Death of Arathorn

It was the 2933rd year of the Third Age. Arathorn was headed north into Angmar to do some scouting and recon of the Orc forces there, accompanied by a few Dúnedain Rangers. He left his brother in charge of the Rangers and the rule of Eriador. Arathorn had to stop though for the air was cold frigid, and night was coming. He began to set up camp, once he was done, he and the rangers rested. What they not know was that they were being watched, watched by a horde of Orcs. Once dusk was arriving and the Rangers began to sleep the attack began.

The Orcs came down upon the Rangers, Arathorn's company was severely outnumbered. The Orcs slaughtered them all in a matter of minutes, all except one. Arathorn fought on, eliminating numerous Orcs, he attracted the attention of the Orc Captain, Huglush. Huglush ordered the lesser Orcs to stop attacking and to instead encircle Arathorn. Once the circle was complete, Huglush stepped in, wearing heavy chainmail and wielding a heavy spear with a heavy axe on his back.

Arathorn, with his plate armor and his shield and sword, awaited the Orc challenger. He held his shield high, for Huglush was tall, and prepared his sword. Huglush smiled and struck at Arathorn's shield with his spear. The blow glanced off the shield, exposing Huglush's arm and allowing Arathorn to slash at Huglush. The attack sliced a part of the Orc's arm, causing the Orc to scream in pain. Huglush was unphased, however, simply jumping back to give space for another attack.

This time the Orc used the same attack as before but he was prepared. Huglush rolled with the glancing blow, allowing him to roll behind Arathorn and deliver a decisive blow to the Ranger's back. Arathorn fell to the ground, trying to turn to face Huglush unsuccessfully. Seeing his chance Huglush speared Arathorn in the chest from behind. Arathorn doubled over in pain, but he still drew breath. He summoned the strength to look at Huglush, who had already drawn his axe. Arathorn realizing his fate, bowed his head and prepared for the strike that was to come. Huglush then brought down the axe on Arathorn's head, severing it from his body. The Orc captain then grabbed the fallen warrior's head and raised it for all to see. There were many cheers by the Orcs that night.

The Murder of Denethor

The year was 2934 of the Third Age, Denethor was celebrating the expanse of the Gondorian Kingdom in his hall and had invited numerous guests for a great feast. Even the guards were to enjoy themselves, it was as if the Steward had forgotten the worries of the world. He continued eating, drinking, and partying until one of the guards said "What of the Haradims in the South, sir?" Denethor looked at the guard and laughed, some of the food in his mouth sputtering out. "Those uncivilized bastards? What of them?" he asked still filling his mouth with more drink and food. The guard smiled uneasily "I heard they were moving closer to our lands" he said as Denethor smiled and yelled out "LET THEM COME, THEY WILL FALL TO MY BLADE!" at that moment he grabbed his sword and swung it like a wild man, the guests cheering.

"No you will fall to ours" a shadow said, and immediately the feast fell silent. Denethor's eyes glimmered in slight fear "Who said that?" he asked, his voice a little shaky and afraid, he held his sword tight in his grip. He saw the fearful eyes of his guests and thus he had renewed courage and spoke out again "COME OUT HERE SO I CAN SLIT YOUR THROATS!" At that exact moment you could hear the whiz of arrows as the guards fell dead, arrows lodged in their throats. Immediately two more arrows followed, landing on Denethor's clothes and pinning him to the chair he was sitting in. All the guests fled and out of the shadows came two men in Haradim garb. The one who appeared to be the leader drew his bow back once more and fired one last arrow into the Steward's chest. The arrow was enchanted for as soon as it landed, Denethor's skin began to disappear and all flesh was gone in a matter of seconds. He was a mere skeleton now as the leader put a note in the Steward's hands. The note said that the Haradim will have their revenge and with that the pair disappeared.
