Chapter 1
Crossing the Brandy Wine River.
Samwise was the first out from under the tree stump. Knowing the importance of the ring, and what may lay ahead for him and the other three hobbits still under the tree, he began to search his mind for the beginnings of a plan. To bad he was never too good at thinking.
The Ring, once taken from its owner, and now back in the clutches of his army. Not the place it was meant to be. The plan was to meet the wizard Gandalf at the Inn of the Prancing Pony, and Samwise meant to keep his master to that plan, if anyone knew what to do it would be Gandalf.
"You have some talking to do cousin." Said Pippin climbing out from under as well, "What in middle earth was that?" Frodo now climbed out. He looked quite intent on keeping his mouth shut as tight as he could.
"Come now Master Frodo," Started Sam, "I'm afraid that this is now their battle as well."
Frodo look at Sam uneasily and then merely nodded. "Your right Sam. It's a long tail, and we have to get across the river before nightfall, so I'll talk as we walk." The four hobbits started towards the river, Merry, Pippin, and even Samwise listening to Frodo's tail intently.
"It started at the end of the second age. There was a war, between an alliance of elves and men, and the dark lord Sauron. Sauron had created nineteen rings that had been given to the rulers of the peoples of middle earth. Three rings were given to the elves, seven rings to the dwarf lords, and nine to the race of men. But he also mad a master ring. One that would control all the others, in hopes that he could rule all of middle earth. That ring I held, that was the one ring." He looked over at Merry and Pippin walking on his left hand side. "When put into a fire, a writing appears, it's the language of Mordor. In the common tong it says, 'One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, And in the darkness bind them.' It was my quest to bring it safely to the inn of the prancing pony in Bree, but as you know, we were intercepted."
"And what was this rider in black?" Asked Pippin, looking Frodo hard in the face.
"If you would be patient my dear cousin, I was just about to reach that point. The riders, also known as Wraths, were once the kings of men. They were gifted with the nine rings and slowly fell into darkness. They now work with and for the dark lord." Pippin nodded and looked away as Frodo finished.
The hobbits traveled together in silence until they reached the raft at the river crossing.
"Everyone on." Merry yelled, jumping onto it himself and taking the ore. Pippin, Samwise and Frodo all got on in turn. And they watched the shore slowly get farther away, and eventually, the other side come nearer. The task of getting to the Prancing Pony was an important one, and they had no time to waste.
AN: Well... There's chapter two. I'm sorry it's to short. I left Tom Bombadil out. I was never to fond of him, though I wish he had been in the movie... :( Please respond. Next chapter. They'll meet up with Strider.
