The tower of Isengard stands fierce on the ground, his top flirting with the wind. Where first rows of trees were standing, now only smokes comes forth. The infernal killingmachine called Uruk'Hai were created at this...factorys.
The gate, normally open for everyone seeking council,, where now closed except when an regiment of Uruks need to pass trough.
This was the case now, and a group of Uruk'Hai came from the lands of Rohan, carrying someone. The group was small, much smaller then the group sent away, a few weeks ago. Everyone who looks carefull only a little bit, saw that the original leader was missing, and a one-eyed Uruk led the way to Orthanc.
About 75 mindslaves were left where 300 left. The massive gates of Isengard opens with a loud voice, and the group ran in, towards the entrance of the tower. While running as if dark hounds followed them, they screamed to other slaves where their leader was. They needed to show him a very precious victim of Isengards army.
In front of the tower, the leader commanded the other ones to drop their captured prey.
"Can we eat her now, boss?" a few Uruks asked, almost unable to leave her with their paws.
"No, I thought of a better use for her, we show her to our master, for maybe he will award us with lots of other flesh, enough for us all."
On the ground, a Half-Elf woman lay bound. She was spoiled with blood, her own or that of others. Eressa weared a golden plate armor, obvious surounded with an aura of good, just as her shield and sword, carried in a great bag by one of them Uruks.
"Let me go!! I will kill you all, CURSE you. and curse all of your offspring. I will not let you conquer Middle-Earth, nor let you help anyone else."
The Uruk'Hai heared the Half-Elf screaming and laught at her. "Pattatic Half-Elf, dont you understand that WE are the race of the future? The lives of the other races will be at the mercy of our beloved leader and creator, the great Saruman."
At calling the name of their master, all other Uruks lifted their weapon in the sky and began to yell the name over and over.

Saruman hearing the chants of his followers, rises from his throne and stands on the balconey high above them.
Saruman frowns as he sees they have a prisoner and neglected to bring the prisoner directly to him. Looking intently he sees its an elf.
"UNHAND HER!" Saruman bellows, the power of his voice striking the urukai like a blow to the chest. They slowly put the girl down, and one turns to speak to Saruman.
"My lord, I am sorry. We are hungry, and the flesh of the she-elf would be delicious."
Saruman frowns.
"Lay a hand on her and will be your last! I want you to leave her now!"
Saruman stares at the girl.
"I am sorry for their ways. They are not of my own. Please come into my tower. You look weary and hungry. "

Does he really think i trust him? Far from it. I think he's trying to decieve me, get me into his cursed tower and then capture me again to do some of his crazy expiriments om me.
"Wait!, Let the Orcs return, they have my posessions with them. I care about them."
She waits for the wizards voice galming trough Isengard, calling the Uruk'Hai back to return the bag with belongings to Eressa.
"Wizard, return it to me and i won't slaugther the bunch of Orcs, an very different way to get my stuff back.
They say you are wise, the wisest of all wizards. Prove your wisdom to me or you'll have a many Orcs less. With your wisdom you can know that i'm not weak."
Hmmmm...Did he call me an Elf? Blast him, first i want my stuff back. The proud of my race comes later.

Saruman smiles to the half-elf.
"Slaughter my orcs day and night. There will always be more. Orcs return her possesions to her!"
The Chief walks up to the girl disdainfuly and hands her a brown leather satchel and numerous other items.
Saruman smiles at the half elf.
"If I wanted to capture you....I would have done so already. Please come into my tower. It was a mistake for you to get captured in the first place. But since your here, a nice guest you will make."

"Fine for now. I will be your guest in your tower, but i warn you Saruman. You keep alot of secret words here in your fortress, but i have my secrets too.
If you are treating me as a hostile person, hostile i will be. The choise is up to you."
I must take care of myself. I may not believe his forked tongue in any way, for he will try to decieve me.
She grabs her belongings out of the bag, arms her self with her trusted sword and shield, as well as her golden helmet.
While walking after Saruman, she touches her wounds and find them painfull indeed. She wonders why she could have lost the battle. 300 Uruk'Hai against her with an royal group of Rohirrim. She should have won. Maybe this beings were under the power of some strange object...Nah. she shakes her head.
"So, tell me Saruman, what are you doing in this tower? What secrets are you trying to uncover, and why are you acting so hospitale against me?
And it wasn't a mistake to get captured by your foul breed. They were in the terrytory of Rohan, where they should never have come. The Rohirrim lost this battle though. We were overcome by crawling insects called Orcs, they were too many.
And don't try to tell me it was an accident or about the sweetness of Orcs, because they are far from good. Wherefor did they come in Rohan wizard?"
Eressa walks to the tower, before Saruman, and demands him to lead the way.

