"I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor. You cannot pass." The Balrog made no answer. "Oh, is that how you're going to be?" asked Gandalf. "I'll make you talk, you miserable troll." The Balrog made no answer. "So, what's that shadow you're wearing? Are those wings, or did your mother sew them on for you? You think you've got wings? Let's see you do a little flying. Fly for us, little birdie, little fairy birdie!" The Balrog made no answer. "Ooh, you're carrying a whip. You make me so scared, mister big Balrog-man. So who uses the whip in your family? Your wife use it on you? You enjoy that, huh?" The Balrog made no answer. "And what's with all the fire from the nostrils? You've taken up smoking? Well, if you think you can mess with me, you've really been smoking something." The Balrog made no answer. "And let me tell you, that's one of the ugliest faces I've seen in a long time, and I've seen plenty. I've seen prettier mugs on a giant spider. Ooh, did that hit close to home, huh? Am I talking about your mommy? Giant spider your mommy, huh Bal-baby?" The Balrog made no answer. "Truth hurts, don't it? Why do they call you Ball-rog, anyway? Have you got any? Or are you really the Ball-less rog?" The Balrog made no answer. "What are you waiting for, anyway? Need all your Orcs and Trolls to back you up? Afraid to face me in single combat, huh? How about you and me just have it out, one to one, flamo a flamo? Are you a cowardly chicken-hearted Balrog?" The Balrog made no answer. "Cat got your tongue? Or are you one? A little pussy-cat Balrog? Want some milk, pussy? Pussy pussy pussy! Balrog is a pussy!" The Balrog made no answer. Gandalf came dashing back across the bridge. "I have done all that I could," he said to Aragorn. "But I have met my match, and have nearly been destroyed. The Flame of Anor is of no use against the Killfile spells of Udûn..." ###### From: "Jonas Thorell" Newsgroups: rec.arts.books.tolkien References: <382210f4@alijku02.edvz.uni-linz.ac.at> <38231C33.DB98EF71@nospam.west.sun.com> <7vvenr$f70$1@ash.prod.itd.earthlink.net> Subject: Re: Wielder of the Flame of Anor (was Re: Innate or the Ring?)
