"A sword in the back of the traitor.
A hammer in the head of the arch-enemy.
A spear in the head of the lapdog." Dimitri recited. The List of Hated Foes was long indeed, composed by Dimitri in his first days in the gardens of Este. It was made to help Dimitri cope with death of Tulkas, but as Dimitri healed, in the flesh, the soul, and the mind, it evolved into something else. It became the history of Dimitri's adventure, from the tavern of Bree to the fight with his foe, Mineltar. But while he may have accepted that his lord was dead, and while his flesh was healed, there was still something in him that burned fiercer than the fires of Mount Doom. Vengeance was his sole goal in life now, and he would stop at nothing to achieve it.
But he needed weapons, armor, supplies. He needed to escape Valianor. And the Son of Tulkas provided the best way to do that. Through him, he became a stronger warrior and giant, and stronger in faith. Though the flesh of his lord was gone, his spirit still existed, guarding the gates of the Afterworld. He still watched over his sons and daughters, granting them his divine strength and unbreakable will. Yet every day that passed, the arch-enemy grew stronger. Haste was of the essence.
