Summary: Saruman has turned to the dark side, he knows Gandalf is the more powerful wizard, and would never turn away from the light. His only chance in defeating the Gray Wizard is in taking control of his soul, and to do that he must seduce him. Gandalf entered into Middle Earth as one of the Istari, and was deemed the wisest of the order by Galadriel. Gandalf was the bearer of Narya, the Ring of Fire, given to him by Cirdan when he arrived in Middle Earth. Yet Gandalf was not alone. Saruman came to Middle Earth as the Chief of the Istari, and was the head of the White Council. But for many years, Saruman concealed his secret desires for power and glory, and for Gandalf. Saruman despised Gandalf, for I believe he knew who was the more powerful, and he knew he could never sway Gandalf to aid him in his evil plots, yet that never stopped his desire for him. Saruman believed that by possessing Gandalf's body, that somehow he could also possess his thoughts, or maybe even his very soul. The White Wizard stood staring out the open window, but seeing nothing. His own thoughts blinded him from the view of the moors outside. The sunlight was cast off his white robes so that anyone looking at him would have been blinded by its brilliance, yet his soul had long ago turned blacker than the darkest night. Slowly he came out of his reverie, feeling someone's approach, no, not someone, but Gandalf. He turned slowly away from the window as he began to speak. "Do not bother knocking Gandalf, you may enter. I wondered when you would seek me out. I have felt the turmoil of your mind, it radiates from you like a dark cloud, will you now speak to me of your troubles?" Gandalf started for but a mere moment, searching the eyes of his friend and mentor. He had not known that anyone knew anything was amiss, but realized that he could hide little from Saruman. He crossed the room slowly, taking moments to gather his thoughts before speaking. "I feel the dark forces growing stronger. The winds of change are upon us, and a battle greater than any seen before looms on the horizon. You and I will both play large roles in this battle, yet....." Gandalf stopped, unable to say more. Somehow he felt that as the battle began to rage changes would come between himself and his master, that lines would be drawn, never to be crossed again. Yet even as he was given a glimpse of the future he refused to believe it, for believing it would be saying that his master, his friend.... He couldn't even finish the thought. Saruman moved closer, and gently placed his hand on Gandalf's shoulder. "My friend, the future can never be truly revealed to us, we can only glimpse what may come to pass. But nothing, no fate is ever written in stone." Gandalf nodded in agreement, yet his heart still felt heavy. He turned slowly, preparing to beg leave, when Saruman's voice stopped him. "Will you come with me for a moment? I have great need to share something with you, something that might help clear your thoughts, and thus ease your mind." Gandalf looked into the eyes of Saruman, saw only honesty and concern there, then slowly he nodded his assent. Saruman led him from the room, down a long corridor to his more private chambers. Gandalf felt uneasy, as he had never entered Saruman's private suites. Why should he be bade entrance now? As if Saruman could hear his thoughts, the white wizard turned to him. "I have allowed no one to enter these rooms in many a year. Inside I keep tools so powerful that I almost fear using them myself, let alone allow some young trainee with good intentions to destroy all we have worked to achieve." Saruman stopped before a grand door. The wood was inlaid with vines and flowers of which grew all over Middle Earth, and seemed to glow with a inner light of its own. Saruman waved his hand over the door, causing the vines to shimmer like silver, and the flowers into gold. The door opened without a sound, and through the doorway Gandalf could see many wonders, that which he believed at one time to only be ancient lore. Saruman bade him enter, and moved towards the center of the room where a great pillar stood. Placed atop that pillar laid a clear globe; yet Gandalf knew he looked upon the great Orb. "Ahhhh, I see you recognize that Great Orb! Wonderful! But do you know its usage?" "Neh!" replied Gandalf, "I had not truly believed in its existence until just now! Myth tells it can see a clear path into the future, one that is not to be broken. Is that why you have brought me here?" "Very good my friend! Indeed that is why I have brought you here. You seem to need its answers. I pray it can help you to choose your path, or waylay your fears." Saruman moved closer to the Orb, and gently held his hand over it. The clear globe filled with a misty white substance, floating like clouds, then thickening. Slowly the white began to change, soon colors of red and blue bled into the white, then followed by green, yellow, and purple. As the colors mixed, forms began to take shape. Gandalf moved closer, trying to catch a glimpse of that which was held within. Soon the room around him faded, until his eyes held only the Orb. Gandalf felt pulled by the Great Orb, as if it beckoned him closer still, or, ney, as if it were drawing him inside. Gandalf suddenly felt his feet leave the floor, his entire body seemed to be floating, yet he was at peace. His mind cleared of all thoughts, his eyes were now filled with mist, and could see nothing else. Saruman's laugh filled the chamber, yet was unheard by Gandalf. Raising his staff, he used it to guide Gandalf towards the bed. If all went well he would soon possess Gandalf, body, mind and soul. Gandalf felt the soft mattress beneath him as he was lain upon it. Through the mist he could see Saruman approach, yet he could still not form thoughts, and for some reason that didn't bother him. Images flashed before his eyes, intense feelings of pleasure began to flow over him, and desire was building within him. Visions of Saruman floated across his mind, Saruman naked, held beneath him. Saruman giving and taking pleasures untold. Gandalf knew not where these thoughts stemmed from, nor did he care. The only thing he knew was that he must become one with Saruman. A satisfied smile spread across Saruman's face. He plan was working better than he could have ever dreamed. He could feel the desire radiate from Gandalf, and knew his time had come. Long had he awaited this moment, and now that it was upon him, he wanted to savor it. Saruman leaned over Gandalf and their eyes met. Gandalf held his hands out to the Great White Wizard, and drew him closer. Soon they were caught in a powerfully magic kiss. The mere touch of skin upon skin sent sparks into the air. Robes vanished into thin air, and soon the two bodies were intertwined. Hands and mouths were used to touch anywhere and everywhere at the same time. No inch of skin was left untouched. Saruman lowered his mouth over Gandalf's hardened staff. Gandalf could feel himself close to shattering. His entire body felt on fire, and a pleasure deeper than he'd ever known filled him. His thoughts were of nothing more than finding fulfillment, and in giving the same pleasure. As Saruman's mouth moved over him his hips began to lift. Saruman pulled at him harder, allowing Gandalf to fill his mouth, and yet seeking more. His hands roamed over Gandalf's body, circling his erect nipple, moving lower to prepare him for entry. He entered him gently with one slick finger, pulling it in and out with the same rhythm of his mouth. He could feel Gandalf tighten and relax, could feel his pleasure building, and thus feel his own starting to grow. He bade Gandalf to roll over, and Gandalf had no will to fight. Saruman entered Gandalf with great care, for there must be no pain in the taking, lest his soul not be released. He began moving within him, picking up the pace as his own need grew stronger. Soon his thoughts were only of release. Such pleasure he never dreamed of, so much, in fact, that he forgot to murmur the magic spell as Gandalf cried out his own release. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Saruman paced his chamber angrily. He could not believe his folly. His perfect chance had been wasted! He had allowed human emotions to control him, he who was above such earthly pleasures. How could this have happened? Gandalf must be powerful indeed. 'Well'... he thought, 'next time I will be better prepared, and yes, my dear friend, there will be a next time. Indeed the winds of change are upon us, and if I can not possess you, then I will destroy you!!' Gandalf awoke in his rooms, as from a great nightmare. Yet, as he moved to sit up, the dream faded from his memory. Somehow he could not remember why he was resting in his rooms, he needed to see Saruman! A sudden vision of Saruman, naked, loomed before his eyes, and Gandalf shook his head as if to clear it, and yet he could feel his body growing in response. Why did he suddenly desire Saruman? The End
