Chapter 1: A New Dark Lord
MorgothII: Greetings fellow readers, this is my first story I have published AND my first day on here. It would be very helpful to give me help, suggestions, etc. for later chapters. Thank you and enjoy.
In the heart of Mount Doom, as Sam watched as Frodo is about to put on the ring and claim it for his own, he thought he saw a blur of movement behind his master. Suddenly, a sword emerges out of Frodo's chest. "NOOO!" screamed Sam as Frodo crumpled lifelessly to the ground, the ring falling to the ground at the dead hobbit's feet. As Sam watched in horror, a figure appeared right behind were Frodo had just stood. It was a young man, cloaked in a dark cloak and hooded, wielding a curved sword of mithril in his right hand.
No Nazgul was he, for his face was human. On his right ring finger, there sat a ring of some weird blue stone. As he reached for the One ring, he emitted a horrible laugh. Not one of madness, but one of pure evil. It was heard all the way to the Black Gates and beyond, and all who heard it, even Sauron atop the tower of Barad-dur, shivered in fear. When his left hand was enclosed around the ring, he shouted in wicked triumph, "The ring is now... MINE!"
At that he slipped on the ring and braced himself for Sauron. As he did so, Sam watched as the blue ring of power start to glow and armor started to appear on the stranger's body. Then a new person entered. Tall he stood, wreathed in darkness and flame, wielding a mace. His body was clad in metal` armor, and the device on his spiked helm was the Red Eye. It was Sauron, coming to meet the challenger.
"That ring is mine, thou fool," The dark lord said, his voice deep and powerful. "Only one master does the ring serve at any time." At this the challenger removed his hood and on his young face was a grin.
"I know what that means. So I, Diluvium, challenge thee, 'Lord' Sauron, to single combat at the gates of this domain now, winner takes both rings," says he with his dark blue eyes flashing. Sauron had not foreseen this and so he hesitated for just a moment. "I accept thou's challenge," said he. As the two foes leave Diluvium strikes down the thing called Gollum, who was hiding. Sam watches this in mute terror. He feels that he must warn Gandalf. He felt compelled to do something. He must ...
Sam would never finish that thought, or any other thought, when the stranger sent him to be with his master.
MorgothII: Sorry if my chapters are a bit short. Hopefully the battles like a *cough* siege battle *cough* will be longer. This should be a fairly long story, though so as soon as you read it please let me now about it.
