2043
They came to fortress of Adunzhil, north of Mordor. His family once ruled the southwestern part of Numenor. However, they left and settled down on the great fields of Middle Earth. They took their knowledge of producing wine with them, and the realm quickly became famous and rich.
However, the fortress lay in ruins when they arrived. Corpses lay spread around, some missing their heads.
Hoarmurath said; "I am not the only one among men to have lost power recently."
As they moves around in the rubble, the found an old maid that had survived.
She said; "They killed all the men, and they cut of the heads of the noblemen and took them. They also killed many of the women, other they let live and left behind with the children. The daughter of Adunzhil put up a fight. She killed several of them, but they overpowered her and took her with them. When they were gone, most of the survivors headed northwest, as there is a small settlement there. But I could not join them, as I am old and my legs are tired."
Sauron grab the woman; "Tell me about the daughter."
The old woman was very afraid of Sauron; "Adunaphel is his firstborn, as strong as her brothers. You can see she is from the Seapeople."
Sauron left her. She cried out to his companions; "Please help me! I have no place to go."
Khamul showed no emotions; "then die;" he said.
"Do you know what direction they have taken?" Murazor asked Sauron.
Sauron answered; "West, towards the great river and the Numenorean tower. To delivers their heads, but they will be disappointed as it is still on your shoulders, Murazor! They will avoid settlements to remain unnoticed. They have a three weeks start, but we move a lot faster riding day and night."
Adunaphel was bound to a tree. She was sitting, sleeping. The tent of the chief was raised around the tree. Adunaphel was awoken by some strange noise and short screams outside. She knew immediately that something was wrong and stood up. Sauron entered the tent. He walked directly to Adunaphel, so his face wee only inches from her. She saw in him a man of great power, but she pulled herself together and looked back.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"I am he, who have resisted the Seapeople ever since they came here;" Sauron answered.
Adunaphel tried to understand. Outside the noise became louder and it was clear that people were killed.
"Have you come to kill me?" Adunaphel asked.
"No!" Said Sauron; "I am here to set you free."
"I want to kill them all!" Adunaphel said.
Murazor and Akhorahil entered the room. Murazor held up the severed head of the chief.
"Too late;" Sauron said; "But you will see more action, as you as destined to live on, where other die."."
He held forward a ring; "Join us;" he said.
Adunaphel looked at the ring still bound to the tree.
"I cannot;" she said; "The man you just killed committed many crimes among them creating my unborn child. I prefer death to give birth to his bastard child."
Sauron placed the ring on her finger and put his hand on her stomach.
Murazor and Akhorahil looked at each other not knowing what would happen. Suddenly Adunaphel screamed in pain. Sauron went on the other side of the tree and untied the knots she was bound with. On the ground beneath her, was a lot of blood.
Adunaphel did not speak when they left the destroyed camp. They had left no one alive, and the rumor of the two battles only reached the White Tower a year after.
