8. One Ring to Rule Them All (1/2)

chapter 8: one ring to rule them all

shadow's minions were everywhere out of the city. just as when sauron had been trying to take control, they couldn't go anywhere without being attacked. the dark lord's influence was covering middle-earth.

"sha...the dark lord's this powerful?" shadic asked. "how are we supposed to beat him?"

"we are not sure," gandalf said.

"we'll think of something when we get there." he tried to sound enthusiastic.

sonic and gandalf nodded, and continued on. it took them a few months, as gandalf had said. once they got to angband, they looked around.

"certainly looks like a place of darkness," shadic muttered. "how are we going to get in?"

sonic thought about it. she closed his eyes and transformed into a nazgul. shadic backed away, startled.

"it's fine," sonic said. "i'm still myself. here's the plan..."

shadic was nervous. sonic knew what she was doing, he didn't doubt that. but he couldn't help it. once sonic explained the plan, they nodded and went inside. shadic looked around as sonic lead them through the halls. soon, they came to a room that was filled with orcs and other fell creatures. shadic looked at his mother, wondering what to do next.

"what do we do now?" he whispered.

sonic thought about it and transformed back to normal, looking at her son. "i shall transform into the one ring; it will make you invisible. you can wear me on your finger."

shadic nodded but gandalf spoke up. "are you certain that will work? he is a dark lord. he may be able to see him."

"the one ring only worked with sauron," sonic told the wizard. "shadow doesn't have it anyway; we destroyed the ring."

gandalf looked uncertain still. "you're certain it will work the way it's intended?"

sonic sighed. "it wouldn't hurt to try, but..."

shadic looked at his mother and nodded.

"i'll watch out for danger," he said. "where am i supposed to go?"
