The letter
Rating PG
These characters all belong to the estate of J.R.R. Tolkien. This story was written for pleasure and not for financial gain.

“You have a letter, sister.”

Éowyn tore open the seal. It was from Merry. “I have waited long to hear these tidings, Éomer. Wormtongue is dead at the hand of a Hobbit archer.”

“Praise Bema! You are avenged for all the sorrows that he caused you. Would that the snake had died at my hand, though!”

Éowyn regarded her brother thoughtfully. “Once, I would have danced for joy at the news. Now, I feel uncertain. Merry tells me that he slew Sauraman just before he fell.”

“He died better than he lived,” said Éomer. “I say good riddance to them both!”

Éowyn getting this news from Merry. What an inspired idea!

What a brilliant idea to have Merry tell Eowyn about Wormtongue. I tend to forget that these characters have a life after the book ends.

Thank you so much. Most of my stories take place after the book ends as they have a life in my head!

I really like this - both the way in which Éowyn seems to almost feel as if it is so far past that there is little importance, and that last line of Éomer's.

Thank you so much. I feel much like Eomer. In my universe Eowyn does sometimes have nightmares about Grima.
