Gandalf comes to visit
After that blasted fire- whip- wielding-bastard dragged him to the bottom of the pit, things had not been going well. It was fine that the beast meant to kill him, okay that it was as cold as a witch's tit in that cavern, and he was getting used to the demon's horrible smell, but he wanted food! So when the aroma of oden lured him in, he thought he struck jackpot! What he found was a hobbit sized girl, stirring up a warm stew, humming to her. "Good woman!" Gandalf pleaded, "Spare some stew for this old, half starved wretch!" she calmly turned around, gray eyes sparkling, and stated, "Of course, silly! You are a guest, are you not?" Gandalf stared at her, mouth wide open, amazed. Not even in middle earth, where people apparently trusted him to a fault, had no one even bothered to ask who he was. Unknowingly interrupting his reverie, Kagome hastily commanded, "Sit at the table, Gandalf. Supper will be ready in ten minutes." 'Wonder upon wonder', he thought, 'she knows my name without asking'. "I know your name because as soon as I make eye contact with someone, I know everything about them, including their thoughts. I would be a valuable ally on your quest to destroy the ring." Kagome screamed from the kitchen. "Then after supper, we must get back to Middle earth", he screamed back, thrilled.
