Bravery (Éowyn)

"To fight for her people"

As she once said to that handsome, rugged ranger that was actually Isildur's heir, the only thing she feared was a cage. Pain and death were things she had become acquainted with quickly, shield maiden as she was. The penultimate battle for their freedom was one she knew that she could never miss, but her uncle had other ideas. She cared for the safe house, watching as the men passed (her men) – many never to return and others to win renown. But nothing would stop her as she donned the helmet and alias of Dernhelm to fight for her people.

Exactly 100 words. Thanks to DarylDixon'sgirl1985 for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Bravery, Éowyn, "To fight for her people"). 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.
