The Shire is fair today. Fresh young faces laugh at their holiday play, taking turns being orcs and kings, elves and ents. So may it always be a game to them; so may they always remember to honour this day.

We three old hobbits who sit here by the fire bear scars upon our bodies no innocent should know. We are brothers, linked by ties closer than the bonds of blood: forged in fear and hope, smiles and tears.

They say grass grows now on the slopes of Mount Doom.

But the taste of ash still lingers on my tongue.
