In all the deeds of Melkor the Morgoth upon Arda, in his vast works and in the deceits of his cunning, Sauron had a part, and was only less evil than his master in that for long he served another and not himself. But in after years he rose like a shadow of Morgoth and a ghost of his malice, and walked behind him on the same ruinous path down into the Void.

"You were welding something. You wore a leather apron and apart from that a pair of shorts. In front of your face was a dark metal shield.

When you emerged from behind it, you were wearing a black patch over your right eye, and your face was screwed up as if in pain.

Is your eye hurt? I asked.

It’s inflamed, you replied, and I had to go to the hospital. It happens with this—and you held up the welder.

You were wearing heavy leather boots without socks and with their laces undone.

Where are you from? you asked me.

I told you and explained how a guy in the petrol station, seeing I was taking this road that nobody takes, had asked me to deliver the battery.

You looked me up and down and murmured, thank you.

How long do you have to keep the patch on your eye? I asked.

Until I find gold! you said.

Then, smiling, you slowly strode towards me and took it off."

Pisaeng: I can't help thinking that if you dated some girl and not me you wouldn't have to worry or feel guilty.

Kawi: possibly? But it doesn't matter because you're the one I want. I don't want to lose you anymore.

Later probably:
