I could tell that we were near the camp before I saw it. I could smell the smoke. As we turned the corner, I could see the faint glow of firelight. As Strider caught up, he introduced me to everyone I hadn't met yet.
Legolas was an elf, with blond hair that had a braid down the back. Gandalf was a wizard that wore grey robes and a grey hat that had a wide brim and a pointed top. Frodo was a hobbit with dark curly hair, while the others, Sam, Merry, and Pippin, had blond curls.
They all seemed nice. Even Gimli set down his axe once Gandalf confirmed that my story wasn't a lie.
When I went to sit down, the only open spot was near Frodo.
"What is your name?" he asked.
"I don't know," I replied. "Call me… Call me Alex."
"Alex. Okay."
Then Pippin and Merry started singing. I don't know why, but I started to sing along.
Home is behind,
The world ahead.
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows,
To the edge of night.
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow, Cloud and shade
All shall fade, all shall fade
