(A/N- #2.  Yeah!  Well, nothing to say except that chappie title means darkness has fallen.

Chapter 15- Mornie alantië

The doors creaked open slowly. 

"I told you it was a riddle.  I said the Elvish word for friend and it opened!" I said triumphantly.

We all slowly walked inside, but as we were about to mount the stairs, we heard a sharp crack behind us.  Spinning, we watched in dismay as the entrance caved in, throwing us into darkness.

"Mornie utulie (T- Darkness has come)," I muttered.

"Galad, Cormamin niuve tenna' ta elea lle au (T- Light, my heart shall weep until it sees thee again)," whispered Arwen.

"We have four days to the bridge of Khazad-dûm.  Keep on the lookout.  We must hope to escape notice," counseled Gandalf.

"Very well," I agreed as we set out on our long journey.

Very short and kinda boring chappie.  More coming though.  I did think that Moria was boring, so yeah.  But Lothlorien should be interesting because that's Nilseregwen's home…
