Chapter 8: MORNING: Frodo and Sam walked into the stable to saddle up their pony Bill, when they heard a strange voice mumbling something in the far stable. "What do you make of it Mr. Frodo?" whispered Sam. "I don't know Sam... lets go see what it is." replied Frodo creaping over to the far horse padock and pearing in. It was Zefron brushing Tampla, speaking to her in elvish with his hood down revealing his long brownish hair in a perfect braid. "What are you saying Zefron?" asked Frodo opening up the door to the stall. Zefron spun around, startled by the hobbits and quickly putting up the hood to his robe, then smiled at the hobbits. "I was talking to Templa about the journey back to Mordor, she can understand both the Common Tongue and elvish you know. Frodo, I have seen what is going to happen to you and Sam... so if you are ever in my need blow this whistle and I will send someone to help you." said Zefron holding out a silver whistle, exactly like the one around his neck. "Thank you Zefron, we must get Bill ready now." said Frodo putting the whistle around his neck along with the ring. Zefron nodded and saddled up Templa quickly and putting a small dagger in a hidden sheth in his boot which was covered by his robe. With that done he started to walk Templa out of the barn. "Zefron wait, you forgot your bow." said Sam holding out the black bow with silver designs on it. "Thank you Sam, I would have killed myself if I had forgotten it." said Zefron reaching out and grabing it from Sam. "Do you want to see something little hobbits?" Sam and Frodo nodded. Zefron threw his bow up in the air and with a flash of light it came down... not as a bow, but as a staff, much like the one Saruman has except Zefron's didn't have the white ball in the middle. "Amazing trick Zefron, are ye going to show the others?" asked Sam. "In due time halfling. Now you two get Bill... we have a long journey ahead of us. I will meet you out front." said Zefron changing his staff back into a bow and slinging it over his right sholder. Then jumping into Templa's back and riding to meet with the others. "What, you can't walk all the way to Mordor?" asked Gimli pointing to Templa. "Yes I can and have Master dwarf, although I just prefer to be the one who goes ahead and makes sure that the road is safe for the ringbarrier to go through... but if you would prefer me to leave her here then I can leave her here." said Zefron. "No don't Zefron, we may be in need of her assistance later on." said Gandalf walking over. Legolas walked down the steps and Frodo, Sam and the pony Bill came over. "We're all here, let us be on our way." said Gandalf walking towards the gate, away from Rivendell and on their long journey to Mordor. -!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!- Not the most interesting chappie ever but please review!!!
