*********HARAD/UMBAR*********
King Herumir sat in his private quarters, deep in thought. He knew soon enough Urken would receive the message. He and Fuinur planned to depart early the next morning and head for the place they had promised to meet him.
Though meeting Urken seemed safer than to attack, Herumir was still wary. He planned to bring along ten other men for protection. Once he and Fuinur have met Urken and felt trustworthy of him, Herumir would release the men. Then he, Fuinur, and Urken would travel alone with perhaps Fuinur's servant, Seth. If this plan worked, they would hopefully reach Gondor within a short time.
A knock on the door interrupted King Herumir's thoughts. He got up and opened it and found Seth standing there, his face grim.
"King Fuinur wishes to speak with you," he said, his hands motioning behind him.
