He stood hovering above his prey, now lying soaked in its own lifeblood. Today's hunt was over, He decided. It had been productive, to say the least, but tomorrow's chase promised to be even more exhilarating. Challenges always gave Him a thrill, and this one seemed to reek with the stench of much struggle and bloodshed.
Planning,
He thought. A great deal of planning would be required. Foresight was His gift; it came quite naturally. It was also rather necessary in dealings such as these. Tomorrow would be the day for research, He concluded. Planning the next, and then a-hunting He would go.

This will involve LOTR in the next chapter. He, Him, and His are meant to be capitalized. This particular character is given no name for the purpose of remaining an unknown element. As such, 'He' is the name associated with him, and thus capitalized. If you've ever read any of Charles Dickens' works, you've most likely seen this done with things such as Hunger, Ignorance, Want, etc. I have one word on a separate line from others much like in Stephen King's writing. It's to show a certain kind of emphasis and to keep the word fresh in the reader's mind. I can't believe this, I sound like an uptight jerk who flashes Harvard degrees in peoples' faces. Sorry if this sounds a little stuffy, I'm trying to take my writing in a different direction from my characteristic humor. If you have suggestions, comments, flames, or anything else, feel free to tell me. (Wow, the author's note is longer than the whole chapter. I feel pathetic.)
