Bragolhirwen rushed forward as part of the first wave of attackers, randomly swinging her blade at an already confused Shelob in order to keep the advancing creature away from her. With every blow of the heavy broadsword she felt her energy weaken, fading away into nothingness with every slowly-passing second. With a last battle cry and throwing all her weight into the blow, she managed to hit Shelob's side. The enraged spider flew at her, on a collision course with the Gondorian.

The spider's blow flung the half-Elf to the ground like she was a child's unwanted toy. She heard a sickening crunch that seemed to echo through the monstrous caverns for the rest of time as she hit the floor. Her head span with the shock of impact, and she could not feel her legs. In the distance she heard people yelling, shouting her true name. There was the sound of running feet as Elentari came towards her, trying to save her.

"No..." she whispered, in a voice that was barely audible. "Go. Save...yourself. It's...right...I...shouldn't be...alive...I cheated...my...death...before." She paused, feeling all her energy drain away, and then spoke, her words seeming to disappear before they came forth from her mouth. "I'm...not going...to let...fate...fail...again..." She saw the spider looming over her, and then as she fell into an eternal darkness she could feel some kind of great power growing about her. Her final though before she slipped into true unconsciousness was of the knowledge that her short yet turbulent life seemed to be finally over.
