New Beginnings Chapter 8
The Salvation of Seon
While Addramyr and Imrahil strived to defeat the evil which was march ling before them, Seon the kings captain of the guard who was captured in the battle of the tower of moon was still held prisoner in the caverns beneath Minas Morgul. Seon and the remaining captives were diminishing fast for they barley ate since Donvan left with the army to Minas Tirith. Seon new that the he and his comrades would not survive the week, for they were slowly turning to darkness. As the days past by Seon noticed that the number of guards reduced for they were sent to the front for the pillage of Gondor was going well for the army of orcs. Seon noticed that the orcs had stopped coming to the cells so he decided to act looking to the other men hung on the walls along side him.
Seon glanced to his men, "Listen to me men of Gondor, I now that you have no strength left in you and you wish to die quietly but please listen to me. We have a chance to escape if we use our brains", Seon spoke like a king of men for he told them the plan he had devised as the men regained hope.
Hours later an orc entered the cell smirking at the men, the orc walked over to Seon to untie the man for he was wanted by the commanding orc. As the orc cut Seons bonds, he quickly dived at the orc with all his remaining strength wrestled the orc and killed him using the orcs own sword. Seon wiped away the blood which stained his face and as he released his fellow prisoners. Seon managed to release four of the prisoners who were once key captains in the army of Gondor, the soldiers were weak but had hope know. The men left the cell and entered a corridor filled with torches on walls and many cell doors, the walls were that of rock for they were in a cavern deep beneath the earth. Seon led them to the right of the cell were they encountered no orcs which surprised the men, for a while the men seemed to be lost as they kept walking down the same corridors. Seon noticed two of the men were so weak they often collapsed on the floor, he had to act quickly and find the way out. As Seon looked around the corridor he noticed a very small lever which he pulled to release a staircase of some sort. The men quickly scrambled up the stair case which led them into a massive cavern filled with fire and ash. Around the cavern was various equipment and machines which looked to building siege equipment and many other weapons of war. The cavern was filled with many orcs still working, Seon quickly pointed to a small entrance to the right of the men. The men finnaly reached the small entrance they entered and followed a spiral staircase up and up until they came to a vast room filled with marble which was stained black. Seon looked out of the nearby window and he could see far and wide across the land, the men had climbed a staircase which had led into the old kings throne room which overlooked the land. Seons face turned ill as the floor began to shake and the entrance vanished into darkness, the men began to panic for they seemed stuck for the marble floor began to turn into a dark pool of quicksand.
A great voice could be heard from the shadows of the room, "I pity you foolish men, you think you can escape the clutches of me that easily, I think not."
Seon turned to the shadows, "Do not listen to this foul voice on the air, this is a trick there is no moving floor come my brothers close your eyes and think not of this evil."
The voice began to laugh as Seon and his men began to sweat and struggle against the terror that lurked in the shadows. The voice began to sound more chilling as the men began to freeze and could not move. Suddenly a great thunder was heard and the men were throne back crashing to the ground by this thrust of wind. The shadows began to form into a shape upon the throne which lay at the front of the room; the shadow formed a mighty figure clad in black armour and helm with menacing red fiery eyes. The men gasped as the figure laughed and took a step toward the men with a great crashing sound as the figure moved.
The shadow spoke to the men fiercely, "You will fear me now for I am Morgoth, once the ruler of Middle Earth and will be once more, mightier than my apprentice Sauron. I have escaped the valor and will enslave the world again."
Seon gasped as he stood there in horror as did his other men who only heard of Morgoth the first dark lord threw fairy tales of old.
Morgoth began to speak again as he walked toward the men with his great mace of shadow, "Well know you must die for I can not have you speaking of me to anyone, not until I have fully shown myself."
With a great strike like lighting Morgoth swung his great mace which shattered two of the men into pieces as they lay like rag dolls on the floor. The remaining man cursed Morgoth and looked to Seon then he charged Morgoth but to no affect for as he charged Morgoth, the man vanished into the shadow which surrounded Morgoth.
Morgoth laughed at Seon, "Well it seems we meet again man of Gondor, you could have been a great captain of my army but instead you resist. Persistence looks to have killed you man for in the end that is all you are!"
Morgoth screamed as Seon quickly dodged his great mace and quickly jumped threw the window of the tower. Seon landed on the ledge of the window and managed to grip the edge as the shadow of Morgoth began to spread from the room and out of the window like a hand chasing Seon. Seon looked down and could see the bridge and the muddy pool below it, he released himself from the ledge falling into the mud pool below as Morgoth yelled across the land. Seon managed to climb out of the muddy pool and managed to get on the bridge. He could see the shadow of Morgoth expanding out of the fortress and toward him he quickly ran along the rocky road toward Othilien. Seon had escaped the clutches of Morgoth for know, but he new deep down that Morgoth would soon take physical form and march across the land destroying the land, but not like Sauron Morgoth would enslave the world and use them to his will. Seon was know heading through south Othilien close to Osgiliath were he saw thousands of Morgoths armys marching across the land toward Gondor. Seon had to warn Minas Tirith but what he did not know was that Minas Tirith was about to fall to Donvans onslaught.
