I watch him ride away, seeing the sun high in the sky as that grey,
old wizard rides away. Wearing his large, tilted, pointed hat, he heads off
towards Orthanc Tower in Isengard searching for answers and help from the
great wizard Saruman. You see Gandalf, that grey wizard, came to me in need
of help. He never informed of the problem that he seeked help on, until our
brief conversation that we just had. Gandalf informed me that he had
discovered the one thing that has been tied to my bloodline for over a
thousand yrs. This item, the one ring of Sauron. Gandalf informed me that
the one who now holds the ring, a Frodo Baggins of the shire, A HOBBIT! As
shocked as I was, and as hesitant as I was to be near the ring, as I fear
that the ring's power will draw me in, I still offered my help to guide the
ring to Rivendale where it can be handled properly by Elrond, one of the
elders of the elves, and father of my beloved.
So that brings me to the time being. Gandalf is now no longer able to
be seen in the distance, and I must head off towards the Prancing Pony,
making sure that the young Hobbit is protected, and does not reveal the
rings power to anyone.
Off I begin, on a journey, to start all journeys. Through forests,
over waters, and across lands of middle earth I must go to reach the
Prancing Pony Inn in time, but I will get there, just to undo my ancestor's
sins.
I have been walking for one whole day, stopping last night to sleep for a few hours before I begin out again towards my destination. So far I have been walking for two hours, since sunrise, and every thing seems rather peaceful. I believe I have about another two weeks left on this tumoltous trip, but despite that I must remain alert at all times. I never know when one of the demon's from Mordor, the demons that haunt middle earth, will come out of no where, just to try and give trouble to this ranger. Its about time I pick up my pace.. Whats that? It seems like flowing black robes, piles and piles of robes about 2 o clock from me. They seem to be moving. No, it can't be, how would they have known about the hobbit so quickly. No matter, I must try to slow it down, at any cost. It seems to be going at an extremely fast speed, right towards the shire. I have one shot at it, I gotta take it. I draw my bow, and with lighting quick reflexes set a bow up, and release it. The arrow soars through the air, and connects with the Ring Wraith's horse. Yes! perfect shot. Wait! there is another arrow from my left, also coming from the brushes. The Ring Wraith falls off its horse. Well atleast I think I have an ally here, well atleast I hope I do.
