I'm so glad you posted this here. It's lovely, sad, and thoughtful. I know that some folks were distressed by PJ's inclusion of the Haldir Scene in TTT, but it does provide an interesting path of thought... what is it like for an immortal to experience death? Here, you seem to say that the transition for Haldir was not as bad as all that, but that those who were left behind -- Legolas and Aragorn, specifically -- found it heart-wrenching. I think that's a great take on the whole concept of elven death. Very nice vignette. Any hope that you will write others? Smile smiley face

I know it is your first foray into LOTR and you did an splendid work of it.
I was shocked about Haldir's apparition and death in the movie, but yes, you made it all more clear to me through your piece. Thank you.

Wonderful job of letting us see through Haldir's eyes, his last moments. A very sad, yet powerful scene. And did I read correctly? This is your first LoTR fic? Great job, do keep writing more in this genre! Smile smiley face

Thank you Kendra.
I don't think I can cope with yet another fandom to write in and as I don't read much LOTR fanfic to begin with, this will probably be a one time occasion only. I just felt (as it was the movie) to add a little vignette.
Thank you for your kind review.

Such a sad story, but a great one. I hated when Haldir died. I love how you captuered it in words. Excellent. Smile smiley face

Pretty good. I think it is too short, though. More details, maybe more thoughts as he was dying. Good imagery. The important thing to remember, this is fictional fiction. The Evles did not go to Hornsburg, and Haldir did not die! *falls off of soapbox*

This was amazing. I have always hated how PJ commanded the elves to die (my friends words, not mine) but you did a marvelous job at looking at it from the perspective on an elf. Well done.

It's been years since I read this, but it popped up as the random story of the day, so I read it again. You really have a light touch with these agonizing things, Una. I miss reading your stuff. Are you posting anything anywhere lately, or have you gone totally into original fiction? If so, may I read some of it?
