Temptation (Boromir)
"Loyalty killed him"
All he wanted was to keep his land safe. Inheritance made it his responsibility to find a way to drive back the evil once and for all, but they were always overrun, and their cities fell as quickly as they could reclaim them. Then he was shown such a small, seemingly insignificant, item held by a small, seemingly insignificant, Halfling and the world as he knew it changed. There was salvation, bound into gold and held on a chain. A salvation the others wanted to destroy – didn't they understand? But they did, as he learnt when his loyalty killed him.
Exactly 100 words. Prompts are very welcome (please use the formTheme, Character, "Prompt" i.e. Temptation, Boromir, "Loyalty killed him"). Any character is welcome, no matter how obscure (no OCs please).
Oh yeah, if anyone's interested I'm now accepting fic requests. More details are on my profile.
Thanks for reading!
