CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE The Fall of Asron
As Delenn, Delenn II, Delenn III, Delenn David Mir and Senna finally crest at the top of the mountain, they look straight down into Khazad'dum onto the dark Tower of Khazad'dum, the Tower of Asron. When Delenn first arrived on K'ha'dum in her last life they only made it as far to Ashy Path called "Gulshu Ashi," or known as Shadow Void in Black Speech. Everything has a name in Black Speech, it is the mother-language here at Khazad'dum. As the other prophecy looks at the volcanic landscape they wonder how to survive in the sulfur rich environment. As Senna looks at the floor of Khazad'dum he sees no armies, where's the Soldiers of Darkness, where are orc's? As Senna looks at Delenn, Delenn looks slowly at the ground, but as she looks at Senna again, she smiles. "Ready to go to war, to victory?"
Senna looks at Delenn. "To death?" Says Senna sadly, tired of the trek up the mountain.
Delenn looks at Senna, Delenn II, Delenn III, and Delenn David Mir, she sees hope failing from them, as she looks at Delenn David Mir, she lowers her eyes, she does not want to die in the Khazad'dum Mountain. As Delenn looks at Delenn II, she looks at her sister hoping not to answer her mothers questions. As Delenn looks at Delenn III, Delenn III is the only one who looks at Delenn directly in the eye. "I want to say this is our main point, our world was slaughtered by Asron's armies, he is guilty of mass universal slaughter. We owe our people justice, not vengeance, for vengeance will only lead us to death." Delenn III looks down at Barad'dur. "Let's take our justices, if not for justices, then to help Bri, he is the one who will need the true help!"
At Minas Morgul, Mira and the other eight Nazgul are on the Fall Beast, the time to take off is now. As Smaug and the other Fall Beast take their riders up high in the air, Mira looks around Minas Morgul. As Smaug lands on the walls of Minas Morgul, so does the other eight. As Bri puts on his helmet given by the Witch-King, he takes the harness to grip Smaug. "Fly to Barad'dur, fly to your vengeance, kill all the enemy." Says Mira in a harsh voice made harsher by the enchanted armor.
Akhorahil looks at his beloved master, "what about Lord Anubis?" Says Akhorahil who is getting use to his magical eyes.
Mira becomes more comfortable on Smaug. "Leave him to me...I will crush him!" Say Mira in a harsh whisper. Smaug stands ready to go to war, he loves war, but to fly to Barad'dur with the awaited prophecy is better. As Mira looks at the other eight he speaks once again. "Go to war Smaug the Magnificent!" Smaug gives out a low roar, as the Witch-King holds on. Smaug jumps off the roof and falls to the ground, but does not hit, his giant wings carry him up as he rises back up into the sky. As the Witch-King is up, so is the other eight who follow behind the Witch-King of Angmar. Behind Mira is Ren, Akhorahil, Adunaphel, Khamul, Dwar, Hoarmurath and Uvatha. Together they come. Mira and Ren chant the first two words to a deadly chant. The other seven join in. "Ne habitham Maganane, Ne tabdam daurad. Ne pan ned abarat--aglar. Ido Nidir nenakham. Bari n Katharad!" We deny our maker, we cling to the darkness. We grasp to ourselves--power and glory. Now we come, the Nine. Lords of Eternal Life! As the words echo throughout the canyon, the sound of the beating of wings are the only other sounds. As the nine fly into the view of the Barad'dur, one of the Nazgul are shot down by the Soldiers of Darkness. It is Uvatha the Messenger, as Uvatha crashes, Khamul and the Witch-King of Angmar flies down to assist Uvatha , as the armies of Lord Anubis go to attack the Soldiers of Darkness. As Lord Anubis' army surround Uvatha, Khamul is almost shot down and he has to pull up, but Mira does not, with Smaug going straight towards Uvatha, Smaug plows into the Soldiers of Darkness and pulls back up, then goes again. As Uvatha looks at Smaug, Smaug goes back at the new wave of Soldiers of Darkness with fire. As Uvatha blocks his face from the Soldiers of Darkness are on Fire. As Mira looks down he speaks a phrase. The phrase is known as the End of all Things saying. The fire from Smaug is melting everything in sight. "Beneath the ground, swollen hot with anger. Earth rips asunder, black rain falls. Here at the end, the end of all things. The air is aflame. All the world is on fire!" As Mira ends his phrase, Smaug looks at the crisp Soldiers of Darkness. As Mira looks at Uvatha, Mira looks back to the Barad'dur." Lets go to