Strength (Halbarad)
"Until his last breath"
His beloved leader – the king in waiting – asked him to look after the little folk in their own world, away from conflict. It was a peaceful existence for them, and all the rangers wanted to preserve their innocence as best they could. He'd watch them from his station, hidden from their eyes but still in plain sight as rangers were wont to do, as he lightly gripped the hilt of his sword or fiddled with the fletching on his arrows. His captain had asked him to look after the child-sized peoples and so he would do, until his last breath.
Exactly 100 words. Thanks to Aria Breuer for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Strength, Halbarad, "Until his last breath"). 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.
