Cruelty (Mouth of Sauron)
"He delighted in their grief"
He made it his mission to prove to the mortals why, exactly, they had failed to defeat those they opposed. A shiny shirt, made by the dwarves, and a blade, made by the elves, taken from a spy was all it took. It disappointed him to see the wizard snatch them away with little emotion, but the small rat with them more than made up with it with his clear anguish, and the men, elf and dwarf with them failed to truly hide their feelings. Their sorrow was almost palpable and it energised him as he delighted in their grief.
Exactly 100 words. Thanks to Alex Hollister for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Cruelty, Mouth of Sauron, "He delighted in their grief"). No OCs please, but any other character, however obscure, is welcome.
Oh yeah, if anyone's interested I'm now accepting fic requests. More details are on my profile.
