A/N: *pouts* So little reviews.. Please review!!!!
I love your reviews, I can't type without them!!! ... *ahem* Sorry about
that, I've been reading some good funny fan fictions lately and they've
gotten me into good moods ^^
Since ff.net isn't letting me upload my chapters right now *kicks ff.net*
and the site isn't letting anyone review or anything like this (oh, just
FYI, I'm typing this up on July 3rd right now), I'll have lots of time to
write chapters. Well.. Hopefully. I'm going on another trip, but when I get
back I'll try to do nothing but type!!!!!!
Anyway, here's the new chapter and, again, PLEASE REVIEW!!!
Also, I've been getting some e-mails from a few of you readers who have
been begging me to get back to Aragorn, Legolas, and. well. mainly just
those two; but, sadly, I'm at writers block when trying to write about
their journey to Gondor, so this fanfiction has turned into mainly a story
about Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Sam, and Krystal's journey to Mordor. well, at
least until I can think up something to write about Aragorn, Legolas, Aria,
Isabella, and Gandalf. Please either review or e-mail me ideas for upcoming
chapters!
** Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Sam, and Krystal continued walking for a very long time, only briefly stopping on their journey towards Mordor for meals. They seldom, if ever, talked, each being in tuned to their own thoughts.
"There's one thing I'm confused about," Sam said tiredly to Frodo as they slowly walked up a steep hill. "When the Ring was destroyed before, Mordor was pretty much destroyed as well. But if it was, then wouldn't Mount Doom not be there anymore, thus making it impossible for us to destroy it there?"
"I'm not sure, Sam," Frodo said. "We'll just have to find out for ourselves when we get there."
They journeyed on more miles, each seeming longer than the next. It had just started getting dark when their first sign of trouble, since they reunited with each other, came. They had started slowing down, all off them starting to get tired when they heard a loud screech coming from up above them, a screech that made all of their insides tighten and made them feel like an evil darkness was covering them. It was a screech that they all recognized very well.
"Quick, hide!" Krystal yelled. They quickly darted into some nearby bushes, keeping as quiet as they could. They had hid only just in time. A few seconds later two dark shapes flew above them: Ringwraiths, searching for the Ring. They waited until the Ringwraiths had passed far out of view before they came out from the bushes.
"That was a close one," Merry said.
"Too close," Frodo said as he got out from one of the bushes.
"You shouldn't take chances, it could cost your life," Came a voice from behind them. They whirled around to see where the voice had come from, but no one was there to be found. A man jumped out of a tree behind them, scarring the wits out of Merry.
"Sorry if I frightened you," Said the man, looking down at Merry. The man was tall with rugged hair much like Aragorn's, though his was brown. He was wearing clothes like a Ranger and had a sword in a hilt at his side. "Morion, at your service." He said, giving a deep bow to them. "I just couldn't help but notice the path you're on. It seems very perilous." None of them said anything but just stared at him, not knowing whether to trust him or not.
"No need to fear me, I am not an enemy unless you are one," he said, noticing the faint note of mistrust in them. "May I know your names? For I believe it is only custom to introduce to each other."
"Frodo Baggins," Frodo said, hesitating at first.
"Samwise Gamgee," Sam said.
"Meriadoc Brandybuck,"
"Peregrin Took," Morion nodded at them. "And you are?" He asked Krystal. She had been the most hesitant of them all.
"Aryante," She finally said. The hobbits stared at her. "I'll explain later," She said to them.
"I believe you all know what that thing was that passed over head a while ago?" Morion said, not taking hint of *Aryante's* last comment. He continued, not waiting for their reply. "I have also noticed the past dangers you have been in, away from your Fellowship. Before long you will most likely face greater dangers. I can help you there. All I ask is that you follow me, for I can lead you on a safer path than the one you seem to be taking. My only question is, will you follow me?"
The hobbits and Aryante looked back and forth at each other for a while, as if communicating through thought. Finally Frodo said aloud, "What other choice do we have?"

A/N: End of chapter! Please, please, PLEASE review!!!! I will have the next chapter out shortly. If you want to be notified of when the next chapter is out, I think you know the routine by now. If not, poor, poor you. Go back to the first chapter and read the ending A/N and you'll see what to do. Now all I have to do is stop writing the chapters for the third fic..
