Another one from me! Yes, I do not own anything but the idea, and seemingly Frodo's bad attitude and madness. Everything else belongs to Tolkien. I hope you like it! Please r/r!

One Ring to Rule Them All

The dark lord sat upon his throne, his fingers playing with the gold ring that hung on a chain around his neck. His dark blue eyes held a mixture of emotions, guilt, sadness, anger, and a bit of madness. He was cloaked in black, except for his feet, which were hidden under his robes. His youthful face was blank of expression, for his eyes told all.

A figure was dragged into the chamber and thrown at his feet.

"I told you to be careful with him," the dark lord growled.

The orcs cringed and back away. The figure raised his head. He was slightly beaten and bruised but not truly harmed. His eyes widened as he took in the form of the dark lord. Disbelief and fear, then hope and happiness filled his eyes.

"Frodo?" he breathed.

"Yes, Sam, it is I," the dark lord said and stood.

He stepped down from the throne and reached to help Sam up. Sam gripped his offered hand and stood shakily.

"How? We thought you were dead when Gollum fell with you into the pit of fire," Sam said, still shocked.

"Gollum fell to his death. But I found a way to save myself. I defeated the dark lord. I am sorry I deceived you all, but it was necessary. But I brought you here for a reason," Frodo said.

"What?" Sam asked.

"I need you to help me bring Middle Earth to order," Frodo said, putting a hand upon Sam's shoulder and looking him in the eyes.

"What do you mean by order," Sam asked, fear starting to build inside him.

"I mean to bring Middle Earth and its people under my rule, to stop the chaos that is our world. Will you help me?" Frodo asked.