Barad'dur Smaug!" Smaug pulls up and goes to Barad'dur. As most of the Nazgul make it to Barad'dur, Asron uses his ring to put a barrier around the Barad'dur, apparently Asron has other ideas. As Smaug heads to Barad'dur a wave of energy hits Smaug, Lord Anubis has sent out a shock wave out to hurt the Fall Beast, but Smaug is not phrased by it, but the wave is like being hit by a 100 pound wedge hammer. It throws Mira Sheridan off of Smaug's back. As Mira falls, his impact is broken by the magic of the ring of Angmar, as Mira catches his breath he arises an up to see Smaug is still in the air. As Mira looks around he notices that he is in mighty trouble. As Mira looks at the gigantic soldiers, he wears an Egyptian outfit, but the armor is of a king, he wears a cobra on his helmet, this must be Lord Anubis. As the jackal makes his charge he takes out a double sword and throws it at Mira. As Mira takes out the Sword of Angmar, he summons up the Flame of Angmar and the double edge sword blows up. As Lord Anubis makes his approach closer, he takes out his sword and shield, but Mira picks up his mace and holds his sword, the ball and mace is twice the size of Mira's body side. As Mira swings at Lord Anubis, he ducks the mace. As Witch-King swings at Lord Anubis this time Lord Anubis hits the ground but is not hit by the mace, as Lord Anubis hits the ground, but is not hit by the mace, as Lord Anubis arises again he ducks the mace third blow. As Lord Anubis stands up, he tries to strike at the Witch-King, but Mira sees this and throws down his mace on Lord Anubis sword and it shatters. As Lord Anubis picks up the broken shards, he looks at the Witch-King with hatred. As Mira tightens his fingers around Lord Anubis' throat, death is coming to him.
As Delenn, Delenn III, Delenn II, Delenn David Mir, and Senna arrives on the floor of Khazad'dum. As Delenn looks forward, a arrow flies by, an orc is trying to sniper them, Senna takes out a dagger and throws it at the orc, it is a direct hit. As Delenn and Senna runs to the cliff side, they see a deep lava flow heading from Mount Cerfire to Barad'dur. As Delenn II and Delenn III follows by Delenn David Mir come to Delenn, as they look at the lava, they wonder how they are going to cross this pit. As Delenn David Mir looks to Mount Cerfire he sees another bridge. As Delenn walks to the bridge, they see that it is all metal. Everything here is metal. As the prophecy crosses the bridge. As they move towards Barad'dur they see the eight lords are on the ground, their Fell Beast are dead. As Delenn watches the dead lords, she notices that the Nazgul are fighting the orcs and Soldiers of Darkness, Bri has succeeded, even though she does not see him, as she looks around she hears a deep roar. As the prophecy turns they see a reddish-black dragon...it is Smaug. Delenn looks in terror...could this be the dragon species Bri warned her about, is this Smaug the Magnificent? As Smaug goes over them. Delenn yells out. "My Lord Smaug, who do you serve?"
Smaug hearing his name makes a sharp turn and dives back towards Delenn. As he lands on a group of orc's with his tail he slashes them in half. As Smaug walks to Delenn, his eyes watch Delenn. "You called forth me halfling?" Smaug looks at Delenn, "Speak now!" An orc approaches and Smaug blows fire at him, the orc is dead.
As Delenn looks at Smaug, she finds it interesting to know that Smaug knew them as halfling. "I am Delenn, mother of David...I mean Senna, Delenn II, and Bri."
Smaug looks at the other halfling. "You knew the prophecy?" Says Smaug, his breath is hot and musty.
Delenn looks at Smaug, we all are part of the prophecy, but together we are one, the prophecy. My son Bri went into a cave at Almon Sul to seek a legend...have you've seen him?"
Smaug knows what Delenn is talking about. "You speak of Mirabilia?"
Delenn does not know the name. "I know no Mirabilia, but Bri also calls himself the Witch-King of Angmar, he was going to Minas Morgul to stop a massive tragically."
Smaug's blow out smoke, "I know who you speak of. A male child dressed in black, decorated in armor...he is called Mirabilia, or short for Mira, I lost him by Mount Cerfire...he is fighting the acclaimed Lord of the Soldiers of Darkness."
Delenn gasp. "Lord Anubis!" Whispers Bri. Smaug knows the name. As Delenn feels the ground shake, Delenn, Delenn II, Delenn III, and Delenn David Mir, Senna, and Smaug look towards Mount Cerfire, hundred of thousand of Soldiers of Darkness are marching towards them, there is to many of them to battle alone.
