Normal POV

It is 1810 King Telumhtar of Gondor is preparing to destroy Umbar. All of the soldiers under his command are preparing for the raid. When all of the preparations are made the King leads his troops south to raid the city of the Corsairs. It is a few days before the Gondorian troops arrive at the city of Umbar. The King orders his soldiers to surround the city, and wait for his signal before they raid the city. The King issues the attack order, and the seige of Umbar begins. King Telumhtar orders General Raven to lead her troops in a direct attack on their hated foe the Corsairs those wretched sea-rats who bow to Sauron. The King did not believe the tales of the Generals ruthlessness on the battlefield, but as he watches her now he knows that those stories are indeed true. Watching General Raven in battle is positively terrifying. Just thinking about the training she went through to display that level of ruthlessness is spine-chilling. The King of Gondor is exceedingly grateful that is a member of his army. He knows the value of a prize soldier when he sees one. He can only hope that she stays in Gondor for as long as possible.

The Corsairs have a definite advantage, and they are using it to the best of their ability. Even still the Gondorian soldiers are fighting valiantly, and they are slowly gaining the upper hand over their foes. Unlike last time there is a great likelihood that they will overcome this enemy. The Corsairs attempt to flee the city so they can escape the slaughter, but that is not to be. Raven mercilessly kills every one of the fleeing pirate's. She wants nothing, but for the battle to end as quickly as possible so that they may begin to rebuild. Raven is very much aware that this is all a part of the art of war, however that doesn't mean that she has to like it. Her current ire only serves to increase her ferocity in battle. Raven knows that for victory to be achieved the enemy must be completely vanquished. She does not like staining her hands with the blood of men even though these men are evil servants of Sauron. None the less Raven does as is commanded of her, and continues to slay the Corsairs of Umbar. Like in the previous battles the only part of her to be covered in the blood of men is her hands. Her blood red hands can be seen across the battlefield by friend and foe alike.

The tide of battle is favoring the men of Gondor, and the Corsairs look on in horror as more and more of them fall. As time passes the Corsairs grow to hate Raven with greater intensity. When ever they look upon her dripping red hands their hatred would burn anew in their hearts. They would then fight all the more feircely to destroy their hated foe. The men of Gondor continue to fight with all the valour of the faithful, and refuse to stop the fight until they have claimed the city for their king. General Raven's keen stratigic mind hass been able to keep the number of Gondors fallen low. She has greatly impressed the King with her strategic brillance, her loyalty, and her prowess in battle. The now sees exacly why King Minardil gave her the commission that he did. She is one of the finest soldier that he has ever seen. The men of Gondor have made significant progress in defeating their foe, and taking the city.

The numbers of the the Corsairs is slowly dwindling, but it will will be quite a while before the men of Gondor are able to take the city. The King knows that his soldiers are going to be able to conquer the city. The King also knows that once Umbar is under their controll his people will be safe. The King leads his people very well in battle. Very soon the battle turn even more in their favor , and they look around seeing that the enemy is almost gone. Within hours there is not a single enemy soldier left standing. Once eveything is cleaned up the King stands before his soldiers, and renames himself Umbardacil. King Umbardacil looks over his soldiers, and asks them if they will continue to fight in the service of Gondor. All of them agree except Raven. King Umbardacil looks at her, and asks her what is wrong. Raven tells him that while she cares greatly for Gondor she misses her family dearly, and requests that she be taken off active duty so that she may return home. King Umbardacil tells her that it shall be done; That she may leave as soon as the wounded are cared for, and preparations are made for the journey. Raven helps with healing the wounded, and finds out that her hands are permanently stained blood red. Raven does not know why this has happened to her; So she resolves to ask her father about it when she gets home to Rivendell.
