Hail and Farewell

I was glad to be granted a last moment with one who was like a brother.


Despite his pain, he smiled, grasping my hand. I remembered our first meeting, he was yet hale, a man already in his prime, when I was but a gangling youth. Initial reserve soon turned to close friendship. He saved my life many times. Alas, I could not save his.

“Do not grieve,” he whispered. ”I foresaw this ending. I die content. You will triumph, Envinyatar!”

He sighed and breathes his last. Silently, he moved beyond this world.
Alas, Halbarad! The victory was dearly bought.
