Forgiveness (Denethor)
"Blind man"
Power was an exhilarating feeling, he discovered when his father passed away and he took up the mantle. It consumed you and made you ignorant of those less fortunate than yourself, as he found to his cost when his teachings drove his eldest son to his death. His youngest son pleaded that he would go and in hindsight he realised that, if he had permitted him to instead, he would still have both his sons, instead of neither – one fallen in the quest to gain a Ring, the other to please his father. Power had made him a blind man.
Exactly 100 words. Thanks to Llaelas for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Forgiveness, Denethor, "Blind man"). 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.
