He stood in Sauron’s smithy. He had carried himself there on his own two feet. He drew out that … Lover? Master? Self? ... that Golden Ring. And he remembered no more.

Until he found himself standing beside his … Servant? Gardener? Brother? ... his Friend of Friends. Sam had carried him out….

But to Mordor, the land of despair. 

To be out, Frodo knew now, was not to be whole — was not to be happy.

Until…

“Come in, Mr. Frodo. You’ll catch your death of cold out here!”

And Sam led him through the green door of Bag End.

Mordor was much more than a physical place. This shows that well in that Frodo was carried up a mountain, but not carried down, much as Sam would have tried. The Ring-bearer held that terrible place within him as did the hearts and souls of the Nazgul and all those who served there, though Frodo was not on the level of that. Indeed he must have wondered what the Ring was to him, a rapist that he still desired. And who was Sam too - all of those things, a light in his darkness. Well done!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
