A/N: Sorry it's taken me a while to write a chapter, my friend Ariana (the one that I based Aria on) keeps coming over (we watched LotR!). Before I start this chapter, I have a little thing to say to Ariana (because of something she said in a review). I AM NOT KILLING ARIA, SO GIVE UP ALREADY!!!

. OK, now for a new chapter ^^;

**

Aryante and the hobbits had stayed with Aragorn and the others for three days more days, but they knew that they had to start moving. They had finished packing their things, making sure to have enough food and water, and were now saying goodbye to everyone, their hearts grieving.

"This is for you," Aragorn said to Aryante, handing her a smooth, hand- sized crystal. "Like Frodo's light, let it help you if in need of light if any of you are to get separated. When it glows yellow, one of your lost companions, if any of you get lost, are near."

"Thank you," Aryante took the crystal from him and put it in a pocket on the inside her coat. Aragorn got on his knees as she went to hug him.

"Do not worry," He said encouragingly to her and pulled out of the hug. "You will see all of us again, when this is over." Aryante nodded, trying to smile as she held back her tears.

"Namariƫ," She tried to look brave, to look like she wasn't afraid of what lay ahead of them, but inside she was terrified.

When they had said goodbye to each other, Aryante, Frodo, Merry, Pippin and Sam left Aragorn, Gandalf, Aria, Legolas, Isabella and Julia, continuing their journey to Mordor.

*******

The look of Mordor didn't help at all. They had felt much better when they had been with Aragorn and the others; but now the cold chill of the air from Mordor came upon them, filling them with sorrow. They had decided to journey at night, letting the darkness give them whatever shelter from the spies of Sauron it would. They traveled for two days, both of which they talked very little if ever. It was day now and they now faced a problem.

"How are we to get into Mordor?" Merry asked.

"We're not going through Shelob's lair again," Frodo said. "I can tell you that." Sam nodded in agreement.

"Well, the East gate is sure to be guarded," Aryante said. "Also, I don't really feel like walking through the Marsh lands."

"Isn't there some way that we could sneak in?" Pippin asked.

"I can't think of any way," Frodo said. They were silent for a while, each trying to think up some way, if possible, to sneak into Mordor unnoticed.

"The only way I can think of," Aryante said. "Is if we get captured and brought into Mordor. But then they would end up taking the ring."

"Also," Sam said. "If any of us managed to escape, there would be hundreds, maybe even thousands, of Orcs chasing after us."

"If only there was some way that we could get clothes like Orcs and sneak in amongst them," Merry thought out loud to himself. Aryante, Pippin, Frodo and Sam suddenly looked up at each other.

"Merry, you're a genius!" Pippin said.

"I am?" Merry looked up at him.

"All we have to do is dress as Orcs and go into Mordor with the other Orcs!" Frodo said.

"But where are we going to find Orc clothes?" Aryante asked. The hobbits looked at each other and then at Aryante.

".What?" Aryante asked.

"I think we have an idea," Merry said. They huddled together and told Aryante their idea.

"What?! No way!" Aryante shook her head hard. "That's mad! What if they call for others to come and help them?"

"Then we're doomed," Pippin said.

"Well that's an encouraging thought," Aryante muttered sarcastically.

"It's the only idea that might work," Frodo said.

"But- "

"Do you want to destroy the ring or not?" Aryante sighed.

"Fine," She said reluctantly. "But don't blame me if something goes wrong."

A/N: Yes, short chapter. Too bad for you =P

I had to make that the end of that chapter because I think what happens next will be a good start of a new chapter. What are they going to do?? Well, you'll just have to wait until the next chapter. You know what to do if you want to be notified when a new chapter is out.

Next chapter soon!

Please review!!!
