Chapter Two

The morrow came too soon for all of the fellowship, the next morning they had another discussion with the lady of the woods, she directed them on the course they should take to reach the black land of Mordor.

"What eneterances are there open to us into these lands" asked Boromir as they settled down to talk

"The pass of minas morgul still holds open" replied the lady of the wood, "there is a possibility that you will be able to pass through the black gate, but this is guarded by orcs and manned by trolls"

"You make the task seem nigh impossible" said Aaragorn with a laugh

"it is, there is a small hope of success, but we must cling to it…" the lady's demeanour was now incredibly demurred, "I looked into my mirror this night, all I can tell you is that if the fellowship remains as a whole past a day after you hear the roar of the caradras then one of your party will die"

"the fellowship be broken?" asked Boromir, "Why?"

"Boromir son of Denathor, the power of the ring will grow"

Boromir suddenly quieted, Aragorn guessed that the lady of the woods had spoken to him in her silent manner.

"you will take the river, the boats of lothlorien will carry you to the caradras" Cereborn spoke from beside his wife, Aragorn I would speak to you"

Aragorn raised an eyebrow but followed the elf lord a little way away from the rest of the fellowship,

X Estel, there is danger, the scouts have mentioned that they have seen strange creatures following you, you are being hunted, carry this with you X

Aragorn pulled the blade open

X My thanks to you Cereborn, for the warning and the blade X

Aragorn made a short bow to the elf lord

X Away with you Estel X

Araagorn returned to the company his friends

X what did he wish to speak to you of? X asked Legolas

X apparently there are some manner of evil creature hunting us X muttered Aragorn

X Then we must hope that this plan will carry us faster than these creatures X

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

(a few hours later)

"Legolas, Aragorn" Pippin burst into the clearing where Legolas and Aragorn were still standing, "The lady of the woods has asked that you come and join us because we are soon to be away"

"Then we had better come as it does not do to keep the lady of the golden woods waiting" said Aragorn, a short run later they were standing in a line with the rest of the fellowship.

"Never before have we dressed strangers in the garb of our people, we hope it will protect you" Cereborn sounded almost as if he was already regretting the decision

After they had received their gifts from Galadriel they set forth along the river.

After sometime spent in deep thought Sam tapped Frodo on the shoulder

"You remember the Lady's warning?"

"Yes"

"Well I just wanted to say, I'm not going to leave you Mr Frodo, I promised Gandalf that I wouldn't leave or lose you" Sam crossed his arms, "and I don't plan on doing either"

Frodo shook his head

"Poor dear Sam"

"Call me what you like…I'm still coming with you"

Being in the back of their boat Aragorn heard the conversation, surprisingly it did not trouble him, in fact he was glad that Frodo would be travelling with another person, this way they could almost be certain that the ring would not completely drain Frodo of all his strength when there was no person to see or aid him, he raised an eyebrow at his own thoughts they were unusually prophetic for him, he shrugged it off…so Frodo and Sam would be going to Mordor, so who would be going to Rohan, he was certain that some of the members of the fellowship must surely be there when Rohan's need was great because of the prophecy spoken of by professor Trelawney, he highly doubted that the people of Rohan would welcome wizards, at this point in time they would be more likely to kill them. He knew in his heart that he would have to travel there, he was on good terms with the people of Rohan, better than the terms he held with the people of Gondor.

Boromir couldn't stop thinking about what Galadriel had said to him this morning, if the fellowship did not part sooner than a day after they could first hear the Caradras then he would die. He did not fear death or pain all that he feared was he would be unable to fight for his country iin their times of need, he knew that the fellowship would have to part, he plunged his paddle into the water and looked around, he noticed that Aragorn also seemed to be deep in thought, Boromir hoped that Aragorn would not be ammoung those who chose the road to Mordor.

Gimli hummed gently.

"This must be something new" said the elf behind him, "a dwarf humming, not only this but humming in tune"

"och laddie if you knew any better…us dwarves are widely know for our musical talents" said Gimli

"it must have escaped the thirteen dwarves that were held captive by the king of mirkwood some seventy years ago, I was on guard duty for some of the time they were being held there, I had never before or after have I heard such appaling singing"

"I hope you will realise that my father was one of the dwarves your court held captive for so long"

"I meant no offense my dear dwarf, but I believe they were purposefully singing badly to cause us pain as their captives"

"oh that would be, tis an old dwarvish trick on you elves, its supposed to make you let us go more quickly"

"well it evidently didn't work with my father's guards" smirked Legolas

"well you wood elves were always know to be slightly crazy" laughed the dwarf

"watch what you say dwarf I may take enough offense to tip you into the river"

"you wouldn't dare"

"care to try?"

The dwarf was silent, Legolas laughed quietly, he highly doubted that he and Gimli would be taking different paths.
