A/N: This is my 1st fanficcie, so don't go hard on me!! Plus, I am not English girlie, me is Dutch girl (Holland rulez!!!!!) so forgive any misspellings or grammatical mistakes!!!!
Disclaimer: all not mine (wish they were), Nairu does belong to me, but I borrowed her name from Zelda Ocarina of Time, coz Zelda rulez! So, don't sue me, coz I don't have any money!
BTW: any ideas for the title, someone??? OK, here goes the story-without-title.
Rivendell was still a peaceful and beautiful place. The Elves, who were ruled by Elrond, still lived their peaceful lives and did the things they had to do. They lived their daily lives without too much sorrow and had no reason to worry about anything. But that would soon change, for their peace and rest were about to be disturbed, by a young woman who was about to cross the Loudwater river to enter the land of Rivendell….
The Orcs threw her down before the throne of Saruman, who was the second-in-command to the Dark Lord, though nobody knew it yet.
While she was struggling to get up, the Orcs spoke to Saruman in a language she could not understand, but it sounded …well, Orcs
(A/N: I'm sure you all know how that sounds like).Saruman had a little conversation with his servants before he send them away, only two remaining to guard her.
Then he turned his attention upon her. She knew why she had been brought to Saruman instead of being eaten by the Orcs. And, after they looked in each others eyes, she knew that he knew it as well. Quickly she looked away.
Though she knew there was no escape possible, she tried to get away from the two Orcs, who held her each by an arm.
Saruman seemed amused by this, in his eyes pitiful attempt to escape. He spoke, almost friendly:" My child, you surely do know that resistance is useless? You will never leave this place unless I want you to. And I do not want you out of here, not yet that is. Why don't you make it easy for myself and tell me where the Ring of Power is that Gandalf has found?"
She had to collect all her courage, before she looked up again, with determination in her eyes before she answered him: " I do not know anyone by the name of Gandalf."
Saruman's expression changed immediately into anger and evilness. "So you want to do it the hard and painful way, do you? Well, you can have it your way". After saying this, he slowly descended from his throne, and walked up to her.
He showed her a smile full of evil, before he began to speak the words of the spell, that would turn her into one of his many slaves.
She immediately started to feel the pain inside her head. It was growing stronger and stronger, until it exploded and her world became dark. The thing she heard the last, was Saruman's evil laughter.
It happened at least 2 months ago, but Nairu remembered it perfectly well. For every night, in her dreams, she saw the evil place, and remembered the evil laughter of Saruman, why he was casting his spell on her. That, and the mark on the inside of her left wrist, would not let her forget what happened nor let the memory about it fade.
Her face nor her bright green eyes showed her age, but it gave away her pain and exhaustion. She had been fighting the spell of Saruman ever since he had let her go away. The little magic that she had learned from her tutor, Gandalf, en her great will to fight evil, had stopped the spell to take over her spirit and control over her actions.
But it had drained her powers, and she feared she could not withstand the spell much longer.
Her despair had led her to Rivendell. Gandalf had told her about Elrond, the ruler of the Elves who lived there, and the powers that he mastered. He was the only hope she had. The only one who might be able to take the spell of her.
But Nairu feared to cross the river. She had heard that even the river had magical powers, and she feared that the river would not let her through, for she was marked with the sign of evil.
"Gandalf, please answer me. What must I do?" she sighed, knowing that he could not hear her. At the same time, she felt the spell growing stronger, and the mark on her left wrist became clearer and started to glow painfully.
Once again gaining all her courage and strength, she made her decision, and took her first step in the Loudwater river, praying that it would not drown her.
