Chapter 15:

There are other ways into Mordor?

…

Just as Nividia grabbed the Dark Lord´s hand a black light came between their hands. Nividia pulled Sauron towards her and stabbed a knife in his black heart. "I wonder how many times I can kill you," she whispered into his ear. "I will not make sure that the world is going down because of me. I will never return to you, you made sure that the one I loved and I could never be together. Because of that, I do not love you." Sauron chuckled.

"You´re a bad liar, Nividia, you always have been," he said and then he vanished. Nividia looked at her knife, it was no blood on it and then she took it back to her belt. She looked to her right where she saw Orcs come; she changed and began running to find a way out of here.

Nividia took a deep breath of the free air. Every year that went pass she always hated the dark. Even for some time she was scared of the night. The Fellowship was not around but she saw where they went.

Lothlorien.

She was unsure if it was wise to go there now, to meet up with the rest of the Fellowship. A part of her wanted to go and find Gandalf, even she thought he might not be alive. But another part of her said she had to follow Frodo. But she also knew that Lady Galadriel is following her step, especially when something she just did have happened.

After three days passed Nividia looked out in the river. Three Elven boats had settle in on the other side of the river, just few hours ago. But now one was in the middle of the river with two Hobbits in it. She waited further higher on the hill the Hobbits had to climb.

"Frodo?" She asked carefully to both Hobbits. They all turned fast to her, surprised seeing her here.

"Nividia?" Sam asked. "Oh, how glad I am seeing you. We thought we had lost you to," he said. Nividia smiled to him.

"Where were you?" Frodo asked. Nividia was not sure what to say.

"I am afraid I had some things I needed to check on, but now I am here and I will still help, if you want me to," Nividia said. Sam looked at Frodo.

"Of course you can, Nividia," Frodo said and they all three continued walking up the hill. "We are going to Mordor alone, I hope the others will find a safer way," Frodo said when they got on top of it and they looked out at the landscape that was before them.

"Strider will look after them," Sam said. Frodo turned to both of them.

"Sam, Nividia, I am glad you two are with me," he said and walked first down the stony hill. It did not take long for them all three to be lost. The mist was laying low in the air, making no room to see anything. The stone hills went high above them as they actually tried finding the way out of there.

"Forgive me, Lady Nividia. But how can it be that you have lived so long and you never been here?" Samwise asked. Nividia chuckled.

"Well, it is a simple answer. I had no reasons to go here. I only ran across the fields of Gondor and Rohan," she said inside their heads. She did not take the chance of going in Elf form near Frodo again, so she stayed in tiger as long as she could. Maybe sometimes at the night she will leave them for an hour and stretch her Elf legs, not that she needed to, but for her it felt good. "But I can promise you that I can smell if it is any Orcs nearby, so you are safe for now." Frodo smiled at the discussion they had between them.

Nividia had yet again turned to Elf as soon as she got to away from the Ring. It was dark, the sky was clear and you could see the stars. Longer she went away from the Ring, freer she felt from it. It has grown heavy for her even in tiger. It is like the Ring knew about the deal she was supposed to make with Sauron before she stabbed him. Something screamed inside her and she fell on her knees, looking wide-eyed into nothing. She could remember things clear now, remember something that is not hers to remember. A life that is not hers. When she found out she have been way to long away she walked back in tiger form finding out Frodo and Sam are gone.

Nividia sniffed on the ground, smelling battle between three people. But the third one was not a Orc, Nazgûl or a Warg, nor was it human, but a small creature. She followed the traces of all three of them. Panic rose in her chest. She had a feeling it was all lost now. When the sun began shining over the landscape she saw the Hobbits running after a creature.

"See? See? I got you out," the creature said. Nividia came forth and growled at the creature making it hide behind one of the rocks.

"No, Nividia, wait!" Frodo said and got between them. Nividia looked at Frodo for explanations. "Nividia, this is Gollum. He is leading us to the Black Gate."

"I know the way to the Black Gate," she said to only they two.

"Not the last time we heard," the dark-haired Hobbit said. Nividia only sighed. "We need his help, or the enemy will find us." Nividia looked at Gollum and then at Sam. He did not like the creature, she saw it on him.

"Fine," she said. "Lead the way then, Gollum!" Gollum looked frighten at her and Frodo made sure she was trustworthy, that the tiger was the Hobbits friend. "It is not like we can get through the Black Gate of Mordor."

"What do you mean?" Sam asked.

"The Gate is guarded by Orcs, Trolls and Sauron himself, Sam. There are other ways in, I am just not sure where they are."

"There are other ways into Mordor?" Frodo whispered so Gollum would not hear so much.

"Yes," she said. "And if you want to whisper, think openly what you want to talk to me about and I will hear it. I do not remember those ways, but I will remember it. So we can at least go the Black Gate as you wished for Frodo." Frodo nodded, not sure what to believe, why she say this now and not before.
