Frodo, Merry and Legolas walked along in silence. The only sound that made it to their ears was the crunching of the snow underfoot. Legolas walked ahead, following the trail that Gandalf had told them to, but also looking for easier paths they could take.
Frodo walked along, his head bowed, staring at the snow. Lost in his own thoughts. He didn't like being resented by Merry, and he had to do SOMETHING about it - but the question is; what?
Merry followed Legolas and Frodo, half watching the path and half staring at the beautiful scenery stretched out in front of him. The snow sparkled in the sunlight and was quite solid underfoot.
Luckily Gandalf had had the sense to place a spell on the snow, making it solid enough so that Frodo and Merry didn't sink straight into it like they normally would have.
A loud yell made Legolas and Merry spin round, and they were just in time to see Frodo slip and fall head first off the side of Caradhas. Legolas immediately ran to the side of the mountain, staring down into the black chasm with horror. Merry hesitated, then followed Legolas and peered over the side.
"FRODO!" Shouted the elf prince, he listened impatiently, then tried again. "FRODO CAN YOU HEAR ME?!"
"Yeah! I can hear you!" Came the very faint reply. "I'm not hurt! I landed in a pile of snow! Can you come down?"
Legolas glanced at Merry then looked down, there was a small slope, a few metres away from them, Legolas thought if he was very careful they would be able to make it down to Frodo.
He took hold of Merry's arm and began to walk, very carefully, down the slope, pausing and helping Merry to get his balance everytime Merry slipped.
Finally, after 20 minutes of danger, Merry and Legolas managed to reach the ledge which Frodo had fallen on.
Legolas looked around and gasped. "I don't believe it!"
Merry looked confused and glanced at the Elf-prince. "Believe what?"
"We've found it!" Answered Legolas.
"Found what?" Asked Frodo, looking around bewildered, all he could see was snow, sky and rock.
"The cave of Alaresh! It's right there!" Legolas pointed and the hobbits looked round. Sure enough, the large mouth of a cave was hewn into the rock, but why hadn't they noticed it before?
"The cave of Alaresh only shows itself to people who need to go into it for good, although, some evil things manage to get into it - that's why we need to be careful!" Said Legolas, as if reading the hobbits mind.
Glancing around nervously, the three companions entered the cave, unsure of what dangers and perils they would come across.
