In the Chamber of Mazarbul survivors of the colony spent their last moments. After four dwarves returned from the West-gate both doors in the Chamber were closed and barricaded. Only a few dwarf had survived during these long days; not enough to defend both of the doors.

The history of the Balin's expedition was written down to a book, and so was its fate. Ori added the last pages. He wrote both well and quickly in large, bold hand using an Elvish script, and his beautiful handwriting was used to write down sad things. To the last page he wrote;

"We cannot get out. We cannot get out. They have taken the bridge and Second Hall. Frár and Lóni and Náli fell there bravely while the rest retreated to the Chamber of Mazarbul. Óin’s party went five days ago but today only four returned. The pool is up to the wall at West-gate. The Watcher in the Water took Óin ---

We cannot get out. The end comes soon. We hear drums, drums in the deep."

A moment before it was all over, he wrote a trailing scrawl of elf-letters;

"They are coming."

so beautiful and sad ;u;

~Tulikoura Dec 14, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Definitely a sad story, this Balin's one.

Todella upeaa viivatyöskentelyä, itse en ole koskaan oikein oppinut tekemään musteella ja lyijykynillä mitään, joten en voi kuin ihmetellä kuinka upeaa jälkeä olet saanut aikaiseksi. Ja mistä todella pidän tässä ovat nuo varjot jotka heijastuvat tuonne seinälle.

Kiitoksia kommentista! Tässä työssä harmittaa vain vinot riimut - sen siitä saa kun tekee työn osissa eikä seuraa miten äskettäin piirretty osio linkittyy uuteen. Tämän "sarjan" piirtämisessä oli muuten ihan hyvä draivi päällä ja Tolkienin tarinoista tämä on yksi hienoimpia, vaikka pienessä osassa onkin.

Voin todeta etteivät omiin silmiini nuo riimut niin vinoilta näytä, että ne yhtään häiritsisivät. Mutta eikös se niin olekin, että tekijä itse ei ole koskaan aivan tyytyväinen lopputulokseen.

Itsellä käy kanssa noita mokia, yleensä vaan niin päin että teen hirveällä kiireellä, enkä jaa miettimään miltä lopputulos tulee näyttämään.

They are Coming...Drums...Drums...Drums...

~Tulikoura Aug 23, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Probably one of the greatest moments in fantasy literature.

*julius1880 Aug 23, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Yes it is. I must go back this weekend and read it again.

They are coming

~Tulikoura Oct 23, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

The most haunting part of the Fellowship of the Ring. Still sends shivers running down my spine everytime I read it.
