Aearwen's Little Bits - Screams

[aearwen2]

Today's drabble offering:



The enraged, disbelieving scream of my Master made me turn and fly towards Orodruin, and my seven remaining companions had the same reaction. Something terrible was happening within the flaming mountain; we needed to get there before then.

But what? Mordor was, and always had been, impenetrable.

Then reality shifted. From the Master came a scream of rage that ripped the sanity from me; from the ground, the rumble of breaking stone echoed as the great tower toppled.

As I fell from the sky, I remembered my true name - and screamed my joy at being free again at last.

Wow! You know, I don't many people think to consider what the Ringwraiths were feeling at this moment in time - certainly Tolkein never covered it. It certainly is a very different perspective, and I liked it very much.

Looking forward to another drabble!

Hugs,

Thanks! It was a challenge to find new and different perspectives to explore with each drabble - and every once in a while, I came up with something truly out there like this one. Glad you liked it.

Love this! The last line is excellent.

Thanks! Vilya, Narya and Nenya weren't the only Rings of Power that died when Sauron was defeated. Folks kinda forget that the Nazgul were victims too. Glad you liked this.

Wow. I really like this; especially the hope that's implied at the end.
