mari4212And now for the last of the requested stories! This one was for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elvisvf101, who requested Eowyn's pov on why she chose to become a healer. This also marks the first and only time I will ever write Lord of the Rings fic.
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Title: Healer's Choice
Rating: G
It seems that far too much of my life until that point had been spent in mourning, for I did not wish to be what I was, and what I wished to be was far beyond me.
Strange, how the moment of blackest despair, lingering under the threat and shadow of the enemy’s victory became the moment hope was reborn in me, kindled by a man who had suffered as I had, but who still looked to morning and the East with faith and trust in Aragorn’s army.
The Lord Faramir never spoke against my worst fears, but his gentle words and steady presence stood as a challenge against those dark thoughts, for how could they endure against his strength of conviction? And slowly, without any visible sign, the despair which had haunted me all my life melted away like mist in a stiff breeze. What was left, when the last of those evil thoughts had departed, was compassion for others that I thought never to see in myself, and a determination to act on the hope that Faramir’s strength had given me.
And what is more hopeful an action than to become a healer and bring life from death?
