The Daughter of the Witch-King

I do not see the world as you do. When you see light, I see darkness. When you see green trees, I see burning fields. I have been in the Black Captain's captivity ever since I was a child. I do not remember the sun, nor flowers. I am locked away in a room high up in an Angmar tower never to venture outside. Although, outside is as vague as inside.

The reticent footsteps outside my door caused me to hastily make my way towards the damaged chair in the room, nearly tripping on my skirts. The wooden door creaked slowly and in came my father. "Cirindol, my dear daughter."

"Father." I whispered with no amusement. "Have you brought my rations for today?"

"I did." The Witch-King passed me one piece of cold bread. I glared at the dark figure before plunging my face into the small bread. "Enjoy it. You will no longer have food for awhile."

"What do you mean?" I said.

"I am going into the East for some time." He faced the dark window. "I have left instructions to Vladmur, my servant, to watch over you. And I suspect he will not take you kindly as I." He dark face turned towards me. "I depart at dawn, dear heir."

Part of me chuckled, there is no dawn here. But the other part of me lamented, I would be left for the wolves. Despite the fact that my father was the Lord of the Nazgûl, he still took care of me. I guess there was still a slight goodness in him. "I take my leave." His figure quickly raced out the door like a ghost passing through. And I was left in my depressing tower once again. I decided to rest my head and allow dreams of freedom enter my soul.


I awoke to the whispers of voices in my tower. My eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light. The Witch-King stood over my body, and beside him, the young sorcerer Vladmur. Despite Vladmur's choice of dark clothing, he was fairly attractive for a cruel being.

"I depart now, daughter. I entrust Vladmur will take care of your health." My father left the room as swiftly as usual.

Vladmur sat down upon my bed then and whispered only to where I could hear. "I'm going to get you out of here."
