The Returning of the One
Leaving under the cover of night
Through the forest plagued by darkness
Embarking on a quest
With no end in sight
Never looking back
For fear of evil Wraiths-
Sauron's evil servants
Agents of the night
Out to seek the Ring
For their master will be pleased
One Ring to rule them all
One Ring to find them
Forged in the fires of Mount Doom
By the monstrous hand of Sauron
In the evil realm called Mordor
Infested with horrible orcs
Through the hands of Sauron
The Ring fell to Isildur
But the Ring took control
And possessed Isildur
Slain at the hands of monsters
The Ring forever lost...
Word turned to story
Story turned to Legend
And as legend turned to myth,
Middle-earth settled into peace
Then one unfortunate fellow
Not much different than a man
Discovered the evil Ring
Then stashing it away,
He crept deep into the mountains
But there the Ring possessed him
It gave him life
In return for his soul
But after many years,
The Ring grew tired of waiting
It crept into the darkness,
To hide and then be seeked
But the Ring did not expect
As to who would discover it
And the most unlikely creature
Stumbled there upon it
Found by Bilbo Baggins, an adventurous young hobbit,
Then passed to Frodo Baggins, his adventurous young nephew
But the Ring must be returned
To the place from whence it came
Through the wretched slopes of Mordor
Into the Fires of Mount Doom
An unexpected hero
To do what must be done
And so begins the journey,
The Returning of the One
