Sauron's Trial
This is not actually about Sauron's words, but... the idea came to me from someone's post up there, that it could all look like this...
„Good morning, Mandos your honor. The crown will plainly show the prisoner who now stands before you was caught red-handed showing feelings of an almost Maia nature. This will not do.“
„Call Aulë!“
Aulë: „I always said he'd come to no good in the end your honor. If they'd let me have my way I could have flayed him into shape. But my hands were tied, the wicked Númenoreans and Noldor let him get away with murder. Let me hammer him today!“
„Call Celebrimbor!“
Celebrimbor: „You little winky, now you're in it! Now I hope they throw away the key. You should have told me the truth 'bout yourself rightaway, but no! You had to make your own Ring! Have you created any Ringwraith lately? Just five minutes, Mandos your honor, Him and me, alone.“
„Call Melkor!“
Melkor: „Baaaaaaaaaabe! Come to pappy baby, let me hold you in my arms. M'lord I never wanted him to get in any trouble. Why'd he ever have to leave me? Mandos, your honor, let me take him home.“
Mandos: „The evidence before the court is incontrovertible, there's no need for the jury to retire. In all my years of judging I have never heard before of someone more deserving out the full penalty of law. Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear, I sentence you to be exposed before your enemies. You are to be transformed into a hobbit and expelled from here. SEND HIM TO SHIRE!"
