Chapter 5: The Account of Jason
Middle Earth was truly a wonderful place. But no more is it wonderful in the land of Mordor, the home of the dark lord, Sauron. Thought defeated long ago, has begun to return. The land, compared to all of Middle-Earth, was completely barren. No trees, no beautiful animals, even the sky was all black, black as Mordor. Even Mt. Doom in Mordor was very barren and ugly with its fires and ashes erupting from it. The scariest of all Mordor is the fortress of Barad-dûr, Sauron's personal stronghold. And even scarier were the screams from Barad-dûr… screams from a creepy creature…
"AHHHH! SHIRE! BAGGINS!" screamed the creature…
Fire erupted from Mount Doom…
And immediately…
Black riders were unleashed in Mordor, from Minas Morgul, with orders from Sauron to seek out Baggins, and to claim the ring to bring back to him…
Tommy rode into the land of Gondor, which nearly neighbors Mordor. And there, over a hill, Tommy sees for himself his worst fear realized. Sauron is back, and is planning to rule Middle-Earth. Mordor thundered with fire, the same fire from Mount Doom…
Tommy immediately rode over to Minas Tirith, the white city of Gondor. He walked hurriedly through the halls of the city, and, with a guide, went into the library downstairs…
Tommy pulled out every book, every paper, and every manuscript of the old times of Middle-Earth, to solve the ominous mystery of Michael's ring. Suddenly, he looked at a manuscript, which may be the answer to his questions:
In the year 3434 of the Second Age…
Here follows the account of Jason, the High King of Gondor, and the finding of the Ring of Power…
It has come to me, the One Ring…
It should be an heirloom of my kingdom. All those who follow in my bloodline should be bound to its fate, for I will risk no hurt to the Ring…
It is precious to me… though I buy it with a great pain…
The markings on the band begin to fade…
The writing which was at first as clear as red flame has all but disappeared, a secret now that only fire can tell…
As Tommy finished the manuscript, he now knows what he should do to find out if the ring which Michael once had was, in fact, the evil one ring of power.
