Clothespeg-rules: *hands you about 10 million cookies* hehehe. Yes, Frodo will be mentioned, sooner or later, even though I don't like him. Actually, he is mentioned in the chapter, but I think there will be more.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Chapter Four^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Tell me again why Frodo won't come with us? After all, he does have the most experience with the cursed ring." Merry said.
"Mr. Frodo said he wasn't going to come because his destiny, his purpose in this life was over. He wouldn't say anything else and then continued in writing his book."
"Mr. Frodo, why won't you come with us?" Sam asked.
"Sam, my dear Sam, you know that my part in the story has ended. It is your turn." Frodo replied, then continued on with his book."
"What a lame excuse." Will commented.
Aragorn felt across the stone wall.
"What are you looking for?" Jack asked.
"A door." His eyes lightened up when he found it.
"How do you open it? Do you have a key or what?" Will asked.
"Speak Friend, and Enter." Merry said.
"Friend!" Jack cried. He stared at the door for a while. "Why isn't this door opening?"
Those who were from Middle Earth burst out laughing. Jack glared at them. "Well?"
"And if it were that easy, anyone could get through, and there would be no reason for a secret door." Pippin said.
"Then how exactly do you open it?" Anamaria asked.
"Mellon." Aragorn said.
The door opened, like it had on their last journey.
"Some Friend! More like fruit." Jack cried. The group laughed again, and then they walked through the door.
"Jack, Mellon happens to be friend in Elvish." Sam told him solemly.
"Do you think that the Balrog still dwells here?" Merry asked.
"No, Merry, you know that Gandalf killed it on our first journey." Aragorn calmy responded.
"What is the Balrog?" Anamaria asked.
"The Balrog was one of the spirits of the ancient world, who were second only to Sauron as the most terrifying and deadly servants of Morgoth (the Dark Lord before Sauron.) Balrogs were fire demons with whips of flame, though they were also cloaked in shadow…" Aragorn began.
"Ok! Enough!" Sam cried.
"Uhh…What?" Jack asked, completely confused. "I didn't get a single thing you just said mate!"
"What he means is that they are the third in command, as the most terrifying and deadliest servants of a Dark Lord." Legolas said. "They were demons with a whip of flame as a weapon. Savvy?" Legolas added, winking at Jack.
"Don't you go stealing my phrase Mr. Elf boy!"
The rest of the group shook their heads as the two began to bicker. Suddenly, Will remembered a question he had to ask Aragorn.
"Hey Aragorn, why does Legolas call you Estel?" Will said loudly, interrupting the two that were bickering. "I hear from Legolas it means Hope in Elvish."
"Well, it all started about eighty to ninety years ago, when I was naught more than a baby. It's a long story." Aragorn started. "My father was as-assassinated by orcs. May you never know what these filthy creatures are. "
"Aragorn…I'm sorry about your father…" Will said.
"My mother took me to Rivendell, and that is where I was raised by Elrond half-elven. She was afraid that I too, would be killed."
"Wait, before you continue, one question." Jack interrupted. "Why would your father be assassinated?"
"Now that is an even longer story." Aragorn groaned. "Far back, in the olden days, Sauron, servent of Morgoth, the Dark Lord forged a ring…"
Three
for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
"That is what was engraved on the ring. A ring with the power of destruction." This went on for some time, until they had finally finished up the story, that we all know very well about, do we not? (hehehe* I'm very lazy to type that all out)
After they had finished explaining the entire long story of the Ring and how it came to be, Anamaira suddenly asked, "So how does connect you if it happened so many years ago?"
"The Last Alliance. An Alliance of Men and Elves. All very brave, set out to fight on the slopes of Mount Doom. Fought they did, and they were close to victory. It was then the Dark Lord Sauron appeared on the field. Elendil, the king attacked him, but Sauron parried it, and flung him to a rock, where it crushed him. He died. It was in this moment when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the King, took up his father's sword. Then he sliced the finger that held the One Ring. Sauron, the enemy of the free-peoples of Middle-Earth was defeated. The Ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever." Legolas said solemly.
"He did not destroy it?" Will asked.
"No, he did not. The hearts of men are easily corrupted, and so the Ring lived."
"So how is Aragorn and his father connected?"
"The Blood of Isildur runs through my veins." Aragon said.
It had been a day since they had entered the Mines of Moria. The day had passed so fast, since they were busy explaining about Aragorn's past, and the War of the Ring. Little did the three pirates know, Sauron had risen again…
"Almost there!"
"Almost where? Strider, what do you mean almost there? The mines of Moria takes days to—"
"Aragorn? Legolas?" a voice cried. "Is that you walking through these mines?" Aragorn and Legolas turned in the direction of voice, only to find a cluster of dwarfs.
"Gimli!!" Legolas cried.
"Who?" Will asked.
"I would like you to meet Gimli, the dwarf, a dear friend of mine." Legolas told the pirates. "Gimli, meet Anamaria, Will, and Jack."
"A pleasure to meet you. Any friend of Legolas's is my friend!" Gimli said. "You, Laddie, you look just like Legolas." Gilmi said, as he spotted Will.
Suddenly, from behind a rock, something left it's hiding place…
TBC!!
