Wow! I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful reviews. They make me all warm and fuzzy inside. Alright I'm done! I hope you all like this next chapter.

After several days in Mirkwood the Fellowship departed and continued on. Gandalf decided that they would stick to their original course. He did not want to risk the ring traveling by through Mirkwood and close to Dol Guldur. They had tried to take the high pass but Saruman stopped them. The only option left open was to take the Mines of Moria but Gandalf never came out of the mines.

Talon had tracked the Fellowship all the way from Mirkwood. 'The wizard is gone. It will be easier to make my move now but I will have to be careful of the elf."

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Aragorn had gone scouting with Legolas. The small wooded area was dense and confining. "The area is clear Aragorn. It is safe to camp here"

"Good let us return to the others before they get worried"

"The elf will return to the others but you Strider will not." Talon placed his dagger against Aragorn's throat. "Don't move elf or he dies!" Legolas kept his bow drawn and pointed at Talon. "Drop your weapons." Talon took out his sword. Suddenly he threw the dagger at the elf. The tip embedded itself in Legolas' leg. Aragorn tried to get away but the world went dark as the hilt of Talon's sword connected with Aragorn's skull.
