Chapter Nine

Frodo sat pondering as he often did these days. At the moment he wondered about Gandalf. Gandalf had ridden to another Haven than the one Frodo, Elrond, Elrohir, Celebrian, and Galadriel stayed in.

Before Frodo had left the Shire he had spoken to Gandalf, (the Shire is right next to the Straight Road which leads to the Havens) while he had been giving up on trying to translate a couple books.

Flash Back

I guess I'll just have to get Bilbo to help me when we see him at the Havens. Frodo said with a smile while they where stopped at an inn for the night. Hmm I wonder, Gandalf said thoughtfully. No I actually think you should leave them here in the care of Elladan. Gandalf said. But whatever for Gandalf? Gandalf hesitated. Listen carefully and then don't tell a soul, I think, I'm not sure, that history is about to repeat itself. Even you have had a vague notion. Frodo looked surprised. Well yes in a way I've wondered sometimes, but I'm sure it is nothing. Gandalf shook his head. Never be so sure about anything. I know what I am saying. Too often I have been too sure, far too often. But I will tell you this. Elrond can read those and what Elrond can do at least one of his children can do. Whether it be Elladan, Elrohir, Arwen, or Aragorn.

I will not translate them here however; it may very well be that you will learn over time. Frodo wanted to scream out No! Tell me Now! But of course he didn't. In time you say, but when? Gandalf closed his eyes for a moment and thought. When the days of the Middle Earth draws to a close a new hope shall arise even though none in the Middle-Earth have any hope left in their souls or bodies then you shall hear all the words of the books for you have not done every thing that they will need you for.I hate it when he talks like that. Frodo thought. Aragorn would say, "Talking in riddles again old friend?
