The Great Speaker was angry. Not only had the troops lost the battle, but the girl was still missing. He had just sent out a few orcs to find Sakgahn, the orc that had taken care of the girl. He hadn't thought before to simply force the information out of this pathetic maggot. It was so simple, yet so complicated in itself. When the orcs arrived, the Speaker found out what information he needed, and then told them to be on their way. He would keep Sakgahn prisoner until the girl came, which he knew she would.

Renamira sighed. She had done almost nothing for the past day and a half. And she was worried, worried about Sakgahn mainly. Aragorn and his friends had decided that they would journey to the Black Gate, to draw out Sauron's forces, to draw out Sauron's forces. This meant that Sakgahn was in danger. She didn't want him to die.
Just then, Esgalia came over to her. "What's wrong, child?" she asked. "It's Sakgahn, my father, he's in trouble." "Go to him child," Esgalia said, not knowing that this meant going to Mordor. Renamira decided to take her advice. As she left, Kyran came up to her. "I'm coming too," he said. "I need to watch out for you anyway." So the two left, not knowing that the armies were waiting for them.

It was only a few days journey to the Black Gate, and this time they weren't being yelled at to run by the orc leader. Renamira had time to talk to Kyran, and to get to know him. He had a sweet nature, and she had already learned that he had no hard feelings for the orcs. He had proved that when he had joined them, and fought with them. She was glad that he had come along, for she had needed a companion to talk to.

Once they had reached the Black Gate, Renamira grew nervous. She had known that the orc armies would be waiting there for her, but now that knowledge was beginning to sink in. And she was right. The army was waiting there, and the Great Speaker had much to say. "Well, well, what have we here? It's the little girl who ran away from my lord Sauron. What a pleasant surprise." "We've come for my father, Sakgahn. Is he alive?" Renamira asked. The Speaker smirked, and said, "Why, yes he is. And he's been looking for you. It's time for you to join him. You didn't think you'd get off that easy, did you? And who is this? You've brought a friend. How lovely. He can stay too. Men, take them to the prisoner. Keep them under control. Let them talk to each other, but if things get out of hand, chop of the head of the orc prisoner." Then he turned, and walked away, as Renamira and Kyran were whisked away into the crowds of orcs.

Renamira was overjoyed to see Sakgahn unharmed, but her joy was crushed by the circumstances of the moment. No one spoke for quite some time. This had somewhat to do with the fact that they were nervous of the orcs, and somewhat to do with the fact that Renamira was thinking. She was plotting a way to escape. Finally, Sakgahn spoke. "I'm glad to see you alive, my child. Although, I had hoped that you would not come." "How could I not come, father? I love you, and I needed to save you. You do realize that the armies of Gondor and Rohan are on their way, and that they would have killed you?" Just then, she got an idea.

"Kyran, I have just come up with a plan," she whispered. Kyran smiled. He hoped that it was a good plan. "What is it?" he asked. "It's quite simple, yet hard to do," she answered. "First, I'll flirt with the orc guard. I saw he had a knife, and we need it. While I'm doing that, I'll grab the knife and hold it behind me. You will grab it, and cut your own bonds. However, do not take your hands out of the rope. Instead, tie it loosely so that it looks as if you were still tied. Then, I'll stop my flirting, and I'll cut my own bonds. I'll release Sakgahn as well." Sakgahn and Kyran looked at each other, and Sakgahn nodded. "It will work," he said. But Kyran had doubts. "Why aren't we going to free ourselves? What's the point?" he asked. Renamira answered, "There is no way that we can win against thousands of orcs. But, if we cut our bonds now, and endure this prisonership, then when the armies come, we can break free." Kyran understood now, and he nodded. "Brilliant."

Esgalia watched as the two children walked off into the distance. She sighed. She had just told them Renamira to go and rescue her orc father. But now she was doubtful. She had forgotten to think of what those might mean.

Renamira felt a little odd as she performed her "duty." She really hated flirting with an orc, especially one who was keeping her captive. But finally she was able to grab the knife, and hand it to Kyran. She slowly backed off, relieved to be able to leave this orc alone. She then let Kyran cut her bonds with the rope, and she cut his. Sakgahn's was cut too, and all three tied the ropes loosely back on their hands.

It was a day or two later that the armies showed up. They had come to defeat Sauron and give Frodo time. Among them was Esgalia, who had come to try and find Renamira and Kyran. She had been so worried about them that she just had to come. She was about to be really surprised. Aragorn called out to Sauron, and shortly afterward, out came his representative, the Mouth of Sauron.
