Sauron's Adopted Daughter

Gaining Osgiliath

Caladwen's POV:

I stayed behind with the majority of the orc army, while one of the orc generals went ahead with a good amount of orc soldiers. There mission was to cross the river quietly, and then attack the Minas Tirith numbers in Osgiliath. It was a plan that was sure to work. The orc army behind me, remained quiet as we waited for the signal to start approaching Osgiliath. However, in the silence I listened to hear any sort of noise coming from Osgiliath. At first, things were very quiet, but as minutes went by I could hear the clashing of swords and firing of arrows. The screams of Minas Tirith's soldiers is what got me the most. It hurt me to think that I was partially responsible for the deaths of so many soldiers in this uprising of my father's reign.

The battle went on for hours, to where it eventually became day. The Witch-king flew above the orc army and I, which meant that we needed to start heading toward Osgiliath and so we did. The orc army started marching again, while I rode ahead of them.

By the time we reached Osgiliath, I disband the orc army. All the orcs broke formation and started fighting every man that stood in their way. As time went by, the men of Minas Tirith knew they couldn't hold Osgiliath from us any longer, so they retreated. I watched from the top of a broken down building while the men galloped their horses across a field, in hopes that they would make it back to Minas Tirith.

However, as much as I wanted them to make it back, I knew that most of them wouldn't. Knowing the Witch-king of Angmar, he wasn't just going let the men flee without eliminating more of their numbers. The fell beasts, including the one that the Witch-king was riding, went after the men on horseback by picking up the riders and their horses with the fell beasts feet.

I turned my head away, only for a moment, but I quickly turned back to look so that the orcs wouldn't see my weakness. Then, all of a sudden, Gandolf the White rode out of Minas Tirith. He was heading toward the men, who had been fleeing Osgiliath. He chased the fell beasts off by shining a bright white light at them. Once that was done, Gandolf headed back to Minas Tirith with the remaining men from Osgiliath.

The Witch-king and Gothmog joined me at the top of the ruined building. It was time for me to put on my tough-girl act.

"We need to act," I said. "and fast."

"Move all legions to the city of Minas Tirith." ordered the Witch-king to Gothmog. "And follow Caladwen's orders."

"Of course." replied Gothmog. "But, what about the wizard?"

"Leave the wizard to the Witch-king." I commanded. "All you have to do is do what I order you to do. Nothing else should worry you."

I think that I scared Gothmog pretty good because he left after I gave him his orders. I was left alone with the Witch-king. There was an awkward pause of silence between us.

"It is only an amount of time before my master, your father, Sauron becomes ruler over Middle Earth. Then, we will have complete power over everyone." said the Witch-king.

I looked over my shoulder at the Witch-king. I was completely disgusted by him. I had no intention of marrying him and I didn't like to think about that. How could I marry such a disgusting creature such as the Witch-king?

"See you when the job is done." I said before I rode off.
