Aragorn and Boromier sealed the door. The Orcs pounded against it, trying despretely to get through. Legolas and Boromier drew their bowstrings, shooting arrows to distract the Orcs. The rest of the Company fled.

After running for some time, a bridge came into view. A broken bridge. Legolas jumped across with her elflike grace. Aragorn threw Merry and Boromier threw Pippin. Gandalf then jumped for it, and with Legolas's help, made it as well. Aragorn reached for Gimli. "No one throws a dwarf," Gimli said, and got a running start. He tettered on the egde and Legolas grabbed his axe head. "No, no!" Gimli cried. "Not the axe!" Legolas managed to pull him up. Boromier jumped for it and Aragorn threw Frodo, before jumping himself.

They continued on. Frodo was now regretting his decision to go through the mines, but they had no choice but to press on. After a while, they saw daylight.

"We made it, we made it!" Sam, Merry, and Pippin said, dancing around in circles. Legolas frowned at the trees. "This area is near the Forest of the elven witch Galandriel," she observed. Gimli began to hack a path between the snowbanks with his axe. Soon Boromier and Aragorn were clearing away the top part. "They're too slow," Legolas said.

She sprinted across the snow banks, grinning and waving at the three who were trying to get through the snow. After about an hour, she returned. "The elves have no help to offer," she reported. "But they did say that if we got to the Forest, then they would feed us and offer shelter."



After a few more hours, the path was relatively clear. The snow was not as deep on the other side of the snow bank. The hobbits could walk through easily. Finally, they made it through the snowbank and dropped down, tired as ever.

"Theres the Forest where Galandriel lives," Legolas said, pointing to a large forest, full of trees that seemed to touch the sky. "It should be beautiful in this season."

The Company managed to get up and enter the forest of Galandriel.
