Chapter 32:

Enter Ki

"Frodo, come help an old man." Gandalf said as we finally reached to bottom of the Mountain. Frodo walked over to him and Chi. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but could tell that it was something serious.

"So, what's up with this place? It defiantly," I said, as we traveled through the forest, "Is freaky."

"You're not just whistling Violent Desire, you know." Chi said, dangling off Gandalf's arm. They had finished their conversation with Frodo, "Remember the movie, after all."

"I remember the book, after all." I said, high-and-mightily.

"Well, maybe I'll read them someday…" She said, "But not now…You didn't happen to bring it with you, did you?"

"Wish I did, but no." I answered.

"The walls of Moria!" Gimli said, his eyes widening in awe.

"Dwarf-doors are not made to be seen when shut. They are invisible, and their own masters cannot find them or open them, if their secrets are forgotten." Gandalf said.

"Oooh." Chi said, "Why do we care?"

"Why does that not surprise me?" Legolas said.

"Stop fighting. I don't care who messed up the whole Dwarf and Elf alliance," I said, scoldingly, "But if you two want to make sure that the Ring makes it to its doom, you'll be friends."

"What is she talking about?" Pippin asked Merry, who shrugged.

"They seem to know what she is talking about, though." Merry pointed out as Gimli and Legolas stopped their bickering and were silent.

"It can only be seen by starlight and moonlight. Ah, there." Gandalf said, as the clouds moved, showing the gateway, "The words are in the Elven-tongue of the West of Middle-earth in the Elder days. They say only: The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter."

"What does that mean?" Merry asked.

"It is plain enough," said Gimli, "If you are a friend, speak the password, and the doors will open, and you can enter."

"Yes." Gandalf said, "Annon edhellen, edro hi ammen! Fennas nogothrim, lasto beth lammen!"

The doors didn't move. He tried something else, yelling out "Edro, edro!", which I took meant open. They still didn't move.

"Hey, Dwarf. This is your mine, right? What's the password?" Chi asked.

Gimli looked insulted and walked over to somewhere else.

"I once knew every spell in the tongues of Elves, Men, and Orcs." Gandalf said, finally giving up from trying to push them open manually, and leaning his head against the door.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Pippin asked, voicing my own thoughts.

"Knock your head against these doors, Peregrin Took, and if that does not shatter them and I am allowed a little peace from answering foolish questions, I will seek for the opening words!" Gandalf nearly shouted.

"Oooooh…" Chi and I said, in awe.

"Gandfalf got mad."

"Gandalf got very mad."

"Oooooh…" We said again, then started laughing. After all, what else were we there for?

Just then, Gimili's yelp came from a little ways away. I skipped over to see Gimli, tripped, sitting on the ground. It wasn't that he tripped that bothered me, it was what he tripped on.

"Chi!!!" I screeched, "Here! Now!"

"What is it?" She asked, coming over. She looked to where I was pointing. She screamed as well.

"Be silent." Aragorn said, clapping his hands over both our mouths at once.

"It is a young Human boy." Legolas said, "He is unconscious, but alive."

"You are our healer." Aragorn said, releasing me. I fell to my knees by the boy. It was my younger brother. He was hurt. Nearly dead, as far as I could tell. It looked like he had fallen quite a way to land here on the rocks.

I pulled a few healing things out of my bag and started healing him. Soon, his wounds were on the way to being healed. Chi was released and went back to Gandalf. She seemed slightly bothered by it.

"Okay, who is going to carry Ki?" I asked, coming up with the name on a impulse, "Cause he IS coming with us." I looked at the group. I wasn't really trusting of Elves in the strength area, Gimli didn't look all too pleased with the prospect, I knew that Hobbits didn't have that much strength, and Aragorn hated me.

"Boromir!" I said in a cutesy tone, "Wanna do me a favor? Please? Carry my brother?"

"Oh, very well…" He said, not too pleased.

"Don't drop him or suffer Gandalf's wrath!" I warned as he picked up Ki.

"Gandalf? What does he have to do with this?" Merry asked.

"Chi would convince him." I said, very decidedly.

"It's a riddle!" Frodo said, as though he hadn't heard the whole conversation, "What is the Elfish word for friend?"

"Mellon." Gandalf said. The doors opened and everyone cheered. Well, Chi and I did at least. Ki was unconscious, but he would have too if he had been awake. We started though the doors.

"Soon, Master Elf, you will see firsthand the fabled hospitality of the Dwarves; roaring fires, malt beer, meat ripe off the bone." Gimli said as though he was really excited about it, "it is home to my cousin Balin, and they call it a mine! A mine!"

"This is no mine," Boromir said as Gandalf cast a light spell, "it is a tomb!"

"What?" Gimli said, looking around on the ground, "No! Nooooo!"

I wasn't really paying attention to what they were jabbering about until I noticed that there were dead bodies laying all over the place.

"Geeeeek!" I screamed.

"Geek?" Chi asked, then saw the bodies, "Geeeeeek! Gandalf, there's dead things in here!"

I started to snicker, but then I remembered. This was really happening. This wasn't just in some fanfic.

"I think I'm going to be sick." I said, the smell of the rotting bodies getting to my stomach.

"Goblins!" Legolas said, examining a arrow that was in a decaying corpse. Everyone drew their weapons and looked around as if they expected to be attacked any moment.

"We must go back!" Boromir said, "Make for the Gap of Rohan! It was a mistake to have come here! Get out!"

I started to turn around, "Don't you drop my brother!" I shouted as I saw Frodo getting grabbed by a large octopus type creature.

"Octomarfus!" Chi shouted, pointing. It would have been funny, had it not been that someone was going to die. Namely, Frodo.

They fought if for a while, which led us deeper into the mines and caused a cave-in around the edge. Frodo had gotten free, thanks to Aragorn's help. Gandalf lit the end of his staff.

"It appears that we must pass through the mines of Moria. Let us hope that our presence here will go unnoticed. We have a four-day journey ahead of us, so keep up." Gandalf said, Chi hanging off his arm.
