Chapter 2:

The new day is started, and I went on my way again. It was another great day. Everything was in peace, and the weather was sunny. The birds were humming in melody, and it became background music to my ears. Butterflies and bees flew across the flowers, and sometimes, some deer were caught in my sight. Soon they ran away after saw me. Further away, there were some mountains of Weather Hills. I wanted to put that beautiful sight into the picture, and soon regretted that I didn't take it on my adventure. After the noontime, I could get to the Last Bridge. It told that I reached to the half course of my travel. If I need to include the course going back to Shire from Rivendell, it would be the quarter of whole course. Me, and my horse took a break in the riverside. The water was really clear, and tasty.The horse also seemed like happy on this trip. I sat for a moment, and carefully thought about this trip. The summary was that this travel was really good. It would be sounds like funny, but in that time, I praised myself who planned this great adventure.

However, the good time soon ended. When I was walking through the wood, I found some huge creatures were standing in the glade. In that moment, my heart stopped, and the fear of death swallowed me. Those things were standing in two legs, and even larger than two horses put together. Those creatures were the trolls, which had strong power and ruthless to humans. By the huge fear, the first thing I thought was run. However, I soon changed my decision, because I thought if they hear the sound I'm running, they'll soon catch me and squash me into jelly. What I could do was quickly got off from the horse, and hid myself into the bush in beside. I put my head down, and started praying to any god I knew to let those trolls can't find me and just go away. I was too scared, so I couldn't even breath hard, worrying that those guys can hear the sound of my breath.

After some minute, I carefully put up my head, and saw those trolls again. The trolls were still standing in there, without even moving a hand. Quickly I put my bodies down again, and waited until trolls go away. Like that, I waited more than two hours, but trolls still didn't move from the place they were standing two hours ago. I felt curious, so I did the action which would be the bravest thing I did in my life. I found a stone, and threw it to the other side of the glade. It was clear that the stone made a sound audible to the trolls, but trolls still didn't move, like a stone. It was the time I realized that there were grasses growing on the body of trolls. Now everything became clear. These trolls were the one came out in the story of Bilbo Baggins. They were trying to eat the group of Dwarves, and at last became stone by the help of Gandalf. I was being scared by the trolls that already turned into stone 20 years ago! In a moment, I didn't know what to do. What I only did was staring those trolls with foolish eyes. After a second, I glade filled with my loud voice of laughter.

While I was seeing the stones once were trolls, I noticed the cave located beside the stones. When I went inside the cave, I saw the things that trolls once looted from others. I got exited, because what Bilbo said was completely correct. In there, I could find some gold, silver and jewels. Also, I found out a knife in a jar. It was small, and really light. This knife let me think about the story of Sting from Bilbo Baggins. Although I wanted a peace travel, but I thought it would be better to have a weapon to protect myself when I'm in danger. The appeal of stone troll statues mean that I'm now in the edge of wild. It means the way of travel would be harder than before. Also, I had a small desire to make a story about this sword, like Sting. I decided to give name to the knife when it makes a contribution.

It didn't take a long time to put those things in my bag and keep going on my way. However, the sun soon went down, and the spirit of darkness descended on the world. It was the third night I was in this forest. Everything was still peaceful, instead of the dream I had in that night. I was in a battleground. There were people that I saw yesterday. They were fighting hard against their opponent. Their opponents were the monsters. I couldn't see the face even more fearsome than them. They were huge, frightful and awful. I got scared. There were many monsters, but only some humans, dwarves and elves were fighting against them. I also saw two hobbits were running away from them. Another two hobbits and a human tried to block monsters which tried to catch them.

The battle was really intense. Many monsters were killed, but they didn't stop their attacks. In that moment, a human got a shot by the monster's arrow, and fell on the ground. His colleague soon slashed that monster, but it was too late. I also saw two hobbits were caught by those monsters. I couldn't do anything instead of watching them struggle on the monster's back to get out. At the last, the forest became calm again, with the countless dead body of monsters. The man hit by arrow was still having breath, but it seemed like there is no much hope. A soldier came to him, and said something to him. The sound was so small, that I couldn't hear what he was saying to the person on the ground. At last, the guy on the ground didn't move anymore, which means he's dead. In that time, I opened my eyes, and there were no more battle dead monsters in front of me. I was in the forest where I needed to be.
