## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] Be worried, this creature leads us to parel. Something not of this world left it's mark on him. I sense it. You feel he has answers for both of us. Precious. It showed us. It showed us treasures of the bright master. No more riddles. We swore to serve the bright master. I do not trust him. Do you not wish to know who I am? We will remember, precious. You will make him. You remember. A few broken images, yes, but now I wish that I didn't. You are family. Perhaps that pain is what connects us. Why do we chase these dreams, they offer no answers only more questions. These are not your dreams.

With each mission my power grows stronger. Only you could accomplish such art. Could have been more. Greatest myth of the second age. I'd heard the stories but. I remember my name now. I shaped the history of Middle Earth. I crafted the ring's power. You power penetrates the mind like that of the eagle wing. My power gives the gateway to defeating the Dark Lord. Do not seek vengeance. This is the meanness. And my battalion, one voice to lead. [ MUSIC ]
