chapter 2 Strange man

Unknown p.o.v

"GASP!!!!"

"uuuhhhhgggggggg"

"What the, where am I"

The strange man sat up from where he was laying and began looking around

'A forest, Its a forest, I'm in a forest'

the man began to chuckle, then it turned into laughter

"hahahahahahahahaha"

" IM FREEEEEE!!!"

The strange man could only laugh at his predicament, odd for a man who has no idea where he is

eventually, the strange man started to calm down and think about his current state

'How did I get here, it should be impossible for anyone to escape the void, unless...'

"FATHER!!"

'Why would he do this, why would he free me from that horrible place, the void...

'I can't worry about how I got here right now I need to figure out where I am, this could be Doriath, or Tar Im Duinath. it doesn't matter, as long as I can get out of here and find someplace to hide i can gather my forces and plan a counterattack.'

the strange man stood for a moment thinking to himself until he noticed something

"MY POWERS, WHAT HAPPENED!!!"

the man stood there looking at his hands for a moment and then looked up to the sky and yelled

"OF COURSE YOU WOULD DO THIS FATHER, I KNOW YOU WATCH ME, YOU SET ME FREE FROM THAT PRISON AND STRIP ME OF MY POWERS, KNOW THIS, THAT YOU SHALL REGRET YOUR DECISION AND I WILL EXACT MY REVENGE!!!

Large man p.o.v

A large man could be seen outside a large house taking care of one of his horses in the stables

"I can't believe it, I'm so stupid, why did I bring the child home? Yet she seemed so different from the invading men, they would have killed her if they found her. What would you have done."

The only response the large man got was a snort from the horse he was talking to while cleaning it

"And now I'm talking to a horse 'SNORT'.

"WWAAAAAahhhhhgggggg!!!"

"And now the baby's crying, great."

opening the door to his house, the large man walked over to the crying infant and looked down at her, dwarfing her with his ten-foot stature

"Well, what do you want."

The large man only scared the small infant even more and caused her to cry even louder

"WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!"

"Great I scared her, probably hungry, let's find you something to eat"

The large man then left his house and went out to the field and started walking to a cow, after a short few minutes the large man returns to his house

"Here you go little one"

The large man had returned to the infant with a cup full of cow milk in his hand, he tilted the cup for the infant and she seemed to want all of it

"Hm, you were hungry"

"BARK, BARK, BARK"

'sniff sniff'

"Someones coming"

The large man put down the cup he was using to feed the infant and ran outside, while running to the entrance of his gate he picked up his enormous axe, when the large man reached the gate he stopped before opening it

'SNIFF'

'He smells like the child!'

The large man slowly walked up to the door and yanked his gate door open, axe in hand ready to strike. What he saw though stunned him. A tall and lean man compared to an average person, but only coming up to about the large man's chin, he had long silky black hair, blood-red eyes, and he had the same pointed ears as the infant he found out in the forest. But it wasn't the pointed ears nor the fact he was about as tall as him that stunned him, no. IT WAS THE FACT HE WAS BUTT NAKED

The large man could only think of one way to react to the strange man

'THWACK'

The large man hit the strange man in the head with the butt of his axe knocking him out

"fucking creep"

The large man then began to drag the strange man to the barn, once he got inside he threw the strange man into a pile of hay, and then started walking back to his house.

'I can't kill him, if I do I could be killing the infant's family, once the creep wakes up ill give him the child and tell them to leave, then I can return to my peace. I should have clothes that should somewhat fit him, don't need the child seeing him naked.

Strange man p.o.v

"UUGGGG"

The strange man was waking up while groaning in pain at the barn he was thrown into

'My head, what happened' The strange man could only groan out a few words

reaching up to feel where I got hit, I could feel a bump and...

"BLOOD!!!!"

"I'm bleeding like a mortal, DAMN HIM! Father doesn't just take away my powers but my invulnerability and strength as well, of course, he would.'"

"Whoever has struck me will suffer the greatest and most excruciating pain I can unleash with this mortal form."

All of a sudden a large man entered the barn and threw a pair of clothes to the strange man

"Good you're awake, put these on"

"What the, who do you think you are, are you the one who struck me, do you know who I am"

"I'm the master of this land, yes I'm the one who hit you over the head and no I don't know or care who you are, all I want you to do is take your child and leave my home in peace."

"THEN KNOW THAT I SHALL MAKE YOU SUFFER PAIN FOR EVEN DARING TO STRIKE ME YOU LOWLY!!!"

The strange man stopped talking mid-sentence, he realized what the large man had said

"What child"

"The one that smells like you, same ears as well. She's got red hair like a fire, sound familiar."

"Take me to her"

"Follow me"

The large man led the strange man out of the barn after he put on the clothes he was given, the strange man seemed uncomfortable in the clothes given to him, once they entered the house the large man led the strange man over to the infant in the basket on the table

"Here she is"

The strange man slowly approached her, not saying a word since the large man brought up the child

once the strange man laid his Crimson red eyes upon the child the same crimson eyes stared back and his eyes widened with surprise, and for the first time in what could only be millennia or maybe even never, happiness

'It's her, my child, our child, why, why would father allow this, my child is here, mine and Aina, hers and mine

Then the strange man started laughing with what could only be joy

"hahahaha"

he then reached into the basket and picked up the baby and brought her close to his face

"Hello there, I'm your father"

The little infant started to laugh with joy, it seemed she knew exactly who the strange man was who held her.

"Hm, I haven't been able to get her to shut up all day, so your her father"

The strange man then looked over his shoulder with his daughter in his hands

"I am, and where did you find my daughter"

"I was in the woods when I stumbled upon her, the invaders would have killed her if they had found her. I've never seen people like you before, who and what are you."

"I am a group of beings called the Valar, beings of great power that you could never imagine. I am the Elder King, Melkor, and who and what are you."

"My name is Beorn, a skinchanger.

Beorn then stuck out his hand to shake while leaning against a table.

begrudgingly Melkor slowly shook the skinchangers hand, and in the other arm he held his daughter who could only giggle at her father's scowl

Melkor's face then took on a darker look that even scared Beorn and spoke with venom

"Now, why would these 'INVADERS' try to kill my Daughter'
