Chapter 11 - Chapter 11, Short negotiations.

"No brother!"

Yelled wolf Guard in desperation as he watched his brother fall down into the chasm below, to his death.

Then his eyes turned to the pale beast on the bridge and his blood boiled with rage as he roared.

"You bastard, I'll have your head for this and then I'll shit down your fucking dead pale mouth, argh!"

And with that Wolfguard pulled out his axe, as his other hand held a wooden round shield. There was no hesitation within his eyes, only rage as he charged towards the pale beast uncaring of his 6 men behind him, the two women on the other side or the beast that hid deep within the darkness of Moria.

Wolfguard only had one target and thing on his mind now and nothing could stop him. Though unknown to the Wildman his opponents blood boiled much hotter in rage than his own did.

Gollums veins pumped with red hot blood, that made steam rise from his body, his muscles bulged out, teeth mashed together like some raving animals and hot air came out his nostrils like if he were a dragon. Gollum would not be stopped, no way, not before he had his sexy young women back again. They were his bitches and nobody else's.

Stomping his bare feet on the cold hard stone bridge Gollum roared then like a mad beast.

"Arghhalaa Gollum kill, raggaaahhhhh!"

His roar was fierce and echoed far within the deep, but his foolish human opponent was not moved. And so he charged at the man and there on the bridge of Khazad-dûm the two men ran towards one and other ready to tare eachother to shreds.

Until the Wildman suddenly got an arrow in between his eyes, causing his eyes to widen in shock, his body go stiff as he then quite unceremoniously fell off of the bridge to his utter death. And so the two men's moment of revenge was cut short by a beautiful Elven woman's actions.

Tauriel standing far on the other side of the bridge behind Gollum was already preparing another arrow, as Gollum continued his charge uncaring of the woman's actions . While 5 of the 6 remaining men had their Wildman instincts kick in, in rage they roared, took out their own bows and readied themselves to kill the Elf in the distance and the pale beast before them.

Although Wolfsent had other plans, as he was quick to turn around and run away.

"Fu Fu, fuck this! Wolfsent sees no beef value in this. Wolfsent run to save Wolfsents own life!"

Gullum was now two thirds over the bridge of Khazad-dûm, when Gollum saw one of the 5 men on the other side fall as Tauriels arrow struck him in the shoulder. Then the 4 remaining men let loose their own arrows.

Moving his head slightly to the side he easily avoided one arrow to the face and took three arrows to his upper body. The enemy smiled, but not soon as they realised that Gollum didn't stop.

With three arrows within his body Gollum charged as he roared and closed the distance. With four men standing pretty much side to side, Gollum chose the first on the left and before the man could pull out his own axe, he received a devastating fist to his face.

The fist came with such force and speed that it annihilated the man's nose, went through it and broke the man's skull enough to send bits of the man's own skull flying into the mans brain killing him almost instantly. As the man then went flying for a few meters.

The crack of the man's skull echoed throughout the first and second hall of Moria. But before the man's corpse even touched the cold hard floor, Gollum turned his left leg towards the first man on his right, and sent a devastating kick into his chest.

The force of his kick broke the man's ribcage, sending broken pieces of bones straight into the man's heart, killing the man instantly.

And as the force of the kick sent him flying, Gollum had already jumped onto another man tackling him to the ground.

"Ahhhhh!"

The man screamed in a panic as Gollum bit into his neck. In desperation he tried to pull Gollum off, but to no avail.

Gollum's rage could not be stopped, and as blood flowed within his mouth, Gollum's eyes turned pure red, like beautiful red rubies where nothing but the fires of his eternal burning rage could be seen. He reveled in the feeling of his enemies panicked desperate hands pulling at him. To Gollum it was like a woman was massaging his back, so good, though he still didn't fail to sense the axe coming towards his head.

Behind him another man was aiming for his head, but Gollum was quick to let go of the man beneath him by ripping out a huge chunk of his neck. By doing so he moved slightly to the side causing the axe to only fall upon his wide open back.

Realising this, the axe man tried to pull out his axe for another attack. But Gollum's back muscles clenched together, the axe was stuck. In realisation of this the man's eyes widened in horror.

Gollum then glanced backwards at the man, doing so he showed off his red eyes and blood covered mouth that held a wide evil grin.

