Y/n is about to duel another orc captain.   The captain draws his duel axes.

Orc: Pay attention lads, this is how you gut a glob.

Y/n: I didn't know you'd volunteer to be gutted.

Up on the battlements nearby Talia sits down letting her legs hang over the ledge and is ready to watch the duel.

Celebrimbor: This will give us a chance to study his moves and tactics.

Talia: Assuming he uses the same tactics for every opponent.  .

The captain lunged at Y/n who dodged and slashed at the back of the captain leaving a cut.  The captain went for another slash only for Y/n to cut an arm off. The Captain screamed in pain and went for a desperate last strike.

Y/n blocked the strike and headbutted the captain knocking him down. He stabbed through the neck of the captain ending him.

Celebrimbor: That was quick.

Talia: I was just getting comfortable too.  

Celebrimbor: Should we fight him again?

Talia: Not yet. Let's continue to observe and see what we learn. 

Y/n later on found himself in a trial by ordeal. To fight a wild caragor.

Y/n: I got to fight for my meal? I might as well turn you into a blanket as well.

The caragor cage opened and the caragor went to pounce on Y/n. Y/n stabbed the caragor through the brain killing it intresting.

Talia watched Y/n for some time. Trying to learn anything that could lead her to victory against him. But all his fights end too fast. 

Eventually he had a different trial by ordeal. Against a squad of gondorians. 

Talia: I can't let him just kill them.

Talia went for a shadow strike on Y/n. But Y/n reacted at the last second dodging a strike.

Y/n: You're still alive!?  Once in a while an orc comes back from the dead. But never a pinkskin. 

Orc: The gravewalker! Y/n is going to fight the gravewalker!

Y/n: You attracted a crowd. Not good for you.

Talia: Do you really need them to fight me?

Y/n: No. But it'll be fun.

Y/n lunged taking Talia off guard, she barely dodged and jumped over Y/n kicking the back of his head.  The outpost alarm lit up the night sky.  

Y/n managed to knock down Talia. She grabbed a handful of dirt. And threw it into Y/n's eyes.

Y/n: Ahhh! You piece of Shrakh! 

Talia took this opportunity and lunged at Y/n only to her surprise Y/n dodged.

Y/n: You think you're the only one who did that before?

Talia charged once again only to have her strike deflected and Y/n's blade plunge into her heart.

Y/n: Just stay dead will ya?

Talia resurrected once more.

Celebrimbor: Perhaps.

Talia: Shut it.  We need to head to cirith ungol.  He can't do anything without enough troops.

(Timeeeeeee skip)

The final push for minas ithil has taken the city turning jt into minas morgul.  Y/n goes to nurnen. 

He enjoyed Nurnen. He liked the nice ocean view.  

He found himself defending his camp from another captain. Who killed all his grunts and injured Y/n cutting his gut.

Y/n learnt how to mend his wounds over the years.  He cleaned his cut and bandaged it. Difficult on his own but he managed.

He sat in his tent before laying down to rest.   Two days later Y/n found himself running into an ambush. There were around thirty orcs. They all were killed but he was hurt.  Cut across the gut badly.

He stumbled back to camp dragging his sword on the ground not having the strength to put it away. He sat down in his tent and then realized he put the alcohol at the end of the tent.   He sighed.

Y/n: You got to be kidding me.

Talia: Perhaps you would like some help?

Y/n shot his glance towards the entrance to his tent to see Talia standing there. He went for his sword but he couldn't stand the pain.

Talia: Relax. I'm not here to kill you.

Y/n: Why are you here then.

Talia: As I said. To help you.  

Talia grabbed the bottle and went up to Y/n. She kneeled down to his level and went to pour the liquid. But Y/n grabbed her wrist.

Y/n: Why are you helping me. You watched me kill you're people. I killed you twice. 

Talia: Because. I'm more curious about you. Now let me help you before you bleed out.

Y/n let go of Talia as she tended to his wound. She finished tending to him. 

Talia: I think you'll live to fight another day. 

Y/n: Thanks.

Talia: My pleasure. Y/n, I'm making an army, to conquer mordor. I could use an experienced sword like yourself.

Y/n: I don't think I want to be fighting anyone's battle at the moment.

Talia: Well if you change you're mind. I'm sure you can find me.

And with that Talia left. Leaving Y/n to his thoughts.
