Ever wanted a sequel to Lord of the Rings?
This is my story, based on the idea of my friend Nayeli, who's random thought one day was: "What would happen if instead of throwing the Ring into the lava, Frodo tripped over a rock and fell in himself, and the Ring was left behind?"
And thus began...
"The Dark Lord Rises"
-----
PROLOGUE
Before Sam even knew it, his best friend had disappeared into the flames.
"Frodo?" He called down into the depths, the heat rising up against his face; he called even though he knew there would be no answer.
He wanted to cry - it had all happened so fast. The rock in Frodo's way... he was already slipping over his own feet in the rush to get rid of the Ring. Now the Ringbearer was gone... and the golden Ring was sitting there on the edge of the cliff, calling Samwise Gamgee.
So instead of crying, Sam picked it up, looked at it, and decided that even though his most beloved friend was dead, he must carry out the quest. They had gotten this far... they had reached their destination... now all he had to do was destroy the Ring and get it all over with...
No... he would not. This Ring was now his, and he could do what he wanted with it. He had to get away, get where Gollum could not find him. So Sam put it on. And he slowly became corrupted... slowly, but faster than it could ever get to Frodo...
Sauron saw his chance, and took it.

Author's Note: Yes, I know, it's short. Very short. But it's only an intro to intrigue you further! I'll get as many chapters up as I can in the next few weeks.
