Uruk-hai

Author's Note:

I don't own any of the characters, places, names, etc (only the OC). It all belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien and Peter Jackson.

At the Caverns below Isengard, Saruman, and Lurtz talk. Lurtz was the first of Saruman's Uruk-hai to be bred. With Ethir, gone, Lurtz became Saruman's second-in-command. He could probably be called the strongest, smartest, and most loyal of all of Saruman's Uruk-hai warriors. Saruman gazed at his first creation, overwhelmed by it. "They were Elves once. Taken by the Dark Powers, tortured and mutilated. A ruined and terrible form of life. And now perfected. My fighting Uruk-Hai. Whom do you serve? Saruman asked them.

"Saruman!" they answered with a frightened voice.

The white wizard addressed a crowd of two hundred fully armed Uruk-Hai, "Hunt them down. Do not stop until they are found. You do not know pain. You do not know fear. You will taste man's flesh. One of the Halflings carries something of great value bringing him to me alive and unspoiled. Bring me the woman too, alive... You can kill the others."

Lurtz led two hundred Uruk-Hai out of Isengard. They ran fast, their powerful legs carrying them at speed.

Meanwhile, the Fellowship crossed towards a great, roaring waterfall. They saw no sign of an enemy that day, nor the next. The dull gray hours passed without event. As the third day of their voyage wore on the lands changed slowly. The trees thinned and then failed altogether. Upon the west to their right, the land was treeless also, but it was flat, and in many places green with wide plains of grass.

The group of nine decided to camp. They leaped out of the boats and clambered onto the wooded shore.

Aragorn paused as he gazed at them, he said "We'll cross the lake at nightfall. Hide the boats and continue on foot. We approach Mordor from the north."

Gimli responded "Oh, Yes! An impassable labyrinth of razor-sharp rocks! And after that, it gets even better! Festering, stinking marshlands, far as the eye can see!"

Pippin glanced at Gimli and then at Ethir worried. Ethir shock her head telling him not to worry and that they would be fine.

"That is our road. I suggest you take some rest and recover your strength, Master Dwarf." Aragorn verified Gimli's words, causing Pippin and Merry to worry more.

Gimli mumbled a few words, while Legolas got closer and whispered at Aragorn "We should leave now."

Aragorn refused "No. Orcs patrol the eastern shore. We must wait for the cover of darkness."

"It is not the eastern shore that worries me. A shadow and a threat have been growing in my mind. Something draws near, I can feel it." Legolas said with an eerie feeling surrounding him. He gazed over the dark pine woods, with a dark, brooding statue nestled among their needles.

Ethir cast a look at the Elf. She could also feel something was wrong. Though, she didn't say anything she was searching for her backpack. Like she needed something urgently, to find. She cursed at the knapsack until she found it. Then she stood up and walked deep into the woods. It seemed like every female, had to deal with her monthly problems. Thankfully, those lasted always 3 days, and the bleeding was very little. Though, the cramps were never easy to handle. It seemed the Elf maiden, had given her some herbs that would help. Also a pair of special undies.

"No dwarf needs to recover strength! Pay no heed to that, young Hobbit." Gimli added.

It seemed that only, then Merry noted that Frodo was missing "Where's Frodo?" he asked loudly.
