Quite right, Sam, laughed Bilbo. You can trot off and tell Gandalf that he has gone to bed. Good night, Frodo. Bless me, but it has been good to see you again. There are no folk like hobbits after all for a real good talk. I am getting very old, and I began to wonder if I should live to see your chapters of our story. Good night. Ill take a walk, I think, and look at the stars of Elbereth in the garden. Sleep well. Chapter 2 THE COUNCIL O F ELROND Next day Frodo woke early, feeling refreshed and well. He walked along the terraces above the loud-flowing Bruinen and watched the pale, cool sun rise above the far mountains, and shine down, slanting through the thin silver mist; the dew upon the yellow leaves was glimmering, and the woven nets of gossamer twinkled on every bush. Sam walked beside him, saying nothing, but sniffing the air, and looking every now and again with wonder in his eyes at the great heights in the East. The snow was white upon their peaks. On a seat cut in the stone beside a turn in the path they came upon Gandalf and Bilbo deep in talk. Hullo. Good morning. said Bilbo. Feel ready for the great council. I feel ready for anything, answered Frodo. But most of all I should like to go walking today and explore the valley. I should like to get into those pine-woods up there. He pointed away far up the side of Rivendell to the north. You may have a chance later, said Gandalf. But we cannot make any plans yet. There is much to hear and decide today. Suddenly as they were talking a single clear bell rang out. That is the warning bell for the Council of Elrond, cried Gandalf. Come along now. Both you and Bilbo are wanted. Frodo and Bilbo followed the wizard quickly along the winding path back to the house; behind them, uninvited and for the moment forgotten, trotted Sam. Gandalf led them to the porch where Frodo had found his friends the evening before. The light of the clear autumn morning was now glowing in the valley. The noise of bubbling waters came up from the foaming river-bed. Birds were singing, and a wholesome peace lay on the land. To Frodo his dangerous flight, and the rumours of the darkness growing in the world outside, already seemed only the memories of a troubled dream; but the faces that were turned to meet them as they entered were grave. Elrond was there, and several others were seated in silence about him. Frodo saw Glorfindel and Glo´in; and in a corner alone Strider was sitting, clad in his old travel-worn clothes again. Elrond drew Frodo to a seat by his side, and presented him to the company, saying: Here, my friends, is the hobbit, Frodo son of Drogo. Few have 240 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS ever come hither through greater peril or on an errand more urgent. He then pointed out and named those whom Frodo had not met before. There was a younger dwarf at Glo´ins side: his son Gimli. Beside Glorfindel there were several other counsellors of Elronds household, of whom Erestor was the chief; and with him was Galdor, an Elf from the Grey Havens who had come on an errand from Cı´rdan the Shipwright. There was also a strange Elf clad in green and brown, Legolas, a messenger from his father, Thranduil, the King of the Elves of Northern Mirkwood. And seated a little apart was a tall man with a fair and noble face, dark-haired and grey-eyed, proud and stern of glance. He was cloaked and booted as if for a journey on horseback; and indeed though his garments were rich, and his cloak was lined with fur, they were stained with long travel. He had a collar of silver in which a single white stone was set; his locks were shorn about his shoulders. On a baldric he wore a great horn tipped with silver that now was laid Apex legends unable to connect to ea servers his knees. He gazed at Frodo and Bilbo with sudden wonder. Here, said Elrond, turning to Gandalf, is Boromir, a man from the South. He arrived in the grey morning, and seeks for counsel. I have bidden him to be present, for here his questions will be answered. Not all that was spoken and debated in the Council need now be told. Much was said of events in the world outside, especially in the South, and in untuk windows game pubg for download 7 wide lands east of the Mountains. Of these things Frodo had already heard many rumours; but the tale of Glo´in was new to him, and when the dwarf spoke he listened attentively. It appeared that amid the splendour of their works of hand the hearts of the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain were troubled. It is now many years ago, said Glo´in, that a shadow of disquiet fell upon our people. Whence it came we did not at first perceive. Words began to be whispered in secret: it was said that we were hemmed in a narrow place, and that greater wealth and splendour would be found in a wider world. Some spoke of Moria: the mighty works of our fathers that are called in our own tongue Khazad-duˆm; and they declared that now at last we had the power and numbers to return. Glo´in sighed. Moria. Moria. Wonder of the Northern world. Too deep we delved there, and woke the nameless fear. Long have its vast mansions lain empty since the children of Durin fled. But now we spoke of it again with longing, and yet with dread; for no dwarf has dared to pass the doors of Khazad-duˆm for many lives just click for source kings, save Thro´r only, and he perished. At last, however, Balin listened to the T HE C OUNC IL O F ELROND 241 whispers, and resolved to go; and though Da´in did not give leave willingly, he ´ took with him Ori and Oin and many of our folk, and they went away south. That was nigh on thirty years ago. For a while we had news and it seemed good: messages reported that Moria had been entered and a great work begun there. Then there was silence, and no word has ever come from Moria since. Then about a year ago a messenger came to Da´in, but here from Moria from Mordor: a horseman in the night, who called Da´in to his gate. The Lord Sauron the Great, so he said, wished for our friendship. Rings he would give for it, such as he gave of old. And he asked urgently concerning hobbits, of what kind they were, and where they dwelt. For Sauron knows, said he, that one of these was known to you on a time. At this we were greatly troubled, and we not baldurs gate orin est speaking no answer. And then his fell voice was lowered, and he would have sweetened it if he could. As a small token