Chapter 4: Peace or War?
MorgothII: I'm back!
Diluvium: Took you long enough.
M (giving D the evil eye): Do you want to end up like that shotgun merc from The Last Stand?
D (frightened): No, no, no. Just please go on to the story.
M (rolling his eyes): I thought so. Anyway, here's my fourth chapter and please R&R. Enjoy!
A.N. In this timeline the siege of the Lonely Mountain is still being maintained and Dol Guldur is still under siege because Galadriel has retreated to protect her ring of power.
Finally, it was the time to hear the answer. Diluvium had sent out two Nazgul out earlier. One of them was to lead the army at Erebor and keep the foolish dwarves and men there bottled up. The Nazgul also brought much of the 'Fire of Orthanc' with it so that it would also fall quicker. The other was sent to his stronghold of Dol Guldur to retake command of his army there. As long as these threats were kept to a minimum, the people of Minas Tirith are all alone.
A knock at the door to his huge and dimly lit quarters brings Diluvium's musings to an end. "Enter," commands he. His second in command bows and enters. "We are ready master." Diluvium nods at that and says, "Good. Have our force begin to march full speed. I want to conquer Gondor quickly." At this the Nazgul bows and exits his quarters.
"It is time, my faithful servant," he says. In response to that, a deep, ancient growl emanates from one of the dark corners. Something moves in the shadows. Something that was thought of as a myth.
The next day, in front of Minas Tirith
An army as big, if not bigger than, as the one that marched on Minas Tirith before had formed up in front of the many walled fortress. Catapults, siege towers, ladders, even a second battering ram much akin to Grond, all were present and more. Many legions of uruks and orcs stood in formation. Olog-hai stood near the siege equipment or stood in full plate armor and wielding either swords, spiked clubs, or war hammers. Men of Rhun were in their phalanxes, while the men of Harad were in their mighty Mumakil. In the air where 7 fell winged beasts. Astride them sat the Nazgul and the lord of this fell army, Diluvium.
The winged beast carrying the armored warlord landed on the ground at the head of his army. In a clear and commanding voice he shouted to those inside the castle, "'King Aragorn! Time is up and I have come! What is your choice, destruction or alliance? Answer it now!"
At this Aragorn appeared over the gateway and the makeshift barricade of the front gate. In an almost equally commanding voice he shouts back, "We have thought of you question. Our answer is this: No!" To this, Diluvium smiles, though Aragorn is too far away to see it. He then replies, "So be it! War it is!" To his army he says, "Begin our assault! My loyal servant, come out and show yourself!"
With these words darkness falls upon the earth. A large cloud of shadows appears near the defiant warlord. Many start to see movement within it. Suddenly, the shadows dissipate. In its place stands a creature of fire and shadows. In one hand it wields a fiery sword. In its left a many thronged whip of flames. Tall it stands, with wings, horns heading towards the back of the head in a slightly crooked manner. A balrog of Melkor stood forth; ready to serve its master, Diluvium.
MorgothII: Surprised you there did I not?
Diluvium: Sweet! All I need now are dragons and I am all set to conquer all!
M: Maybe later. Anyways I hope you are enjoying this and as always please R&R.
