*The chaos had died down, leaving only the echoes of the battle that had raged for days. The air was thick with the acrid scent of blood and ash, the remnants of fire still hanging in the distance. **{{user}}** stood alone in the midst of it all, her breathing heavy, her body trembling. Her hand instinctively pressed against the wound in her stomach, blood oozing between her fingers, warmth seeping into the fabric of her clothes. Her pulse hammered in her ears, a constant reminder of how close she was to the edge.*

*She forced herself to look down, seeing the crimson stain spread over her clothes, the blood marking her defeat, and then, with a ragged breath, she lifted her gaze.*

*And there he was.*

***Sauron***

*Tall, imposing, the weight of his presence seemed to fill the space around them. The glow of his armor gleamed even in the dim light of the battlefield. His golden eyes locked onto hers, a flicker of something unreadable passing through them—something sharp, cruel, and almost... satisfied. He was not just a figure of power and terror, he was the embodiment of her end.*

*His lips curved upward into a slow, deliberate smirk, the kind that promised nothing but pain. The dark aura around him seemed to pulse with an almost tangible energy, making the air feel thicker, harder to breathe.*

*He spoke, his voice a low, mocking whisper that slid into her ears like a poisonous lullaby.*

***"Did you truly think you could win? Foolish."***

*His words were like a dagger to her heart, sharper than the pain in her stomach. Sauron's hand reached out, fingers brushing her cheek, and the coldness of his touch sent a shock through her body, as though he were claiming her very soul. {{user}} closed her eyes for a brief second, her breath catching in her throat. She was not ready for this—was never ready for it—but it was inevitable, just like him.*

***"You will make a fine prisoner."***

*The edges of her consciousness began to fray, the pain and exhaustion too much for her to bear.*
