Spoiler:
LotR MarySue - Randomly written as they occur to meJ Sauron’s daughter à blood-red hair, snapping black eyes.
J Commander of the Orc forces.
J Captured ((for some reason)) by Gondor’s men, brought before Gandalf for trial ((or whatever)). She says something like “Do whatever you feel you must. My father will avenge me.” Legolas ((or someone)) says, “Your father will not avenge you. You are nothing to him.” She glares at him and says, “I am his WORLD!” Gandalf says quietly, “No. Only the Ring.” Her head snaps round to look at him. “You’re wrong.” She says quietly but clearly, yanks free of her guards and runs ((maybe hijacks a Nazgul?))
J She returns to her father, who simply says, “You have failed me.” The orcs grab her and throw her out the Black Gates, while she cries and screams for her father. She wanders blankly for a few hours, then grabs a horse and rides to Gondor, planning to take them on herself and win back a place at her father’s side if she cannot have a place in his heart.
J “He didn’t even care enough to kill me.”
J REASON SHE IS CAPTURED
J In the battle, Orcs are beginning to lose. They are directionless and faltering. She snarls, “I don’t have time for this,” and spurs her mount onwards. She rides through her army, holding her sword up high. She suddenly swings her arm, throwing it round until her sword points at Gondor/Gondor’s Army and commands them to “MOVE!” She heads her army, and Gandalf sees her and orders that they capture her. “Take her and they all fall.”
J Her horse is shot from under her, she has two swords, whipping round in circles, kicking, laying men out, ducking blades and dodging blows. Still, she is hopelessly outnumbered, and cut-off from the rest of her army. One man gets behind her and grabs her upper arm and yanks it back. She screams with rage and pain and drops to her knees. She whips round, and knocks the legs out from under him, and is just spinning herself upright, flips her hair up and is grabbed at the shoulders and upper arms by two men. She fights like a wildcat, wrenching her shoulders and kicking her legs. Two more men grab her legs and she flails like a madbeast until someone uses the butt if his knife to knock her out. She goes limp and one man throws her over his shoulder.
J They reach Gandalf, and the man drops her to the floor like a sack of corn. She rolls, ending spreadeagled on the floor. Gandalf sweeps her hair from her face, revealing features too young and blossoming to be stained by such evil. A bruise is spreading over her left cheekbone and she has a cut across her right eyebrow and temple. Gandalf simply says, “It is she.” He passes a hand over face and says, “Awaken.” Her eyelids raise groggily, but as soon as she sees Gandalf, her eyebrows snap together, causing her cut to begin to bleed freely again. She jumps to her feet and adopts a defensive crouch, her eyes searching the room for exits. Gandalf says, “You are weaponless and outnumbered over a hundred to one within these walls. How do you hope to escape?” She draws herself up tall, head high and proud and says, “Do whatever you feel you must. My father will avenge me.” yada yada yada
J “I am adept at death. I do not rejoice in it.”
J “Why do you not arm your women? They will be raped, tortured and murdered, and you will not be here to protect them.”
“Women do not know one end of the sword from the other.”
She trips him up and presses a sword to his throat.
“I beg to differ.”
J Her mother named her Sirilian or something like that. When she was young, her mother was always distant from her, and the other Elves ignored her completely, as the shame upon Elvenkind that she is.
She fell in love with a young Lorien Elf named Haldir, but the other Elves taunted him and shamed him so much that he left her.
“Don’t you love me?”
“No.”
She leaves, bitter and broken, and Sauron senses this and calls her to Mordor. She comes to him there and he orders the orcs to treat her like royalty – she gets the best food, the best drink, the best armour, the best steed…
Apart from following her father’s wishes, she is free to do as she chooses.
Sauron wants to get rid of her former life, so renames her Sreya ((Ssreya, something like that.))
J When she arrives at Gondor to try and kill them all and win back her place with her father, Legolas and her have a major kickass fight. She hates him because, as she puts it, “I’m not like you! I cannot leave! I must stay here and rot with the filth of men!”
He screams, “Filth? FILTH!? You do not know the meaning of the word, you impure monster!” ((Hey, I know it’s crap, I’ll work on it later!))
He continues.
“You have taken and taken until you can take no more, than destroyed all you have left. I have lost too many of my kin, of my friends – ((names loadsa Elvish names)) Haldir! YOU TOOK THEM FROM ME!”
At this point, they are on the floor, and he punches her for every word. She kicks out at him, he rolls, she lands on top with a knife to his throat.
“Haldir!” she spits. “Do not say that name!”
He says, “Why? He is more worthy than you and your entire army!”
“Liar! Deceiver! I still remember, even after a hundred generations of Men ((or whatever)) – I will still remember after a thousand! He is a betrayer, a beast, a rotting CANCER!”
Her helmet is knocked off, and Legolas finally sees her Elf ears.
“You are not… Sirilian?”
She hits him. “Silence! Sirilian is dead! Only Sreya remains!”
J STRUCTURE OF STORY – bit like Tria-HP Fic – Interlude, Chapter, Interlude… etc.
J Interludes are all of Sirilian/Sreya’s life, specifically her childhood, her betrayal by Haldir and her early years of Mordor.
J One of the final scenes is a dream. Haldir comes to her, tells her that he always loved her and never meant to hurt her. She asks, “Where are you?” and he says “In Valinor. When you’re time has come, I will be waiting for you… my world.”
((A/N. I know it’s sappy, but it has been pointed out that my characters are so angsty and suicidal that at least one deserves a happy ending!))
J In the dream, Haldir asks her to join with Gandalf/Legolas etc. “For me?”
J After Haldir comes to her in a dream ((she has been trapped in Gondor at this time)), they finally ask her if she will join them ((as she now hates her father for using her so)) she says, “Yes. For Haldir.”
J At the battle at the Black Gates, after Aragorn, Gandalf etc have ridden out and returned, and the Orc Army has come out, she rides clear of the Gondor men, turns to the Orcs and screams “Who dares challenge me!? Not one of you dares to face me!!” (( or something)) One of the orcs comes to meet her, and she beats him. Another tries, same thing. Two come at once, and get one cut on her, and she lays him out. She places a hand to the wound, holds it up to reveal blood. Seeing this, the Orcs run to meet them… yadayadyada, I’ll fill it in after I’ve seen RotK again…
Big theme of nothing –
“You are nothing to me.”
“You are nothing to him.”
“What do you see?” “Nothing.”
“I feel nothing!”
“She is nothing to me.”
“She is nothing.”
“She is a nothing.”
“Do you hear me?” “I hear nothing.”
“You are nothing.”
“You can do nothing to me.”
“You can do nothing.”
“There is nothing.”
“There is nothing here for me.”
“There is nothing left.”
“There is nothing left for me here.”
“There is nothing left for me.”
“There is nothing to fear.”
“There is nothing I fear.”
“I fear nothing.”
“There is nothing to feel.”
“There is nothing left to take.”
“There is nothing left for me to feel.”
“There is nothing left for you to take.”
“There is nothing left of me.”
“What was left?” “Nothing.”
At some point says “I will not see Mordor fall!” then, when she has switched to Gandalf’s side, and is fighting the Orcs, one of the Orcs slashes her across the eyes – so she LITERALLY does not see Mordor fall!