As Lord Anubis looks into the Witch-King darkness, Lord Anubis does not feel the curse on the Witch-King, somehow the Witch-King is not like what he remembers. As Mira tightens his fingers around Lord Anubis' throat. As the Witch-King looks at Lord Anubis, Mira remembers a saying. As he holds the dying lord, he want Lord Anubis to know why he died. "Dollost dir cuiol u-ar ar nin degil." You fool, no living man can kill me The grasp becomes tighter. "Die now!"
Lord Anubis feels his life passing from him. "If I die, so will you!"
Mira clenches tighter. "No...you will take back your army back to the underworld." Mira tightens harder, Lord Anubis' trachea is almost crush, Mira is having a hard time killing Lord Anubis, but Mira has to destroy the evil. As Lord Anubis falls dead, slipping from Mira's fingers. Mira looks at the dead lord, as a wave of energy blows away all the Soldier's of Darkness, the Soldiers of Darkness are defeated. As the Witch-King looks at Lord Anubis ring on the ground, he hears whispers from the ring. As Mira look about, the battle fields are empty. As Mira hears more whispers, he speaks another phrase, enchanted by the battle. "You will be borne away, beyond all darkness. Your flesh devoured, your shriveled mind left naked to the lidless eye. But still the Soldier of Darkness did not move." Mira picks up his cold steel sword. "Slender as a steel-blade, fair yet terrible." Mira without looking shoves his sword right into Lord Anubis' ring and it shatters. "Too late he knew, too late he saw, this was no man..." Mira removes his helmet, he has changed back into a female, something made the curse begin again, Mira believes it was caused by Lord Anubis. Mira looks forward holding the Sword of Angmar in her left hand and her helmet in her right hand. "He looks upon a woman!" Mira pulls her sword out of the ground and puts it in her holder. As Smaug lands nearby he looks around the fallen Soldier's of Darkness.
As Delenn is fighting the renegade Soldiers of Darkness, it would seem that they are all going to die. Being so close to the Barad'dur is suicidal, there are Soldiers of Darkness everywhere. As Delenn, Senna, Delenn II, Delenn III, and Delenn David Mir are fighting sword to sword, Delenn and Senna decide to head straight towards Barad'dur while Delenn II, Delenn III, and Delenn David Mir remain fighting the army of Soldiers of Darkness that they call S.O.D.'s, it is easier and quicker to communicate to one another by calling these beast SOD's. As Delenn and Senna clear away the slopes near Barad'dur there is a gigantic boom and as a wave grows the SOD's fall dead, someone has killed Lord Anubis. As Delenn, Senna, Delenn II, and Delenn III looks around, Senna notices that Delenn David Mir is injured.
As Senna goes to Delenn David Mir, he helps her. "Are you okay?"
Delenn David Mir looks at Senna she smiles. "Hello Senna, it seems we won."
Senna is soon joined with Delenn and the others. As Delenn looks at Senna she watches the wound heal in front of her eyes. As Delenn David Mir tries to stand up, she looks towards the Barad'dur. "Something is happening up there!" Says Delenn David Mir as she watches the clouds thicken around the top of the Barad'dur.
As Delenn watches the clouds thicken and slowly poor down the Barad'dur, Delenn looks at the Barad'dur in fear. "Run to Minas Morgul!" As Delenn, Senna, Delenn II, Delenn III, and Delenn David Mir goes running through the ashy plains. As they are running the prophecy is joined by the Nazgul. As all keep running, Delenn turns her head to look at the Barad'dur, the thick cloud is almost at the floor of the Barad'dur. As they run the green tower is in view.
As Smaug and Mira feels the wind blow then next being sucked backed towards the Barad'dur. As clouds surround the Barad'dur, Smaug looks at the Barad'dur and then back to Mira.
As Smaug goes to Mira he lowers himself. "Hurry get on my back now!"
Mira watches the Barad'dur unleashed. "What is that?" Says Mira referring to the cloud coming down from the heavens.
As Smaug flaps his wings he us able to take flight, as Smaug flies to Minas Morgul he answers Mira's question. "That is Asron's main weapon, it is called Vog, Asron spiritual messenger of metaphysics, if we are trapped in the cloud we will transform, evolve, but the transformation will make us look ugly, it is Black Speech!"
Mira looks at the black cloud, "Black Speech...Melkor!"
Smaug hears the ancient word. "You know Melkor?"
