A wonderful story from the POV of Haldir, a character I have come to appreciate more as I watch TTT over and over. Perhaps you could write a story earlier in his life, when he is a bit more haughty and remote, as we see him in Fellowship? Bravo!

Wow!!!!!!

I love 1st person POV, and this was very well done! I really like the way you've taken those few looks exchanged, the expressions and reactions, and built upon it this internal life for these last hours of his life; truly what would an elf think and feel of all of this? Is it better to hold it far from your heart and mind, as many have done, or to sink into the feeling and the mud and experience it viscerally?
I am very impressed.

Great! Wonderful POV from one who views death not as an end, but as a step into another existance. A much better picture of the scene than the one PJ supplied us with. BTW, just a small footnote, THE ELVES WERE NOT THERE!!!!! *backs up appologetically and sighs* Sorry, I cannot help that. All being said, a wonderful write and an enjoyable read. Thank you for sharing.

Wow. I'll never look at that scene it TTT the same way again. That was very creative, unique and touching.

I haven't seen this story before, which is quite odd given how long I've been here, at OSA. Anyway, this is hell of a story! It transported me right onto the walls of Helm's Deep, which is as much terrifying as it is stunning. Very well done! Thanks Smile smiley face
