    Summary

    He was silent for a moment. She heard his cloak rustle, the sound of his hand grasp one of the bars. The gentle tap of his rings against the metal filled her ears, and she shut her eyes.

    “When you denied an alliance with me, I found other means of quenching my thirst.”

    “For violence and depravity?” she shot back.

    “For vengeance,” he hissed. “Just as you sought yours. Keep your righteousness to yourself. I care not for it. These Men, these Númenóreans, fought against me in the Great War. Slew countless lives. With their pride and their arrogance in their mighty goodness. They thought they were better than the rest of us as you yourself believed you were better than me.” His voice dropped to a whisper. “I wanted to see them suffer. I have achieved so much more than that.”

    Written for an anonymous tumblr prompt: During Ar-Pharazôn’s rule of Númenor when Sauron holds the position of the High Priest of Melkor, Galadriel is captured in the middle of a war, imprisoned, and handed over to him as a sacrifice to be made in the Temple of the High Priest, but Sauron has other plans. From Akallabêth to the founding of Gondor, unlikely allies are forged.

    Summary

    Sauron is returned to Middle-earth - not as a Dark Lord, but as a man. Stripped of power, bound in flesh, and given one last chance.

    A weapon to wield, or a mistake waiting to happen.

    His warden? Galadriel.

    The past is not so easily severed. And the future? That remains unwritten.

    But the world is ending. And even the brightest light may have to embrace the shadow.
