The Battle for Middle Earth

by Rebel Loveless

After the 60 years that Link helped Thorin Oakensheild and the rest of the company reclaim the Lonely Mountain, a new threat has summoned him back to Middle Earth. After saving Frodo's life, protecting him on his quest should be no problem for one who traveled the lands before, right? That is, if the blood feud between the races of Hylian's and Elves doesn't get in the way.

2. Frodo Awaken's

I met up with Gandalf once more, and he was in the room where the Hobbit was recovering, and a new Hobbit.

" Link, I am glad you came." Gandalf spoke. The other Hobbit looked at me.

" Are you the one who staved off the poision enough to save him?" the Hobbit asked.

" That I am." I answered emotionlessly. He stood in front of me.

" Thank you for saving him. I'm Samwise Gamgee. Guardian of Frodo for now." He said.

" Link, Hero of Time, Son of None." I said once more without emotion before walking to the pillar, crossing my arms and leaning against it as I looked out. It wasn't long before the Hobbit, Frodo, began to awake.

I watched as Frodo asked," Where am I?"

Gandalf answered.

" You are in the house of Elrond. And it is Ten O'clock in the morning on October the Twenty-Fourth if you want to know." Gandalf the Grey answered. Frodo opened his eyes and saw him.

" Gandalf." He stammered.

" Yes. I'm here. And you're lucky to be here too. A few more hours and you would've been beyond our aid. Luckily an old friend managed to stop the poision from reaching you until you arrived." Gandalf told him.

" Old Friend? Bilbo?" Frodo asked.

" No my dear Frodo. A friend I doubt you ever heard of. Link, Son of None." The wizard said motioning to me.

Frodo looked towards me. I kept a straight, blank face as I looked at him.

" You… stopped the poision?" he asked.

" Yes, I did. Luckly I had a bottle of Red Potion from Hyrule to stop it just enough for Arwen and I to bring you here." I answered with a slight nod.

" What exactly happened Gandalf? Why didn't you meet us?" he asked the wizard.

" Oh I am sorry Frodo. I was delayed." He said. He seemed to blank out, as if remembering a memory.

" Gandalf?" I asked before Frodo could.

" What is it?" I asked when the wizard seemed to snap back to reality.

" Nothing." The wizard replied rather quickly. I wanted to question him further when Samwise came into the picture, seeing Frodo and calling out his name. They had a happy reunion.

" Sam has hardly left you're side. By the skills of Lord Elron though, you are beginning to mend." Gandalf said, turning to the Elf Lord as he appeared.

" Welcome to Rivendell, Frodo Baggins." He said.
