Chapter 1 - A/N Notes. (I know, they are backwards. Deal with it!)

I did ask the good Professor if he minded my tweaking his story a bit. Since he did not state any objection, I take it as an okay. I did not ask the estate, as they are all alive and I know I would have heard from them!

I know that there will be those who will cry foul; however, the subject is left open to interpretation, and so I interpreted it. Any outcries should be directed at the suggester of the challenge. And, as all know that I have taken irreverent bends before, you are warned.
Read with care.


Chapter 2 - The End Of The Beginning

Armies gathered on the field, waiting. Rushing at the signal, they commenced the battle.

All was lost, until one man picked up the king’s sword. Swinging mightily at the charging Sauron, Isildur swung, removing the evil one’s fingers.

Picking up the ring, he ran to the pit, urged on by Elrond.

“Throw it in, Isildur!” Elrond shouted.

“I can use this for the betterment of Arda!” he replied.

Moving suddenly, Elrond tackled Isildur, knocking him into the pit.

The sun came out and birds sang. Thus was all of Arda saved. And, there was no need for two more books.
