Chapter one

In that single solitary second everything went wrong. He sensed that HIS ring, the one he had been searching for was at Mount Doom. It was then that his enemies intention was clear. They did not wish to supplant him with a new dark lord but to rid middle earth of him forever. With a shriek he sent his nazgul hurrying to the mountain but they were delayed by the accursed eagles.

He could sense every action. There were three, they were arguing and fighting. The finger that wore the ring was cut off. One of the beings held it aloft before another pushed them off the cliff. His shrieks grew louder as he could feel the ring falling closer and closer to the hot lava.

And then, nothing. Was this is? The Maiar were immortal therefore this could not truly be dead. But if not death then what was this? Similar thoughts dove in and out of the dark lord's mind and he passed worlds and time.

An eternity seemed to pass before something happened, or perhaps it was nearly a few seconds. Either way the dark lord Sauron opened his eyes. He saw a blue sky and the green tops of trees. While he did not despise the creations of the creator like his mentor Morgoth he did not love them and longed for the sweet relief of the cold dark.

He got up looking at the form he was currently in. While he could never again take a pleasing shape he could alter his form if he wished. He did so on many occasions including a confrontation with Olorin. His current form suited him however, a tall being draped in black armor with a helmet which blocked his face from view. Looking to his right he saw his mace. His true powers had always been in sorcery, however few were deadlier in open combat.

With weapon now in hand he decided to figure out where he was. He could not be east of Mordor. Everything beyond was desert and mountains. He could not be in the far west either. The appearance of such a powerful being would have caught the attention of dangerous people. He waved his right hand and found no beings close to him. There was , however a moving object not far.

Sauron moves through the underbrush before coming face to face with the creature. It reminded him of a werewolf yet was larger and different in appearance. It did not matter as the beast lunges at him. While he was very week he was still a Maiar and commanded vast power.

Sauron flicked out a hand, causing the creature to pause mid air. It squirmed and writhed as the dark lord drew nearer. Perhaps it could sense the danger drawing nearer. It squirmed as he reached out his hand to the creature's head and made it his own. The monster's eyes dulled and the mark of a burning red eye was forged onto its forehead. This would not be an easy night.

It had taken a few days but finally Sauron had forged his army. He had found five more of the wolf creatures. In addition he had also captures two bear monsters and a creature resembling an oliphant although much smaller. With his new mob in tow he marched toward the west. Mortals had always preferred the west.

Somewhere on menagerie

"And stay out you no good rat!" Shouted a rinno Faunus at the crumpled person slumped on the wall. Said person was Broaderick Dismas. A rat Faunus infamous for his bad and lewd habits. He knew he shouldn't have flirted with the owners daughter. Well he'd been through worse.

With that attitude he began to walk toward home, cutting through alleyways. It was in one that someone hit the back of his head and he blacked out. When he woke up he found he was missing all his valuable. Grunting with disgust and anger and having lost even the cigarettes in his pocket he spotted something.

There was something glittering by the dumpster. He reached out and grabbed it bringing whatever he found up to his eyes. There in the palm of his hand was a single solitary golden ring. It was very unremarkable and had no markings, not even scratches.

He didn't even know why he had picked it up. It was almost as if he was drawn to it. You know, it be a shame if he didn't at least try it on after finding. As he went to slip it on the ring actually appeared to shrink in order to fit his bones finger. And with that the ring slipped onto his hand.

What can I say. A RWBY Lord of the rings crossover. Let me know if you like it. Just wanted to try something new.
