Scene: Barad-Dur

[Flourish. Enter Gil-galad, Elendil, Isildur.]

Gil-galad: Se'en years, hath we laid siege to the dark tower. And e'en yet the dark lord himself now approacheth.

Elendil: Yay, forsooth. The host of Mordor hath we lain waste, and all orcs and trolls hath their liege forsook.

[Enter Sauron]

Sauron: Of minions now have I no need. Mere elf-lords and lowly men shall quail before the wrath of the maia uncloak'ed.

[They fight. Gil-galad and Elendil die.]

Isildur: Araunt, lord of darkness. For the life of my sire, thou shalt pay dearly.

[They fight. Sauron falls]

Sauron: Unseamed am I from nave to chaps. Seek me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave fellow--fingerless, bereft of that jewel which once held all in its sway, all is lost. [dies]

Isildur: For weregild shall I claim this. It shall be an heirloom to my kingdom.

[Exeunt]
