Summary
In the timeless realm beyond the confines of Middle-earth, where the Valar dwelt in splendor, Sauron found himself in a state of disorienting transition. His spirit, unmoored from the physical world, floated in a liminal space between existence and non-existence, aware of his surroundings yet unable to fully grasp their nature. It was a strange sensation, akin to being adrift in a sea of whispers and shadows.
Suddenly, a commanding voice cut through the ethereal fog that enveloped him. "Sauron," it called.
Sauron, recognizing the voice immediately, focused his attention. "Ulmo," he acknowledged, his tone neither deferential nor hostile.
"You are to return to Middle-earth," Ulmo declared, his words carrying a weight that seemed to reverberate through Sauron's very being.
Sauron felt a surge of both curiosity and apprehension. Why was he being sent back? What purpose awaited him in the world he had once sought to conquer?
