Author's notes: This story has long been in my computer, long before one of the first fanfics of mine, Niphredil and Light After the Storm. The delay? Well, because I have been wondering whether to post it or not. Anyway, this is my own POV on what I think on Haldir's past. What could be behind those dark eyes? Don't bother me with flames, K? I put in some of my own 'philosophy' in this fic. Please put some feedback! I especially appreciate constructive criticisms.

**********

Haldir had long hidden an agonizing past in his mask of indifference, but time came he knew he hath to let go of the one last reminder of it to keep his soul at peace and at a warrior's pace…

The world living before the uprising of the War of the Ring found Haldir as a novice among the wardens of Galadriel, Lady of Light. Anar-galad, his father, had just been elected as the new Marchwarden after the preceding one left for the Lands that Never Die. However, as the days went by, the young Haldir was faced with the foremost aftermath the very event can bring: the premeditated separation of Anar-galad from his mother, Arthendion. At the same time, a change brought by the dawning of his brothers Rúmil and Orophin and a change that was made happen by his being a warrior slowly came to light. It was then did Haldir almost break his heart in the arousing of his struggle to cope with the differences; to learn to face the truth called Reality to find himself as the independent, resilient Elf he was at present.
