Hi everybody! Ok. . . well normally I would never NEVER write a fic so AU as this one. . . but I was forced to for english class, and just wanted to see what people thought of it here. . . I don't really like it, but that's just me cuz I'd rather stick to tolkein's storylines thank you very much. This is an alternate ending.

This is the synopsis.. ya know like they have at the beginning of two towers and rotk only it's mine. . . so you don have to read it if you don't want to I guess.

Disclaimer: everyone is tolkien's, though story plot is mine!
SYNOPSIS

This is the last book of THE LORD OF THE RINGS.

Previously, Frodo Baggins, small hobbit1 of the Shire, had destroyed the evil Ring of Power at last. He set out from the Elvish city of Rivendell with the nine companions of the Fellowship of the Ring, sworn to aid and protect him, the Ringbearer, in the perilous quest to destroy the Dark Lord Sauron's Ring. If the Ring should get back to Sauron, he would conquer and enslave all of Middle-earth. The Ring corrupted and tempted with the promise of power, but it could be used by Sauron alone, and would betray all others. The Ring could not be destroyed by flame or steel; it could only be destroyed by being cast into the fiery volcano of Mount Doom, in the heart of Mordor.

The wizard Gandalf the Grey was lost in their journey through the mines of Moria. Shortly after departing from Lothlórien, ruled by the great and terrible Elf-Queen Galadriel, the Fellowship split. Frodo went on to Mordor with his faithful gardener, Samwise Gamgee, while Aragorn, heir to the throne of Gondor, Legolas of the Elves, and Gimli the Dwarf traveled on, seeking Merry and Pippin, two more hobbits of the Shire. Boromir, son of the ruling Steward of Gondor, was dead. In the great Forest of Fangorn, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli met Gandalf, come back to them as the White, out of the mines of Moria. Gandalf assured them Merry and Pippin were in safe hands. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam met Gollum, a creature once a hobbit, who had hoarded the Ring of Power for years while it slowly corrupted him. Gollum became their guide to Mordor.

Arriving in Rohan, Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas freed Théoden the King of Rohan from the spell of Saruman the White, in league with the Dark Lord Sauron, who had taken control of his mind. Fearing his people would not survive an attack from Saruman, Théoden took them to the fortress of Helm's Deep, where a great battle was fought, and almost nearly lost to evil.

Frodo and Sam went on to Mordor. Merry and Pippin persuaded the Ents, great walking tree-like creatures, to fight in the War. The Ents destroyed Isengard, the stronghold of the wizard Saruman. Pippin went on to become a knight of Gondor under Denethor, the Steward of Gondor. Merry became Théoden's squire, and was in Gondor with Éowyn the White Lady of Rohan, nice of Théoden, when she did what no man could do: she slew the King of the Nazgûl. There were nine Nazgûl, or black riders, Ringwraiths, who were once great kings of men, but who had been corrupted by the temptation of power by Sauron. They were neither living nor dead, and the power of the Ring kept them in their tortured state.

When the Ring was destroyed, the evil Men, and orcs, hideous creatures bred to destroy and kill, and all the allies of the Dark Lord in Gondor, which had become a battlefield, fled back over the mountains into Mordor. Denethor, Steward of Gondor, died on the battlefield, and his
remaining son, Faramir, married Éowyn, nice of Theoden, who also met his death.. Éowyn's brother, Éomer son of Éomund, was crowned King of Rohan. The Fellowship of the Ring was again reunited in Gondor, save for Boromir, who had died in an orc attack. Aragorn took the crown of Gondor, becoming King Elessar. The hobbits returned to their Shire, to fight a war of their own, but that is altogether another story, and shall not be recounted here.

While Sam and Frodo made their way to Mordor, and the other members of the broken Fellowship fought in Gondor, the Elves fought a war on the borders of their lands. In Lothlórien, Celeborn assailed Dol Guldur, the dark tower of the allies of Mordor, and the Elf sorceress Galadriel destroyed it. The forest of Mirkwood, ruled by Thranduil, father of Legolas, was invaded by dark armies. Much damage was done to its trees, but the King of the Wood prevailed.

This is the last of the tale of The Lord of the Rings and The War of the Ring. It will tell of the love of Aragorn King Elessar of Men and of Arwen Undómiel Princess of the Elves, a legend for her beauty. We return first to Rivendell, the beautiful dwelling of the Elves.
Well I won't blackmail you to review this. . . on to chapter 1!
