Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings. All rights go to J.R.R. Tolkien. Also before I start writing, this is NOT A PLAGARIZED VERSION OF SKYLEAFALCHEMIST19'S "ALL THAT REMAINS"! I have already PM her prior to me posting this.

Note- There is a time-skip in this chapter. I didn't really feel like writing a kid Esgal. There might be some flashbacks in future chapter of his training, though. I just wanted to get to the main plot of the story. Hope you like.

Chapter Four

The following years after were tough on Esgal, the elf that had appeared on Arda through a flash of light. With a help of a stone- to which this day, Esgal still had in his possession.

Although, he didn't show his inner struggle to his Master. Showing it would be considered a great weakness, and a weakness that wasn't ever good while surrounded by the many creatures of the dark.

He had since then learned to hold in his light. As a matter of fact- it was one of the first things Sauron, his master, had taught him- for where was the reason in having a creature of light surrounded by nothing but darkness? He was an elf. One who was raised and trained by the Dark Lord's Commander, Sauron. No one dared to come within his path, as his name was barely spoken- for fear of grabbing the attention of the person that was under their Lord's Commander's control.

Those who did- well, they didn't live.

Orcs, and Hobgoblins walked the halls of the Dark Lord. Always standing guard at every corner, while Esgal would take lessons from the Dark Lord's Commander, Sauron. His Master, Esgal did not question- he simply obeyed. And had risen to the level of the Commander's apprentice in the short years he had been there. Hence- the way the creatures cringed from his presence alone.

Time had went by. For the passage of time to Esgal was infinite. Esgal didn't wonder, nor questioned the life he had been dealt. For he was raised to be a weapon, a shield, an assassin for his Master that ruled over the lands of Arda. There were many that would wish death upon his master, he had been trained under Sauron's tutelage to be the best in his field. To never fear the possibility of death.

He was a trained killer, responsible for the systematic elimination of his Lord's opposing figures. He was an assassin- where assassinating, an action involving murder of a high-profile target for more of political reasons than anything, had made Esgal completely different; devoid of any spark of emotion.

He was kneeling in-front of his Dark Lord. Many knew him by the name of Morgoth, or the Great Enemy, The Black Foe, and The Corruptor. To Esgal- he was Master simply put.

"Esgal." Morgoth, his master, who was nothing but shadows in spiked-armor spoke. Esgal's eyes remained on the floor, "Look up Esgal." Esgal glanced up- his eyes now betraying a red color- due to his light being restrained. For his total appearance had now changed- his light- platinum hair was no more, and in place was a darker blonde almost mixing to a brownish tint within his hair. With eyes as red as blood, instead of a light that resembled starlight.

"I have a job for you, and only for you alone." Morgoth started, Esgal curtly nodded. Signaling to Morgoth that his attention was his.

"What is it my Lord wishes?" Esgal questioned back- keeping his eyes away from his Lord's gaze.

"I want you to assassinate Finwe, the High King of the Noldor." His dark, ominous voice spoke.

"Of course, my Lord. It will be my greatest pleasure." Esgal expressed.

"Then you will take your leave immediately." Esgal nodded, and bowed in respect. Taking his leave back to his room.

Packing whatever he may need for the long journey ahead.
