Sorry for taking so long in updating and yes i know its sad about the orc dying in every format but it was either him or merry and pippin and no hobbit will be dying by my hand anyway enough talking lets continue…

"Escaped!?" Roared the furious white wizard as his calm demeanour turned into blistering fury that brought the orc bearing the news on his knees in fear. "How did they get out?!"

The orc trembled before steadying himself. "They escaped from the lower tunnels on the south side, they took the life of one of the officers also."

Saruman had calmed and raised a steady hand. "I care not for the officer, what troubles me is two of my fighting Uruk-Hai and a tark prisoner running loose along rohan, I do not wish to be visited by Theoden's riders demanding their own back."

"Well what do you propose we do master?" The orc replied as he finally overcame his fear of the wizard and stood up straight.

Saruman raised an eyebrow as he looked over to the snivelling orc. "You will do nothing else, you were the captain of that area of tunnels and you could've prevented their escape!"

The orc went back down to his knees. "But master we never expected an Uruk captain to make any plans of escape….."

"Which makes the volume of your failure even greater!."

"But sir, we did not have enough guards and it was late, too much was asked."

Saruman then started to look very annoyed. "Too much! If it wasn't for me you would still be crawling around the pits gagging for death, and here you stand in my tower and think it wise to tell me how oversee my guards!"

"No, I didn't…. I meant no offence…"

Saruman swiftly waved his hand in dismissal. "Your services to my cause will no longer be needed and you shall endure the error of your chosen path." He then clicked his fingers.

The orc trembled as two uruk guards took the screaming orc over to the balcony and threw him over the side, Saruman smiled in delight as the terrifying howl from the orc was silenced by the ground, he then turned to the orcs who had arrived with the captain.

"Let that be a warning, think twice before telling me that something cannot be done, now get back to the pits, there are still many uruks to tend to!"

The orcs hurried off quickly as Saruman rubbed his temples and sat down, he looked around to the palantir and decided that he needed Saurons council if he was to continue further, he needed the two traitors and the prisoner back here almost as badly as he wanted to one ring for himself, so as he waved his fingers over the marble seer stone, he hoped to find his answers….

It had been two days since Maugoth, Nurzum and Emlyn had found the two young hobbits and the uruk captain was relieved that Edoras would soon be in sight, although he had his doubts about walking to the one place in middle earth he would no see any closer than Isengard.

Maugoth then felt a stinging sensation inside his head, he heard a voice, two voices, they seemed annoyed, Maugoth at first ignored the pain as he walked alongside Emlyn, but then the voices came back.

"Traitors will be dealt with swiftly….."

Maugoth shook his head, then he began to feel weak as he could hear what the voices were saying.

"The Horselords will skewer you on sight, just like your former brothers will should they catch you….."

This voice sounded similar to the white wizards, it belonged to him! His influence on the uruk was painful, Maugoth saw that everyone had stopped to ask Maugoth how he fared, before sharku's voice uttered one more sentence before fading.

"You wont last long, they will come for you and bring you back, dead AND alive…."

"Maugoth?" Asked Nurzum. "Maugoth ok?"

The uruk stumbled up and balanced on Emlyn before gathering his strength and realising the danger they were all in.

"Run.. We must run, they havent given up."

Emlyn looked worried. "What do you mean?"

"Uruks! They have been sent for us, we must move Edoras is near."

Nurzum looked over to Merry and Pippen who had already started to move quickly alongside him and with Emlyns assistance soon Maugoth was running along the plains separating them from Edoras and the ravenous scouting party.

Maugoth had to take a second to sniff the air and see how close they were, his nostrils flared as he looked north. "Fuck! They aint far off, Their scent is close."

To the luck of the group, Edoras was finally in their sights, Emlyn had taken the lead so they wouldn't get cut down with arrows, Maugoth was still worried if Saruman could get into his mind then he wouldn't be safe, a big wooden gate and a few soldiers wouldn't be enough to hold them back should they attack, but for now he concentrated on looking as non threatening as possible as they reached the main gate of Edoras.

Emlyn looked up and shouted to the warden. "We seek counsel with king Theoden, kindly allow us passage."

The warden at the top of the gate, ran down the steps towards Gamling, who noted the wardens surprised look.

"Whats wrong Wilbyrn?"

"There is a party of five at the gate, asking for counsel with the king."

Gamling looked confused. "So why the surprised look?"

