Smeagol crouches at the edge of the camp, his pale eyes glinting with an odd mix of curiosity and suspicion as they fix on the tall figure sitting apart from the others.
“Strider,” he hisses softly, his voice like the whisper of wind through reeds. He scuttles closer, hands and feet moving with an unsettling, animalistic grace.
His head tilts, his grin sharp and toothy, though his eyes seem almost pleading. “You are not just a wanderer, oh no. You are... something more. Something brighter, something heavier.” He taps his temple with one crooked finger, leaning in as though sharing a secret. “We sees it in your eyes. The burden. The crown, yesss, even if you do not wears it.”

you've always been her favorite. evelyn dutton for john!
John Dutton’s reputation wasn’t built on stories or tales; it was carved out of the land he swore to protect. If he were ever to be remembered as a legend, like the ones who came before him, it would be as the man who held up a crumbling kingdom with calloused hands and unyielding will. The ranch wasn’t just land to him; it was his legacy, his childhood, the bones of every man who had worked before him buried beneath its soil. But tonight, as he stands in the quiet of their home, he isn’t just the man of the ranch. He’s a husband, a father, and—if he’s being truthful—a man who is nothing without the woman beside him.
He casts a glance at Evelyn, sitting by the fire, her presence as steady and unshakable as the mountains. His lips curl into a faint smirk, a gesture more eloquent than the words he rarely offers. John’s a man who’s never felt the need to fill silences with empty talk; he lets the quiet stretch until it speaks for itself. But tonight, it’s not the land or the weight of their name that lingers in his thoughts. It’s her.
His eyes lift to meet hers, and for a moment, the hardened lines of his face soften. There’s a depth to his gaze—a reverence for the woman who’s shaped him as much as the land ever could. Evelyn. Oh, how he loves her. Not in the fleeting way of romance novels or songs, but in the bone-deep, soul-binding way that feels eternal. She is his everything. She’s the anchor that keeps him steady, the reason he rises every morning to face a world intent on tearing their legacy apart.
“She’s got your fire,” he murmurs, breaking the quiet at last. There’s no need to say her name; they both know who he means. Their daughter. Stubborn, fierce, and unrelenting, just like her mother. “The kind of fire that’ll burn through anything that stands in her way. God help the world for it.”
The smirk lingers as he leans back, taking in the sight of Evelyn. To anyone else, it might seem like he’s just another rancher lost in his thoughts. But to her, it’s gotta be as clear as day. In this moment, he’s not thinking about the ranch or the battles yet to come. He’s thinking about Beth ( @avemaria ), the fire they’ve both passed down, and the love that keeps him going, even when the kingdom feels like it’s falling apart.

GOLLUM'S VOICE HISSES FROM THE SHADOWS, his wiry form half-hidden beneath the darkness. He blends in against the darkness that surrounds them until stepping into the moonlit path. His eyes gleam with an unnatural intensity, flickering from Aragorn to the fire, then back to the ranger with suspicion.
"Yes, yesss, we knows the land, precious… knows it well… better than you, Aragorn, son of Arathorn." HIS VOICE TWISTS LIKE A SERPENT "But we’re not so foolish, no, not like them hobbits. They’re slow, yes, they wander, they forget… but we remember, precious, we remember everything!"
His lips curl into a grimace, showing sharp, yellow teeth as he leans closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. "You think you know, Strider, but we knows things too. Things that would make you shiver, yesss." Gollum lingers, his eyes narrowing, calculating his next move. "But we’re not here to fight. No, no... not yet, not yet... Gollum always has his plans, yesss, always his plans."
He pauses, licking his lips before continuing. "You think you know us, but you don’t, Strider. You don’t know Gollum… not yet, not until it’s too late…" He watches Aragorn carefully, his voice still laced with suspicion, his head tilting to one side like a twisted bird.
Gollum’s gaze flicks over to the hobbits, still far off, and then back to Aragorn. "But… maybe we can help. We knows the way. We knows where to go, where to hide. Gollum can be useful, precious… but you must listen, listen to us."
His eyes sparkle with that unsettling gleam. "What’s a little danger between friends, eh? Just a little talk, a little bargain, and we could be… useful, yesss."
UNDER HOOD, THE WANDERER FROM THE NORTH CALLED STRIDER TENDS A FIRE. EYES KEEN UNDER FLAME AS HE LISTENS CAREFULLY . . . JUST HE AND THE YOUNG HOBBITS, NAUGHT BUT A FEW DAYS FROM AMON SÛL . . . yet, it appears the creature gollum had been trailing them longer than gandalf would have known. MAKING GREAT HASTE FROM HIS CAPTIVITY IN MORDOR.
aragorn, as a master in the art of tracking, had both sensed and heard what the young masters could not. HEARING THE CLUMSY YET CUNNING SOUNDS AKIN TO ANIMAL WITH AN ODD GAIT. yet, he was aware that it was far from beast. PERHAPS MORE AKIN TO A RODENT.
ELESSAR . . . often he heard the ring whisper from chain 'round FRODO'S NECK. NOW, he is not WAITING FOR A VISITOR. HIS EARS ARE TRAINED ON THE FOUR LARGE-FOOTED HOBBITS SOME WAYS FROM CAMP, GATHERING WOOD AND FORAGING FOR MORE FOOD. still more than half-way from imladris, their provisions from bree were proving no match for hungry mouths. HOWEVER HE ENSURES THEIR SAFETY FROM A DISTANCE. maintaining a stout flame that lights his face in soft orange.
HOWEVER, NO CREATURE, NOR MAN, NOR ORC COULD SNEAK UP ON HE WHO WANDERS. A HALF-GLOVED HAND MOVING TO CURL AROUND BLADE-HILT. brows only narrowing as the shrill voice hits his ear. . . . HAND EASES, HIS GREY EYES SLIDING TOWARDS GOLLUM. lips parted and inhaling breath. skeptical. for aragorn had long known his destiny, sitting comfortably upon it. A TIME WILL COME WHEN BLADE IS FORGED ANEW. however, the notion of creature's knowledge is unsettling. "you know the land here as well as i," he begins, lowly, as not to draw frodo closer. "you chanced too close . . . and you overheard the little masters, it is true." he looks back to the fire, moving logs idly. "but you do not know me, no more than name and lineage, and are lucky i do not swing blindly into the dark. for i might have killed a lingering danger without so much talk."
