Disclaimer: I'm not Tolkien, I don't own anything of his. The names and
places I made up are products of my mind, except for Sauron of coarse.
Names of places have been changed over time, especially the kingdoms of the
"Nine mortal men, doomed to die." So no one knows except Tolkien...
"My servants gather together...your master calls."
Nine dark shadows gathered in the darkest depths of the shadow realm. A fiery form appeared in front of the nine. A figure too dark to see stood before the shadows. Clad in dark armor he was an intimidating sight. The tallest of the nine walked forward and kneeled before his dark lord.
"We are ready to serve master, you command and we shall obey."
Drawing his sword the Rider placed it in front of him.
"Witch-King of Angmar it pleases me that you are ready and willing to serve. As the Lord of the Nazgûl, your loyalty and deeds of the past have earned you to be the Black Captain of the task I shall set before you. The task of bringing me the rest of my power and everlasting evil, which is embodied in my Ring," Sauron stated in Black Speech.
"My Lord, I humbly await the day when you will rule and when evil will reign. I offer my sword to eternal darkness and your rule," the Witch-King replied.
Sauron nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Who else among you is ready to serve? Are you ready Khamûl, Shadow of the East?" Sauron asked.
Falling to one knee and placing his sword in front of him he said, "I exist to serve you and evil my Lord. It will be an honor to plague the mortals with evil."
"Melkan of Alestin?"
Kneeling he said, "we will find the One Ring my Lord so that you may rule unhindered, with complete control. It is my sworn duty to help you do so."
"Seykin of Vishale?"
Dropping to one knee he said, "we will find the one who bears the Ring and show them the true face of evil. When you have the Ring my Lord you shall be that face."
"Dakian of Tanenur? What say you?"
Kneeling and bowing his head he said, "I say that evil will triumph my Lord and when it does you will be unstoppable."
"Adierel of Dekire?"
Crossing an arm over his chest and kneeling he said, "when darkness and evil consume the souls of the weak, the strong and mighty will survive and you will ultimately rule without hindrance."
"Fuinur of Haradrim?"
Lowering his head and kneeling he said, "we will strike fear into the hearts of those who seek to stop us from achieving the Ring my Lord."
"Herumor of Haradrim?"
Kneeling he said, "anyone who seeks to stop us, my Lord, will be destroyed. We will use any means necessary to retrieve the Ring."
Gothmog of Forivie?"
"In the end there will be darkness," kneeling he then said, "and I will be glad to serve you my Lord once that end is here and I will gladly serve you now to achieve that darkness."
"It is as I expected," Sauron said. "I've had many a dark creature breed the best stallions. They were bred by darkness and will be rode by darkness. They will carry you on your journey, yet your travel will be hindered by sunlight especially when the sun is at its peak. Travel in shadows, at night you will be most powerful. You'll be able to see those of the dark, but mortals and other creatures of the light will cast shadows on your minds and you will see them clearly. Darkness and evil shall be your ally. Bring the Ring to me and you all shall reap the benefits darkness and evil have to offer."
With that Sauron disappeared into the darkness. Nine horses rode up to their masters and their master's mounted them.
The Lord of the Nazgûl turned his horse to face the others, "we are Riders, servants of Sauron, retrievers of the Ring. Let us ride together as One and in the name of Sauron."
The Nine rode together out of the Shadow Realm into the darkness.
Well, I hope my interpretation of the Rider's is somewhat accurate. I wanted to give the Black Riders/Nazgûl/Ringwraiths more of a say in the Lord of the Rings saga. I hope you liked reading this small story, if you've read the books you know the parts the Riders play. I'll end here for now anyway, please review!!! Also, Herumor and Fuinur were servants in Sauron's favor in the Silmarillion (pg.351) and they ruled Haradrim which is in the South. Also there are three Riders who are exiles from the high race of Numénor I believe they would be the Witch-King himself, Dakian, and Adierel. Gothmog I recently found in 'The Complete Guide to Middle-Earth' (and no, this is not Gothmog the Balrog).
