Chapter 5

The sun had reached the highest point in the sky when the company reached the edge of Fangorn,

"How are we to get to the Mark quickly with no transport?" asked Gimli

"We shall ride to Elodeas." Replied the Wizard.

"you frightened the horses away, remember" came the grumpy come back.

"and I shall bring them back to you, Master Dwarf." Came the frustrated filled voice

With that Gandalf turned towards the plains that were before them and released a high pitched Whistle, with out warning.

There was a hiss of pain, the other looked at each other, and then looked at Legolas

Seeing the elf covering his ears.

"Sorry Legolas, I should have warned you." Said the wizard

"I was alright Gandalf, I should have been paying attention" replied the Elf, not wanting to course another fight. Still thinking of away to apologize.

Any further comments were stopped by the sound of hooves coming towards them. And the silhouette of three horses appearing on the suns raise.

"Arod"

"Brego"

the elf and man called together.

"Who's is the third horse Gandalf?" wondered Gimli out loud.

"That is my steed and friend, Shadowfax, Lord of horses" replied Gandalf.

The horse drew ever closer.

"Brego, where have you been?" asked the ranger, once the chestnut horse pull up in front of him.

"They have been enjoying the hospitality of Rohan's plains, running free." said Gandalf

the horse greeted their friends.

Shadowfax came up to Gandalf and assessed the rest of the company looking for any evil. See that there was none, he turned towards Gandalf

"Hello old friend" said Gandalf fondly stroking Shadowfax's nose.

Arod ran toward Legolas, but slowed down when he realised there was something wrong. The nickered in question.

"nothing is wrong Arod" the horse looked dubious but decided to leave it alone

"Gimli, will you still ride with me?" asked Legolas meekly. Looking a Gimli pleadingly

"Of course I will Crazy Elf, you can not get rid of me that easily." Boomed Gimli.

They rode for a day and night, speeding their way to Edoras, horses bearing precious loads.

A pure white horse, the fasted of the three, lord of it kind, Shadowfax bearing Gandalf the White an extremely powerful wizard, who had come back from the dead.

Behind Brego, holding the weight of the Future king of Gondor, the hope of Men

Lastly came Arod holding the weight of a Lord Dwarf and a young Elven Prince. Lover to the future king.

No one talked, one thought was on every ones mind.

*When will we get there*

Warned ya didn't I. Said it was short, next on should be longer.
