The entire apartment consisted of three very opulent rooms. The spacious
kitchen being one, a beautiful bathroom with all the furnishings being the
another, and the third room is the largest of them all with many different
parts to it thrown together in a very practical lay out consisting of
everything you would ever want. We don't need any dividing walls do we? I
could sit in the plush couch by the fire and read a book in one part of the
room while you might paint in the other. Almost all activities were
centered in this room. We don't mind it. Neither of us distract the other
we love just being near each other.
You smiled at me across the long dining table in the room main room. I knew that you thought that the breakfast was very nice. You really don't seem to say a word. You are so very reticence but I don't mind. I watched as you stared at me for a while studying my features. I wonder what you think of at times. You're quite a mysterious figure, you know.
"Will you please tell me a bit about my host?" I asked pretending to be very formal although in reality we were quite intimate. So weird to be intimate with a man you hardly know.
"I have not really given you quite the information that you might inquire, have I? Please forgive me for that. You have never even been permitted the courtesy of my name." Your voice is so rich and deep. You sound like a rich gentleman with no trace of dishonesty at all. How I love you. Your voice makes my heart sing such a pleasure it truly is. "My name, dear, is Sauron. I happen to understand that yours was Rachel but you no longer seem to be the same woman anymore there for I feel that it is necessary to have a fresh start and a new name to go with it." You smile quite charismatically.
"I understand completely and it makes perfect sense to me. I am no longer Rachel. I am a new person. Rachel is dead." I feel such pain at the mention of my past. Who would think that it was my recent past at that? "What would you suggest for a title?"
"I think that Teqon is a magnificent name. My mother was called Teqon. She had such beautiful eyes like you do. So very intelligent. There is no competition for the likes of the two of you."
"Where is your family?" I implored trying to sustain the conversation. What a lovely voice I can think of nothing else. "Wait a moment. You said your name is Sauron, why that is silly!" I giggled with infatuation.
You appear troubled for a moment your jovial mask fading. "Why ever is my name silly?"
"Sauron is quite a unusual name. The only time that I have ever encountered it was in the book called the 'Lord of the Rings' by JRR Tolkien. Sauron was THE lord of the rings. He was a necromancer in the second age of Middle Earth who tried to oppress the nations of people to gain dominion but never prevailed."
You laughed a bit "O yes Tolkien was a wonderful man. I am in fact the Sauron that you speak of but who I am is not really the important thing. The important thing for you to remember now is that I am here with you now and that I will remain here with you. You fill me with such joy you could never imagine. Just being around you lights the room up. It has been so long since I have had a companion. The last time was Tolkien in fact and he was the first since the I the beginning of the third age when I gave up the Ring to Mount Doom."
"But if you are one and the same then..." I started but was cut off by your gentle smile and ceased so you might have your word.
"Do not fear me for I am not the same man that I was about seven thousand years ago. All humans are bound to change at some point in their life."
I was allowed to continue now, " Who you are and what you have done would never change my opinion of you. You are my master, you are my love, you are my protector, and you are a good man. You have done nothing before me to prove any differently. The only way that any one could get me to change my mind about you is if you proved it to me yourself."
You smiled graciously. The conversation had ended there. We stood up at the same time and pushed our chairs in. The dishes magically disapperated at your will. We walked over to the couch and sat down next to each other holding hands.
The look on your face is quite serious as you turn towards me and say, "There is no way I can ever let you go, do you know that? I can not give up such a friendship as this. I need to have some one around or I will go insane. I think that there is no one else that I would rather have here."
I laugh, "Good, because you might of had to kick me out if you didn't want me." Things are so simple. "Are you enchanting me? I don't take to people this well."
"Enchanting? No! Who is being silly now? But I was serious when I said that I would never let you get away. I have a proposition for you. As you obviously notice I am quite powerful."
"Yes, of course I do. I am not washing dishes." Laughs. "You have a ability to conjure things."
"That is right. What I am asking of you now is to accept these abilities from me."
I stare at you incredulously. This scares me.
"As all mortals you will eventually die. I am offering you immortality this is something you can not turn down. What would it be to live forever? You can do anything. You can create anything you want. Look at this entire apartment. I created it straight from my head. Imagine the possibilities. I want to keep you forever. I shall not make the same mistake I made with Tolkien."
I am still uncertain, "How can some one decide if they wish to live forever? That truly can not be as wonderful as it seems."
"You are quite correct there. The problem I have faced throughout the ages is loneliness. I have become so desperate but the first time that I read your thoughts I wanted to know you. Watching you was the only thing that kept me sane. But this will be solved because you will have me. We can keep each other happy. We can live like this forever. One day you will even be ready to face the real world again and I will help you survive what you did not survive the first time through life."
I felt my defenses melt away. I love you so much. You have to be right. What a truly wonderful being you are. What must it be like to be omnipotent like that? "Of course I will join you." I lean against you once again. You are so satisfying to me. I want you to love me forever.
