#28 Waybread

The morning light broke over the Anduin. The Fellowship of the Ring which consisted of Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli, Merry, Pippin, Sam, Frodo, and Legolas were getting everything ready to continue their journey to Mordor wherein the fiery pits of Mt. Doom, Frodo would attempt to destroy the One Ring.

The Elves of Lothlórien had been gracious enough to give the company new clothing, food, and other such things as would be needed to help them on their dangerous quest. As Legolas was busy putting supplies into the boat, he turned to Merry and Pippin who were sitting in one of the small boats.

"Lembas bread. Elvish waybread," Legolas said as he unwrapped a large green leaf and took a little bite. "One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man." Legolas then finished packing and left.

Merry took a glance at his friend. "How many did you eat?"

Pippin picked his teeth and gave a small smile. "Four."

Merry nodded as Pippin belched.
