"Who are you?" he asked, his voice almost a hiss.
"I am Cariana. I am the one."
He bared razor sharp teeth in a snarl. "I am the One!"
"You are the One. I am the One. We are both sides of the same coin. Two, yet ultimately one in the end." She said, understanding sweeping over her.
She raised her hands to the sky where white swirled against black.
"Show." She said softly, but the earth shuddered and the swirls formed into a new pattern.
An image ran from horizon to horizon in a band around her. It was overlaid by letters in a strange script, but she could still see clearly enough.
She could see the room where she had watched Frodo sleep, what seemed like years ago, but was barely hours. She knew where she was.
Inside the Ring.
