Incredible India monthly contest of May #2|Your all-time favourite fantasy character!
Such an interesting contest organize by @meraindia. This contest takes me back my memory lane. Lord Of The Rings was a big deal for me then, Frodo Baggins was my ideal guy.
| 1 Who is your all-time favourite fantasy character? Rationale. |
|---|
Like I said, my all-time favourite fantasy character is Frodo Baggins from a movie I tagged my childhood favorite called The Lord of the Rings* and briefly about Frodo: Not strong or magical like other characters but he has a brave heart and I mean, brave enough to carry the powerful and dangerous ring, knowing it could destroy him but he chooses to take on this difficult task to save the world from evil. I bet, you will admire anyone with such courage... so, basically admire his courage, his loyalty to friends and how he keeps going even when he’s tired, scared or tempted. The difference he created has been, Frodo shows that even the smallest person can make a big difference by been brave.
| 2 Do you ever think if you get those powers, how would you utilise them? |
|---|
Surprisingly! of recent, I was pondering if I ever have power; I will change the world for good. And yes, I do think about that sometimes. So, If I should have powers like Frodo’s ability to carry such a powerful item and resist its evil, I would use them to help people who are suffering and not just that, I would try to bring peace to places filled with hate or war and protect those who are weak or voiceless. I wouldn't want fame or control, just the chance to make the world fairer and safer. Not to forget, just like Frodo, I’d also want trustworthy friends by my side, because power can be dangerous if you face it alone.
| 3 Do you believe power brings responsibility, even if it's about a fantasy character? The almighty only select a few for this? |
|---|
Yeah, yeah, I truly believe power brings responsibility, whether it’s real life or a fantasy story because literally, everything comes with purpose and to fulfill that purpose, is a responsibilty.
In fantasy, power is often magical or special but it still affects others in such a way that If someone uses magic to defeat an enemy, it can save others and If a magical object falls into the wrong hands, it can bring danger or destruction to the world.
So, if someone has power and doesn’t use it wisely, it can cause great harm and that’s why I think only a few are chosen. Like Frodo, Gandalf or even Harry Potter because they have kind hearts and are willing to carry the burden for others and I believe the Almighty, whether in real life or in a story, gives power to those who can stay humble and do good with it.

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
Wow... your words touched me. It's rare to hear someone speak about power with so much heart and sincerity. I felt the honesty in every line, wanting to help, to bring peace, to protect those who can’t protect themselves… it’s beautiful.
And that part about not wanting fame or control? That says so much about the kind of person you are. It reminded me that real strength isn’t just about what you can do, but why you choose to do it.
Also, I completely agree, we all need good, loyal friends beside us. Facing something powerful alone can be heavy. Thank you for sharing this. It made me pause and reflect
