I breathed in the cloying, choking smoke of the stick of incense I had lit a short while before and peered at the elaborate wooden altar, kneeling on the soft carpet before it. I began the long chanting prayer Zigûr had taught me. “Lord of Darkness, hear my plea…”

When I finished, pausing to regain my breath before I started the next chant, I glanced over my shoulder at the tall, smiling man standing at the back of the dimly lit room. I trusted Zigûr now, but I could not help but somehow feel that he was laughing at me.


Chapter End Notes

Zigûr is the Adûnaic name for Sauron.

I love drabbles because you have to go right to the point with them, and here you really show us what's at the heart of things. What could one say of this sort of thing? Finally forsaking all decency and morality to sacrifice to the lord of darkness, and this is what Pharazon is thinking... wow! This was absolutely powerful.
