The high king of Gondor sat in his throne room, awaiting his next meeting.
He pulled the fur blanket closer around him and stood up. It had been awfully cold all week and most of the castle servants had caught a cold. He stared longingly out the window, hoping it to provide some kind of entertainment; it didn't. He had been up since 3 o'clock today because of a horrible dream. Aragorn did not remember the dream, but it was disturbing enough, to awaken him.
He looked out the window and saw in the distance, where the land of Mordor used to thrive, smoke was rising. This also disturbed Aragorn, high king of Gondor, for fifteen years ago, to the day, he and nine others set out to destroy the ring of power. Two men, four hobbits, one elf, a dwarf, and Gandalf the gray. ( Now known as Gandalf the white)
I must ask Gandalf about that when I get the chance, the King thought to himself.
" My liege," a servant called, " you have visitors."
" My next appointment I assume," responded Aragorn, " tell them I'll be right with them."
" Yes your highness." The servant said as he walked towards the door.
-----------------------------------
Gandalf rode quietly towards the White City with Frodo in tow. He thought about how long it had been since he had last set eyes on the grand city. Too long, for a good friend resided in this city, he ruled it better than any king ever before.
Frodo was also lost in his own thoughts, thinking about the ring, about his last excursion with it.
I wonder what he must want with it, how it survived, how he survived. Frodo was jolted out of his thoughts when he heard the blaring of a loud horn.
" They know we're here.", Gandalf said with a smirk, " They must want to be sure that any unwanted visitors are kept out." Frodo nodded slightly, wandering back to his own thoughts.
" You should really pay attention Frodo, we don't want you to miss anything." Gandalf said hinting at something unforeseen. Frodo wondered about that last comment, what could it mean, but he didn't linger on it for too long.
" Gandalf! Frodo! So nice to see a friendly face," A voice cried out.
Frodo looked up and saw Lady Arwen, in all her splendor, walking towards them, followed by a servant holding up the hem of her train, and after the servant came a young boy.
" Let me introduce my son, Arwagon," Arwen said, motioning towards the boy standing behind the servant. The boy stepped out slightly, but it was enough to see his stunning features; how well Aragorn's and Arwen's looks complemented each other when combined.
The boy looked around thirteen years of age with short, brown, curly hair. He had a roguish look about him, like his father, but at second glance he had high cheek bones and smooth unblemished skin, taking after his Elfish mother. He held himself high, shoulders back, chest out, making him appear taller than his five foot two stature.
" I am honored to meet you," Arwagon told them, bowing slightly.
" The honor is ours your highness." Gandalf replied, tipping his hat.
" Well, why are we standing out here in the cold?", Lady Arwen asked sweetly," Let's go inside where it is warmer. I'm sure Aragorn will be delighted to see you both again. I has been, how long? Oh,, I forget, but too long since we last saw each other." Lady Arwen said, as she lead their ( Gandalf and Frodo's ) horse toward the castle..
" I believe it has already been fifteen years Lady Arwen." Frodo said quietly.
" Really? Then let me correct myself then, it has been really too long since we have seen each other.", Lady Arwen responded as she turned and smiled at Frodo," By the way, if I may ask, what is the reason of your visit?"
" You will know in a matter of time Lady Arwen." Gandalf said dismissively as they reached the castle.

A small creature hobbled towards a great iron wrought bed. A stream of light entered the room via the open door and shone onto the bed where you could see the outline of a man. The creature stopped, hesitant to move any closer to the mass of iron, but the man beckoned for the creature to proceed.
" Why have you disturbed me? I hope it is for a good reason, is it not?" The man said, breaking the eerie silence; that seemed to engulf the dark place.
" Yess Master,, we would nevers disturb youss if not for a good reason." The creature replied quickly, trying to conceal the fear in his voice.
" So you have it,, it is finished, you are just here to deliver it." The man said.
" A smart one you iss Masster. Yess, we have comess to givess it to you." The creature squealed, between hoarse chuckles, as he slowly crawled to his master's side. In his right hand a small gold chain stuck out in between his grimy fingers. When he reached the bed side his master extended his hand, and the creature dropped the chain into his grip.
" Thank you Gollum, you are excused." The man said finally, drawing in his hand to hold the chain closer to himself.
" Yess Master." Gollum said bowing his head as he shuffled backwards out of the dark room . A few moments passed and you could hear the creatures hands and feet slap against the stone floors, as he made his way down to the kitchen for a snack. The man spoke again, but only to himself and to the chain in his hand. " We are together again, precious, and this time, our plan will work. We will win.",
A small humming emitted from his hand, and so he opened it up and the hum got stronger, " What is that? You think someone knows? Who?", The humming stopped, like the chain was thinking. Then the humms started again but stopped abruptly after they started, " The wizard Gandalf? Yes it all makes sense, I felt a presence the night when the blacksmith re-forged you into the emblem on this chain.", the man said as he opened his hand all of the way. Inside his hand was a gold chain with a pendant. The pendant was gold with a black stone embedded in it. On the black stone there was writing that resembled the Elfish that was on the one ring, " But you sensed another didn't you? We must find the other one, won't we Precious?" The man said as he closed his hand and fell asleep.
