Chapter 9: Underground Discoveries.

Frodo woke up to someone calling to him. He opened his eyes to see Anson looking at him. " Where are?" He asked Anson. Anson shrugged. " That I don't know but we were definitely lucky to have fallen into that hole." Anson offered Frodo his hand. Frodo took his hand and got up.

He started in amazement at where they were. Now he knew what he had fallen on. It was moss the softest moss he had ever stepped on it felt like if he was stepping on cotton.

Around him there was small waterfalls that surrounded the small island, which they seem to be on. On the other side of the island there were roses of many colors. Frodo had seen roses but the ones he was seeing were twice the size they were suppose to be.

He looked at the others who looked as stunned as he was or even more.

" I can't believe it!" Miriam said looking wide eyed at the roses. " These are roses! I was taught that roses had become fewer and fewer years before I was born. I was told that the only two roses in existence were the ones at the Palace and even those are starting to wilt.

And those aren't even as big and beautiful as this ones." Frodo was surprised at this.

" You don't have roses in your planet beside the two you just mentioned?" For his answer everyone nodded. " Where I come from there are many roses." " Then that must be a very beautiful planet." Lily said. " It is not beautiful not as beautiful as yours but it does seem that the one thing that is taken for granted in my world is only a dying tale here." Miriam flew to the other side and was followed by Lily. Both of them leaned in to smell the roses.
They have such a beautiful scent." Lily said dreamily. The others crossed the small river that surrounded them and smelled the roses. " They are beautiful." Jennifer said leaning in to smell one of the red roses. Miriam looked around and she saw what seemed like a big iron box. " Everyone look what I found." The others followed her as she walked up two the box. Miriam stopped five feet away from the box and so did James, Michael, David, Cassia, Kieran, Lily, Miko, and Andrew. The others approached it. Frodo looked at the ones that kept away from the iron box. Anson saw that Frodo had noticed. " They can't get close to iron it makes them weak." Frodo nodded and returned his gaze to the box. Ibun found the latch and opened it. Inside they found transparent bags with labels on them that told them what kind of bulbs would become a red, yellow, or white rose. There were also other kinds of bulbs that would become other kinds of flowers. " Well what is it." Miriam asked becoming inpatient. " They are seeds of the plants that are before us."

" Well pass us some I want to see them!" Lily said. Everyone that could touch iron took as many bags as they could carry and carried the bags to the others. They put them on a pile on the soft moss and Miriam and Lily were the first kneeling to look at the perfectly preserved bags. " They must have used magic to keep them so well preserved until now." Lily said picking up a bag with a picture of a red rose on it.

Miriam smiled and taking the bag she carried from her back she opened it and started putting all the bags inside. " Get me more," she said to the others. " I don't think all those bags are going to fit in there." Frodo said. Miriam smiled. " This is my treasure bag. Its magical I can stuff it with as much things as I want and it wont be heavy and there will always be room for more. That is as long as it's not something very big and heavy." Anson had started bringing more bags to Miriam who was stuffing them into her bag.

Frodo started helping Anson and then Kyle, Nolion, Ibun, Jennifer, and Allen began to help too.

It wasn't long until the iron box was empty and the small bags were in Miriam's bag. She closed her bag and put it back on her back. She smiled " I think we should eat and then start again we have to find a way out of here." All agreed especially the hungry Hobbits.

They refilled their water canteens with fresh water from the small water falls and after finishing their food they started picking up their things and moving on. They took a last look at the place they had discovered and went of into the darkness.
