Chapter 1 - Eradication


The blackened earth cracked beneath my feet and I could feel every bone in my body hum with the force of it. Afterwards, as I watched Barad-dûr I wondered how it made no noise. Only it did. I felt it in the infinite space between each heartbeat when I thought the next beat wouldn’t come. Heat, great and terrible burned the clothes off my body and started on my skin. I turn, too fast, in time to mark the second I was engulfed by the dying breath of the mountain. Only fitting, I thought, that he’d take us with him.
