Nine Walkers

Gandalf is our Captain, Aragorn lieutenant and guide. Though all my training has been to lead, I have followed like the rest.
But there are followers and followers, and I remember the man who saved my first command from disaster. “A captain keeps his eye on the task,” he said, “and a sergeant keeps his eye on the men. Between them a Company has a chance, if the sergeant is willing to speak up and the Captain is willing to listen.”
We are not all Men, but I have been watching. It is time to speak.
Are you listening, Gandalf?
