********************************** "So it's settled, Frodo is going to tell hobbiton, and Sam is going to try and plant another mallorn tree from a seed." "If there is one," Elanor was listening in through the door, and she couldn't help thinking about the worst case scenario.
By the time the meeting had ended, when Merry and Pippin went to remove the tree, there was a crowd of hobbits surrounding the field all were too scared to walk near the great tree. "Excuse me, out of the way please." Merry and Pippin pushed their way through the crowd of shocked hobbbits. "What happened?" "What are we going to do?" "How are we going to find another mallorn tree?" They were greeted by a hurricane of worried questions. "Please, go to the town hall and you will be told everything." Pippin herded the crowd gently in the direction of the town hall were he new Frodo was waiting.
"Wait," Sam and Elanor had arrived to search the great mallorn tree and see if it had produced any seeds that could be planted. When over half of the tree had been searched Elanor began to fear the worst. Meanwhile Merry and Pippin had been chopping up the trunk of the tree and piling it into nearby wheelbarrows. As Sam and Elanor reached the bottom of the leaves Elanor looked at her father waiting for the worst. She knew there was no point hoping, she could tell by the look on her father's face that he hadn't found any of the precious seeds produced by the rare mallorn tree. As Elanor went to embrace her father she saw a tear trickle down his weather worn cheek and drop onto the leaves of the mallorn tree. She knew that this event was as upsetting, if not more so for her father as it was for her.
They returned to the town hall to hear Frodo addressing the whole of hobbiton, "Sam and Elanor are at the tree now with Merry and Pippin, Both the Gamgees are searching the leaves for one of the precious, and very rare mallorn tree seeds. Meanwhile Merry and Pippin are cutting up the tree for removal." there came a loud 'boooo' from the hobbits, and Frodo attempted to be heard above the noise. Sam strode up to the stage and banged his hand hard on the table in front of Frodo, " SHUT UP THE LOTA YA," Sam shouted over the noise, and then more quietly he said " Can't you lot see Mr. Frodo, Merry and Pippin are tryin' there hardest to sort this mess out? Now let the hobbit finish speaking." The hall immediately fell silent, "Thank you Sam, now how did your search go?" "We found nought Mr Frodo, sir" Elanor saw what was coming and hurried up to the top of the stage to escort her father from the stage. She supported him back to their home, despite Sam's watery protests.
"I just don't understand Rosie" Elanor overheard her father talking to her mother about the tragic event, " The tree was the strongest in all of hobbiton, I don't know how it could have fallen." Elanor new it must have been a very strong bolt of lightning to uproot the mallorn tree "Now were are we going to host Elanors coming of age, there isn't a party tree any more.." Elanor gasped, herb coming of age party would have been held around her beloved mallorn tree, she heard chairs scrape and swallowed the tears that threatened to surface, she had to be strong for her father.
Later that night Elanor was thinking about a course of action to take. Her mind wandered to the journey of the ring as the hobbits called it when she had an idea, she knew it was a good idea, but was it the right one? *************************************** Nice cliff hanger to keep you interested, I hope you liked this chapter as much as the first one please R&R.
