I liked the way you intertwined the opposing ideas of death and survival and also thought the last two sentences were very good. Did you have any specific hero in mind? If so, I'm afraid I couldn't make out who - I'm afraid I'm no good at guessing games.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Ditto what Lia said. It's a fine example of a warrior's confession and I liked it very much. My guess: Glorfindel

I am not certain which one gave me more goosebumbs. The first one gives me the image of the valiant Glorfindel who protects the rearguard of Gondolin refugees and the second one gave me such a vivid picture of a rohirrim. When I read your author notes, I only saw that confirmed. I love this insight, the train of thoughts when you know you have to face death for a greater good. Excellent writing Inglor!

I agree with Rhapsody. I think the first is about Glorfindel.
They both are excellent somewhat chilling perspectives on dying well. Well done!
