Chapter 43:

Reviewing the Last Chapter

That night, as soon as we were all settled down a bit they all started to talk about what they had heard her say in their heads. Or their hearts.

"What did you blush for?" Pippin asked merrily of Sam, "You broke down worse than anyone else. One might think you had a guilty conscious. I hope it was nothing worse than a wicked plot to steal my blankets."

"I never thought no such thing!" Sam said, in no mood to be teased, "If you want to know, I felt as if I hadn't got anything on and I didn't like it. She seemed to be looking inside me and asking me what I would do if she gave me the chance of flying back home to the Shire to a nice little hole with - with a bit of garden for my own."

"That's funny," Merry said, "Almost what I felt myself."

"And it seemed to me that my choice would remain secret and known only to myself." Gimli put in.

"That is strange." Boromir said, "Perhaps she was testing us?"

"Psst. What did she say to you?" I whispered to Chi. We were sitting a ways off with Ki.

"She said that I didn't belong here, but if I was going to be here, I had to remain true to the very end. She said it almost threateningly." Chi said, looking troubled.

"Yeah. She said that I had to make sure that the Ring got tossed in. Like I'd have to jump in after it." I said, "It gave me the creeps."

"What's she tell you, Ki?" Chi asked him.

"That I wasn't supposed to be here, and if I didn't make sure that Saruman was defeated, I'd…" He paused.

"You'd….?" I asked, listening for the rest.

"I don't know." He said, "But I think it was bad."

"Galadriel, the Lady of Light was threatening us?" Chi asked, "That seems wrong any way you look at it."

"Yeah. I think what she was trying to do though," I said, "was scare us off. She wanted everyone else to have the chance to go home, but since we came here on our own and weren't stuck with the consequences of our actions if we chose not to…" I paused.

"Well, we had to be scared off, and they got to go home. That's about it." I said, trying to put into words what I was thinking. It wasn't working too well at the moment. Oh well.
