Chapter 21- Mornie

We crossed single file, careful not to fall off.  As we reached the other side, I turned back to see Gandalf facing a huge fiery monster in the middle of the bridge.

"Gandalf!" screamed Frodo.

"Stupid Gandalf," I muttered.  "Get off there."

"Ram en' ondo (Spell- Wall of Stone)," yelled Arwen, but Gandalf shattered it.

"Do not help me!" he retorted, turning to Arwen.  Turning back to the Balrog, he held up his staff and shouted, "You…shall not…pass!!!!"  (A/N- If u ever watch the little advertisements for the Fellowship of the Ring, this line is in like all of them!  It is soooooo annoying!!!)

The Balrog took a step forward, and the bridge crumbled beneath its feet.  It fell into the dark abyss.  Gandalf stupidly turned, his back on it, as it's whip of fire snaked up and pulled Gandalf off the edge.  He hung, clinging.  I moved forward with Legolas to help him, but he shook his head.  "Fly you fools!" he cried as he fell after the Balrog, disappearing from this world.

"Gandalf!" screamed Frodo.

"Come on!  We have to get out of here!" commanded Aragorn, scooping up Merry.  We all ran out into the bright sunshine.  We had escaped Moria.
