Even in death

Even in death, elves had beauty

Elves had beauty, even in death.

His timeless face lay unmarred by the harshness of the world, smooth of any emotion that may have laid claim on him throughout his life and death. His light golden hair shone, clean of any foul substance that may have clung to him in his demise. His clothes, though freshly laundered, had small tears. His armour, newly polished, bore scratches and marks. His red cape hid the long, narrow slice in the back of his armour, where the killing blow had struck him.

Yes, even in death, elves had beauty.

oOoOoOoOo

Please let me know what you think, is it as depressing as I think it is? This is based on the movie version where Haldir, sadly, dies.
