Here we go. The questions from the last song chapter are going to be answered. What is Lord of the Rings without the One Ring? I felt like I needed to put the Ring in this story. Smeagol/Gollum has it now. If he was real, he will be so happy about this. Let's find out what will happen to Aragorn.;)
Chapter 40
Witch-King's Suicide
Aragorn was thinking of what to say the Witch-King of Angmar. Aria and Frodo were still on his mind, but the Witch-King was in his way at the moment. That was when he thought of something.
(Aragorn)
It's you Witch-King!
I knew you wouldn't wait too long
The faithful servant at his post once more!
This hobbit's done no wrong
And he's needs a healer's care.
(Witch-King)
I warned you I would not give in
I won't be swayed.
(Aragorn)
Another hour yet
And then I'm yours
And all our debts are paid.
(Witch-King)
The man of mercy
Comes again
And talks of justice.
(Aragorn)
Come, time is running short
Look down, Witch-King,
He's standing in his grave
Give way, Witch-King,
There is life to save.
Aragorn put Frodo on his shoulder and began to climb out of the caves of the mountains. When he was up and out, he heard the Witch-King say behind him.
(Witch-King)
Take him, Aragorn
Before I change my mind
I will be waiting
246021.
Aragorn gave the Witch-King a greatful look and went on his way. As for the Witch-King, he looked at his sword after Aragorn left with Frodo and threw it in the mountains. He began to walk all the way to the Iron Hills. He then began to think about everything that happened and what Aragorn did for him.
(Witch-King)
Who is this man?
What sort of devil is he
To have me caught in a trap
And choose to let me go free?
It was his hour at last
To put a seal on my fate
Wipe out the past
And wash me clean out off the slate!
All it would take
Was a flick of his dagger
Vengeance was his and he gave me back my life!
Damned if I'll live in debt of a thief
Damned if I'll yield at the end of the chase
I am the Law and the Law is not mocked
I'll spit the pity right back in his face
There is nothing on earth that we share
It is either Aragorn or Witch-King!
How can I allow this man
To hold dominion over me.
This desperate man whom I have hunted
He gave me my life. He gave me freedom.
I should have perished by his hand
It was his right
It was my right to die as well.
Instead, I live...but live in hell.
And my thoughts lay apart
Can this man be believed?
Shall his sins be forgiven?
Shall his crimes be reprieved?
And must I begin to doubt,
Who never doubted all those years?
My heart is stone and still it trembles
The world I have known is lost in shadow.
Is he from heaven or from hell?
And does he know
That, granting me my life today
This man has killed me even so?
I am reaching but I fall
And the stars are black and cold
As I stare into the void
Of a world that cannot hold.
I'll escape now from that world
From the world of Aragorn.
There is nowhere I can turn
There is no way to go on!
The Witch-King of Angmar threw himself off the highest hill of the Iron Hills and fell to his death. He hit the rocks below and if you were there you could hear the crack of bones hitting the rocks. He was found by one of the Dwarves of the Iron Hills who was nearby when he heard the cracking of bones. Everyone in Middle-Earth knew that the Witch-King of Angmar committed suicide in the night.
At the same time, the Witch-King's Suicide was at the same time when Javert committed suicide and for the same reason I hoped you enjoyed. I hope you'll have some tears for the next song chapter.
