You wake to find yourself in the company of none other than the grey wizard of Middle Earth himself, who does his best to help you relax and possibly fall sleep (despite the nature of your current situation).
Side note: as a fan of the books, it's been decades since I read them, so I did my best to refresh my memory (thank you internet!), though there still might be a few things I got wrong. I tried to stay true to and honor the character & universe for the most part, so there's just a sprinkling of my humor, and not much of a crossover between my universe and Tolkien's, except for wherever this scenario takes place, which could loosely tie things together.

    • @@chadderbug7587 in the books, no. He has no idea when someone puts on the ring. That's why Gollum could put it on many times during the centuries he spent with it and Bilbo could use it during The Hobbit without Sauron being alerted. In the books all creatures subservient to Sauron are drawn towards it at all times which is why the wraiths know where Frodo is. There is one part in the book where Frodo comes across an enchanted stone throne where someone could project their vision across the lands of Gondor, and when the magic of that chair is combined with the ring, that is the one time where Sauron actually gets a lock on its usage, but that's more because of the throne's magic rather than the ring.
