Victims

She was just another victim. A Nurnhoth farm girl born to a single mother, forced to toil in the fields, sending the fattest of crops to the hordes of Mordor. It was long, restless work. Yet, she had her mother, her culture, and a lush green home...

... Until her father, a Black Numenorean lord, tore her away from it and pulled her to Gorgoroth. There, she saw the worst Mordor had to offer. All the labor, all the suffering, all the agony... Dark, vile creatures and ancient evils. She was not only exposed to it, but forced to dabble in it... She lived in luxury, yet under harsh, brutal training. Unless she made more victims, she would be a victim herself.

She held onto her heart through it all. Trying desperately, through her intellect and wit, how to provide for and comfort the victims she made. She was a dark, yet merciful, princess. All her father's servants knew that she was a cold, yet benevolent caregiver. Still, the darkness buffeted her from all sides. They were victims, yes, but she was a victim too... the loneliest victim out of all of them.
