that time so clearly -- whether I want to or not.

How do you forget about the past when what happened changed the face of an entire world?

023 - Do you believe in an Afterlife? What do you expect to find when you get there?


Yes, yes I do. I believe very strongly in this, as do most others of Rohan.

We are always riding into battles with the cries of our Ancestors on our lips and our desire to make them proud so we can meet them in the Afterlife with our heads held high and our eyes unashamed. The lives we lead in this life are how we will be judged and held up against in the halls of our ancestors.

What do I expect to find when I get there?

A hall of gold with the thrones of our kings. I expect to find the heroes of Rohan throughout history.

Most of all, I expect to find my family waiting for me.

My father, my mother, my uncle, my cousin...

What more could I want?

Tags: ,

My life really would be better if people would stop looking at me being a woman and the niece of the king as if it were some kind of handicap to my character. Just because I am a female it does not mean that I am less capable than anyone else of doing certain things. I can wield a sword and shield as well as any man and even Eomer would have to admit I can ride better than at least half of the Rohirrim.

You would think that my deeds at Pellenor Fields would have proved my worth when it came to that. I fought the Witch King and killed him. I almost died from it, but I destroyed him, stopping him from defiling my King.

Instead, Eomer and Aragorn and so many others treat me as if I am even more fragile than ever. Eomer is even more over-protective than before, and he has started passing that over-protectiveness onto Faramir.

I never told anyone that Theoden had named me his heir and wanted me to sit in his seat in the Golden Hall...

But someone did.

I would indeed like to find out who told them and introduce him to the flat of my blade.

Jun. 18th, 2007 @ 07:38 am [info]voicesinmyhead Prompt # 1: Who Am I?
Tags: ,

Who am I?

I am Eowyn of Rohan.

Niece of King Theoden. Sister of Eomer. Friend of Meriadoc Brandybuck. Ally of King Aragorn. Beloved of Faramir. Slayer of the Witch King.

To be honest, I didn't know he was the Witch King when Merry and I attacked him. All I was concerned about was keeping him and his beast from defiling the wounded body of my king.

I am Shieldmaiden and warrior; Chatelaine of the Golden Hall; and I am underestimated at every turn because supposedly women are the fairer, weaker sex.

Because I am a woman, the men of Rohan and elsewhere try to protect me and handle me carefully. I do not need to be handled with care. Just because I am female, most men seem to think that I am incapable of anything that does not resemble what they assume to be a woman's work.

They are wrong and I do not feel any hesitation about telling them so.

Being a woman does not make me any less willing or able to fight for those I love or to defend my homeland and our way of life. I am just as capable of doing great deeds of valour as any man is.

After all, it took a woman to kill the Witch King and his cursed Nazgul beast.

They said no man could kill him, but I am no man.

I am a shieldmaiden and a warrior of Rohan.
