Chapter 10 – The Shire
In the morning, the hobbits woke up. Minutes later, an elf maiden went there and asked if they were prepared to see Lady Arwen and her father. They said yes and the elf maiden left the room.
"What do you think they will say us?" asked Merry.
"Maybe we must return to the Shire. Our families must be concerned…" said Sam.
"We only can go if Pippin is better" said Frodo, glancing at Pip.
This one was sitting in the bed, perfectly health. If they haven't seen him the other day, they wouldn't know that he was ill.
So, when Arwen and Elrond entered the room, they were all dressed and composed to left Rivendell.
"Good morning" said Elrond and Arwen.
"Good morning" answered the hobbits.
"Oh, I can see you are prepared to go" said Elrond, looking at the hobbits.
"Lord Elrond, we didn't know what to do, so…" began Sam.
"You can return the Shire, if Peregrin is completely healthy" said Elrond, walking towards Pip's bed.
When he reached the bed, he stopped and looked at Pippin's face, with his arched eyebrows.
"Tell me, Peregrin Took, are you perfectly restored?"
Pippin smiled and answered:
"Of course, Lord Elrond! As you can see, I'm healthy as an apple!"
The elf smiled and examined the little hobbit. When he finished he said:
"You're good now. If you want to go, you are allowed to."
He smiled and laughed at his friends.
"Come Pippin, let's go to our home!" exclaimed his cousin.
"Yes, but I want to see Rivendell! I didn't…" started Pippin, but Arwen spoke.
"You can see as much as you want, Have you thought that you wouldn't see anything of our land?"
She was smiling and all the hobbits laughed. Then they walked from the room and Arwen presented them the palace and the gardens, the woods and the paintings. After that they lunched in the kitchen and then they left the palace. Arwen went with them to the stables to find horses to take them back to the Shire.
"Do you know the directions to the Shire?" she asked.
They looked at each other. They didn't know
"I see…Maybe I should go with you"
"I can go" said Aragorn. He came when they were talking, very silent.
Arwen glanced at him and said:
"I know the road."
"You won't go alone" he said.
She smiled and agreed. They put two hobbits in each horse: two horses, an elf, a man and four hobbits. They began their ride and some hours later they were almost in the frontier of the Shire.
"Do you want to see the Shire?" asked Frodo, to Arwen.
"Yes, I want" she answered.
Frodo smiled and when they dismounted, the hobbits were their guides in the Shire.
"Well, Lady Arwen and Lord Aragorn, this is the Shire" presented Frodo, looking at the beautiful green horizon, with the hobbit's holes/houses, trees, flowers, crops, fields and everything.
Arwen glanced and Aragorn and they smiled. The Shire was really beautiful.