Seeing it the man without thinking let go of his axe, like so releasing Gollum to stand up freely and turn to look at the man. The man was taller than he was, and yet before Gollum the man seemed so fucking small and insignificant.

He could merely stand there frozen in fear as Gollum pointed his open palms fingers against the man's chest. The tips of his fingers hovered over his chest where his heart was. And then without a word said his palm closed into a fist and slammed against the man's chest.

Instantly the man flew to the floor, only groans came out his mouth, as his heart just then stopped, and he died eyes wide and lifeless.

Now only one man remained. In pain he lay on the ground with an arrow in his shoulder, as he looked upon Gollum and asked.

"What are you, you you, monster."

Gollum merely showed a smile, and then another arrow came and went straight through the wounded man's fucking head. No reaction came from him, as he merely fell backwards on his back dead.

Looking to Tauriel Gollum nodded his head approvingly and then looked to Ailith as he then yelled to her.

"I'll be back!"

He didn't wait for their response and just ran further ahead away from the bridge, and then turned left to the stairs. Down at the bottom he could see a glimpse of the last remaining man running away into the first hall.

And without any hesitation Gollum ran and jumped down the long stairs. Like a heavy sack of bricks Gollum landed with a hard Bang at the bottom of the stairs.

Slowly he stood up, his bones taking a moment to recover from the landing, as he then looked to the exit from the first hall where the Wildman was heading to. Running after him, Gollum along the way pulled out the three arrows from his body, and by merely flexing his back he made the axe stuck to his back fall.

Wolfsent was in a panic, never had he seen a fiercer or more fear endusing beast as the one coming behind him. He could hear it's heavy step's already coming behind him, he had torn through the best men that the tribe had to offer like they were nothing.

This was it, he was going to die. Or that's what he thought until to his relief he saw two of the men at the entrance to Moria with all the men's horses there waiting for him.

"Oh, Wolfsent what's the rush? Did you get the woman or what?"

One of the two men waiting there asked, but Wolfsent didn't answer. He just ran to one of the horses, hopped on it and rode off.

"Hey what the hell Wolfsent?"

Complained one of the men, until suddenly Gollum jumped on his back and ripped out the back of his neck, spine bone and all with his teeth. Instantly the man went limp and fell to the ground like spaghetti, as the other man yelled in surprise.

"What the fuck?"

Gollum seeing the man moved fast by getting to his feet and then poking his fingers straight into the mans eyes.

"Ahhhhh!"

He yelled in pain, until his throat was grabbed, crushed, and ripped out by Gollum's bare hands.

Blood sprayed on Gollum's body, the horses panicked, then Gollum jumped on one of them and tried to ride it, only to quickly be thrown off.

Sadly Gollum didn't know how to ride a horse, and so he instead ran and ran after the escaping Wolfsent. Fast like an animal he ran after the horse and man, his bare feet kicking up dust and grass as he did so.

Going down the valley, past the forest of Lòrien Gollum sensed some keen elven eyes upon him, but he didn't care. Gollum's eyes were only upon the singular rider and the horse.

Running through the forest road next to Lòrien while never loosing sight of his target, Gollum then followed the rider onto the open fields next to the forest of Lòrien. Quickly on the open fields the horse picked up speed and Gollum fell behind.

Still from further back behind the grassy hills Gollum kept coming and kept catching glimpses of the horse. And soon Gollum began to notice extra horse tracks on the path he followed. And within the air he could smell the sweet scents of his women.

Now knowing that he was on the right track Gollum followed the horse and the scents of his women onwards, until he spotted a wooden bridge going over the river Anduin that the horse and the rider were crossing in the distance.

Seeing it Gollum pushed himself onwards with all haste and as he got closer he noticed the outline of a wooden town in the distance. Crossing over the bridge Gollum could see the horse and the rider escaping towards the town.

Getting on the dirt road that was on the other side of the bridge Gollum then ran up over a hill and began to then see. There indeed was a town with a wooden wall going around it in the distance. And around the town were many fields of wheat that men and women seemed to be working upon.

And there within the far distance Gollum could see the man riding up to the gates and seemingly alerting the men there to his presence.

***

Wolfsent was in a panic as he crazily rode before the gate guards and spoke.

"Wolfsent see see, crazy monster in the form of a man coming! It its going to kill me! Please kill it first, I don't want to be torn apart or tossed into chasm like brothers have, I don't want to."

