And here begins the story, or rather, which would be the reason why Lady Galadriel and Lord Glorfindel traveled to Earth.
As always, your reviews are very important and ... here we go!
Chapter 1: The Last Battle
Alatar was wounded by an attack by one of the Four Horsemen of the Enemy.
Who would you tell him! The descendants of his descendants had been just as powerful as an Ishtari. Maybe it was not too surprising, after all his descendants and the descendants of his companion and friend Ishtari, Morinehtar, were not only human, they were also half Maiar and apparently, being in that realm called Earth and the mixture that there was in their Maiar and human blood had resulted in the most unexpected powers and abilities.
"Come on, Alatar, get up! We cannot allow him to escape again! "Shouted his companion and friend Morinehatar.
Morinehtar was also an Ishtari, the second of the two Blue Wizards and had been his friend and companion during that long journey, from the time they left their native VĂ¡linor until that moment when they faced each other in a decisive battle against the Enemy and his Four Horsemen.
It was necessary to defeat him as soon as possible. The two Blue Wizards were no longer immortal, had changed their immortality in exchange for staying on Earth with the human women they loved and to see their offspring grow, that offspring that were so different and whom humans considered gods and angels, and as such worshiped them. So, time was running out, and though their offspring were powerful, some more than others, none of them had the power enough that even if it were no longer to defeat but to stop the Enemy and Servant of Morgoth.
Alatar rose with difficulty, leaning on his staff. He approached his old friend, ally and fellow adventurer, and both using his magic as Ishtari created a girdle to avoid being discovered for the time being.
"We cannot beat him," Panting told him as he winced. His side had a horrible and deep wound and, although it was not mortal, it was very painful.
"Yes, we can," Morinehtar said, "we will defeat him and his Four Horsemen"
Alatar turned sharply. It was the Blue Wizard who was most fond of his offspring, loved them extremely and seeing that two of the Four Horsemen of the Enemy were great-great-grandchildren of his children hurt him greatly.
"You do not think to kill them" he said in a tone of astonishment painful
"There is no other choice," Morinehtar replied, "do you think it does not hurt me to see two of my descendants being part of the Four Horsemen? But they made their decision, made the decision to embrace Darkness and Evil. They are no longer who they were before and the fact that they want to kill you clearly shows "He paused" they will have to die together with the Enemy and we "nodded harshly
Alatar sighed sadly. Morinehtar was right. His children's great-great-grandchildren were no longer the ones who had been before. He thought of what his former colleagues, Gandalf and Saruman, would have done. No doubt that the two of them had made a great sacrifice, especially Gandalf, for he had always been the most self-sacrificing of all. Radagast? Radagast was so immersed in his forest world that he did not count as a colleague.
Alatar nodded slowly.
"The best we can do is bury them so nobody finds them," Morinehtar said.
"Near here the terrain is easy to sink," Alatar said. "If we can get there and let the Four Horseman and the Enemy be on it, we can use both our staff and take them to the depths of the Earth where no one will ever find them"
Morinehtar nodded. Both Blue Wizards took a deep breath, and after a moment's glance they undid the guarding girdle and ran out into the valley where Alatar planned to bury the two alive and with them the Enemy and his Four Horsemen.
As soon as they had seen them, the Four Horsemen called the Enemy and attacked them.
The Enemy who was also the Servant of Morgoth, was already sick of those two Blue Wizards, they had been a pain in the ass for many centuries, and his patience had come to an end. As long as those two Blue Wizards were alive, he could never seize Earth, and his master, Morgoth, could not tolerate faults in their servants, especially if they were as close and powerful as Sauron, Gothmog or the Enemy himself.
So, he ordered his Four Horsemen to kill, but the two Blue Wizards had regained strength, especially the thought of giving their lives to defeat them all had taken away the fear of Death.
Seeing that his Four Horsemen could not manage to defeat them, he presented himself. His appearance was astonishing and many centuries later the different cultures would represent him differently, but all of them showing a part of Him.
His height was about ten feet; His armor that was impenetrable was of mithril, metal to which Earth would be called adamantium; His helmet had the resemblance of a horrible dragon with the horns of a goat; Claws like the claws of the eagle were his gauntlets; A macabre and cunning smile was drawn on his horrible lips; His eyes gleamed like burning coals; And everything was covered with incandescent fire, similar to the one covering Gothmog's body. As weapons, he had a great mace, a whip, a sword, and a spear that looked more like what in the Middle Ages demons would use as tridents.
On each side, two of the Four Horsemen stood ready to receive and obey their master's orders.
"Alatar and Morinehtar," he said in a voice that echoed like the roar of many waters and filled anyone braver, his soul of terror and horror "Alatar and Morinehtar" repeated "the two Ishtari who decided to stay on Earth to defend it from my power. Do not you know who I am? Do not you know that after Morgoth I am in power, greatness and authority? How, then, are two little Maiars who, in addition, have preferred the mortality and love of human bitches to have the children of harlots with them? "
Alatar and Morinehtar felt their blood burn with indignation in their veins.
"You will not conquer, O Servant of Morgoth, and if the price of your destruction is ours ... so be it!" Cried the two Blue Wizards
A bright, blinding glow illuminated hundreds of miles away and this strange phenomenon followed a terrible earthquake, terrifying the hearts of all those who witnessed it.
No one knew for sure what had happened, but the sages of ancient civilizations, many of whom were powerful in works that no one else could do, gave the explanation that a star had fallen and what could best be done no disturb the place... perhaps some terrible evil would ensue, for example, terrified looking lobsters that would wound humanity with scorpion torment and humanity would seek Death, but this one ... would flee from them.
Thus, it was that place, the 'Forbidden Place', would be untouched for thousands and thousands of years.
The chapter is small, it says nothing more than the fact that the two Blue Wizards, Alatar and Morinehtar, gave their lives to defeat the Enemy and Servant of Morgoth as well as their Four Horsemen.
By the way, the relation that is made of the 'Forbidden Place' and the fact that of that well if it were disturbed would come locusts of terrifying aspect and that would hurt with torment of scorpion and the whole thing ... is taken from the Apocalypse.
You see ... what they said among the X-Men ... that Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen are described in the ancient texts, about all the Semites.
