Chapter 29:

Beat up Boromir? Who? Us?

"Another break!" I said, sitting on top of a rock, near where Chi and Gandalf sat, "Are you sure there aren't snakes here?"

"That's what Gandalf says." Chi said, nodding. Legolas was looking the way that we were to go, Gimli was also resting, Frodo and Sam were getting lunch ready, Aragorn sat and rested, smoking his pipe, while Pippin and Merry were learning how to fight with Boromir.

"If we hold to this course we will stay west of the Misty Mountains for 40 days. If our luck holds, the Gap of Rohan will still be open to us. From there we were turn East to Mordor." Gandalf said, as though he was going over it in his mind.

"That's why he doesn't want us to practice with him." I said, observing that Merry and Pippin ganged up on Boromir and were playfully beating him up. Aragorn had tried to interfere, but teamwork defeated him as well.

"Why?" Chi said innocently, "Just because once we had him down, we would bean him with rocks?"

"That's it!" I smiled, leaning back, "Although I wouldn't doubt that we would use rocks to get him down."

"If anyone asked my opinion, which I note they're not…" Gimli started, "I'd say that we were taking the long way around. Gandalf, we could pass through the mines of Moria. My cousin, Balin, would give us a royal welcome!"

"No, Gimli. I would not pass through the mines of Moria unless I had no other choice." Gandalf said, thoughtfully smoking his pipe.

"That is a disgusting habit that you guys all seem to have." I said, "But then again, what can I say? There's more of you than me."

"Elf doesn't smoke." Chi said, "That's one more on our side."

"Very true." I nodded, "but you can't expect an Elf to smoke, after all. It's just sad that all the Hobbits would smoke, too. If I didn't know how old they were, I'd say that it brought old age instead of delaying it, as it has apparently done here."

"Ah, but how old is the Elf?" Chi pointed out, "I bet he's older than all of them combined."

"I don't really know… Something around 3,000, I think." I trailed off, "I never paid attention to anyone other than the Hobbits' ages."

"What is that?" Sam said, looking off where Legolas was looking.

"Nothing. it's just a wisp of cloud." Gimli said, as if he was talking to a coward.

"It is moving fast, and against the wind." Boromir said. Everyone was now looking there. I nodded to Chi and we went to go hide. I got stuck in a bunch of sagebrush and couldn't move.

"Cerbain from Dunland!" Legolas exclaimed.

"Hide! Quickly!" Aragorn shouted as everyone ran to hide. Chi squealed happily as Gandalf covered her mouth to keep her from talking. Suddenly we were surrounded with birds. They flocked around for a while, then flew off.

"Spies of Saruman!" Gandalf exclaimed as they all moved from their hiding places, "The passage south is being watched. Me must take the Pass of Caradhras."

"That's all well and good," I said, "But would someone help me out of this sagebrush?"