The four guards hearing the usually calm Wolfsents words were immediately alerted.

"Don't worry Wolfsent brother, we will take care of this. You just go and report back to the king. The girls are already there as are the others."

Said the tallest of the guards who was dressed in heavy chainmail armour, and holding an long bow just like the others were.

Wolfsent seeing their intimidating appearances felt reassured but only a little as he rode further within the town. Leaving the 4 men to face off against the creature Gollum.

In the distance the men could only see a small dirt cloud approaching their position, and what seemed like a half naked man running. Though whatever it was didn't matter to them, for they were warriors willing to face down anything and everything.

Putting on their iron helmet's, axes to their sides, and planting a handful of arrows to the ground the men were prepared. Once the creature coming their way was visible enough so that they could make out its long ears the men took out arrows, placed them upon their bows and prepared to fire.

The farmers and other towns folk seeing this were quickly also alerted to the coming danger. They too were warriors if need be, although they weren't armed or armoured yet and so as no alert had yet been given they merely stopped to watch what was happening.

Then only quick snaps of the bow strings being released could be heard, and the whispering rush of arrows cutting through the air as the 4 arrows were set loose. Only to then barely pass by their target.

The creature seemingly seeing the arrows coming was able to dodge them with ease.

"No way!"

One of the men exclaimed as he quickly prepared another arrow as did the others as well. Once more as the archers pulled back, the wooden limbs of the bows creaked slightly under tension. The bowstrings hummed with strain, a taut, an almost musical vibration.

Then when the release came, a sharp "snap" was heard as the bowstrings sprung forward setting loose their arrows. Now only a slight hiss of the arrows cutting through the air could be heard, then the world seemed to hold its breath as silence followed, and nothing.

Once more the creature twisted its body and with ease dodged the incoming arrows.

Now the men felt fear struck them, especially as they could now see the monsters huge muscular frame. With each of it's running movements the creatures body seemed to be just rippling with power.

There within that creature they could finally sense death approaching. Now bows were tossed aside and it was time for the shields and axes to do their part.

One man though was quick to look to the towns people and yell.

"Raise the alarm, get everyone over here right now to face this monster!"

Though the particular towns man hearing this was quick to question.

"What do you mean everyone?"

To which the warrior simply said.

"I mean everyone! Now go!"

And almost as if on que the warrior turned to face the creature, and just barely managed to raise his shield before the creature slammed into him like a bull. Instantly the shield cracked and shattered under the immense pressure as the creature tackled the warrior to the ground.

It's heavy body along with the hard impact being enough to knock the air straight out from the warrior.

The others seeing it were so stunned that for but a few seconds they merely stood by and watched at the sides in awe. Until they noticed the creature get to its feet and ran past them further into the town.

"Oi you there stop!"

One of them managed to yell as he gave chase and remember to yell out a challenge to the creature.

"Come here and let me rip out your skull! You you, you coward!"

However the creature didn't stop, it ran past the towns people, the women, the men and the children uncaringly. It didn't even stop to look at the beautiful blacksmith shop, the many wooden houses with straw roofs, or the mighty wooden statue of their King at the central square of the town, it merely ran up towards the hill at the back of the town where the kings wooden halls were.

The guards seeing this were offended, it was like the creature didn't think anything of their beautiful town. They had spent so much time building up Drownhold and yet their town got no attention.

Seeing it the men and most of all the women and girls in the town felt offended. And soon many war cries were heard as large groups of men with weapons of all kinds gave chase to the intruder.

***

For Gollum all he could now see was a trail that his women's scent formed within his mind. And the trail was getting ever stronger the closer he got to the hill.

There once more two men in heavy chainmail armours with spears and shields awaited for him.

"Halt, or we will drink from your skull!"

They barked out at him, but he didn't care. Their spears were quick to come at him, only for them to fall in between his armpits as he then bent his knees, lifted up the spears and tossed both the men over his shoulders.

With heavy thuds they fell and rolled slightly down the hill as he calmly walked up the wooden steps to the large wooden double doors.

Pushing open the doors Gollum was then met with a small square shaped room with another set of double doors guarded by two more guards, plus two side rooms on either side with singular doors leading to them.

And as he and the guards eyes met, one of them yelled.

"Oi what's this then ei! Come to die by our axes have you!"

