Protective (Haldir)

"To protect his family and people"

Failing at the last hurdle during the Last Alliance – failing to destroy the power source – would haunt him for years. To begin with, there was the relief that it was over and the peoples of Middle Earth were finally free of his tyranny, but then the Shadow fell over Greenwood, transforming it into Mirkwood as his fellow elves had to fight each day for their place in the forest they once ruled. Imladris and Lórien were better at defending themselves from the evil; a defence he threw himself into, and would eventually die for, to protect his family and 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. Protective, Haldir, "To protect his family and 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.
