“Go, Shadowfax, and make your farewells. I would speak with Éomer.” Gandalf gently pats my neck and dismisses me.

The wind sings in the long grass that gently brushes against my flanks as I gallop past. A pretty young filly catches my eye. Soon we are running together with the herd, the breeze blowing in our manes. The ground echoes to the sound of thundering hoof beats.

My master tells me that Valinor is fairer than any place I have yet seen, but how could it compare with the plains of the Riddermark? Could any other grass taste as sweet?

I've never wanted to write Shadowfax before, but this prompt made me think of him at once. I'm sure he did miss Rohan. i'll let you into a sequel, this is actually a prequel to a story I hope to write(I have it in rough draft so far)I'm delighted you enjoyed the drabble and what an appropriate icon!

Oh, I'm already looking forward to reading that story! :D I haven't used that icon for a while, but it seemed perfect for this drabble!
