IT HAS BEEN TEN LONG YEARS SINCE FRODO BAGGINS DESTROYED THE RING AND ARAGORN WAS MADE KING OF MEN AND THE DOMINION OF MEN STARTED. THE RINGBEARERS, FRODO AND BILBO, AND THE THREE KEEPERS OF THE ELVEN RINGS, GANDALF, ELROND AND GALADRIEL, HAVE ESCAPED INTO THE UNDYING LANDS, A FORGOTTEN LAND TO THE EAST OF MIDDLE EARTH, WHERE THE CREATORS AND GODS OF MIDDLE EARTH, THE VALAR, LIVE.

THE RINGBEARERS, FRODO AND BILBO, AND THE THREE KEEPERS OF THE ELVEN RINGS, GANDALF, ELROND AND GALADRIEL, HAVE ESCAPED INTO THE UNDYING LANDS, A FORGOTTEN LAND TO THE EAST OF MIDDLE EARTH, WHERE THE CREATORS AND GODS OF MIDDLE EARTH, THE VALAR, LIVE. THEY THINK THEY ARE SAFE, BUT THE BUBBLE THAT PROTECTS THEM FROM EVIL HAS BEEN POPPED. THE DOORS TO THE EVERLASTING VOID, A DIMENSION WHERE ALL EVIL IN THE FIRST AGE WHERE SHUT, HAS BEEN OPENED. MORGOTH, LEADER AND CREATOR OF ALL EVIL, BROTHER OF MANW?, THE LEADER OF THE VALAR, AND A REBEL VALAR, HAS TAKEN THE EVIL SPIRITS IN THE VOID AND HAS BUILT AND ARMY. THE PEOPLE OF MIDDLE EARTH CAN TELL, SINCE DRAGONS HAVE RETURNED AND BALROGS AND ORCS HAVE COME OUT OF PEACEFUL DWARF MINES. MORGOTH HAS MADE A FORTRESS AND PRISON ON THE ISLAND WHERE THE ONCE MIGHTY LAND OF THE NUMENORIANS, THE OLD EMPIRE OF MEN, ROAMED. HIS TARGET IS TO GET THE OLD RINGS OF POWER TO RULE MIDDLE EARTH, BUT FIRST HE HAS ONE TARGET TO GET TO FIND THEM: FRODO, AND HE WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO GET HIM AND THE SILMARILS.
CHAPTER I
THE SILMARILS
Frodo and Bilbo were doing what they always did: look out from their beautiful balcony on their beautiful room in the beautiful Elven city of Tiron, looking at the Bay of Eldamar. "When I left Hobbiton", said Bilbo, "I said I wanted to see mountains. Now to my right, I see mountains. And strait ahead, I see the majestic sea. But one thing that I long to do that I can't is go on adventures. I'm 142, and I can barely walk." "But I'm sure Gandalf can help you with his medicines", said Frodo. "But Gandalf is too busy with that wizard academy of his", said Bilbo. Ever since he found all the gifted orphans and outlaws that have the extraordinary gift of magic and built the huge academy building, all he is worried about is that and his apprentice, Madwé Turrinbar, cousin of the mighty Turin Turrinbar. He doesn't have time for me." "Don't be so negative and selfish", said Frodo, "Gandalf is doing an extraordinary thing, and you're fine and lucky. You didn't have to walk into the pits of Morodor, the equivalent of heck, and get your finger bitten off by a monster." "You're right", said Bilbo, I did rest in Rivendel while you went through heck, but I did fell your pain. I worried every night when you were out there. I just want to be my old self again. Face off a trio of trolls. Escape a cave full of Orcs. Win a riddle match with Gollum. Kill a bunch of spiders and free me friends in an elvish prison. Steal a dragon's gold, and win a war with Orcs. How I wish to do that. But my end is near. I can feel it. My ring finger hurts, and I feel weaker every day." "My heart feels heavier, too", said Frodo. "My wound from Shellob hurts occasionally and I feel evil when I but of my Míthril coat. Evil is arising. I can fell it. I fell it greatly." Then Frodo's birdbath started bubbling. "Oh, look! It's Gandalf!" Frodo's birdbath was a magic communicator for Gandalf. Whenever it bubbled, Gandalf called Frodo or Bilbo. They went over there and saw Gandalf. "Hello, Gandalf", said Frodo, "and what might you want on a day like this?"
"Hello, Frodo", said Gandalf, "I have a very special and important lesson today at four o'clock, and you must be there. Bring the vial Galadriel gave you. The one you brought at Shelob's lair. You will really need it. I wish you could come, Bilbo, but it's very private. Very private. So long for now!" Then Frodo grabbed the vial and the book, and Bilbo looked very concerned. "Do you believe him?" said Bilbo. "One of his students might have altered his mind and he could hurt you!" "I appreciate your concern", said Frodo, "but I must go. I trust Gandalf with all my life." Then Frodo left. The Mansion of the Istarí was a remarkable place. There were huge pillars and marvelous candles all around the building. Every time he went there, he marveled at it. Then he went into the History of Magic class, where Gandalf was. Once Frodo walked in everyone starred at him with a smile. The only one who wasn't happy was Madwé, who had white hair and a white beard with and wore white. The only thing beside his skin that wasn't white was a stripe of black in the middle of his beard. Gandalf had a huge smile on. "Sit down, sir Frodo!" said Gandalf, "the lesson shall begin. Today's lesson is about the Silmarils. Sir Frodo is here with the Silmarils. In the beginning of time, Illuvítar, the spirit that created all life in this world, created the Valar, thirteen spirits that each has a job to in this world such as Ulmo. He is lord of the water. They planted two trees. Those trees created the elves. It began a happy time in the world, although not all in the world were happy. Morgoth, Manwë's brother, who was supreme overlord of the Valar, was jealous since he didn't have a special power. He became the overlord of evil by destroying all the Valar's accomplishments. He created Orcs by torturing elves and he created Dragons from worms and many other creatures of evil. The Valar had many wars with him. Then, Morgoth destroyed the two trees, but they were not lost. Fëanor, an elvish lord, created the Silmarils: two jewels that can give you light when Madwé there is no darkness. When the trees were destroyed and Morgoth stole the Silmarils and many wars were fought to claim them back. Them Manwë cast him into the Void, where Morgoth could never get out. Morgoth didn't die, and only one Silmaril was recovered. Then, Morgoth's forces destroyed the wonderful elvish city of Gondolin, and the War of Wrath began. Morgoth's forces were destroyed, and Manwë shut Morgoth in the Endless Void, a place where all evil spirits go. And Frodo here has the Silmarils, in the vile that Galadriel gave him Tell us about it, Frodo." Frodo was speechless he couldn't talk. "That's it for now class." Only Madwé staid, staring at the Silmarils. He had an evil look on his face. Frodo knew he was trouble.