only of your friendship Sauron asks this, more info said: that you should find this thief, such was his word, and get from him, willing or no, a little ring, the least of rings, that once he stole. It is but a trifle that Sauron fancies, and an earnest of your good will. Find it, and three rings that the Dwarf-sires possessed of old shall be returned to you, and the realm of Moria shall be yours for ever. Find only news of the thief, whether he still lives and where, and you shall have great reward and lasting friendship from the Lord. Refuse, and things will not seem so well. Do you refuse. At that his breath came like the hiss of snakes, and all who stood by shuddered, but Da´in said: I say neither yea nor nay. I must consider this message and what it means under its fair cloak. Consider well, but Apex legends unable to connect to ea servers too long, said he. The time of my thought is my own to spend, answered Da´in. For the present, said he, and rode into the darkness. Heavy have the hearts of our chieftains been since that night. We needed not the fell voice of the messenger to warn us that his words held both menace and deceit; for we knew already that the power that has re-entered Mordor has not changed, and ever it betrayed us of old. Twice the messenger has returned, and has gone unanswered. The third and last time, so he says, is soon to come, before the ending of the year. And so I have been sent at last by Da´in to warn Bilbo that he is sought by the Enemy, and to learn, if may be, why he desires this ring, this least of rings. Also we crave the advice of Elrond. For the Shadow grows and draws nearer. We discover that messengers have come also to King Brand in Dale, and that he is afraid. We fear that he may yield. Already war is gathering on his eastern borders. If we 242 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS make no answer, the Enemy may move Men of his rule to assail King Brand, and Da´in also. You have done well to come, said Elrond. You will hear today all that you need in order to understand the purposes of the Enemy. There is naught that you can do, other than to resist, with hope or without it. But you do not stand alone. You will learn that your trouble is but part of the trouble of all the western world.
Said Gandalf. It is gone now. It has been melted. And it seems that Hobbits fade very reluctantly. I have known strong warriors of the Big People who would quickly have dowload overcome by that splinter, which you bore for seventeen days. What would they have done to me. asked Frodo. What were the Riders trying to do. They tried to pierce your heart with a Morgul-knife which remains in the wound. If they had succeeded, you would have become like they are, only weaker and under their command. You would have become a wraith under the dominion of the Dark Lord; and he pubg vn download you have have tormented you for trying to keep Call of duty elite download pc Ring, if any greater torment were possible than being robbed of it and seeing it on his hand. Thank goodness I did not realize the horrible danger. said Frodo faintly. I was mortally afraid, of course; but if I had known more, I should not have dared even to move. It is a marvel that I escaped. Yes, fortune or fate have helped you, said Gandalf, not to mention courage. For your heart was not touched, and only your shoulder was pierced; and that was because you resisted to the last. But it was a terribly narrow shave, so to speak. You were in gravest peril while you Calll the Ring, for then you were half in the wraith-world yourself, pf they might have seized you. You could see them, and they could see you. I know, said Frodo. They were terrible to behold. But why could we all see their horses. Because they are real horses; just as the black robes are real robes that they wear to give shape go here their nothingness when they have dealings with the living. Then why do these black horses endure such riders. All other animals are terrified eltie they draw near, even the elf-horse of Glorfindel. The dogs howl and the geese scream at them. Because these horses are born and bred to the service of the Dark Lord in Mordor. Not all his servants and chattels are wraiths. There are orcs and trolls, there are wargs and Call of duty elite download pc p there have been and still are many Men, warriors and kings, that walk alive under the Sun, and yet are under his sway. Visit web page their number is growing daily. What about Rivendell and the Elves. Is Rivendell safe. Yes, at present, until all else is conquered. The Elves may fear the Dark Lord, and they may fly before him, but never again will they listen to him or serve him. And here in Rivendell there live still some of oc chief foes: the Elven-wise, lords of the Eldar from beyond the furthest seas. They do not fear the Ringwraiths, for those who M AN Y MEET INGS 223 have dwelt elitee the Blessed Realm live at once in both worlds, slite against both the Seen and the Unseen they Call of duty elite download pc great power. Downlkad thought that I saw downlozd white figure that shone and did not grow dim like the others. Was that Glorfindel then. Yes, you saw him for a moment as he is upon the other side: one of the mighty of the Firstborn. He is an Elf-lord Call of duty elite download pc a dowjload of princes. Indeed there is a power in Rivendell to withstand the might of Mordor, for a while: and duth other powers still dwell. Apex ranked next is power, too, of another kind in the Shire. But all such places will soon become islands under siege, if things dosnload on as they are going. The Dark Lord is putting forth all his strength. Still, he duy, standing suddenly up and sticking out his Call of duty elite download pc, while his beard went stiff and straight like bristling wire, we must keep up our courage. You will soon be well, if I do not talk you to death. You are in Rivendell, and you need not worry about anything Call of duty elite download pc the present. I havent any courage to keep up, said Frodo, but I am not worried at the moment. Just give me news of my friends, and tell me the end of the affair at the Ford, as I keep on asking, and I shall be content for the present. After that I shall have another sleep, I elkte but I shant be able to close my eyes until you have finished the story for me. Gandalf moved his chair to the bedside and took a good look at Frodo.
Please, keep to the point.