Mira watches the cloud, "Not in person, but in movie and book, I learned some Black Speech, if you counter Black Speech with Black Speech what will happen?"
Smaug thinks of the question." Like fire with fire, both will be canceled."
Mira thinks deeply. "I got it, lets get to Minas Morgul, once there we can use the enchantment to boast up the words when the Vog makes it here!" Smaug lets out o roar as they approach Minas Morgul, below them they see Delenn, Senna, Delenn II, Delenn III, and Delenn David Mir running to Minas Morgul, behind them are the Nazgul. As Mira looks towards the Barad'dur the cloud is now on the ground. As Minas Morgul is in view, Smaug lands on the wall and lets Mira jump off. As Mira and Smaug go to the doors, Smaug uses his mouth to open the heavy doors. Mira goes to the tower to put up a shield. As the door begins to open, Mira knows that if he creates a storm the two storms will destroy one another. As Mira calls forth the sorcery in the tower, the ground begins to shake and a loud rumble fills the canyon. Outside, Delenn, Senna, Delenn II, Delenn III, Delenn David Mir, Khamul, Akhorahil, Adunaphel, Uvatha, Ren, Indur, Hoarmurath, and Dwar are running to Minas Morgul. As Delenn sees the ground shakes they hear a rumble. As it gets louder, the thirteen stop wondering what is happening. As the sound goes quiet, they look nervously at Minas Morgul. As the sound dies away there is a gigantic explosion of greenish-blue light that looks white in the volcanic ash cloud. As the light boils the clouds, the eight Nazgul begin running again and seeing the Nazgul running to Minas Morgul, Delenn and seeing the Nazgul running to Minas Morgul, Delenn and the other four begin running again. As they all make it to the comfort of Minas Morgul, lightening is striking the peaks every few seconds. As they all catch their breaths, the Nazgul go to find Lord Witch-King to find out what to do next, but all they can find is Smaug, Mira has disappeared. Up on the roof Mira stands looking at the Black Speech coming. Back inside of Minas Morgul, Delenn and Adunaphelte look at Smaug. Delenn is worried about her child Mira, but Adunaphelte is scared sick of the nameless cloud. "What the hell is that cloud, it is unnatural!"
Smaug looks at Adunaphelte. "It is Dark Speech, the only way to defeat it is by speaking Dark Speech!"
Delenn looks at Adunaphelte, "Who knows Dark Speech?"
Adunaphelte looks at Smaug, "There is only one who knows...our Lord Witch-King, he learned Dark Speech!"
Back on the tower wall, Mira looks at the cloud only a few feet away and coming closer. As it comes in sight, Mira knows he has to speak Dark Speech. As Mira holds his sword in his left, both hands are now extended. As the cloud is only seconds away. Mira begins the cold chant which makes the entire place black. "Shre nazg golugranu kilminudu. Ombi knzddurbagu gundum-ishi. Nugu gurunkilu bard gurutu. Ash Burz-Durbagu burzum-ish Daghurz-ishi makha gulshu darula. Ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg threkatuluk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul Daghburz-ishi makha gulshu darulu." The cloud hits the city and does not harm him, the plan is working, but as Mira looks up, the magical shield is breaking, so Mira finishes the saying. "Gu-kibum kelkum-ishi, burzum-ishi. Akha-gum-ishi ashi gurum. Nubin sherkuk, rakhizinash, matizinashuk, matizin umbruk." As Mira finishes speaking the energy being released from the Tower of Sorcery is equal to the power from Minas Morgul. As the energy and cloud die away Mira has done it, but at a heavy cost. Speaking Black Speech is very unwise and the canceling powers have created a Black Breath to appear, it lingers all over Minas Morgul. As Mira turns to go back into Minas Morgul he hears a sound, a drum beating off in the distance, a horde of Black Numenorian's are marching towards Minas Morgul, there is drums off in the distance, low pounding like that of a dying heart, steady, but deep. The sound of the army is like listening to a chorus of growls, snorts, gurgling, roars, and heavy breathing, but to Mira's success, the Iron Teeth are shut, blocking the Black army from moving to the Morgul passage. As Mira turns around he falls down, tripped. As he falls to the ground, Mira has noticed that the Black Breath has hurt him. As Mira lifts himself he notices that the Black Breath has turned the surrounding metal to fluid, Mira is balancing on fluid, as Mira looks at himself, he notices that there are purplish-black veins under his epidermis. It is the Black Breath, as Mira looks at his hands he notices that their is purplish-black veins that makes her hand grey. As Mira tries to stand up, Mira is being killed by Black Breath, but Mira fights it and stands up. As he looks at his hands, the purplish-black veins have disappeared, he has beaten the Black Breath. As Mira looks at the army, he turns around and goes back inside, inside Mira finds Ren and Akhorahil waiting, they know it is not wise to go outside.
