Harry Verses the Balrog
Harry stood very still looking up at the Balrog. One wrong move could kill him. He slowly backed away from the monster. The monster roared and attacked. Harry dodged the fiery jaws and ran to the back of the Balrog for the door opening into a new chamber. This chamber was full of gold, jewels, and a gleaming sharp sword. Harry ran to the sword picked it up and turned to face the Balrog.
He had never fought with a sword before but before he could try to swing it a feeling came over him. He picked the sword up and took a stance against the Balrog. The Balrog entered the chamber and breathed plenty of fire. Harry dodged the fire and then ran at the monster with his sword. What happened next was a blur to Harry.
He dealt each blow to the monster like an experienced swordsman which he was not. He hacked and chopped and dodged until the Balrog stopped toying with him and started to fight dirty. It reeled back and hit him with everything it had. All that flame and fire and force would have killed a normal man, but Harry still got to his feet after it. He was stunningly unhurt. The sword was still in his hand.
Harry was confused. He was not a swordsman but he used a sword. He just survived a wall of fire, bone, and muscle that would have killed an ordinary man even a wizard at that. He then looked at the sword again but then he saw the ring on his right finger. The One ring was the source of his wisdom and power. Harry again looked at the Balrog who was reeling for another attack. Harry put his trust in the One Ring and knew what to do.
Harry held the sword straight out and took a running jump. He leapt straight at the Balrog and with the Ring's power flew with increasing speed at the Balrog. The sword in his hand struck the Balrog in the chest and went into its heart. The Balrog screamed and thrashed in its death throes. Then the fire that covered the Balrog grew silent and died.
Not many people saw a Balrog that wasn't smothered in its environment. Harry saw that the Balrog was a demon with the body of a Tyrannosaur and the head of a ram. He saw the One Ring in his hand and ran from the chamber of Gold and Jewels. Dobby had also told him the curse of the treasure in this room so he didn't take anything except the sword.
He went through the Gollum chamber and went to Gollum. He picked him up and carried him over his shoulders in a firemen's lift. Dobby had said that it was extremely important that Gollum join them. Harry carried Gollum and the sword out of the cave. He reached the door and opened it. Instead of the mountain road that led him up here he found a icy bridge and standing on the other side of the bridge was someone Dobby had warned him that he may encounter but Harry never paid any mind to it. Now he wished he had. Standing across from him in Wizard dueling stance was none other than Gandalf the White.
