Do either of you have any regrets? And what is one thing you would say to each other first if you were together again after so long (whether that’s Melkor escaping the Void or Sauron joining him).

I regret we did not run from war, as far and as fast as we could; that we did not spend our immortality together in exile, carving a space for ourselves and my master’s children somewhere where we could be alone and free. 

And should we meet again I would say to him: ‘Destroy me. All that is left of me is yours to take. Let me give you the strength to finish what was begun.’

How can I regret what I am, what I was made to be? In madness, solitude, and darkness I have seen the truth; that I have always been my Father’s tool, in His service all along. There was never an escape from this. Fate is crueler than I ever was.

When we meet again I will say nothing to my beloved, for I will be beyond speech and recognition. But if he loves me still, when I am what I will become, then it will not matter. I will accept his sacrifice, and we will be together at the end of all things. 

Sorry, Sauron, I did not mean to offend. Although, I must say that you actually look quite nice when angry. But I was merely trying to ascertain what strengths I might bring your cause. What rewards do you offer your loyal followers?

Well we have a great dental plan…

Ah. In that case I must apologize for my rudeness! I didn’t realize you were seeking our favor. Welcome.

Reward is based on merit. Provide us with loyal service, or perhaps useful information, and bounty shall follow. You have my word. 

What is your greatest strength? How about weakness?

And who art thou? I like not this line of questioning, it reeks of the unclever fumbling of spies. 

Our greatest strength by far is numbers, and the might of our fortress. Our weakness, the breadth of territory we seek to conquer and the brevity of orcish lives. 

You have your answer–facts that any child knows– and you’ll have no more. Do not think I will forget your face. 

I also love your Sauron. Something I’ve been wondering. In your mind does Annatar look just like your Sauron, or did he take on a different form?

Oh gosh! *w* thank you? ❤

He does look different! Unfortunately I have yet to adequately draw him as Annatar XD My ideas for that guise have changed considerably over time, and it took me a long time to settle on one design. 

Right now my best description for Annatar would be “professorial silver fox”. >3>`
