Price.

Everything has a price, and can be bought or sold.

But a ring that gives the wearer whatever they desire, whether it be through conquest. Money, power, long life, even magic; It was there's. And the price for getting what you wanted? You're eternal service to the Lord of shadows, and master of Barad-dúr.

A cost too high for many yet for those blinded by greed like the Nine kings of men. There own greed caused them to become something feared.

Will the power of friendship stem the tide of the ring's unrelenting corruption and subjugation it forces the Wearer to endure?

Or will they see a good man become something, unrecognizable, and learn what it means to truly fear a blackrider.

I do not own Lord of the Rings, or MLP.

Nor do I own the cover art, the owner is below. And of course hasbro owns MLP and Embracer Group and Warner Bros own Lord of the rings but not the books.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien made the books.

One more thing!

Anyone who actually did read the original of this story.

"Am I human or am I Nazgúl."

Yes that Nightmare was my first story, and after re reading it; it shows. 😂

Hopefully this time I actually made something that isn't a dumpster fire. But something that hopefully for all to enjoy!

I guess that first attempt was feeding on readers dread and fear of every chapter I posted. 😂