And indeed both held large double handed axes that they were seemingly more than eager to use on him. Though Gollum didn't fret, instead he took up a combat stance as the one on his right charged at him.

With axe raised up high in the signature woodcutting pose. Gollum sidestepped to the right easily dodging the heavy blow that fell hard onto the wooden floor with a bang. And as it did Gollum merely grabbed the warriors head and sent a hard knee into his face.

Only a mighty crack and a groan could be heard as the warriors nose broke and body staggered backwards in shock, till he fell against the double doors.

"Ha haa, yess!"

The other warrior cheered at the sight of blood as he charged at Gollum with a sideways sweeping heavy strike. It was fast, but Gollum was faster as he stepped forward and caught the long wooden handle of the axe between his muscular body and his muscular arm.

Though the warrior was not shaken. From under his helmet's visor that left the bottom half of his face visible, the man showed a toothy grin, let go of the axe, grabbed Gollum's shoulders and sent his own armoured helmet upper face into Gollum's naked upper face with a hard smack.

Gollum being unprepared for such an strike took it head on literally, and was about to stagger backwards, but the warrior wouldn't let him. Instead the axe dropped to the ground as Gollum was pulled back and given another hard hit in the face.

"Smack smack smack!" The hits came one after the other, as the guard laughed madly at the same time.

"Haha hah haaa!"

Until suddenly Gollum closed his right hand into a fist, pulled it back, and sent a devastating strike right into the mans chest.

"Bam!"

The hit instantly wiped away the guards smile, and replaced it with a shocked look of disbelief, as he staggered back, and then fell to the ground dead.

With one strike Gollum had once again stopped a man's heart, and yet he held no expression on his face. Gollum merely turned his gaze upon the other guard whos nose was bloodied and broken, and teeth mashed together as he roared.

"Damn you bastard, I'll make the next harvesting season good with your blood!"

Though Gollum didn't care as he wiped away some of the blood from his face and walked past the man. Pushing open the double doors Gollum then came within the large hall.

There in the center a fire was burning and beyond it was the throne where a large man with a naked upper chest sat. And before that throne were two guards who held his women in place.

Maud and Davina seeing Gollum instantly had their eyes lit up in hope as they called out to him.

"Gollum!"

Seeing them Gollum didn't hesitate to step within the hall, though as he did he could hear the man behind him getting up, and at the same time more guards were coming from the outside and from the side rooms. Soon he would be overwhelmed by guards, and so he charged.

Petty King Saeweald Morcarson Of Drownholt seeing Gollum's coming yelled.

"Ahhhhhhh you fuck! Your muddy bare feet are ruining my floor! Men get him the fuck out of here, now!"

The two men unfaced by Gollum's charge did as they were commanded. And though they were bare handed they charged at Gollum.

Already tired from all that he had done Gollum nonetheless took the first man head on who went straight for a tackle against Gollum. Taking the man's head under his arm and against his side, he then kicked the mans stomach sending him slightly airborne, and then with that momentum Gollum jumped backwards. And before Gollum's own back hit the wooden floor he made sure to pull on the man's body so that his face hit the floor first, softening Gollums fall as the two of them then crashed to the floor with a hard bang.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The man yelled in pain and pulled his head out from under Gollum's arm. Seeing it Gollum grabbed his head with his left arm, placed his big muscular left thumb into the mans ear, and with his right palm he smacked the man on the other ear.

Instantly a hard slap echoed throughout the hall as the man's eardrums were blown out. The man staggered back and Gollum kicked him away, as the other man came to try and kick Gollum in the face.

Gollum though was quick to grab a hold of his foot, and wrap his own legs around the man's leg. And then with a simple push of his powerful legs he forced the man to the ground, and by placing both hands together and atop the man's knee, Gollum pulled. He pulled so hard on the leg that it bent backwards breaking the knee, "Crack!" Thus immobilising the man totally.

Gollum pulling his knees against his chest build up momentum and kicked the air sending himself back up to his feet. When he was instantly assaulted by a feeling of danger as his women yelled.

"Gollum Watch out!"

Turning sideways Gollum tried to look left and there noticed a large man dressed in wolf fur coming straight at him with two small axes in hand. And before he could react the two axes landed onto his left side, only stopping as they hit his hard spine.

Blood spurted out of Gollum's mouth and immense pain hit him. But still he managed to bend himself slightly to the left, to Wolfsents horror who found his axes now locked in place, as Gollum then reached out to grab at the man.

Wolfsent acting quickly let go of the axes and stepped back, but immediately got a face full of blood as Gollum spat on him.

Gollum grabbing a hold of the axes and with gritted teeth pulled them out as more guards rushed into the room. Feeling weak he felt like falling to his knees, but just then his body was grabbed by his women.

"Gollum are you alright? You're bleeding?"

Maud asked in worry as Davina looked upon him with worry also. Seeing them both worried for him brought a huge smile on Gollum's face as he took both axes in his hands and said.

"Yeah, Gollum is fine."

Looking at wolfsent who stood not far from him and the group of guards that were spreading out from the entrance into a huge shield wall, Gollum though not the smartest of individuals knew that he was in a bad spot here.

Thinking quickly he shrugged off his womens hands and turned to look at the man sitting upon the throne. Before the throne were his two earlier opponents rolling around in pain on the floor, but even so as Gollum's and the kings eyes met the man merely seemed disgusted as he frowned at Gollum.

However Gollum just showed a smile as he charged at the man axes drawn and ready to cut him down. But surprisingly to Gollum the man didn't show any fear, his muscles merely flexed and hands turned into fists as he stood up to his feet ready to face Gollum.

Crossing the axes before his body Gollum came within striking distance of the man and sent his axes at him intent to cut an cross shaped wound straight into the mans bare chest. But to Gollum's surprise the man pulled his body back only slightly, but enough to avoid the axes that went right past his body.

In response Gollum received a hard straight kick to his stomach that sent him flying back before his women.

"Gollum no!"

Davina yelled in distress as Maud let out a gasp.

Landing on his knees Gollum looked fiercely at the King who in response showed a frown. Though his eyes didn't seem to be upon Gollum, but Gollum's wounds that were spilling out blood onto the king's floor.

Gollum wasn't sure who this leader or King of these people was, but after receiving a kick from him Gollum knew that this man was strong. Despite his uncaring attitude he was truly a king for a good reason it seemed.

However there was no backing down now, and so Gollum pushed his women aside once again and prepared to attack the King again. When suddenly the sounds of light and hurried foot steps came from the side, and a young teenage girl came running before Gollum yelling.

"Stop it, don't hurt my father!"

She was dressed in a simple but beautiful dress and stood at Gollum's level, letting him see her fully. She had good well developed proportions wavy blonde hair, green eyes, a heart shaped face with a button nose and juicy full lips, plus beautiful long eyelashes.

It was a look that made Gollum halt for a moment, especially as her eyes looked so fiercely upon him. He simply could not move against such beauty without reason, but suddenly one of his axes was snatched from his hand by Maud.

And before he even realised what had fully happened Maud ran to grab the teenage girl, and with force turned her around. With the back of the girls head pressed against Mauds big breasts and an axe to her neck, Maud held the girl seemingly hostage as she yelled.

"Let us go grandfather, or else I swear that I will cut Sini's fucking throat. She's your favourite daughter isn't she grandfather, so think carefully or else!"

Ghasps were heard around the room, the guards seemed to be in shock as one questioned.

"Princess Maud how can you do this, that's you're niece? She shares the same blood with you, you're family!"

Maud though didn't care about this as she merely glanced at the men, and then looked to the king for a response.

However even still the Kings eyes mostly seemed to be on Gollum and his wound, as he then spoke up and said.

"Fine, if you really desire not to be here that much then just leave already! I merely wished to help you by selling you off to wealthy men so that you would have had good stable lives in the future, but if this is the man that you wish to follow then do so, I don't care. But please leave quickly before his blood ruins more of my floor!"

Everyone seemed stunned by the words, as Maud questioned.

"What? So we can just go?"

The King gritting his teeth while still only looking at Gollum yelled.

"Yeah, please for God's sakes, just leave! How many times do I need to say it? Leave already!"

Maud though being unsure of this kept a tight hold on the Princess as they slowly moved to Gollum's side. Then Maud pushed the Princess into Gollum's arms and said.

"Take her and let's go."

Gollum seeing the stunned Princess in his arms now hesitated for but a second, after which he dropped his axe and lifted the girl onto his shoulder.

"Iikh!"