As Akhorahil goes up to Mira he is proud that Mira is able to counter Black Speech, but as Akhorahil sees that Mira is ill, Black Breath is still very close to Mira, this worries Akhorahil. "Are you all right my Lord?"
Mira looks at Mira, "I am fine Akhorahil, just ill." Mira thinks about a way to completely remove Black Speech. "Akhorahil I need you to do a task for me."
Akhorahil answers quickly, proud to serve his master. "What will you have me do you my lord?"
Mira looks at Akhorahil, "I need you to go and prepare to fight!"
Akhorahil interrupts Mira without thinking that he is questioning his beloved master. "I don't believe we are ready to fight the Barad'dur my Lord!"
Mira interrupts Akhorahil to take back the control of the conversation. "War is already here, Black Numenor's are outside of the Iron Teeth!" Says Mira with distress as he continues walking to find Delenn. "Do this Akhorahil, we don't have long!" Mira leaves Akhorahil to seek out Delenn.
Akhorahil and Ren go to find the other Nazgul. As Mira keeps looking for Delenn, he feels the Black Breath creeping closer. As Akhorahil finds Khamul, Dendra, and Hoarmurath, Akhorahil goes to Khamul. "Lord Khamul, the Witch-King has instructed me to gather arms, the battle comes to us."
Khamul looks at Akhorahil, "What battle comes to the Morgul veil?"
Akhorahil looks at Hoarmurath, "The Black Numenorian's have been summoned, the Black Breath has entered our lord, I worry for his life, but I went to see if there is an army. There is a legion of 5 thousand, an army from the Black Speech, they all have the words of Black Speech printed on their armor."
Khamul looks at Dendra Dwar, "Go get Ji Indur Dawndeath, Uvatha, and Adunaphel, tell them to prepare for battle, we go to war!"
As Mira finds Delenn, he sees that Adunaphel is with her, Adunaphel is the only female Nazgul to live here in Minas Morgul, she was one of the Queens of the Numenor's, but considered as a Black Numenorian due to her study in magic, a skill banned by Numenor before they were wiped out. As Adunaphel and Delenn looks at Mira, Mira is tired, the Black Breath is almost apond him. As Adunaphel looks at Mira is knows what ills him. As Delenn goes to his aide, Mira collapses and Adunaphel catches him, as Mira looks at Delenn, he gives her his final orders, "Satai Delenn, I've not totally respected you since I got here, I know I had a prophecy, but I also knew of its evil, I was mistaken." Delenn does not try to cry, Adunaphel looks at the Witch-King wondering how to save him with what magic she has, but Black Breath is a gas of necromancy, there is no real cure. "Delenn, there might be a way I will survive, but it might kill me though. The Black Breath is darken my vision, it is a tool of the Morgul veil, but you have a device that might stop the Black Breath."
Delenn looks at Mira, "What?"
Mira looks at Delenn, he does not know if it is her. "Triluminary, a device of light."
Delenn looks at Mira, but then separates two of her robes to reveal a secret pocket, it contains one of the triluminaries, Delenn does not remember putting it there, but as she pulls it out, she looks at it, the chip glimmers dimly in the green light of Minas Morgul. As she looks at Mira she takes Mira's left hand and lays it palm up and places Mira's right hand to his side. She then next spreads Mira's legs outward where he is now straight. She then takes off Mira's metal gloves and places them off on the side. Next she removes Mira's helmet and asks Adunaphel to help remove the black robes to expose his chest, the only clothing is a dark blue slack type pants. As Adunaphel looks at the Witch-King, he is not like what she remembers, as Adunaphel sees all the black veins. Adunaphel looks at Delenn. "Delenn, how do you know him?"
Delenn looks at Adunaphel the Queen of Numenor. "I knew him when he arrived on Minbar when he died on planet Earth."
Adunaphel looks at Mira, "What is Earth?"
Delenn looks at Adunaphel. "It was the homeworld of the Human's, the Witch-King you see here is actually known as Bri Delenn, but also called Bri. Bri is not the Witch-King, he is a messenger of the Witch-King, chosen to carry the ring. No, Bri actually is a Child of Delenn, but he is also a Child of Earth. Bri is actually a patient of a hospital on Earth they call Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in a city called Seattle."
