Disclaimer: I am not J.R.R. Tolkien, nor do I claim to be. Therefore I do not own the LOTR characters or the original story. I am just borrowing them for my enjoyment, as well as yours. I will return them unharmed.

Summary: Some people believe that when you make a choice, an alternate universe is created. This alternate universe plays out what would have happened if you had chosen another path. What it, in the Caradhras, the Fellowship had chosen the Gap of Rohan rather then Moria? Would everything have gone "according to plan?" A look at their alternate universe - and its consequences.

Warnings: Severely AU. Some coarse language (not a lot, but some.)

Notes: Update will come slow in this. I do not intend to update everyday, although I am shooting for once a week. Please bear with me. Although I would rather be praised, I understand that my writing can be rather controversial and perhaps, at time, rather bad. Constructive Criticism is welcomed, however flames are not. Flamers are asked to please leave contact information so that they may be contacted later.

Hello all! Well, it's official - I am a lazy bum who doesn't know a hole in the ground from a hole in a fence. I am forever complaining about people who don't provide translations in their stories and BAM! I look at my story and guess what? I don't have translations! So, my dear readers, here are my translations. I am sorry for any inconvenience that I have caused to you, as I know what it feels like when you can't understand what you are reading.

Chapter 1:

Cuiva nwalca Carnirasse; nai yarvaxea rasselya - Wake up cruel Redhorn! May your horn be bloodstained!

Losto Caradhras, sedho, hodo, nutiho i 'ruith - Sleep, Caradhras, be still, lie still, hold your wrath!

Cuiva nwalca Carnirasse; nai yarvaxea rasselya; taltuva notto-carinnar - Wake up cruel Redhorn! May your bloodstained horn fall upon enemy heads!

Chapter 3:

Uma, Estel. - Yes, Hope.*

Amin anta est. - I need to rest.

Lle anta est. - You need to rest.

*Estel is also known as Aragorn's Elvish name, given to him by Elrond when he was brought by his mother to Rivendell.
