Malina's POV
Screams jolted out of my fitful slumber. Scrambling out of the bed, I grabbed her robe as I hurried to the balcony.
"How can this be happening," I whispered shockingly.
Houses were engulfed in flames; elves could be seen running from the approaching army. The sound of swords clashing, bow strings singing cut through the screaming. Distantly I could hear the bellowing of an orc saying, "Find the white-haired elf! Find her!"
Hearing these words, I finally jolted out of my shock. I grasped at the necklace around my neck making sure it was still there. Hanging on the necklace was a mithril ring, in the middle was a sapphire shaped like a rose. The ring glittered with a mysterious light.
I dashed out of her chamber and hurried to the main room of the house.
"Mother! Father! Where are you-," I stopped suddenly.
It took me a few seconds to register what the scene in front of me was. Lying there on the floor was the great Lord and Lady of Eriador, my parents, dead. Standing over them was a dark figure it's back was facing me. In its hand was his sword… covered in blood.
"Mother… Father," I whispered, tears flying to my eyes.
The figure, hearing my voice, slowly turned toward me. On one of its fingers holding the sword was a golden ring. It was glowing red with the words that were inscribed on it.
"Sauron," I whispered with horror.
"I have finally found you. You have kept me waiting quite some time so I decided to punish you for keeping me waiting," Sauron crooned hauntingly.
I shivered that voice… that terrible voice was full of bloodlust. I grabbed the ring that hung around her neck.
He started to walk towards me I took a few steps back until my back hit the wall. Sauron reached his hand out to me when suddenly a bright glow came from my ring Ambar. It forced Sauron back and he went flying through the wall and into the blood covered street.
"What is that," he shouted at me. "What is that power coming from!"
I let go of my necklace revealing where the powerful light was coming from. My ring Ambar one of the most closely kept secrets in elven history was revealed to the one person that they deliberately kept from the dark crusader.
"I see… so that's it. You filthy elves created another ring in secret. One that I couldn't sense. Tell me when they forged that ring for you. So full of power… GIVE IT TO ME!" Sauron shouted as he leapt towards me with a maniac look in his eyes.
Light once again burst from Ambar, sending him flying again right back. Sauron slowly got up I could feel the rage and bloodlust radiating from him.
"It seems that blasted ring won't let me even touch you. So I guess I'll settle for this. Until I find away to tear that ring of your neck and make its power mine you will wander Middle Earth as a creature of this world, all your precious elf friends will believe you perished with your parents," Sauron growled at me.
The next words that came from his mouth were of the black language of Mordor. I grabbed my head as the pain from those words started. I felt black magic surrounding me, Ambar was glowing even brighter. The pain got worse and worse until I knew no more.
Pain was the first thing that registered in my mind as a slowly regained consciousness. Something felt different, something odd; I could smell the choking scent of burned wood, blood, and death. I slowly opened my eyes, something was defiantly wrong. My vision was dimmer than it was before, I started to get to my feet when I fell I looked down at my legs and was shocked by what I'd seen. There were four legs instead of two. I stumbled to my feet and stumbled to the pond that was nearby. I looked into the pond and was shocked beyond belief by what was reflected in the water. Looking back at me was a wolf, a wolf with pure white fur and sapphire eyes; they were the same color that my hair and eyes were.
This isn't happening… this just can't be happening. While I was trying to wrap my head around what was happening. Then suddenly my parent's faces flashed through my mind. On no, no, no, no, no I ran clumsily on my new paws to the ruins of the burned house. They were still there but know they were horribly disfigured by the fire that had burned my beloved house to the ground.
Whimpering I sat down on my butt heavily. Something made a noise from around my neck I peered down and saw that I was still wearing my necklace where my beloved Ambar hung from still present.
I remembered the last words that Sauron said to me. So this is what he meant. I wouldn't be able to tell anyone that I was still alive seeing how I was unable to talk. I could sense black magic engulfed around my new body. Thanks to this they would believe that I was one of Sauron's followers. I walked slowly to my parent's disfigured remains and threw back my head as I howled with sorrow that was radiating from here. I don't know how long I sat there until I finally started to get to my feet and walked towards the forest. I looked back at the town of my birth one last time. Then turned back to the trees and ran through the trees.
