"OK, Diamond…we'll try not to interrupt you again…please go on."
"Thank you, Rosie. Now, from this point on, I won't have much to tell concerning Frodo and Sam." At this, Rosie's smile faded. "Don't worry, Miss Rosie. I'm sure you'll here much more of their adventures than we ever will." Diamond continued on with the quest for Merry and Pippin, the adventures with Treebeard, the Rohirrim, and the five friends meeting again at Isengard. She told them about Pippin and the Palantir, and his ride to Minas Tirith with Gandalf. She could see that Rosie was trying to pay attention when she was talking about Faramir's return from Osgiliath. "When Faramir saw Pippin, Gandalf could tell by Faramir's reaction that he had seen a hobbit before. He asked Faramir when and where. Faramir had left Frodo and Sam just two days before. They were heading up the stairs of Cirith Ungol and they had a guide…Gollum."
"Not that foul little thing that wanted to eat Mr. Bilbo?"
"Yes, Estella, the very same. But his story is one for another evening. Back to the story…" She finished with the Battle of Pelennor Fields and how the troops were heading for the Black Gate. After telling all of these things, Diamond sat down, exhausted.
"So, what happened next?" Rosie's eyes were wide open.
"I don't know, Rosie-lass. I had all of that latest news yesterday… I'm not terribly sure that it was just two weeks past that these events occurred. It may have been longer, because of how far away these places are. I promised to tell you all that I know and I have. Now, we need to put on our cloaks and leave."
"Leave? Diamond, you said we could stay…"
"I don't mean leave my company, silly lass. We are going to the trail." Rosie stopped in her tracks.
"I am going to meet an elf?" Diamond laughed when she saw Rosie shaking with a mixture of excitement and fear.
"Yes, Miss Rose, we are going to meet some elves."
