Was the Phantom Eagle sitting on your bedpost during the night? In my drinking days he was my nemesis, because in the morning I could always tell when he had been roosting above my bed. Yuck!
LOL.

Hmm 42, this is strange. Here's what Aragorn has to say about your predicament:
Quote:
'It is not madness, lady,' he answered; for I go on a path appointed. But those who follow me do so of their own free will; and if they wish now to remain and ride with the Rohirrim, they may do so. But I shall take the Paths of the Dead, alone, if needs be.'
