TOLKIENIST AGAINST MARY-SUE

 

Disclaimer : I own nothing except Morgan and Vicky.

 

I am one of the few readers who both approve and reject Mary-sue. Very few authors are good at writing Mary-sue and striking the right balance between sugar-nausea and true stories. One day I asked myself what if a responsible tolkienist was against a Mary-sue. Here is the story of such character.

PRELUDE

 

 

The world is changed. I feel it in the water.

 

I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air.

 

Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.

 

It began with the forging of the Rings of Power.

 

Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.

 

Seven were given to the Dwarves, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls.

 

And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power.

 

For within these rings was bound the power and the will to rule each race.

 

But they were all of them deceived, for deep in the land of Mordor, the Dark Lord Sauron

 

forged another ring, a master ring, and into this ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and

 

his will to dominate every living thing.

 

One ring to rule them all.

 

One by one, the free peoples of Middle Earth fell to the power of the Ring, but there were

 

some who resisted.

 

A last alliance of men and elves marched against the armies of Mordor, and on the very slopes

 

of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth.

 

Victory was near, but the power of the ring could not be undone.

 

It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the king, took up his

 

father's sword.

 

And Sauron, enemy of the free peoples of Middle-Earth, was defeated.

 

The Ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever, but the hearts of

 

men are easily corrupted.

 

And the ring of power has a will of its own.

 

It betrayed Isildur, to his death.

 

And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend.

 

Legend became myth.

 

For two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge.

 

Until, when chance came, the ring ensnared another bearer.

 

The ring came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels under the Misty

 

Mountains, and there it consumed him.

 

The ring gave to Gollum unnatural long life.

 

For five hundred years it poisoned his mind, and in the gloom of Gollum's cave it waited.

 

Darkness crept back into the forests of the world.

 

Rumour grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear, and the Ring of Power

 

perceived that its time had come.

 

It abandoned Gollum, but then something happened that the Ring did not intend.

 

It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable.

 

A hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, of the Shire.

 

For the time will soon come when hobbits will shape the fortunes of all.

 

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

 

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

 

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

 

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

 

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

 

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

 

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

 

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

 

In the lands of Middle Earth, myth tells of the dark Lord Sauron and the Ring that would give

 

him the power to enslave the world. Lost for centuries, it has been sought by many.

 

And has now found its way into the hands of the most unlikely creature.

 

Frodo Baggins, a small hobbit deprived of the knowledge of the growing darkness throughout

 

the land.

 

But fate has chosen him and a great journey lies before him.

 

A quest to destroy the One Ring...

 

This task cannot be performed by Frodo alone. A Fellowship will protect him and an

 

unspeakable evil will pursue them.

 

But there is an unseen evil searching Arda for herself. She will hunt them mercilessly.

 

And she cannot be stopped by man, dwarf, or elf.

 

She was sent to protect them. A mortal girl throw into our world to counteract the actions

 

brought by another mortal girl.

 

With the knowledge of the futures events sealed in her memory by the grace of the Valar.

 

She will gain enemies........

 

Lose friends.......

 

And make the ultimate decision.

 

For the whole of Middle Earth will depend on her very actions against the evil one who think

 

only of herself.
