Disclaimer: Tolkien owns all.

In the beginning we were apart, and apart we remain to this day. We worked ever against each other, building and ruining, forging and destroying, making and marring. You and yours are the bringers of a thing so wonderfully despicable, so hideously desirable that I hated to love it-
-no, I loved to hate it-
that I fled from it and unceasingly coveted it. I sought to destroy it and to possess it, only to be caught in an essence opposite. You know of what passed, and yet I wish to thank you. You gave me cause for chaos, reason for ruin, and desire for that which I may not have.
If you would loosen this collar, I will show you gratitude the only way I can.
