Oh, very powerful! I love the way you misdirect us into thinking we know which army the narrator fights with... only to have our perceptions turned on their heads at the end.

Beautifully descriptive language... and chilling!

Well done!

This is very powerful, vivid and action-packed. In so few words you have conveyed so much of the battle. Excellently chosen PoV and a splendid challenge entry. Thank you very much Smile smiley face

You peppered this piece with movement verbs, which lent to the whole battle rhythm feel. Nice! Also, some of these lines were breathtaking, esp. "Victory, glory, triumph was ours, beckoning like a doe-eyed girl" and the last line. Beautiful writing, Sil. And no hobbits, even! Smile smiley face

I just love your writing. Period. And this piece was so typically yours - packed full of eloquent emotions.

This was a really interesting idea, Sil, and I like the way you depicted hope and despair with equal conviction, just as your narrator must experience them. I miss your usual easy clarity, however, finding this writing a little fuzzy.
