Ch.5
The Prancing Pony
Adela shivered in her cold wet cloak, Frodo noticed this and wrapped Adela under his cloak as well trying to keep her warm the best he could. Adela blushed a bit, but the night made it very hard to notice. When they reached the gates of Bree, they knocked the on the wooden gate.
"Yes?" A man said through an open hatch in the door.
"We need to reach the Prancing Pony….our business is our own." Frodo replied hastily to the man at the gate
. "Oh, hobbits. Don't go getting' worked up, it's me job to ask questions." The man muttered as he opened the gate.
The hobbits felt very odd being around people much taller than themselves, all but Adela. Of course Adela was quite use to being around people much taller then herself. The hobbits scurried over to the Prancing Pony, for all were looking forward to seeing Gandalf and getting warmth. They walked up to the man At the desk.
"umm…Sir." Frodo said, trying to get the mans attention.
"Yes…?" the man had to lean over the desk to get a good view of them.
"we are seeking Gandalf….have you seen him?" Frodo asked hopefully.
"Ah, yes. Long beard, pointy hat…..haven't seen him for six months." Frodo's hopeful face dropped to a frown, along with everyone else.
"Well, then we would like a room to stay in, then." Adela piped in.
So they got there room. Adela had to change into dryer clothes, while the others were down at the pub. Adela soon joined them. Adela reached into her cloak and brought out a red orb. Adela glared at it as though trying to get some answers from it.
"Whats that." Frodo asked staring curiously at the orb.
"uh…it was given to me just before…my father died." Adela said her tone dropping a bit.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up." Frodo said hastily his eyes full of pity for Adela.
"It's fine, anyway, how could you have known it had to do with my father, its not at all your fault." Adela laughed.
"This orb supposevly can heal and bring destruction. I've never used it, for I don't know how." Adela said trying to change the subject.
"you know Frodo, That cloaked man over there has been watching you ever since we came in here." Sam said his voice having a tinge of suspicion in it.
"Yes, I know." Frodo whispered back.
Merry and Pippin were having many many ales. Just then the bartender asked Frodo to sing a song from the Shire. Frodo reluctantly did so. It was going quite well before Frodo tripped backwards and fell off the table, causing the ring to slide onto his finger, Frodo disappered. Everyone was in a commotion. Adela slapped her hand to her forehead and mumbled
"Take off the ring, Frodo….take it off!" just then Frodo reappered, Adela sighed in relief.
Frodo slowly got up and dusted himself off, but as he began to dust himself off the strange cloaked figure they had seen watching Frodo, grabbed Frodo by the shoulders and pushed him up the stairs.
"Frodo!" Adela cried, but was drowned out by the commotion of the people.
Frodo was pushed into the room they were staying. The man pulled down his cloak so his face was visable.
"I can go unnoticed if I wish, but turning invisible, now that is a rare gift." The mans voice was very calm.
"who are you?" Frodo said with a frown, as he slowly backed away from the stranger.
"I am a friend of Gandalf's, I am Aragon, king of Gondor."
"How do I know I can trust you?" Frodo's voice filled with doubt.
Aragon sighed "If you don't who is there to trust." Aragon said.
Just then the door burst open. Sam and Adela had there fist raised, ready to fight, well Pippin had a chair, and Merry had a torch.
"I'll fight yeh'!" Sam growled.
"You are very brave, Gamgee." Aragon complimented.
"It is alright guys, he says he is a friend of Gandalf." Frodo said reassuring his friends.
They lowered there fighting stance.
"I, as you, am very disappointed to see that Gandalf is in somewhat of a hold up." Aragon replied grimly.
"Have you heard from him." Adela said coming up to Frodo, her voice was demanding.
Aragon seemed surprised to find a lady on the journey.
"Why are you here, it is a long journey to Rivendale, no lady should suffer the journey."
"I'm somewhat more capeable then you think, anyway if you would please answer my question." Adela said eurgently.
"no, I have not." Aragon said
. "Who are you then?" Adela asked, curiosty getting the better of her.
"Aragon, king of Gondor." Aragon said. Adela's eyes widened.
"I have lived in Harondor most of my life. I've only come to the Shire recently." Adela said surprised.
"You traveled from such a distance my lady, you have my respect." Aragon replied……….To Be Continued.
