Description After the battle on the Pelennor fields. Halbarad fell defendig the King's standard...

For the Teitho topic "In the Name of Love"

Pencil drawing with editing in Photoshop

The story of Halbarad:
Halbarad's Farewell The gathering gloom, the feel of doom
This is an evil door
Darkness ahead, the journey's end
Is not far anymore

The threshold dark from a cold stone,
And my death lies beyond
But I follow, for you must go,
And faith is a strong bond

For noble past I've ridden south
After the sun of noon,
But for the future I will go
Into the sunless gloom

Behind that door no turning back,
And yet I'll cross this line
Towards the burning, bloody field
And hope that is not mine

Be well, my love, kiss our son
For me and for my king
Into your arms I won't return,
But don't let your heart sink

Do not mourn for me, cousin mine,
When

Very touching illustration. Halbarad never let go of that standard--the epitomy of heroism, and unfailing duty.
