New Beginnings Chapter 3
The wrath of Addramyr
Imrahil left the realm of Gondor along with a great host of Knights, scholars and many other people of Gondor. They headed far north to reunite the realms under one banner this vision Faramir the King had of the new Gondor which would unite all of Middle Earth under one banner and peace throughout the earth. The company of Knights came through Rohan were many Gondorions had been placed and the land was governed the men also came past Isenguard the realm of the kings son Addramyr. The men passed right through this realm until they passed east and up toward the northern wasteland. The Knights travelled for months talking to people of small villagers on the way through the lands often fighting off foul wolves and many other creatures which still lingered the lands. Most of the realms were know under the banner of Gondor and Imrahil posted many men to the villages and regions of middle earth. They finally came to the old witch realm Angmar it was between small mountains not far from the northern wasteland. The great company of Knights avoided this place for the Witcking once dwelt here and the place was filled with creatures and other foul things. As the men rode past the realm they stumbled upon a small group of soldiers who were injured along the old roadside. Imrahil could see that they were men of Gondor and from Isenguard and they were Addramyr's men but he was not to be seen.
Imrahil halted the company and he dismounted and headed over to the men, "Men of Gondor were is your captain and what has happened to you?" he spoke in great haste and the men were shaken and scared.
One of the men looked up at Imrahil and bowed to his feet, "My lord, Lord Addramyr ordered us to search the great tunnels beneath Minas Morgul each company took there own path and we came across a mighty beast. We had no choice but to abandon the tunnel and we came out into this realm of Angmar" the man began to weep for he was scared beyond belief.
Imrahil knelt down to the man, "What was chasing you and were is the prince of Gondor!" Imrahil placed his hand on the mans shoulder.
The man replied to him with horror on his face, "Lord Addramyr we never saw again for we could not go back, the beast was full of flame it had a great sword of flame which slew many of our company we could not destroy it for it was too great" the man weeped at Imrahils feet.
Imrahils face turned grey as he looked to the man in horror, "A Balrog, they haven't been seen since the days of Morgoth, something is a miss here we must return to the Gondor at once and hold council with the King" Imrahil then mounted his horse.
The Knights helped the injured men onto horses as they rode back through the realms they united. They finally reached Minas Tirith and were not welcomed to cheers but to crying as the city looked grey and old, Imrahil looked worryingly around as he rode up to the great Hall and entered. He could see Addramyr sitting in the Kings throne weeping in his hands.
Imrahil walked up to the know king of Gondor and bowed, "My lord why do you weep and were is Faramir?" he then stood up and glanced around.
Addramyr looked up at Imrahil with cold eyes, "My father the king is dead, this only Knight who survived the mission they went on will tell you the rest" Addramyr sprang up and left the hall crying as he walked down to his chambers.
Seon the Knight who had survived arose and spoke softly to Imrahil, "My lord Imrahil, I am the sole survivor of the kings guard. We found the Barbarians who were causing trouble to the villagers and the leading Barbarian was in fact Faramirs own son. His lost wife Debalos was with him and they told Faramir everything. We then left the cave of the Barbarians but were attacked in the deep swamp area there King Faramir fell with his Knights. He ordered me to leave to get a message back to the new King of Gondor" he sat back down looking at the ground.
Imrahil sat in his chair for he new Debalos and introduced Faramir to here, he was bewildered and a tear came down his cheek as he loved Faramir dearly. Imrahil rose nodded to Seon and left down to the chamber of Addramyr, he walked into the chamber to see Addramyr holding his fathers helm he wore at the battle of Belfalos.
Imrahil sat beside Addramyr, "Ah yes your fathers old helm he wore that into battle and the orcs fled before it for they feared the black helm of death. Addramyr you are the king know and you must act accordingly, we have unfinished business up north and those Barbarians will be punished but you must act wisely" he put his arm around Addramyrs shoulder.
Addramyr stood up and looked out of the window, "Act wisely you say! I am hurt truly hurt by my fathers death and I will act best I can for the Barbarians will not suffer my wrath. The city of Minas Morgul is too dangerous to venture a Balrog dwells there as does the ancient spider Shelob and many others" he stood glaring out of the window.
Imrahil looked to him in wonder, "Shelob you say? And a Balrog what evil draws them there. I fear something evil is about to be unfolded for something is drawing all evil to that region. Addramyr we must act quickly, ready the men we must destroy the canyon and area around Minas Morgul" he arose know.
Addramyr looked to his great uncle, "Yes we will act quickly but firstly I must take care of the Barbarians to the south border once they are dealt with accordingly then we shall gather are strength and march on Minas Morgul", he walked past Imrahil toward the door.
Imrahil grabbed Addramyrs arm, "Listen to me if you do not act firstly to Minas Morgul I fear you will miss the opportunity to trap the Balrog and the other evil creators in there lair. Do not be eager to deal out death and judegment my nephew please listen to this reason" Addramyr gave Imrahil an evil look and walked out of the room.
Addramyr was gone with his fathers helm, Imrahil also left the room and could see Adondra his niece and Faramirs other child. She smiled at her great uncle and Imrahil looked to her with pitty for she new not of her fathers fall.
Imrahil smiled to her, "Hello fair princess of Gondor, come we must speak with you" they walked toward the garden of the palace.
Imrahil know looked to her, "Listen to me Adondra what ever happens you must swear to me you will protect Gondor and peace will endure while me and your brother are gone. Do not ask why just take this advice for I ride with your brother to battle but I fear your brother is becoming to wrath for he is in pain at the moment. Go know speak of this no more just remember what I have said" with this Imrahil smiled and kissed her brow as he walked out of the great hall and down to the gate.
The men were know amassed and Addramyr led the company Imrahil mounted his horse and rode next to the know King of Gondor. Adondra knew deep down that her father was no more but it was up to her to defend the people of Gondor should they fail on there mission. The great company of Knights, footmen, archers, siege equipment etc know rode toward the borders of Gondor they reached the woodland area and found the village Faramir had came through burned to the ground. At last the company rode through the woodland filled with hung men and they could see the battlefield in which Faramir had fought for the last time. The men could see there King and crows pecking at his body. Addramyr ordered the men to take the Knights bodies and Faramirs and take them back to Minas Tirith while the rest of the company rode to the cave of the Barbarians. Addramyr rode up to the entrance and two Barbarians looked at him, he quickly slew them and charged into the cave killing men, women and children in the process.
Addramyr screamed aloud, "Were is your leader come forth!" but no one replied.
Imrahil rode in and could see bodys everywhere and Addramyr rode back out looking at his uncle. The leader had fled but to were they could not see, Addramyr know ordered the company to move out as they rode north toward Minas Morgul they could see many villages and towns folk. Addramyr slew many of these villages for he could not risk that Donvan Faramirs son was hiding amongst them and he grew enraged and a man who was dangerous filled with wrath. Imrahil looked concerned for his nephew but he could not do a thing because he was know the King. The men finally arrived at the pass of Cirith Ungol were the scouts Addramyr had posted there were gone, the company know rode infront of the bridge leading into the ghost city and Addramyr ordered the men to blow there horns to draw the enemy out.
Imrahil left the realm of Gondor along with a great host of Knights, scholars and many other people of Gondor. They headed far north to reunite the realms under one banner this vision Faramir the King had of the new Gondor which would unite all of Middle Earth under one banner and peace throughout the earth.
