The two riders reached the summit of the hill pausing to allow their horses to rest.
Beneath them, the countryside lay spread out in a patchwork of green and white, fresh leaves and spring blossoms basking in the gentle warmth of the spring sunshine. In a nearby tree, a blackbird and a thrush sang sweetly.
Aragorn felt his heart soar at the sheer loveliness around him. His usually grim features relaxed into a smile.

“What pleases you so?” Halbarad enquired.

“April’s beauty,” Aragorn replied. ”Each springtime, nature’s joyful reawakening rekindles my hopes that we will one day defeat the darkness.”

*happy sigh* This was especially nice, considering that we're in April right now, and I noticed, driving to work today, that the trees are starting to bud and bloom. I understand exactly how Aragorn feels here. Spring brings with it such hope of renewal. Beautiful work, Linda! :)
