I fear I could only think of a memory of Halbarad hale..
Hail and FarwellI am glad to be granted this last fleeting moment with him.
He grasps my hand and manages to smile at me through his pain.
I remember our first meeting, he was yet hale, a man in his prime, when I was still a gangling youth.
Initial reserve soon turned to close friendship. He saved my life many times. Alas, I cannot save him now.
“Do not grieve,” he whispers. ”I foresaw this ending. I die content. You will triumph, Envinyatar!”
He sighs and breathes his last. Silently, he moves beyond the world.
Alas, Halbarad! Today’s victory was dearly bought.
