Disclaimer- I do not own Tolkien's characters, i just think of them every spare moment I have. And I kind of doomed myself when i said that i had a short list of candidates for this challenge.
She was alone and didn’t even see that. Who can defend her? Her brother was banished through my own geniuses, her uncle was controlled by Saruman. She was utterly alone.
And I, with my cunning devices, can lead her forth and seduce her. Finally, I could take her for myself. Too long I stared at her golden locks of hair, her slender figure.
Perhaps being Saruman’s servant was better than I thought. I was my own master of Rohan now.
I laughed out loud which I seldom did. Too many people had doubted me but here I am. In control.
