Chapter 10: Friends Found
"Come on we're almost there," Gandalf urged.
For almost three days the small group had traveled through the labrianth of the caves, slowly making their way up to the surface of the earth.
For the past day they had been going up a steap incline, but still no sign of any sunlight. But Gandalf seemed to know where they were going and he seemed to grow increasingly eager.
They climbed for another half an hour when a problem occured, their path ended. Already the path was cramped to a small five feet, and except for Pippin and Owen everyone had to stoop in fear of banging their heads.
"Now what are we going to do?" Pippin asked.
Gandalf was considering the blockage of boulders and rubbled that stood before him, he shoved in a few places, then pulled but it did nothing.
"It's true these have been here for awhile but I believe with the correct aim, I could blast is away," he said and then raised his staff.
"Wait, wizard," Issaria held up a pale hand and studied the wall of rock as well.
"I believe, but correct me if I'm wrong, that if you were to hit this within even a few inches of the wrong place, it would crumble into a rock slide," she started, " and most likely kill us all," Rinry finished the sentence.
Gandalf looked taken aback but nodded, "Yes that could happen,".
"Then, why do it?" Issaria asked.
"Well if you two have any better ideas please let us know, we need to get out of here as quickly as possible," Aragorn growled indefence of his friend.
The two elves looked offended but remained silent.
"I am confident in my abilities, and if you two would like to assit me you are more then welcom," Gandalf said quietly and raised his staff again.
No one stopped him this time and waited with baited breath to see what would happen.
He muttered a few words and the end of his staff glowed and a shot of light impacted the wall. Unfortunetly Issaria and Rinry were right.
A great grinding noise erupted and the boulders gave way and crumbled towards the party. There were yells and as everyone lept to the sides to try and avoid the giant rock barreling towards them.
Aragorn and Legolas were in the very back. But they weren't moving quick enough, one of the largest boulders crashed towards them.
Estel didn't know what to do, she was pressed against the wall with panic and fear rushing through her stomach. On instinct she raised her hands as if reaching out to cover her face. When a pulling sensation started in her chest and a burst of light lit up the entire cavern.
There was a crash as small hunks of rock sprayed everywhere and the rest of the rock slide crumbled away. Dull light entered the silent cavern, silver shafts penetrating the dusty air.
There were a few coughs and figures could be seen in the gloom. Slowly the dust settled and everyone could see the sight in front of them.
Merry woke with a start as an explosion echoed all around them. Thoughts of orcs, the dark lord, and goblins clawed at his mind and he lashed out a hand. But it wasn't quite an explosion, the rocks in the very back of the cave were sliding backwards into the bowls of the earth.
He stopped yelling and noticed that Frodo was shuffling backwards sleepily, he had fallen asleep during his watch.
"Wah...What's going on?" he mumbled and rubbed his eyes.
"I don't know, it's a rockslide," Merry yelled back.
They both rushed to the mouth of the cave and stood there scared until the rumbles had died away.
Dust was everywhere, and the two hobbits stared at the gaping hole now in the back of the cave.
"What should we do Frodo? It could be a trap," Merry whispered.
Frodo stared at the dark hold that led down into the earth, weighing the risks against his curiosity. For another minute they waited until they heard movement and coughing.
A figure could be seen through the settling dust, the person walked into the cave shielding his eyes from the harsh sunlight. But this person was either vey young or very short.
Finally the dust settled and the three of them stared at each other.
"Pippin!"
"Frodo, Merry!"
The three friends ran towards each other and started jabbering away until finally one of them asked.
"What happened?"
"Well Gandalf, blasted through the rock wall but it collapsed the wrong way and there was a rock slide," Pippin explained.
"We need to go help the others," Pippin then turned and ran back towards the rock slide.
"The others?" Frodo and Merry said happily thinking that their old companions had survived.
They rushed forward and into the tunnel, the dust was still floating around making it hard to see but more movement could been heard and dull shapes could be made out.
Slowly everyone got a grip on their surroundings and came together into a group. Pippin, Merry, Frodo, Gandalf, the two oracles...
"But where are Aragorn, Legolas and Estel?"Gandalf asked.
They looked around but they couldn't be seen.
"IS anyone down there?" Pippin called down to the lower part of the tunnel.
Nothing replied.
"Oh no, what have I done," Gandalf lowered his head in shame.
"You did exactly what we told you not to do you stupid old man!" Rinry snapped at the wizard.
Gandalf sat down on a rock in defeat, they had lost the only hope they had left to defeat Sauron along with two great warriors. It was all his fault.
The cave became very silent and remorse swept through them all, even the joy of being reunited with their friends couldn't warm Merry and Frodo's hearts now.
They stayed like that for a long while until the sound of shuffling came from further back in the cave. Eveyone looked into the darkness to see what was coming. The grunts and shuffles got louder and evryone gripped their weapons.
"It's the orcs, their back!" Pippin cried out.
"Then let's face them, and send them to burn," Issaria said grimly.
Everyone got ready, even Merry and Frodo grabbed rocks off the floor and hoisted them above their heads.
The shuffling got even louder and out of the gloom came a great lopsided creature.
