Gimli years ago had been proud to rule over the Glittering caves but he longed to leave the dark caves and be in the sun with Legolas Greenleaf again. After spending 4 months with the fellowship he and the elf developed a strong bond. Gimli also wished to see Galadriel and here glowing beauty.
As he was pondering this his messenger Borin came to him saying that he had a guest in the great hall waiting for him. Gimli long had felt board so he was exited to here this news. As he walked into the hall and saw who was waiting for him his pace quickened.
" I've come to redeem the promise you gave me years ago. I was beginning to feel cheated."
Gimli ran up to the visitor yelling " You are most welcome Legolas." Catching he breath Gimli said if it is going to Fangorn forest that you mean I can be ready in seconds."
" Good because it has been 53 years since the passing of Aragron the last of the fellowship besides us. I would like to see the trees of Fangorn before leaving to sail over the sea."
" Will bring myself, my ax and food what are you bringing dear friend."
" Nothing more than food, my bow and quiver, material to start a fire and elfish blankets and capes for both of us. Gimli take you time and say goodbye to those who are dear to you for we are not retuning here."
