Disclaimer: Not mine, but Tolkien wanted to build a mythology and I think that gives me the right to play in his sandbox. The inspirational quote is from Shakespeare's Henry V. However, I have seen the quote using both "into" and "unto," so if "unto" is your preferred version, I must beg artistic liberty. :)
A/N: As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated. Written for the weekly drabble challenge at tolkien_weekly - "Into"

"Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more…" - Henry V



Wearily, the two brothers sought one another on Pelennor Fields, making quick search each of the other's injuries. Hours they had spent after the battle, healing others and ignoring their own wounds.

"Estel will move to the Black Gates," Elladan murmured allowing Elrohir to apply ointment to a gash on his shoulder.

"Aye." Roh answered quietly.

"Are you ready, brother?" El asked his voice and gaze fierce.

Roh stilled, eyes burning. "Aye, a day long hoped for."

"Long awaited."

"Whatever the result…"

"It will be over."

Silently, they donned once more their armor and prepared to march into battle again.
