The thing was an elf!
At least it looked like one, the face was haggard and more pale, but when the thing opened it's mouth Mornovarion paled. The thing had fangs! Mornovarion was shocked with a sudden realistation... Vampire!
'But they were all destroyed in the War of Wrath, weren't they?' thought Mornovarion.
"I know what you're thinking," the vampire said, "Vampires were all destroyed in the War of Wrath, Yes?"
Mornovarion nodded weakly.
"Well, we weren't actually destroyed, as such, we simply lost all our powers of shapechanging. And the elves took us and trapped us in caves, deep beneath the Earth. So when Lord Sauron rose again, he rescued us from our tombs. We joined to his cause, as have you..."
Now an orc entered the small room, carrying a branding iron and rammed it against Mornovarion's shoulder, as he screamed in pain, he could see the Vampire laughing.
And then he passed out...
