No. 89757 Full Version

Year 3005

When I opened my eyes, the system told me that the girl right before my eyes is my Master, and I must always be loyal to her. "Master, I will never betray you!" This was the first sentence I said. She smiled back, and looked into my eyes, I was mesmerized. From her eyes, I saw the reflection of my sky-blue eyes. And from her eyes, I saw myself smiling, and two deep dimples as well. "You're such a cute robot," She said. She then thought for awhile, and suddenly said ¡"I'm gonna call you, 89757, my robot, 89757" From that day onwards, I was called "No. 89757". I follow my Master everywhere she goes to, I help her do the housework, I cook for her, and I make her happy. When she's happy, she will always say, "I really like you!" I do not understand what it means by liking, maybe it's the feeling master feels about me.I'm sure Master is a very lovable girl, she has a very innocent and cute look in her. She will always lie in my arms and fall asleep. Her mouth will always have a smile on it, and it looks like it holds a lot of happiness in it.

One day, Master brought home a guy, she told me that he was her boyfriend, and asked me to serve him too. Of course I will obey her. The guy was tall and handsome, and very busy. He always made calls when Master leaves for a short while. And the person on the other line sounds like a girl. Ever since Master started dating the guy, everytime she starts talking about him, my system will always slow down, I will always have this uncomfortable feeling, but this feeling goes off after a while.

One day, when Master came home, her eyes were red and puffy, and her face was very pale. She was unhappy, so I dare not ask any questions. When I walked in front of her, she hugged me and cried on my shoulder. I didn't know what to do, my system told me that I should hug her too. At the time I hugged her back, my system stopped for a time of 0.125 seconds. But then, it returned back to normal again. But I have a weird feeling in my body.

Master cried and told me, "He cheated me, he cheated me, he has plenty of girlfriends, why must he cheat me! 89757, do you know what I really need now is you? You will never betray me, right?" "Yes, Master, I will never betray you." In the end, Master lay in my arms and slept. The days went back to normal again, but the only thing that was missing was Master's sweet smile. Then one day, the guy came back again. Master was so happy, she thought that he came back to apologized to her, and plead her for forgiveness. But, all he said was he wanted to take back the things that belonged to him. I chased him out of the house violently, and threw out the things that belonged to him out of the balcony. When the guy left, Master started crying again. She said, "I'm a person that no one loves!" A weird thing once again happened to my system, it stopped for 0.3 seconds. After the 0.3 seconds, I said something Master couldn't believe, "No Master, you're wrong, I love you." Once I said that sentence, Master stopped crying instantly. Silence weighed heavily in the air. Then she said, "If only you were not a robot." Then, she walked to her bedroom and locked herself in there.

I know that I have fallen in love with my Master. Maybe love is not that surprising after all. But, robots do not have feelings. Robots can cry, laugh, be unhappy, and get drunk. But besides having all these, there will be no other feelings. And no robot can piece up the words "I love you" together. I've contracted a virus in my system.

After discovering the virus, I take care of my master more than the usual times. But although she's happy, her eyes will still have a sign of sadness.

In the night, Master was drunk. She laid in my arms once again and said to me, "Do you know that I think I've fallen in love with you too? But, you are a robot. You do not have any feelings. Isn't that silly of me? 89757, do you understand my feelings? Only when I'm lying in your arms, can I feel warmth and safety." When I heard what she said, my system stopped again, this time it stopped for 1.12 seconds. Robots are not supposed to have feeling, I know that if I do not get rid of the virus, not long after, I will disappear from this world. But I don't wish to do it.

On the second day, when master was awake, I told her, "Master, I've contracted a virus in my system. I have the feelings of a human. I've fallen in love with you without knowing it myself. I love you." I held my head down low. She started crying again, but her face held a smile on it. We happily spend the days together, and my condition was getting serious.

Then finally, I really can't take it anymore, my system became slower day by day. I laid on the bed and told my master, "Mas..ter, I'm...gonna..dis..appear..soon." But my face still had the two deep dimples on it, and my eyes were still sky-blue. She cried and said, "No, you won't. I won't let anything happen to you!" My eyes started to get blur.

When I woke up, we were at the shop that master bought me at, Master's eyes were filled with tears. She said, "Later, I'm gonna insert something into your body, tomorrow when you wake up, everything will be alright. And, you will then turn into a real human." When I heard what master said, I was very happy. I slept soundly. Thinking of tomorrow when I wake up, I will be a real human. Then, I can hold my Master's hands and kiss her forehead.

But, when I opened my eyes, the whole place was desert like. The whole house was full of dust. Why even though only one day has passed, but it looks like it was so long. When I stood up, I saw a letter beside me.

