At the same time, Sauron and Blaire, who had introduced themselves to each
other, were getting very buddy-buddy. Sauron was telling her all about his
troubles with the Ring, and Blaire was telling him about her friends and
how much she missed them already.
Trouble was, Sauron was beginning to find her very attractive, with her golden hair and evergreen eyes. She, of course, didn't have any idea, and he decided that the best way to get over his lust was to send her away.
But he needed to have a reason to do that. What was he going to tell her? Oh.he knew. He smiled mischievously
"Are you listening?" Blaire asked, bringing him back to the present.
"What?"
Blaire glared at him, but smiled anyway. She was enjoying teasing the most powerful being in Middle Earth.
Sauron gave her a pouty look, and they both burst out laughing. Once they calmed down, Sauron resolved to tell her that he was sending her away.
"How can he do this to me?" Blaire muttered to herself and she rode west towards Rohan. She was riding one of the Ringwraiths' horses. Sauron wanted her to get his Ring back. Well, she had news for him. She was going to get his Ring- and then throw it into the Cracks of Doom!
"I thought that men would be different in Middle Earth, but he proved me wrong! Does he think he's so special that everyone will bow to his will? In his dreams!"
Blaire had left Barad-dur the week before, and was now closing in on Edoras. Hopefully the city hadn't been emptied yet. She knew they would end up fleeing to Helm's Deep, she just didn't know when.
She rode up the main road of Edoras, relieved to see people still going about their business. She dismounted her horse in front of Theoden's place and ran up the stairs and into the main hall. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her. Suddenly someone shouted her name, and Blaire turned to her left.
"Allyn?!" Blaire shouted back, and the two friends embraced. "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask the same about you!" Allyn replied, and they both started laughing. Everyone in the hall was still staring at them, and when they broke their hug, they turned and said loudly, "It's rude to stare!"
Everyone returned to his or her business. Everyone except Aragorn, Legolas, and Boromir. The three approached Blaire and Allyn in amazement.
"What?" Allyn asked.
"Now there are two of them!" Legolas wailed.
Blaire turned to Allyn and asked with a smile, "Have you been giving the elf a hard time?"
"Oh great, she knows everything too," Boromir said grouchily.
"Not quite, but enough to know where I am, and who you three- you're supposed to be dead!"
"So I've heard," Boromir muttered.
Allyn laughed and dragged Blaire out of the room. "Come on. You need a bath and a change of clothes. Then we'll talk."
Blaire sat on Allyn's bed and braided her hair. Allyn was telling her about how she'd gotten to Middle Earth and eating dinner. The two acted like everything was normal, except for the fact that they were in Middle Earth.
"So has Theoden decided to leave Edoras yet?" Blaire asked when Allyn had finished her story.
Allyn shook her head. 'Nope. It'll be soon though. Legolas, Boromir, Aragorn, Gimli, and Gandalf had been here a few days already before I got here."
"I wonder what they're going to do with us," Blaire said thoughtfully. "I mean, they can't just leave us here to die, and I've got a horse anyways."
"You've got a horse?" Allyn asked.
Blaire nodded. "Sauron gave it to me when I left. It's one of the Nazgul's. It's actually a really good horse, surprisingly."
"Yeah, you'd expect it to be really evil. I guess it depends on the rider."
"I think the horse is more intelligent than it's previous owner," Blaire muttered.
The door opened and Eowyn came in. "Theoden just made an announcement. We're leaving Edoras tomorrow. I'll give you some bags, so you can pack some clothes."
"Are we going to Helm's Deep?"
Eowyn nodded and left.
"Well she wasn't surprised at the knowledge we have."
Allyn shook her head. "She's known since I got here."
Blaire sighed. "I bet they won't let me fight. I've got my kamas and my bo staff, but they probably won't do me much good against Uruk-Hai."
"Probably not. But who knows, maybe Aragorn and Boromir will teach us how to use a sword."
"They'll need us anyways."
"Yeah they will."
