Endurance (Legolas)
"The darkness stays with you"
The other elven havens never ceased to amaze him when he visited. Neither of them were constantly fighting, guarded as they were by their Rings of Power. Perhaps that was why he was chosen to go on the Quest, as opposed to an elf from elsewhere, because he was already exposed to the darkness and knew how to resist it. The silky song of the Ring had no hold on him, because he was happy with his lot. It was all he'd ever known, and even if they succeeded it would still be there, because the darkness stays with you.
Exactly 100 words. Thanks to Evania Awristeta for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Endurance, Legolas, "The darkness stays with you"). 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.
