The siege of Osgiliath rages on. The fighting in Arnor leaves Arnor crippled and makes them no longer a threat to Y/n. 

Osmond devised a plan to deal with Y/n.   A risky plan.  

He had Eltariel, Sonimar and Keia launch a frontal assault on the orc war camp. This would get the attention of Y/n and his warchiefs. 

Meanwhile Myhlan and Osmond would sneak into the camp and acquire some leverage.  

Eltariel was more than a match for the grunts and captains.  Y/n's warchiefs organized the defenses.  Y/n thought that Osmond would arrive with a Gondorian strike force. He was wrong.

Iris was in her tent studying magic.  She was unaware of Myhlan and Osmond who snuck into the tent.

Suddenly Myhlan grabbed Iris and began to choke her out.   

Iris struggled but wasn't strong enough to fight off Myhlan.  Eventually she passed out.

Myhlan bound her hands and legs and threw her over his shoulder. 

They snuck out of the tent and began to sneak towards their hidden horses.

It was almost perfect. Except for  Zunn who was getting troops into a archer position.

He noticed the two trying to sneak.  He looked at Y/n who wasn't too far.

Zunn: *screaming* OSMOND IS HERE!  

Y/n snapped his gaze to Zunn who pointed the sneaking Osmond and Myhlan who just heard their cover being blown.

Y/n looked at Eltariel who looked at him with a smirk. Y/n grew angry.

Y/n: KILL THEM! I'M GOING AFTER OSMOND! 

Y/n  mounted his caragor and rode towards Osmond and Myhlan. They were able to get on horses and take off.

More hidden horses went to Eltariel, Sonimar and Keia.   Who got on them and rode off. 

Y/n stayed on Myhlan's and Osmond's heels.

Y/n: *screaming* I'll CUT YOU UP AND FEED YOU TO MY MEN FOR DINNER, YOU PIECES OF SHRAKH! 

Myhlan and Osmond continue to flee from Y/n.

Suddenly an unseen force tackled Y/n off his caragor.

He tumbled  down a hill, being stopped by a tree. 

He looked up on the hill to see Eltariel looking down at him.

Eltariel: For once, I win.

Eltariel walked away.

Y/n got up the hill and mounted his caragor.  Myhlan and Osmond were far out of his reach by now.  

Y/n felt defeated and embarrassed.  For once, he was the one outsmarted. He now knew what it felt like to be on the receiving end of trickery and deception.

He rode back to camp in shame. When he entered the camp. He got off his caragor and walked slowly. 

Vala approached him.

Vala: They got her didn't they?

Y/n: *softly* Yes.

Vala hugged Y/n.

Vala: You couldn't have known.

Y/n: *softly* I'm supposed to. I'm supposed to be prepared for anything. And yet I failed.

Vala rubbed his back in an attempt to comfort him.

It was no doubt Y/n blamed himself for Iris being captured. 

There was only one thing he could do to get her back.

This was the one thing Osmond counted on. If Osmond couldn't get Y/n to fight him right now. He had no other choice.

Iris was in the dungeon. Bound by metal arm cuffs, making her hands not visible.  And blocking her magic. 

Osmond and Myhlan walk into Iris's cell.  She looks at them.

Iris: I have nothing to say to either of you.

Osmond: I have something to say to you.

Iris: *sarcastic* That you are sorry?  *normally* Save it. Unlike you, Y/n doesn't make me feel like an accessory. I'm not known as his lover, I'm known as his trusted ally.  You made me feel like without you I was nothing.   

Osmond: I...I didn't mean to...make you feel like that.

Iris: It doesn't matter what you meant anymore.  You gave up on me. I thought you loved me! BUT YOU THREW ME AWAY THE FIRST CHANCE YOU GOT!  

Osmond: No! I...I.

Myhlan: Osmond. You should leave.

Osmond looked at Myhlan, then left with his head hung low. 

Myhlan looked at Iris.

Myhlan: I'm sorry, my friend.

Myhlan left the cell and closed the door. 

The next day Y/n walked onto the bridge, he wore no armor and had no weapons.

Ironstone stood on the battlements and waited.

Y/n: *yelling* Bring me Iris. And you can have me instead.

Y/n got on his knees on the Gondorian side of the broken bridge.

Ironstone smiled and allowed this exchange.

Iris was walked out with a twenty man escort. 

Grublik walked next to Y/n.

Grublik: You sure about this?

Y/n: I have to take responsibility for my actions. No matter what happens to me. They'll probably kill me.  But Iris is worth any pain.  Protect her Grublik, please.

Grublik: I'll protect her with my life.

Y/n: Thank you.  Goodbye my friend.

The men walked in front of Y/n and Grublik.

Iris looked at Y/n.

Iris: Y/n! You came for me.

Y/n: Of course I did.  

Y/n went past Iris and began walking towards the west Osgiliath.

Iris: *confused* Y/n?

Y/n looked back at Iris.

Y/n: Sorry Iris, this is the only way. I love you.

Iris: NO! 

Iris went to rush towards Y/n. But Grublik got a hold of her, stopping her.

Grublik: You can't! There is too many of them!

Iris: I can't just leave Y/n! Grublik, LET ME GO!  

Eventually Iris gave up and got on her knees and began to cry. Grublik helped her up on her feet and led her back to friendly lines.  

Unlike when Vala kidnapped Y/n. Most of the army lost Morale.  But the war must go on.
