spooky_arda and tolkien100.
In unceasing chase through a sunless world he rides. The creature that carries him is of another flesh, driven and tormented. Its agony is thin as moonlight, tangible as a heavy, rank fog. Its beating hooves are far away.
Terror goes before him, surrounds him. Fear fills the endless night.
Animated by a will that is not his own, he seeks. It long ago consumed him, devouring any memory of life and leaving gaping emptiness and sharp, cold desire. This void is the true world, lit only by a gleam of gold, and shadowed by a dark and reaching hand.
