Regret (Elrond)
"He could have ended it sooner"
He watched his adoptive son grow up, the man destined for greatness hiding amongst the elves due to the actions of his forebear. But it wouldn't be fair just to blame the human, for the elves themselves were far from innocent, himself perhaps the least so as he failed to convince the young king to resist the pull of power the ring promised in return for surviving and sparing it. Soon young hope wasn't the only one pulled into the world of darkness, the innocent periannath following suit, cursing him with the knowledge that he could have ended it sooner.
Exactly 100 words. Thanks to DarylDixon'sgirl1985 for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Regret, Elrond, "He could have ended it sooner"). 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.
