Happy birthday Isonami , take the day off you deserve it . <| sep |> FYI guitar center has them for the same price online and you can pick it up in store . It says 149 . 99 a piece but when you click on it the price changes to 99 . 99 . For those who have a guitar center around them and don ' t want to wait . <| sep |> Okay , here ' s my take on the passage . What it was could not be seen , it was like a great shadow , in the middle of which was a dark form of manshape maybe , yet greater . Okay . So far we have something shaped like a man , but larger at the center of a great shadow . There exists around this manshape a great mass of shadow . As it jumps over the fire it ignites , and rushes towards them . Then His enemy halted again , facing him and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings . . So this mass of shadow we described earlier , the thing that surrounds the actual person of the balrog like a cloud ? It has expanded . It has reached out , wing like . After some back and forth with Gandalf . The fire in it seemed to die , but the darkness grew . It stepped forward slowly onto the bridge and suddenly drew itself to a great height , and its wings were spread from wall to wall . That mass of darkness the opposite of Gandalf ' s light has stretched from wall to wall of a huge room .
