Loyalty (Sam)

"To the very end"

Ever since he started spying (eavesdropping, the wizard said), he knew that he'd follow his master on the rather dangerous and scary sounding adventure. He said it was so he could go see the elves, but it ran far deeper than that. His father had been gardener before him; his family had always worked for them and that wasn't about to change just because of some fancy (evil) ring that had been brought back from an adventure (he didn't like adventures). No, someone had to go and make sure his master was looked after, properly, right to the very end.

Exactly 100 words. Thanks to DarylDixon'sgirl1985 for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Loyalty, Sam, "To the very end"). No OCs or anime-filler characters, please, but any other character, however obscure, is welcome.

Oh yeah, if anyone's interested I'm now accepting fic requests. More details are on my profile.
