The noise was amazing. The cries of children could be heard, whilst the grunting of wargs was also filling the caves. The hustle and bustle of Moria was staggering. But the main thing that caught Aragorn's attention was the statue in the middle of the cave. He led Brego over to the wargs, and tied the bridle next to a ferocious looking beast. It growled, but carried on gulping down a mixture of liquid and meat. Aragorn, on the other hand, headed over to the impressive statue. Engraved beneath was a message reading: "You now look upon the statue of Gimli, and you have the right to know why it has been erected. Gimli was the founder of the New Moria. All dwarves are now living in happiness."

Aragorn stepped back in disbelief. Gimli saving the dwarves! He turned round to collect Brego. But it looked like one of the wargs had attacked him, and he lay motionless on the floor.

"Brego." He carefully approached his friend, and realised he wasn't injured at all. He was in a daydream. The horse was twitching, and making noises under it's breath. Aragorn bent down and a tear escaped from his eye. Brego had caught the rare disease of khand, an elvish disease. There were no known cures for it.

"I could give you a hand." said a voice behind him. Aragorn swiftly drew his sword and turned round to see a familiar face. "You're horse his very sick, your majesty." He knelt down on one knew. "It's been too long Aragorn." He ran over to Aragorn and hugged him. "I've missed you laddie." "Gimli, this isn't like you." The king smiled. "But none of this is like you." He glanced round the cave. "I'd like to talk about me and all, but we need to sort out your horse before it's too late." Gimli arose, and went to find a pulse on the poor creature. "In these caves, I've found that a lot of khand has gathered in these old walls. So I found the cure for it."

He took a bit of warg excretion, and broke it up in his hand, rather his glove. He fed it into the mouth of Brego. "The wargs have a special 'medicine' in their system, that can heal victims of this deadly disease." He felt the temperature of Brego's private parts, and patted him on his head. "He'll be fine in about 10 minutes." Gimli got up and went over to the wargs. The ferocious one seemed to have a bond with him, and surprisingly, it seemed tame.

"Gimli. thank you." "Don't mention it. Let me introduce the family." He led Aragorn to a small insert in the wall. Inside, was a beautiful elf looking woman. She wore only a small cloth around her chest and between her legs. Aragorn whispered into Gimli's ear.

"Who's that?" he asked.

"My wife. Grendil, meet Aragorn, King of Gondor, and a very good friend." The woman arose of her chair and bowed. Aragorn was amazed. She was the size of Gimli.
