Samwise the Brave  by Holdur 2 Review(s)

Sam has always been a favorite of mine, but your short story made me love him all the more. His bravery - and his understanding of it, in the end - are just wonderful and so touching. How the spider was even bigger than his overactive imagination made it - nice touch.
"In that moment, Sam understood the heroes of the old stories, who did not fight because they were brave or tall, but because they had to and because they were not brave and not tall. He gathered his strength, set his stance and brandished both sword and light. The glass phial poured forth its brilliance, buffering him from the dark creature and lending him the courage he needed.
'Let him go, you filth!' "

Gives me chills now reading it again. Just wonderful.