"89757,

You're awake. I'm sorry, I could not wait for you to wake up. A thousand years is simply too long, a human can only live till a certain time only. I cannot wait any longer. A robot takes a thousand years to change into a human. I can't live without you, So, I rather you take a thousand years to change into a human, than to see you disappear from the world.

All these years, I've seen you sleeping soundly everyday, seeing your dimples. I know that I'm not alone, because I have your love with me, because you said you love me, and you will never betray me. Today, I'm very sad, because my life is going to end here, I will not be able to see you open your eyes, and hear you say, "Master, I will never betray you!"

"89757, please forgive me, maybe you will blame me, when you wake up, you will find me not by your side anymore. But my love will always be with you. So do not feel sad, because now you can use feelings to love someone.

89757, I love you"

Tear filled my eyes, this is the first time I'm crying.

Master, do you know that, I do not wish to lose you too? So, I rather see you and disappear from earth, than to see you not by my side when I wake up a thousand years later.

Master, this has been too long, cause it used a total of one thousand years.

Shadowfax

Shadowfax in the New Line film


Greatest of all horses at the end of the Third Age; steed of Gandalf. Shadowfax was the chief of the magnificent breed of horses known as the mearas. The mearas were descended from Felarof, a wild horse tamed by Eorl, the first King of Rohan. It was believed that the ancestors of the mearas were brought to Middle-earth from the Undying Lands by Orome, one of the Valar.

Shadowfax was a beautiful horse. In the daylight his coat appeared silver, while at night it was a shadowy grey that made Shadowfax nearly invisible in the dark. He was light-footed and extremely swift and could run great distances without tiring.

Shadowfax was the finest horse in Rohan, but no one had ever been able to ride him. On September 20, 3018, Gandalf met with King Theoden of Rohan to warn him of the Wizard Saruman's treachery. Theoden would not listen to Gandalf and threw him out, telling him to take any horse and go. Gandalf saw Shadowfax running in the fields, and over a period of three days he persuaded the horse to bear him. Shadowfax would not wear a saddle or bridle, so Gandalf rode bareback. They went north at great speed, traveling all the way from Rohan to the Shire in only six days.

In the rough terrain of the Ettenmoors, Gandalf released Shadowfax. Shadowfax returned home, arriving in Rohan on February 24, 3019. But Shadowfax had become friends with Gandalf and would come if the Wizard called him.

On February 30, Shadowfax was in the south of Rohan when he became aware that Gandalf was directing his thoughts to him, bidding him to come quickly to Fangorn Forest. During the night, Shadowfax encountered Arod and Hasufel - the horses of Aragorn and Legolas that had gone astray from their riders. The two horses greeted Shadowfax with joy. The next morning Gandalf whistled and Shadowfax came to him, bringing Arod and Hasufel along.

Gandalf rode Shadowfax to Meduseld, where he freed King Theoden from Saruman's influence. Theoden offered a gift to Gandalf in gratitude. Gandalf requested Shadowfax and Theoden agreed.

Riding Shadowfax, Gandalf gathered the scattered Riders of Rohan and brought them to the Battle of Helm's Deep at dawn on March 4. When Saruman's forces saw the White Rider descending down the slope toward them, they were terrified. The Men surrendered and the Orcs fled into the forest of Huorns and were never seen again.

The next day, Pippin Took looked into the palantir and saw Sauron, and Gandalf took the young Hobbit up on Shadowfax and rode swiftly with him to Minas Tirith. When they reached the City, Shadowfax was housed in the stables on the sixth level. On March 10, Gandalf rode out of the City on Shadowfax to rescue Faramir and his Men from the Winged Nazgul. When the Pelennor Fields were overrun by the Enemy forces on March 13, Gandalf rode out once more to the aid of Faramir's retreating rear-guard.

At dawn on March 15, the Great Gate of Minas Tirith was broken and the Lord of the Nazgul rode into the City. Gandalf was there to confront him, mounted on Shadowfax. Shadowfax was the only free horse in Middle-earth who was able to endure the terror of the Nazgul and he stood unmoving. Then the Riders of Rohan arrived and the Lord of the Nazgul departed. Gandalf rode Shadowfax up through the streets of Minas Tirith to save Faramir from the funeral pyre set by Denethor.

After the War of the Ring, in September of 3021, Gandalf rode Shadowfax to the Grey Havens. Gandalf boarded a ship and sailed to the Undying Lands on September 29. It is likely that Gandalf was permitted to take Shadowfax with him and that the horse accompanied his rider into the West.

Other Names:
Also called Shadowfax the Great and Prince of Horses.

Etymology:
The name Shadowfax means "shadowy grey coat." It is an anglicized version of the name Sceadu-faex in the language of Rohan. The word fax is an obsolete English word meaning "hair."
