Hope (Aragorn)

"When all seemed lost"

After the failed negotiations with the dark lieutenant they were faced with an all-out battle against all the Black Land's forces. He didn't expect to survive and, looking around, he saw that it was a sentiment shared by all his companions. It didn't stop the young Hobbit throwing himself at a troll, or the graceful elf culling any foul beast that came near him while the stocky dwarf insisted on keeping up the kill tally they'd started what seemed like an age ago. But his name was Estel and that meant that he'd keep fighting, even when all seemed lost.

Exactly 100 words. Thanks to Hope'sFace for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Hope, Aragorn, "When all seemed lost"). 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.
