Chapter
2- "Exploring the new home"
Frodo walks the whole
new land with his uncle, seeing the white gulls flying overhead and
seeing the neverending beautiful land. Frodo gasped as he saw
beautiful waterfalls falling into a rocks and a pool of water
below.
"Uncle, I have never seen something like this in
the Shire, this is a place I only thought into my dreams" said
Frodo with a smile on his face. "Well you remember seeing
waterfalls in Rivendell dont you Frodo?" Bilbo said. "Yes..I
remember Rivendell, but the waterfalls were not as beautiful as these
are!" said Frodo. Frodo lets out a sigh.
"I miss
the Shire Bilbo, but I know it in my heart that I will no longer be
happy there after coming back from the long journey, I felt it when
we returned, I didn't feel the happiness. This is my new home, and I
have got to get used to it, when I arrived here, I did feel the
happiness return in me. Still..my wound has not healed." Frodo
said. "My dear boy, the Shire will always be your number one
home, its just, us Ringbearers have to journey with the Elves here,
its what we are supposed to do, things will become better my boy"
Bilbo said hugging Frodo. "Your right, and I need to start
building up my happiness by exploring, which is what I am going to
do" Frodo said perking up. "You go right ahead, I am going
to catch up with Gandalf and Galadrial and talk with them, you need
some time on your own to explore" Bilbo said. "But, I want
to spend time with you, and explore with you" Frodo said. "We
have plenty of time to spend my dear boy, go now, explore!"
Bilbo said laughing.
Frodo ran off and started to look
around, there he found many beautiful waterfalls, forests, creeks, he
also spotted a rainbow which hovered over the waterfalls water.
"Wow!" he said to himself. Never in his wildest dreams
would he ever come to a place like this. Suddenly he spotted a young
girl, a hobbit like girl wandering around in the creeks, splashing
and giggling. Frodo just watched her in awe. The young girl continued
to splash and giggle along the creeks and she stopped and looked up
at Frodo. Frodo looked down, and he sat down on the soft green grass
and looked around in awe of the amazing world hes in. The young
hobbit girl continues to stare at Frodo and walks over to him
giggling with so much happiness. "Hi, Welcome to the Undying
Lands, you must be a newcomer, my name is Sandy" the girl said
putting out her hand. "My name is Frodo Baggins, we had just
arrived here, from Middle Earth. Its nice to meet you" he said
shaking her hand. "Do you not have a last name?" He asked.
"Oh I failed to give that part of the information didn't I? My
last name is Gamgee" she said giggling. Frodo smiled and had a
sudden flashback of his dearest friend Sam, of their friendship and
the journey. "Oh sam.." he whispered to himself. "Excuse
me?" she said. "Oh..the last name reminded me of a friend
of mine...Samwise Gamgee back in the Shire, your not related to him
are you? Frodo asked. "No, no..I don't know of a Samwise Gamgee,
I am terribly sorry." she said innocently. "Oh no, its
quite alright, I just miss him, merry and pippin and the Shire and
everyone back in Middle Earth that I have become friends with, its
quite tough coming to a new place, when all your life youve lived in
Middle Earth" Frodo said. "I am terribly sorry, I have
lived in Middle Earth my whole life too, I was sad to leave, leave my
home, leave my friends, but I guess thats where all of us Ringbearers
and Elves have to go sometime or another." She said. "We
have alot in common, tell me more of your journey as a Ringbearer
Sandy?" Frodo said smiling as they walk.
