Defender (Fredegar)
"For his country"
He was supposed to go with his fellow Hobbits, but stories of the forest they'd have to pass through changed his mind. No, he would stay behind and guard the passage they took from the Black Riders. True, he'd underestimated the fear they'd bring – but he didn't regret it for a moment. While fellow Hobbits were gallivanting off far from home on a dreaded adventure he stayed behind to make sure they had somewhere to return to. The Men tried to overrun his home and he fought back; his imprisonment meant little if he could do something for his country.
Exactly 100 words. Thanks to Aria Breuer for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Defender, Fredegar, "For his country"). No OCs 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.
