Karissa looked around her office. Yaka could not be seen. A relief in Karissa's mind. Karissa was wasting enough time as it was. Surely, there had to be someone who she could count on in these dark times.

She sat down on her office chair, debating her next move. She looked up a wooden pedestal that came up off the floor. Sitting on top of the pedestal was the Fire Sphere. She smirked, wondering what newfound secrets she could uncover with it.

She sighed, hating the way her red bikini top and her red cloth were the only things keeping her clothed. Surely, this kind of outfit wasn't what anyone had in mind, but then… well, maybe she could adjust.

She chuckled, wondering if she could seduce anyone.

She observed the Fire Sphere, finding herself face to face with Marinus and Nimue's image, floating inside the sphere. No way! Nimue was only clothed in a light blue cloth going from the waist down! She was half-naked and didn't mind!

Karissa gave it some thought. Well, if that was how they were going to do it, then so be it.

Karissa tapped the Fire Sphere, wondering if Marinus and Nimue would chat with her. They didn't, leaving Karissa with only a few options: bring them to her or bring someone else to her. Someone who wasn't from Evermore? Yes, that would suffice!

Karissa looked at the worlds now engulfing the Universe. There were so many. And yet, she was drawn to Middle-earth. Oh yes! There was Frodo Baggins, but he wasn't in Middle-earth! Karissa snarled, thinking it was dangerous for such a weak hobbit to go poking around in places where he ought not to go.

The thought proceeded her mind. Oh yes! She had it now! Why not bring the hobbit to her? Prove his worth?! Alone? Yes, alone. Why else would she do this? If she seduced him, then all would be well.

A forgetfulness potion. Yes, that would prove right. That way, Frodo couldn't bear to think of anyone else, but Karissa.

Now, she had to think of what Frodo's identity. Hmm… well, if Yaka could make her forget everything about her past, then Karissa could make Frodo forget he was a hobbit. Yes, it all seemed perfect!

She had the identity for Frodo: a soldier. A newcomer amongst the Orcs. And his name… well, she gave him the name Baynor. That might be too much. Besides, did Karissa want Frodo transforming into a bear? Or a cat? Why yes, she did!

"Baynor it is!" Karissa spoke up, allowing the spell to take hold upon the hobbit. She would bring him to her, transform him into one of her Orcs. An Orc named Baynor was so funny, but so worthy it.

There! It's settled! The spell was complete, and a fiery spell at that. Frodo was ready. And now, Karissa saw him enter Evermore as a newborn Orc, with no recollection of his memories… except for her.

.

Marinus spoke to Nimue. "Tell me what did you do with your time here in Evermore? I didn't see you until now! You look so beautiful!"

"Well, I…" Nimue's words were cut off. A jet of lightning breached Evermore's surface. She recognized that sound. It was the same sound that sent the Wizards to Evermore.

Only Nimue knew it was different. Someone was entering Evermore. Someone new.

"Oh dear, someone's here. Someone new," Nimue said, gazing out at the window above the cave floor. "We must hurry. We have to find the other wizards! Go!" She dived into the water, heading straight to Gabriel's tower.
