New Beginnings Chapter 4
The Battle of the Tower of Moon
Addramyr and Imrahil rode forth toward the bridge and halted half way across with them rode Seon with the Kings banner. Addramyr was filled with rage still for he desired to kill every last foe here for his father's death. Imrahil was looking concerned but he grew weaker ever by the day also Seon was worried for the King. There came a weird type of mist over the mountain range and covered the valley were the men stood for they could not see anywhere for the fog was thick and covered all of the land around them. Addramyr's horse was trying to flee but he held it firm as somebody came out of the doors to the Minas Morgul. Donvan rode forth bearing a warg rider as he slowly rode toward the three men he was escorted by two orcs. Seon looked confused as did the King and Imrahil, Donvan stopped not far from the three men and he was smiling wearing armour which had been seen inside the chamber in Minas Morgul.
Donvan stared the men up and down and was smiling to Addramyr, "Well we meet again Knight of Gondor. And you must be my great uncle Imrahil, ah and my fellow brother you must be the know King of Gondor. I must tell you that the kingdom of Gondor belongs to me and me alone for I am the rightful heir and I had pleasure killing your father" he smiled as he said this and spat at the men.
Addramyr drew his sword, "You will suffer my wrath you demon of the world. How do you know so much!" he kept his eyes glared at the man.
Donvan smiled, "For I see many things for there is much power stirring here, also a great evil is coming my master will come soon enough" with this the men stuck in the fog were ambushed by a great host of orcs.
Imrahil quickly looked to his rear and could see orcs killing his men but couldn't see how many or what was going on because of the fog. Donvan charged at Addramyr knocking him off his horse. Addramyr killed the warg and the two brothers fought on the bridge, Imrahil and Seon battled the two orcs who were with Donvan. The battle raged on through the cavern Imrahil and Seon slew the orcs and could not see Donvan or Addramyr for they had fallen down the bridge into the muddy swamp below and they fought fist to fist for there swords had been left on the bridge. Imrahil knew deep down that this battle was not going well for the enemy had the advantage of fog and they had the high ridges of the mountains to shoot down from. Suddenly out of the door burst the Balrog which Addramyr had seen and it stomped toward the men on the bridge followed by Shelob and her spiders. Imrahil was knocked off his horse as was Seon and the Balrog marched toward the men, Imrahil quickly pushed Seon down out of the way and he fell behind a rock while Imrahil lay on the floor while the Balrog strolled toward him. He could see that this would be his end and the Balrog quickly drew its great flame sword and was about to crash it down upon Imrahil when a great boulder crashed right into the bridge smashing it in half and knocking the Balrog beneath the Bridge to were Addramyr and Donvan fought. Imrahil looked behind and could see Seon using the catapult they had brought to full use. Imrahil quickly jumped down to save Addramyr while Seon battled orcs stopping them from reaching the bridge. Seon could see some of the Knights and quickly blew his horn to ralley them to him as the men fought in a circle with there backs to the cliff. Addramyr grabbed his dagger and struck Donvan to the leg and the knife stuck deep into his leg. Donvan gave a great cry and smashed his metal fist into Addramyrs face knocking him into the thick mud. The Balrog flew back up out of the mud toward the battle, while Imrahil was trying to run through the mud but couldn't manoeuvre. Suddenly Shelob and her spiders crashed down and confronted Imrahil, he quickly drew his sword and struck many of the spiders but there numbers were too great. Imrahil looked about him to see Addramyr laying there with his face bleeding he wasn't moving and Donvan was moving over to finish the king of Gondor. Imrahil quickly battled his way through the spiders and rushed to the Kings aid Donvan turned and could see Imrahil rushing toward him. Addramyr know awoke and quickly struck Donvan in his injured leg with his leg Donvan reeled into the mud and fell as Imrahil quickly grabbed the King as they climbed there way back to the bridge were the battle was still raging on. Imrahil quickly laid the King next to him on a rock as he examined what was happening in the battle. The army of Gondor were trapped because the canyon was filled with orcs and a Balrog for there was no other way out of the area. Imrahil saw his horse still there next to him he quickly placed the King upon it and climbed the horse himself as he galloped through the mist and rode past the battle he couldn't see were he was heading but as he passed through the mist, a great fiery figure erupted from the mist and flew after Imrahil it was the Balrog chasing him know. Imrahil looked back to see the Balrog chasing them at great speed he quickly headed for the shelter of the trees. He panted as he looked around to see the Balrog but it was no where to be seen he sighed and looked to the King who was weary but glanced at Imrahil and smiled. Imrahil began to ride at a fierce pace as he headed for Minas Tirith. As he came out of the woodland area the Balrog swooped down and knocked Imrahil from his horse and killing the horse because of the impact, Imrahil lay next to the river bank not moving while Addramyr was flung across the river into the bushes on the other side.
As this was happening the mist cleared from the valley of Minas Morgul to reveal body's upon bodies of men and orcs piled up filling the gap in the cavern. Seon and his men were encircled by hundreds of orcs he looked around and could see many men spread out trapped from each other. Seon couldn't see the King or Imrahil and he began to worry he glared around and could see Donvan walking down the bridge holding his wounds as the orcs came over to him. He glanced to the men and gave them an evil glare. The orc nodded and Donvan walked back into the tower of moon, the orcs stopped fighting the men and Seon knew they had to surrender for the sake of his mens lives. The men threw down there swords and were separated into two companys the smaller company of injured and weak men were led down the gap while Seon and a big company of men were led into the tower. Seon looked back and could see the men being lined up and arrowed to death by the orcs as a punishment and the fact that the men were of no use injured. Seons face grew grave and he was pushed into the tower were he and his men awaited what they thought was certain death, but for all this they were going to be used as slaves for a higher lord who had not yet shown himself. The men were put to there knees in front of Donvan who sat in a great chair were once the great kings of old sat and he looked the men up and down while the orcs tended his wounds.
Donvan glared the men and began to speak, "It seems your so called King has abandoned you in this time of need, I have spared your lives because you will all serve different roles here. Some of you will work as slaves doing many tasks such as mining, others will be used for better purposes, for my master will arrive shortly and will see that the world of Middle earth be under his banner" as he spoke blood came from his mouth and he nodded to the orcs who moved the men out.
The men were taken into different columns and led down different paths, Seon was led with some of his captains down into a chamber full of breeding orcs and other foul beats for all evil had fled to this place. The other men who were led down into the caverns of the place were shackled into chains and given many equipment to man for they were know slaves and eventually all of Middle Earth would be in time.
Addramyr and Imrahil rode forth toward the bridge and halted half way across with them rode Seon with the Kings banner.