The Princess squeaked out as Gollum lifted her. And then with her on Gollum's shoulder, with Maud leading the way, and Davina following behind the four began making it out of the main hall.

Wolfsent and the guards were hesitant to make way, but they didn't dare to make a move. Following their kings orders they all made way letting the four exit the great hall.

Davina looking behind herself still though was quick to ask Maud.

"Wait this isn't a trap, is it sister? Surely grandfather is not just letting us go that easily?"

Maud however sounded confident as she said.

"Yes he is. You saw how he was looking at the floor. His narcissistic tendencys will not let him fight anyone within the great hall in fear of ruining his things. The only thing he cares about is his things and that's it, his children come second."

Princess Sini hugging Gollum's muscular body for dear life, in somewhat annoyance agreed with Maud as she said.

"Yeah what Maud says is true. But you know I thought that you guys were some kind of real intruders that had come to usurp my father. I mean you really scared me there for a second, but how come its just you girls? I didn't hear father say anything to me about selling you girls off before hand? And who's this man who is carrying me anyway, Gollum was it? Like seriously why are your ears so long and how come your so muscular as well? Oh and did you just like seriously break in here on your own, and like totally kill my father's men? Oh my god, that's so manly."

Walking down the dirt hill while surrounded by the towns people who all held pitchforks and axes now in hand. Princess Sini began curiously touching and having a feel of Gollum's back side, as Davina smacked her hands in annoyance saying.

"Stop it Sini. His our man ok, you can't touch him like that. Just be a good hostage and be quiet till we make it out of town."

Sini hearing Davina's words protested by saying. "No way. Why should I need to listen to you sister Davina? I'm a Princess and I'm your aunt, so you should listen to me instead. And as it so happens I don't wanna go home anymore. I want to see where you girls live, it seems like so exciting. Oh and I heard the men saying something about there being an ancient monster or something within your place, like oh my god. You have to show it to me also!"

Davina instantly protested. "No way. After we get out those gates your going back to Grandfather ok."

Sini though merely showed a devious smile, and as they came to the gate while being followed by a large group of guards and towns folk. Gollum seeing that the way was clear, placed Sini down, but the girl hugged Gollum's arm forcefully as she protested.

"Hey you can't set me down like that. I didn't give you permission yet, Gollum. I demand you carry me to your lair, now you brute. Besides as the aunt of these girls I demand to see that you are able to keep them safe and provide for them."

Seeing her actions Davina was annoyed, while the town people and guards were horrified as one of them yelled.

"No Princess, get away from him! He has already killed many men, his dangerous!"

Sini though just shook her head and said.

"No his not! Can't you see that he has completely been stopped by my charm's. This man cannot move or do anything if I say so. Isn't that right Gollum, you brute."

Gollum looking at the girl clinging to his right arm knew not what to do or say. He feared that if he were to push the girl then he might hurt her, and especially knowing that she was related to his women, he didn't dare to do anything harmful towards her. He indeed was at her mercy just then.

Luckily Maud quickly stepped into save the day for Gollum as she said.

"Fine Sini you can come with us. But you cannot complain ok. Its a long way to Moria from here by foot. And I know that you have never walked beyond these walls so be prepared for your legs to get sore."

Once more Davina was stunned.

"But sister."

She complained, but Maud merely sushhed her with one hand. And Sini happily hopped into the air while holding onto Gollum's arm as she cheered.

"Yeah, thanks sister's. You will not regret this."

Gollum still feeling quite lost just started then following Maud, while Davina held his left arm and Sini held onto his right arm as they started walking back to Moria.

Looking behind himself he could see the confused towns people just looking at one another and shrugging their shoulders, as they soon returned to their daily lives.

For Gollum the walk felt nice, along the way he was able to slowly start healing his wounds. Although as he did so he was forced to listen to the girls bickering with one another, as Davina was quick to start bragging about Moria and it's greatness compared to Drownhold, while Sini countered by starting to brag about her beauty compared to Davina's. While Gollum merely tried to walk in silence.

Back in Drownhold the King though was already wet towel in hand trying to wash away the blood stains from his wooden floor. Furiously he scrubbed at the floor, but deep within he feared that his floor would not be the same ever again. Truly for the King and his floor it was quite a tragic day, one that he was sure to get compensation for from the pale creature Gollum in the future.
