Ungoliant Geschichten

Long after the fall of Sauron and the passing of the Elves, a darkness stirs once more beneath the mountains of Mordor. Deep within Toreth Ungol, the ancient spider Shelob-last child of Ungoliant-awakens from her long recovery. Forgotten by time and untouched by light, she feeds again upon the wanderers of Middle-earth. As men and hobbits vanish without a trace, whispers of an old terror return to haunt the Fourth Age. Rangers and Shirefolk seek the truth behind the disappearances, only to find that the world below has grown vast and alive with evil. Yet far beyond the knowledge of kings and sages, a greater power moves unseen-one that will end Shelob's reign not by sword or flames, but by the will of the world itself.

Under a curtain of black webs, next to a pool that seems to suck up the shadows of Avathar, Ungoliant ponders on the terms she has negotiated with her former master. So long as she remembers the light that will become hers, she will breathe Aman's saccharine air and expose herself to the Valar's fiery eyes with an undaunted heart. This is an entry for the Tales of Arda Marred Contest. I do not own The Silmarillion nor its characters.
