The Fellowship struggled as they walked through waist-deep snow in the middle of a blizzard. Aragorn carried Frodo and Sam in his arms. Boromir carried Merry and Pippin. Gimli pulled their pony along behind only one not struggling was Legolas. He walked over the snow as he went to the front of the group. Everyone stopped as they heard voices. One was a deep elderly voice speaking in another language.
"There is a fell voice on the air", Legolas said.
"It's Saruman!" Gandalf yelled over the wind.
Everyone looked up as boulders fell from the top of the mountain. Everyone backed into the stone wall avoiding the boulders.
"He's trying to bring down the mountain!" Aragorn yelled. "Gandalf, we must turn back!"
"No!" Gandalf said raising his staff yelling out an incantation.
Boromir turned his head as he heard another small voice.
"Boromir!"
"Listen!" Boromir yelled over the wind. "There is another voice!"
He turned away from the Fellowship trying to hear the faint voice.
"Who is it?" Merry asked.
"Boromir, where are you!"
"It's Solatiri!"
Boromir was shocked to hear she was there on the mountain, alone in the blizzard. He wanted to run back down the mountain and get Solatiri off the mountain and some place safe.
"Solatiri!" he yelled in her direction.
Everyone looked up to see a bolt of lightning hit the top of the mountain. Boulders and snow came falling down onto the Fellowship, burying everyone on that path.
Solatiri struggled to walk through the deep snow as the blizzard blew strong. The snow in the air blinded her as she looked up the mountain. She knew Boromir was up there. She had to reach them before either she or they would freeze to death in this weather.
"Boromir!" she yelled up the mountain.
Solatiri wrapped her cloak tightly around her as she continued to walk. The air was getting colder the higher she got up the mountain. Solatiri gasped as she heard a rumbling coming above her. She looked up to see boulders falling from the top of the mountain.
"Boromir!"
She struggled to walk faster as she heard a duel of incantations above her. One of the voices sounded like Gandaf, but the other was a complete stranger.
"Boromir, where are you!" Solatiri yelled up the mountain.
"Solatiri!"
She looked up as she heard Boromir's voice on the air. Just then a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. Solatiri gasped as snow came falling down the mountain. To her relief most of the snow fell on the ledge above her, but more snow fell, coming down on top of her.
"Boromir!" she screamed.
Her screams were silenced as the snow fell on top of her, completely burying her from head to toe leaving no trace that she was ever there.
Legolas popped his head out of the snow as everyone came to grips on what just happened. Aragorn pushed Frodo to the surface and pushed the snow off Sam as he coughed up the snow he breathed in. Gimli growled as he shook the snow off him.
"We must get off the mountain!" Boromir yelled as he came up of the snow. "Make for the Gap of Rohan, and take the west road to my City!"
"The Gap of Rohan takes us too close to Isengard!" Aragorn yelled back.
"We cannot pass over a mountain", Gimli said. "Let us go under it. Let us go through the Mines of Moria."
Gandalf looked at Gimli with a mix of disturbance and horror. He did not want to go through the mines but he feared he may have no choice.
"Let the Ring-bearer decide", he answered.
Everyone looked at Frodo waiting for a decision. Frodo looked at everyone wondering which way to go.
"We cannot stay here!" Boromir said. "This will be the death of the Hobbits!"
He looked at Merry and Pippin who were shivering and held them close trying to keep them warm.
"Frodo?" Gandalf said waiting for an answer.
"We will go through the Mines", Frodo answered.
"So be it."
Boromir turned as everyone began to go back. Hopefully they would find Solatiri safe and sound.