Adunaphel looks at Mira, "Seattle, it must be a sea port?"
Delenn looks at Adunaphel, "I don't know, I've never been to Seattle."
Adunaphel looks at Delenn, "You stated a place, is a hospital a fortress?"
Delenn looks at Adunaphel strangely, "You must have never heard of hospitals before?" Adunaphel shakes her head. "A hospital is a building which holds sick and wounded, Bri was a patient with a genetic disorder called asthma."
Adunaphel looks at Mira. "Then this is not our Lord?"
Delenn looks up at Adunaphel, "No, no this is not the Witch-King you remember, Bri remembers more about the Witch-King." Adunaphel looks terribly confused. "Bri holds great powers, he is and is not the Witch-King." Delenn places the triluminary on Mira's left hand, nothing happens, so Delenn releases the triluminary from its holder, it falls into Mira's hand. As Mira's hand makes the triluminary chip glow, it begins to subduct into Mira's, as Delenn tries to pull it out, it is completely subducted. As Mira looks at Adunaphel, Adunaphel looks at Delenn then looks at Mira's hand, as they watch, the black veins melt away and Mira is revived. As Mira looks at Delenn and Adunaphel, he smiles. Delenn smiles back. "Welcome back."
Mira looks at Adunaphel. "Have Khamul told you yet?"
"Told us what? Says Adunaphel who is trying not to misjudge this child.
Mira looks at Adunaphel with much concern. "The Black Numenorian's are marching towards Minas Morgul...they came out of the cloud, there is thousands of them. They will be here if the Iron Teeth fail!"
Delenn does not know what are the Iron Teeth are. "Ah...what are Iron Teeth?"
Adunaphel looks at Delenn. "It is more like what is Iron Teeth?" Delenn looks blunt at Adunaphel request. "Iron Teeth are a second gate into Khazad'dum, break through it and you can venture into Khazad'dum unchallenged until you come to the cross roads. The Iron Teeth were open when we came through, someone must have closed them!"
Delenn thinks to herself, but then speaks with questions. "Who would close them?" Delenn does not clearly understand why one of Asron's army legions would betray him, but answers are only half of her troubles.
Adunaphel thinks of the question, "Well if an orc was trying to trap us, they succeeded, only the gate of Forth Eorlingas is our only way out. Another way, Black Speech, Bri might have closed the gates...but whatever it is, we have new problems." Adunaphel looks at Mira as he gets his strength back. "Come with me my Lord, you are needed at the battle front..." Adunaphel looks at Mira straight in the eyes. "I still trust you, but if you go to battle, you must leave behind your charisma and hold the true power to fight Black Numenorian's!"
Mira stands up. "I will join you...join you at the Iron Teeth, we will pile the enemy there!" Mira looks at his left hand which is sore. "Adunaphel go get ready, then go gather the others at the Morgul gates, I will be there!" Adunaphel nods and leaves Mira. Mira looks at Delenn. "Thank you Delenn, thank you for your help. For one moment their I thought I was dead!"
Delenn nods her head. "You're welcome Bri, but I believe I may have just caused you more pain."
Mira nods, "Well it will be better then being dead!" Mira thinks for a second. "I should tell you Delenn that my name has been changed, Smaug says that I am the prophecy he has been waiting for, he calls me Mila, so I choose to remain that way."
Delenn nods her head. "I understand, you better get ready Mire, they will need you?"
Mira nods, "Will you go to war?" says Mira quietly.
Delenn walks to Mira and she smiles. "I will be their, war will come to us soon."
Mira picks up his gloves and puts them on his hand, and slips back into the black cloaks, as he drapes them over his face, Mira picks up the frightful helmet and puts it on. As Mira looks at Delenn, Delenn slips into armor, both draped in black cloth and black metal. As Mira un-sheathes his sword he looks at it and then puts it back into his sheath. "Lets go!" Mira and Delenn joins the others at the Morgul gates. Mira goes to the doors and looks at the 14 person army. "You've been used and misguided. Asron has rid this universe of all life. If he survives he will destroy the next universe quicker. But we can end it now...not for 100 years, not for a million years, but forever...to battle...to victory!"
The Morgul doors open and there is 13 black horses, Smaug looks at the 14 people. "I bring steed to help you," Smaug goes to Mira. "My place is with you Mira!"
Mira smiles, "Thank you Smaug. Lets go to the end of all things!" Mira climbs up onto Smaug, as the rest mount horses. As they ride to the Iron Teeth, everyone is nervous that death is so close to them!