Saruman looks at the girl.
"Doing like the rest of middle earth. Preparing for war! This war shall reach me soon enough.....but no I wish to be left far out of this war. My urukai took you for they were looking for an elvish woman I seek out. You just happened to be the first they ran into." Saruman looks to the girl and stops.
"I can heal your wounds. Mental and physiacal. There are many things my lady, I could so for you. But alas, You are the guest."
Saruman and the girl turn a corner entering his throne room. Saruman sits down at the throne. A faint screech fills the air outside the tower. While the scream fills most with terror, Saruman only smiles.
"We have company............I didnt expect them to return."
Looking at the girls confused expression, saruman explains.
"The Nazgul! Leave them to me"

What? The Nazgul? They are Saurons most trusted and fearsome luitenants. What are they doing here? Maybe Saruman has something valueble in the eyes....erhmmm, Eye of Sauron. I need to find out why the Nazgul is here.
"What are they doing here Saruman? From where did they return? What task you gave them, if you are able to command them in the first place?"
Eressa is feared by the thought the Nazgul knows of her precence here. She must avoid all contact with the Nazgul for they are far stronger then everyone could think of.
"And about my wounds, they will heal over the coarse of time. They are not deadly, just minor. Mostly of the blood i carry on my body is the blood of Orcs and Rohirrim."
Eressa looks back from the window to the Wizard.
"But please tell me, Saruman. Where do you need an Elf for? I dont think he would fit in Isengards army..."

Saruman waves the girl to be silent and to stay behind him. Getting off the throne, Saruman grabs his staff and walks out on his balconey. The nazgul all gather at the base of tower, their fell beasts screeching in response to Sarumans appearence. The Lord Of The Nazgul, The Witch King, rises and looks up into Saruman's eyes.
"What buisness have ye hear, servants of Sauron? I thought I quenched your thirst for the whereabouts of the one ring. I know not where it is now. So if that is what this is about, then leave."
The witch king hesitated then turned. But stopped.
"Where is the she-elf?" At this the lord of the nazgul brought out his sword.
Saruman aims his staff at the nazgul. Focusing all of his energy, he sends out a white light that envelops the nazgul.
The fell beast roar in pain. They lift off and retreat from the tower.
"Saruman, if you are hiding her, we will be back!"
Saruman turns and re enters the throne chamber.
"Girl, you must leave at once. Go to rivendell they can not enter those lands. Nor could they enter lothlorien. You must now flee far from here and quickly!"

Eressa gulps.."Why did you protect me Saruman? Why did you lie about my precense here?
They abovious need me..but why? I'm an normal Half-Elf, except that im the Chosen One in the service of Good. You know the answer Saruman, tell me.
Why is it, that im so important? Both for your Orcs and the Nazgul of Mordor."
She walks close to Saruman, beware of any kind of danger. "You have answer that i need Saruman. Give them to me."

Saruman looks deep into the half-elf's eyes.
"They dont need you! They want you for their own dark purposes. I give you now an opertunity to flee while you can. They will tear you limb from limb otherwise. The choice is yours of course. So you decide. I can not decide for you."
Saruman turns to enter his study.
"Whatever your decision, make it before nightfall. They will be back at sunrise.........."

"No, I will not flee. I am an Champion of Good and will not be feared by any servants of evil. It is my duty to stay here and..."
Suddenly she hears a voice in her head, filling her thoughts.
Leave this place. While Saruman is evil, the Nazgul are no foes you can deal with. You have not been granted that power...yet.
Leave Orthhanc now, and return later to deal with the Wizard. He must pay for his treachery against Middle-Earth.
"Very well, i'll be going. I dont know where my quest lead me this moment, but i will return Saruman, to answer your betrayel against Middle-Earth!! "
Then she leaves the tower, walking to Rohan, where he mount would still be.
