(Oh, so how are you going to bring him to Elrond half elven? He is the only one in middle-earth capable of healing such a wound. Besides, Darimdam as a not hobbit would be turned before you could get there. And even if you did arrive in time, he'd still turn if Elrond could not find the broken off blade tip. Also, how'd Dolenus get athelas? It only grew in places where the men of numenor had cities.)

Dolenus runs up with Darimdam in his arms. Arahad said "What is wrong with Darimdam! His arrow wound was nothing like this!" Gandalf solemnly spoke "He has been stabbed by a Morgul blade. He has only about a few minutes ere he turns into a lesser Wraith. We cannot help him."

The nine, who had used the fragment of blade in his chest to track Darimdam, were poised to claim their prize. Darimdam suddenly shuddered and his body vanished, only to be replaced by a shadowy, corrupt version of his former self.

He spoke. (For a reference to what Darimdam now sounds like, think of the Nazgul who talks at the Ford of the Bruinen in the movies.) "You will not be harmed if you hand over the ring!" The Nazgul and 30 Black Uruks attack. One throws Darimdam a sword. He draws and aims a savage blow at Arahad, who parrys the blow and enters a defensive stance. An intense and desperate fight begins. Arahad grabs a torch from the fire and holds it in his off hand. Determined to leave his mark on the mockery of his dead friend, he pushes the Wraith's sword out of the way and burned it's face. It recoiled in pain. However, the fellowship is forced to retreat, and ran for Rohan. The orcs were all dead, and the Nazgul were forced to turn towards mordor as their robes were shredded and were thus in danger of losing shape. Darimdam heads to Orthanc, knowing that he could not defeat the fellowship alone. Two days of running later, Gandalf was content that they could safely rest. Arahad asked "Is there any hope for Darimdam, Gandalf?" "No. He will remain that way as long as Sauron lives, and then he will cease to exist." The wizard replied. "We must head to Edoras, as it is in peril."
