Pride (Isildur)
"Pride comes before a fall"
When his father fell he used the broken sword to fell their enemy. The Ring of power now in his grasp, he felt safe and secure. The half elf knew it was still corrupt and dangerous, but he refused to listen, claiming it as his own. In time he forgot that it had contained some of the Dark Lord's power, or maybe he just thought (arrogantly) that he had mastered it. This was proved incorrect when it betrayed him, leaving him open to the arrows of his pursuers and teaching him the hard way that pride comes before a fall.
Exactly 100 words. Thanks to DarylDixon'sgirl1985 for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Pride, Isildur, "Pride comes before a fall"). 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.
