Chapter 2 – Agreement
After thinking for a while, Father continued his words and looked at me with the eyes of sadness. I knew that he did not want me to leave him after coming back from the fellowship of the Ring.
"Its not that I did not want to let you go but you were foretold that you are not suitable to go near the sea especially during the evenings when the seagulls cries are heard. Its said that, that will be time when you will be gone to the Lord."
I know that Father did not want to lose me but I want to go for an adventure which might changed my destiny…. I can feel it! I have to persuade Father about it. I want to go. I begged Father and told him that I promised him that I would come back in a piece. I told Father that I will be fine and that my friends will be there for me when I need help.
"Father, please. I am an adult and that I am over a thousand year old now. I will take care of myself. I promise you if anything happen to me, the red sun will rise in our kingdom."
"Ok. You promised me you will come back in one piece if the Red Sun did not rise."
"Yes Father."
"Ok, you may go." Said Father will letting out a sighed.
I know that he did not want to let me go. Its not that he did not want to let me go but he is afraid that something might happen to me. I understand Father. After all, which Father will not be protective to his son? I went to have my lunch which was being prepared by Father. I had longed to eat home-cooked food since the day I left home. I am getting tired of eating lembas everyday but it will be my source of food again during my adventure with Aragon and Gimli. Father was quieter after I told him about going to the sea. I know that he is worried. After lunch, I went up to my room and wrote a letter telling Aragon and Gimli to come to my place. I tied the written letters on my pigeon's feet and sent it to my companions. We travel light so I will only be bringing my bow and arrows not forgetting the lembas. I lied on the Elven bed and closed my eyes for some rest. I remember the time when I was at the council with the dwarfs and men, the time when Gimli and I argued about the Ring. I wondered what had made the dwarfs and elves fight. Why do they have bad blood in them? I was wondering what had made me to follow the fellowship. It's a good thing because I learn more about the nature and other kins in Middle Earth. Gimli and I were good friends. Other elves or dwarfs may think its strange to see us together but what matters most is the friendship we had together. It was the most memorable thing during the fellowship. As I was waiting for the letters, I heard a knock on the door. Who could that be? Could it be Father? I walked towards the door and opened it. Father came in with a smile on his face. He was holding a box . What could that be?
" There is something I would like to give you"
