Okay, I'm trying to do that update-once-a-week thing, but we'll have to see how it goes depending on GollumRox's schedule. She's very busy. But hopefully she'll get some time to put it up.

Just to let you all know, I'm working on chapter fourteen right now. Twelve hardly counts though, it's only like a page. Anyways, I'm trying to get ahead a bit since I know these chappies with Sauron's view on things are going to be a bit... different, especially now that I'm having to introduce like 13 more new characters and all that. All the pain and suffering I go for you guys. *sigh* I'm trying to figure out all the things the Valar can say in a trial-ish thing and yet be funny right now, and slowly I'll get there. But there, now you have an idea of where the Valar chapter is. If you have any suggestions for it, please tell me and I'd be happy to try and work them in!

Well then, reviews! Yippy!

XNemesis: Shibbay. I liked the thing about Eonwe, and I kinda put that in, the essence of it. Hehehe. Yeah, and I figured that Aule might be a bit miffed. Well, I'm already insane and am in the process of taking over the universe. I have three planets that the squigem got for me, but no parts of earth yet. But I have the first five steps planned out, but nothing for sure after that. I'll just have to see how difficult the populous of the world ends up. And all of my friends have their roles too. Wow, it's like paralleling stuff. Woooo.... I dunno what I would do with Tolkien estates though. I'd probably end up groveling in front of Christopher Tolkien or something degrading like that. But if I am the one who ends up taking over the world and stuff, you can be included in my 'cabinet' or something if you want. You just need to say what you want to do. And I think most people would have blown up, but remember, Haldir was picked cause he wasn't suppose to be as easy to get to. Not to say that he is without getting to. ...... That was a really bad sentence. Oh well.

AzureDragoness: It seems that many people are freaked out by my story. I'm one of them too, but it's all goooood. I'm not telling what the whole Rondae thing is about, but maybe soon. Hehehee.

Elderberry: That would be so awesome if there was a point when that could be an answer. I loved that phrase though, "cower, insignificant minion." I loved it so much that I was saying it to my friends, and then I got a bit carried away and said it to my mom. But it was all good. I'm going to quote you on that.

Mystic Catface: Glad that it is still fun. Bickering is jolly stuff, at least, in controlled environments.

Kit Cloudkicker: Wow, you said so much in your reviews that were like things that I wrote about that it kind of creeped me out. I talked about the warning about seeing the Valar thing, and the doing something about Sauron getting into peoples' minds. Creeepy. Anyways, yeah, it was low, but Sauron is low too so he doesn't deserve as good of treatment as most people. I do watch Sponge Bob sometimes, but it was GollumRox who made the chapter title. I had no idea what it was all about except that it said liar, so that was good enough for me!

Joana: Thank you very much! That was a nice thing to hear, it made me feel special. And welcome to the fic! I hope you enjoy the rest as much as you have been enjoying it so far!

lute: Sauron's been getting a lot of feelings of pity lately. Maybe I need to get him to do something bad... Muahahaha! Thank you for reviewing!

Lola-j: now that is a nickname for you that I have not seen before. That's okay though! I'm glad that although you have only read two chapters that you are enjoying it.

pherhyandoiel: I love Dr. Pepper. Especially Red Fusion, that's the best. But they only sell it in the 12 packs and so I don't get it often, but today I puppy-eyed my mom enough that she got it! Weeeee!!!!! That makes me happy cause it is so good. Especially when you haven't had anything to eat since dinner the night before, then you go really crazy. It's awesome. And *gasp*! How could I have not seen Monty Python? You obviously have not read my bio. Monty Python and the Holy Grail happens to be my favorite comedy ever, and I learned the Camelot Song and the Sir Robin Song. Very very funny stuff, love it.

Well anywho, that was fun. And as promised, here's my hopeful update for the week!
They walked on for a while more; Haldir guessed it to be around noon when he could finally see some change to the scenery as the trees became less dense.

In the distance, slightly to the right, there was another city as large as Tirion, but not condensed upon a hill but spread throughout the valley. As before, it emanated a certain glow, only he could tell that here it was greater, even though it was still a ways away.

"Valmar," Elhith said, noticing what Haldir was looking at. "The city of the Valar. We'll be there in twenty minutes, I'd say, at the pace we're going now."

"What will we do when we get there?"

"Well, Terendul and Vanimo were the escorts, so they will bring him before the Valar in Mahanaxar."

"That is where Morgoth was sentenced wasn't it?" Haldir asked. Sauron visibly spazzed at his words, but did not stop.

"Yes, the Ring of Doom."

Did you hear that, Sauron? Haldir thought to himself as loudly as he could, hoping that Sauron would have no other choice but to listen. You just can't seem to get away from those darn rings of doom, can you?

