"Malachi! Malachi!" I call.

I climb up the staircase. The wind howls. I had my hood up for the rain was pouring. Perhaps it is a sign of what's to come for me. I don't know if I should kill him or not. I just need answers right now. I walk up to the opening of the fortress. I look around. 

"Hello brother." A voice says behind me.

I turn.

"I have come for answers. I suspect you're infected with something." I say.

"Infected is a harsh word for it." He says.

"What have you done?" I ask.

"I take it you have seen the statue in Rivendell." He says.

"Yes. I have. It is a phantom of darkness disease that has infected her." I say.

"Infected her yes, but it gave me a gift." He says.

"How?" I ask.

"Sauron had told me that Lord Elrond was keeping a weapon hidden from us. I did not believe him but the curiously skyrocketed as he told me of a dark secret in Rivendell about a maiden called Eway. How she fell to such power." He says.

"Power? Or was it madness?" I ask. 

"I knew you would not approve, but perhaps I can convince you to join me." He says.
