ch.7
I found my friends running through the hallway calling my name obviously
they had heard the screams, too, and knew what they meant. I answered as
soon as I heard it and soon we were all gathered in an empty room.
"Galadriel really said that? But that's not fair! I never get straight
answers out of her... come to think of it, I don't get them out of any of
the High Elves, you must qualify.." that was Nurmorgul.
"That, Nurmorgul, is because you don't use your head. If you did you
wouldn't question me! Now, I have a big favor to ask all of you," I
breathed, I felt guilty for draging them into my problems.
"Anything!!" said Kinden.
"Alas, I must ask you to be friends with my friends. From Earth. You know
that if I die, they will need a reason to come back, I want you to be that
reason. You are the best candadates, my friends... you will be left
behind," I said the last sentence with less than a voice. My friends...
that's what they were, I couldn't leave them. But then I remembered one of
the reasons I was taking my mortal friends on this journey. It was their
fate, and they seemed to know that.
"Of course, we understand. We know about you, and, other things,"
Taraduial said,"We know why things don't make sense sometimes, we will do
our best to help!"
The others agreed and soon we dispersed from the room and I went to look
for Legolas. I found him sitting on Karlee, who was trying to answer back
to her people, but her wind was cut off by
Legolas.
"You may get off her now, Legolas. And YOU can go back to your room!" I
looked sternly at Karlee. I followed her with my mind as Legolas got off
her and she ran back to her room.
"Have they stopped for tonight?" Legolas wanted to know.
"Yes, for now... but we need to get Karlee to our side though. Otherwise,
the fate of Middle Earth is, well, gone. I need to tell you some things
that haven't been spoken about for a very long time. Come, let's go to the
library."
When we got there the Company was there along with my four Elven friends
and my mortal ones.
"Aiya! Amin hireatha. Amin uuma sint lle naye here, we'll leave," I said
being startled by my friends wasn't a nice experience.oh I'm sorry I
didn't know you were here
"No, don't bother, it's just us. We couldn't sleep and were somehow all
drawn here."
"That is because there is much explaining and healing to be done before
tomorrow."
"Elrond! mankoi lle uma tanya?!" I exclaimed as I fell into my husbands'
arms.
"Because I like seeing the surprise on your face!" he grinned,"I have
some very surprising news for all of you. Frodo never got rid of the ring."
"But that's not possible!" argued Legolas, "We saw him throw it in the
fire!"
"Yes he threw a ring in the fire-"
"He threw A ring into the fire, but it wasn't THE ring? So he just made
Sauron think that he didn't have a chance left?" I asked apparently the
only one besides Frodo who knew what was going on.
"Correct."
"So, Frodo, what happened?" I glanced pitifully at the guilty looking
Hobbit,"I'm no going to punish you..."
"Well," he began but Sam cut him off
"You don't have to tell *her* anything, Mr. Frodo!"
"Sam, it you are going to be a nuisance then leave!" Legolas glared at
Sam. Now it was my turn,"Legolas, shut up! I know you feel guilty but you
don't have to take it out on them!"he dropped his head, his pointy ears
turned the slightest pink color, and he muttered something that sounded
like,'Yes, dear.'
"Really there should've be anyone feeling guilty except me!" Frodo stood
up,"It looks like I had managed to fool everyone, even myself, into
thinking I wouldn't give into the Ring... the same fate that befell Isulder
is now settling on me, but I'm not dead yet," he sat back down, tears
streaming from his face.
"Uuma dela, Aier!"don't worry little one I comforted him,"Let's go for
a walk, Frodo. You, Sam, Legolas and me. We will be back to tell the others
our plans. You remember what I told you?"
"Uma arwen en amin,"yes, my lady he got up and left followed then by
Sam then me then Legolas.