After a mental sound of irritation, Sauron responded. Do you remember what I said to you earlier?

Mmm... vaguely. Something about head smashing and getting annoyed.

Yes, well, this would be one of those times when it would be wise not to try and intentionally provoke me.

Ah, are you stressed Sauron? Haldir asked.

Frankly, yes, a bit. What was your first clue?

Just an educated guess.

Well, just as a hint, give me a bubble that's like twenty feet wide after this. It would be to your benefit.

Well, if it benefits me...

He stopped there, and Sauron did not make any reply, which Haldir was glad of.

Soon Haldir was able to tell that they were going downwards, and the glow ahead of them became obscured by the hills.

There were other signs that made it apparent that they were close. The path ahead changed from short grass to perfectly laid stone, and then to gold. Terendul and Vanimo, as Elhith has called them, stopped here and tidied themselves up a bit, pulling their cloaks about them in a more formal fashion.

"Is there anything I should be doing?" Haldir asked when even Elhith brushed his tunic.

"No, I do not think that you will be called to go before them so there is no need today. Had you been, you probably would have had time to get cleaned up. They must though, since they will be going in."

During all this Sauron stood impatiently a little ahead, folding up the gray blanket that he had held around him all this time until now. He still looked a bit damp; his hem dripped a few forlorn drops to emphasis the point. Frowning at the two elves who were tugging at their tunics and yanking on their cloaks, he sighed. "I am just going to go on alone if you two don't hurry up."

The elves looked at him with surprise. "You can't go ahead of us," one said matter-of-factly while sitting on the ground re-lacing his boots.

Sauron leaned forward, and then whispered. "Watch me."

With that he turned about and continued down the path. After a couple steps however, he paused and faced them again. "I had a thought. Catch, Haldir." He tossed the blanket to Haldir, who reflexively held out his hands, instantly regretting it as the blanket was soaking. "Can't be going to a trial holding a blanket," he said steadily, although it was apparent that the thought discomforted him.

By the time he was walking again, the other elves had finished and were hurrying to catch up with him, not looking at all pleased. Which, Haldir reflected, was probably Sauron's point in doing it.

It was only a few minutes afterwards that the hills suddenly spread apart, the plain opening up before them. At first it seemed that there was nothing different, but then Haldir became away of something that could not be seen but was felt which made it seem even grander. Everything was flooded with a bright golden light that could not be completely contributed to the sun.

They continued on, not even allowing Haldir a moment to try and soak it in. He thought that was very unfair as he hadn't been in such a place before like the others had. Although he didn't know how long Sauron had been 'good' and thus couldn't really assume that he had been there, Haldir figured that Sauron could really care less.

There were tons of people everywhere, however they seemed to be out simply on everyday errands. Haldir was very glad of that, thinking that if people were able to connect him to Sauron, that it might make it a bit hard to fit in.

A couple people greeted Elhith, however none spoke a word to Terendul or Vanimo. Haldir figured that it must have been some unspoken rule that they, obviously on business, were not to be bothered.

The road suddenly became more broad ahead, passing under an arch in a wall and disappearing into whatever lay beyond.

Haldir was all ready to go on, but they stopped. One of the other elves, Haldir was still unsure as to which one was which, spoke to Elhith in the same tongue used before, irritating Haldir quite a bit. He knew that they could speak his language; they had spoken it earlier!

He rolled his eyes, wondering what they felt they couldn't share with him.

He says that Elhith is to bring you to the house you will have here, and that we will be going ahead.

Haldir looked up at Sauron with surprise. Thanks, he thought, a bit baffled.

Anytime. Well, not anytime... in fact, that was probably just an isolated incident and you shouldn't expect anything like it to happen again.

Haldir kept himself from smiling for once. Sauron looked about ready to slap himself for having said something helpful, however he did not get the opportunity as it seemed that all the information had been given.

The elves started towards the arch, pushing Sauron forward along with them. Elhith turned to Haldir and smiled. "Well, that's taken care of now. Would you like to see where you will be living?"

Haldir nodded slowly, and they turned down a street on the left, leaving the busy road.
So there ya go. Oh yeah, I was wondering if there was anything that you guys didn't want me to do in this. Cause I was just curious. And I know this is totally random, but if anybody had listened to the ROTK soundtrack, there is this awesome site that has the lyrics to the songs, the ones in elvish and stuff that you are just like "oh, that's pretty" to. Anyways, I looked at the site and they had the words for the song that is going on when Sam is holding Frodo and talking to him on Mt. Doom, and I was reading it and I just started crying. It was really pathetic, but it was so sweet! I love Sam and Frodo, they rock. *sigh* Yeah, there, I just needed to get that off my chest.
