'It means you've had one too many ales, Sam.' Frodo replied. He wasn't in the mood for Sam's jokes at the moment; he was still shaken by waking up to someone, who he thought was his friend, standing over him, about to stab him to death. 'Lucky thing he doesn't know about that vest Bilbo gave me…' Frodo thought to himself.
'No, really.' Sam persisted. 'I'm not joking, Mr. Frodo, you're swords glowing all kinds of colours.'
Frodo looked at his sword, to see that Sam wasn't joking at all; it really was glowing lots of different colours.
'Wow! Pretty!' Pippin, who had been sitting quietly with Merry since Boromir's attack on Frodo, said.
'Legolas?' Frodo asked. 'You're an elf. What does it mean when these elvish swords glow like this?'
Legolas looked at the sword, and shrugged. 'I know they turn blue for orcs, but I thought that was all they did.' He admitted.
'Let me look.' Boromir said. 'I have come across lots of different elvish weapons when I was in Gondor.' Boromir reached for the sword, but Frodo moved away from him as quickly as he could while staying on the ground, and only having the use of one arm.
'Get away from me!' Frodo said, his voice shaking and a look of sheer terror in his eyes. 'You've just tried to kill me!'
'I'm sorry.' Boromir cried, trying to move closer to Frodo. But the closer he tried to get, the further Frodo moved away.
'Frodo!' Aragorn called. 'You have to trust Boromir – he wasn't himself.'
But Frodo was beyond listening to anything the rest of the fellowship might have to say on the matter. 'Boromir is a traitor. You trusted him, but he took advantage of it and tried to kill you. How do you know the rest of the fellowship won't do the same?' Frodo kept on asking himself. 'Could he trust Aragorn?' He didn't know if he could even trust Sam anymore.
With one last look at the fellowship, Frodo turned and ran into the forest.
'No! Frodo, come back!' Aragorn called. 'That forest is not safe! Especially not for you!'
Aragorn's last words were drowned by a scream from inside the forest – Frodo's scream.
'He's in trouble.' Sam said, and they all ran into the forest after Frodo. They had only been running for about half a minute, when they came across Frodo lying unconscious, facedown, in a small forest clearing. Standing over him was Talania. In one hand she held the elven-chain and ring, and in the other was Frodo's sword, which was glowing even brighter.
'When the sword glows like this,' Talania began. 'It means that there is danger where you least expect it.'
