Characters/Pairing: Beregond

Word count: 100
Summary- Why did Beregond leave his post and orders during the Siege of Gondor?
Prompt: Beacon
Disclaimer: They're not my characters but Tolkien's, but i wish they were.
He was a man we needed in whatever ends Gondor may perish in, ere the ultimate outcome, we needed Lord Faramir for the future.
So when I slew the porter, I was thinking of his larger life at stake pitying Faramir who had no knowledge of being burnt alive. I saw the madness in his father’s eyes building but my eyes were only set on my captain, Faramir.
The hafling was right- i had to save my Lord’s life. He was still the beacon of hope for Gondor no matter what ends we may suffer in.
Let him be spared.
