Chapter 1
After Helms Deep, the brothers of the first slain Uruk-Hai mourned for seven days, fasting and praying.
Aragorn heard of this and went to pay his respects. Upon seeing him, 2 Orcs sent to guard the area tried
to kill him. "Release him" came the voice of the head Uruk. Aragorn looked up to see a well-built Uruk-
Hai standing over him. "he had a wife and 2 kids at home, he was a pacifist, and you and your men killed
him and 9 of his brothers, I have come to repay the blood debt." Said the Uruk-Hai before he sliced off
Aragorn's right Breast. Clutching his torso, Aragorn could only watch in agony as the Uruk began to wail
on him. "He was a father, He had just gotten married, He loved children for fucks sake!"
"we didn't know" Aragorn replied Weakly. "Saruman had attacked Rohan, we needed to flee"
"that is…unfortunate, I… I have no words, I was in the Gap helping some locals with the order came
down, come, I can heal you" replied the Uruk.
Aragorn was restored to health and got the Uruk-Hai's name. his name was Nathan and he and his
family were pacifists, opposed to both Sauron and Saruman. "we want no part in the slaughter" said
Nathan to Aragorn, holding his 2-year-old daughter. "she was a refugee from a raid up north. I adopted
her, her name is Annabelle, her family was Murdered by a group of orcs. I fear they will be here tonight, please, you must save us"
Aragorn looked at the little blonde-haired girl. She was so innocent, blind to
the tragedies of War. Aragorn heard a rustling and ordered Nathan to hide his family.
Chapter 2
The of orcs had gathered, hunting for his daughter. "the orders are capture, not kill" said one.
The other complained that he was hungry so they each decided to cut off a piece. Aragorn ambushed them, cut them to ribbons and returned. "make for Gondor, I will see you safely to the borders and make sure you get safe passage. Wait for 1 year." They agreed and Aragorn escorted them to Osgiliath. Faramir agreed to shelter them for a month and give them safe passage to a nearby settlement that was non-prejudiced. They agreed and were given safe passage.
Sadly, it was not to be. Nathan as cut down by the Witch-King during a raid on the Settlement
Aragorn buried him in the Pelennor fields, sending a monthly pension to his family. He had also adopted Annabelle per the mother's wishes. The Witch king was held in Gondor's dungeons and tortured. Mordor fell a few years later, Aragorn having sent spies to disrupt the production of orcs and halt their facilities. Civil war broke out and the area quickly fell into ruin.
