They had mounted thier horses and were off at a quick pace. Shade took them onto side roads and hidden trails. So close to Orthanc, Shade knew that to use the road would be folly. They rode on undetected straight into heart of Sauraman's territory. The Great Spike of Orthanc reared it ugly head, but Shade had seen it before and was unmoved, the others however reacted in their way. The two hobbits simply looked up in awe and possibly terror. Aranel looked on it with a hidden wisdom, searching it out for weakness. And Radae, Radae looked on it with intense hate. Shade could feel in coming off her like smoke off a burnt log. They hid in the forest outside the dark tower.
Shade-Alright, we've made it this far now don't go do anything stupid and get caught now. I can't help you through this, I have other business to attend to. My army in Mordor is losing hope of ever winning, they need me. Now I can only give you words of warning about Sarauman. He is cunning and will use words against you, He has far more power than he suggests, and he rarely has feelings of pity toward any enemy. Guard your selves well. Perhaps we will meet again under better circumstances.

Before he could hear any objections, Shade had ridden off toward Mordor. He pushed his horse to go as it would go. He made there incredibly quickly. The battle was going worse than he thought. The troops were ragged, many injured. Shade dismounted his horse and entered in to his tattered camp. He walked over to one of the tents and found two old friends. Jakeem and Dark One were standing over a table that had maps strewn all over it. Jakeem looked up and saw Shade. He went over and hugged him.
Jakeem-Your timing couldn't be better my friend, the men are in need of a leader.
Shade-I'm not so sure I am
Dark One-[dark language]You must be sure of yourself by now, take up your sword and true name, lead the men to victory.[Dark One brought forth a silver sword with red details engraved on it. Shade put out his hand to take it. With the sword firmly inhand Shade stepped over to the table and looked over the maps]
Shade-You've been going about this backwards, draw the orcs over here, then we can attack from behind. How many men left?
Jakeem-3000 maybe less.
Shade-Send word for help to Aragorn, he'll send an army. Til he comes we'll have to work with what we have.

Jakeem left quickly. Dark One put a hand on Shade's shoulder
DarkOne-You will be great leader...Alhuanion...

OoC-Hey if you all don't mind, I'd like to be the fill in for Sauraman[always had a soft spot for him] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