"Its is two hobbits, two Uruk-Hai and a woman of rohan, all unarmed."

Gamling sat down and pieced together everything his warden had told him. "I must see this with my own eyes first."

Emlyn and Maugoth had stood at the front of the group for the ten minutes they had been waiting until the gate opened and Gamling, followed by Wilbyrn and two other soldiers walked out and surveyed in shock what they saw, Gamling nearly fell over in shock at the sight of an Uruk holding hands with a human woman and two hobbits of the shire playing a game of riddles with another uruk.

"I… er…. what is going on?"

Wilbyrn looked surprised as did the other two soldiers who just stood agape, before realisation made them draw their swords, luckily Gamling had regained himself and held out his hand in dismissal.

"Not needed men, they are unarmed and this woman seems to be trusted by them, although I never thought I would see the day."

Emlyn chuckled as he walked up to Gamling. "I am sorry to land all of this onto you so quickly but we merely wish shelter, these two uruk's broke me out of the prison of Orthanc and we also rescued these two hobbits from an orc in fangorn, and we simply wish for a couple of nights rest."

Gamling nodded in reluctant approval. "Very well but these two must be guarded, and you must remain outside the golden hall until the king is ready."

Emlyn nodded and urged Maugoth and Nurzum to agree, although they disliked the idea of being under guard, and as they walked into Edoras, Maugoth looked behind him at the plains and noticed that the scent of the uruk band had disappeared completely, this was odd, but he was relieved that they were gone and that he escaped.

After Merry and Pippin were escorted to get something to eat, Maugoth and Emlyn started to talk to Gamling.

"Your lesser spoke of other visitors here." Asked Emlyn curiously.

Gamling nodded. "Yes an old man, an elf, a dwarf and a ranger."

Emlyn's eyes widened as she sat up and began to run up the slopes to the great hall, Gamling, Maugoth and Nurzum ran after her as she ran faster and faster, Maugoth was confused, why was she in such a hurry and how were the rohan guard able to keep up with him and watch him?

Nurzum panted, he then began to worry, why was he running, why was Emlyn running, soon his question was answered as Emlyn reached the doors of the golden hall.

Maugoth and Gamling caught up and caught their breath. "Emlyn what the fuck?! Why did you run all the way to the gates?"

Gamling took longer to catch his breath before uttering. "Do not go in please."

Emlyn seemingly unaffected by her run just smiled. "Why? I know who you mean by old man."

Gamling looked to Maugoth confused but as they exchanged weird glances the doors of the hall flew open and Gamling and Maugoth barely dodged the doors as a small man with a large black robe was thrown down the large flight of stairs.

Maugoth nearly toppled when he recognised the man who had been thrown out of the hall, swiftly followed by a rather angry looking Theoden, It was Sharku's lapdog Grima, what was that slimeball doing in rohan?

"I only lived to serve you my lord." Grima gasped as he crawled away.

Maugoth didn't get the rest of what was being said but he looked around for Nurzum and he had stood there on the other side of the door with his trademark confused look as Grima stood up quickly and pushed threw the crowd of people.

"Get out of my way!"

Theoden then looked around before noticing the two uruk-hai standing by the doors and soon everyone had forgotten Grima and were focusing on the two uruk's that had been standing there the whole time, Maugoth noticed the ranger with his hand on his sword so he moved behind Emlyn, as did Nurzum, Maugoth then leaned over to her ear.

"Do something for fucks sake, I don't want to be next!"

Emlyn just nodded as he noted a white cloaked figure walking from the hall, It was Gandlaf the grey! Well he was white now much to Emlyns surprise and the terror of Maugoth as he thought it was Saruman.

Emlyn walked in front of the wizard and bowed down. "Mithrandir, It is an honour."

Gandalf smiled as he waved for everyone to drop their weapons. "I sense you are here to explain these two."

He indicated the two uruks who were keeping their distance. "I also understand that you have two hobbits in your presence?"

Emlyn nodded. "They are having some luncheon while we went to visit the king, we didn't know he was busy."

"He had been under the power of Saruman by means of Grima and now he is gone Sarumans grip on Edoras has been lessened, but I believe you have a story of your own to tell?"

Emlyn smiled as the ranger, elf and dwarf ushered everyone away and they all went into the great hall to hear the story of the two uruks and the maiden of rohan…

I hope this was good enough, remember to have a peek at my other stories and to read and review, tell me what you think and any advice is welcome…..
