I liked it, but it was too brief. *g* Granted the material called for brevity, but I'm a sucker for Haldir fics and always greedily want more. LOL
I've seen vignettes deal with what was going through Haldir's mind as he died, but not quite like this. *nodding* You did a pretty good job, I'd say. 
You might want to change "except" to accept there near the end too. I've gone over my stuff ten times before posting, yet I still miss a simple error like that every time. Gotta love a beta, they usually spot what we miss.  |

He can't die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that I am done with that.... a nice little drabble on what was going through Haldir's mind. In the movies, I find that to be such a powerful scene. Just the emotion in Craig Parker's eyes...
You captured it well.  |

WOwW! An amazing piece, a true gem. Elegantly written, you did an amazing job at capturing his feelings in a short paragraph.  |

Very nice piece. You caught the essence of the Elves' thoughts on dying very well. No pain, no regret for that, yet the feeling of waste, the lost lives for what he deems a lost cause. Oh course, dying before the end of the battle, he does not see it end well, nor does he grasp, I think, that the very presence of the varied races working together is what will forge the weapon that will defeat the enemy; cooperation. It was short, but managed to pack a lot of thought into the small space. I do not like movie based pieces on this very topic, since I am a big Haldir fan, but still, it conveyed much, and was worth the read. OBTW, HE DID NOT DIE! *looks around in embarassment* Sorry, could not resist.
Also caught the word error. 'except reality' should read 'accept reality'
Thank you. |

I think you did very well. You caught the character of Haldir the way I think of him.  |
