Sounds like Sam - the 2 people being Frodo and Rosie. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is how they didn't see his pain - Frodo at least saw, even if no one else did.

Aldarion, Erendis, and Uinen/THE SEA.

*headdesk* I haven't yet read their story, but from what I know it sounds right.

Well, it's been a while, and Mnemo didn't post a reply...

I am black, and Black I wield,
I fought Gold to protect gold.
I went out as a Lord of old
To be between Gold and gold as a shield.

Victorious was black, for Black never yields,
Or, at least, so black as told.

And hopefuly this riddle will require more than one guess to solve it! (

<-- for my previous two.

)

PS: please name everybody that was mentioned!

One of those is Morgoth (or Sauron). The gold bit could refer to...

*gapes* Of course! Turin! He himself is black and wields black sword! He went to kill Glaurung the Golden to protect his wife and sister, who had golden hair. It all fits perfectly!

So, my guess is Turin.

and again it's solved from the first try. Yes, black=Turin, gold=Nienor Niniel, Black=Black Sword aka Gurthang, and Gold=Glaurung the Golden. You didnt mention the Lord (=Azaghal), but I'll give it to you anyways.

Looking forward to your riddle!
