So sorry this part took so long to come out! I thank you all who have reviewed, and please continue to! :) Two other stories going at the same time, so I haven't gotten update time. But don't worry, I promise to get more of this done when I get the chance. R&R!

One by one, the rest of the Company woke up and they set out again. It was pretty quiet – knock on wood – but the warriors didn't let their guard down. They traveled on like this for a few days, trudging through snowy mountain passages, ice cold in the snow. Finally, Gimli had just about had it.
"This way is a waste of time! We should go through the mines of Moria! My people can help us through!." Gimli said. The Company began to quarrel, all but Legolas, Frodo, and Gandalf. "The Mines are a dangerous place Master Frodo," Legolas said. 'That's just because you're an elf!" Gimli said from the group. The Elf and Dwarf start to quarrel.
Gandalf shouted to be heard. "We let the Bearer decide!" he yelled over the racket. Twice he had to call before Aragorn heard and silenced everyone. Frodo, with his feet ice cold in the snow, immidietly said, "The Mines! The mines sound much warmer!" "As you wish," Gandalf said, and lead the group off twords the mines of Moria.

The Mines were dark and dreary. Gandalf's staff was only a little light. The Company still persevered on, through the grim atmosphere, until they reached a door. Gandalf read the riddle.
"Speak friend, and enter," he mused. He tried multiple different passwords and spells but finally gave up and plopped down on a rock.
"Excuse me," came Legolas's voice from behind him. "May I try?" "Best of luck," Gandalf said. "I've tried every password I can think off."
Legolas stood right in front of the door. "Mellon!" she said. The huge stone door opened. "Legolas, you're a genius!" Gandalf said. "I understand now. When they said speak friend, they meant it literally. Good thinking Legolas, we may have been stuck out here for hours."
They continued through the dark tunnels of the Mines. Finally, they came to a room with large wooden doors, that appeared to be a throne room, probably for dwarven royalty. Going through the door, a horrid sight awaited them. The whole throne room was full of dwarves who had apparently been attacked. Legolas pulled out an arrow. "Orcs," she announced.
Gimli took off his helmet and bowed. Gandalf flipped open a book and looked through it. "The ceiling rumbled like a giant earthquake. Hundreds of black arrows shot through the door. Our warriors held them off but not for long. I expect we shall be destroyed soon," he read aloud. "So it was Orcs."
All of the sudden, the ceiling began to shake. Just like a giant earthquake.

Please review! Will the Company experience the same fate as the dwarves? Well probably not considering I need them for the rest of the story. There will probably be three or four more chapters to this. Thanks to all the great reviews so far! You guys rule!
Please review. Flames are welcome I guess, if that's how much you hated the story.
