Place: Ephel Duath, the Mountains of Shadow

Time: The Third Age (during the time of Bilbo's travels)

BOOM!

The ground shook, and the White City trembled. The Guards whispered amongst themselves, for they did not know what was coming. In the distance, a plume of ash and smoke arose from Ephel Duath, the Mountains of Shadow , but what the men of Gondor could not see was the figure in the pit. This figure was an ally of Evil and was a great shaper of flesh and bone, and was the Lord of Fowl creatures, mate to Ungoliant; The Great Spider and he was the Beast-keeper for Morgoth and Melkor. He fell during the battle of Nírnaeth Arnoediad, The Battle of Unnumbered Tears, and has awoken after countless decades of sleep. As the the man struggled to stand, he took in his surroundings, he could not remember who he was or how much pain he had done to this world. He was reborn!
