SAURON’S HOPE

Sauron screamed in fury as the Ring melted into the lava from which it had been made. Then he screamed in pain as his physical being began to dissolve. He felt himself shrinking, felt the power leave him, felt the Ring disappear.

He watched powerlessly as his fortress was razed and all he built died or fled. He was little more than a dark cloud by the end of the day.

But he still existed.

In existence he found hope. His Master would come again. He would be restored and darkness would fall on all these piteous creatures once more.
