Entry in the Storytelling #03 theme on BudgetPixel.

Memories of Mordor - A Very Clever, Very Wise, Very, VERY Handsome Wizard on a Trip, making new friends: A) A Flaming Eye B) Ugluk and Murgash - Two Fine Lads C) Three Very Silent Guys- But I seem to have 'melted the ice' with two of them. D) 'My Precious' No, really, that's all that little guy was saying. Along with constanly coughing, which sounded something like 'gollum! gollum' Seemed to have an obsession with some kindof ring. E) After the Trip: It appears Witches appreciate such Derring-Dos F) Aaaand: I hit the Jackpot!!! 😉 Also, I appeared in a youtube channel, talking about it - the trip, I mean, not the uhhh... aftermath... see it here: https://budgetpixel.com/p/93624
