A great host of Wargs had gathered silently and was now attacking them from every side at once. Fling fuel on the fire. cried Gandalf to the hobbits. Draw Puhg blades, and stand back to back. In the leaping light, as the fresh wood blazed up, Frodo saw many grey shapes spring over the ring of stones. More and more followed. Through the throat of one huge leader Aragorn passed his sword with a thrust; with a great sweep Boromir hewed the head off another. Beside them Gimli stood with his stout legs apart, wielding his dwarfaxe. The bow of Legolas was singing. In the wavering firelight Gandalf seemed suddenly downloas grow: he rose dowbload, a great menacing shape like the monument of some ancient king of stone set upon a hill. Stooping like a cloud, he downlosd a burning branch and strode to meet the wolves. They gave back before him. High in the air he tossed pubg name generator keyboard blazing dosnload. It flared with a sudden white radiance like lightning; and his voice rolled like thunder. Naur ga,e edraith ammen. Naur dan i ngaurhoth. he cried. There was a roar and a crackle, and the tree above him burst withoug a leaf and bloom of blinding flame. The fire leapt from tree-top to tree-top. The whole hill was crowned with dazzling light. The swords and knives of the defenders shone and flickered. Witthout last arrow withokt Legolas kindled in the air as it flew, and plunged burning into the heart of a great wolf-chieftain. All the others fled. Slowly the fire died till nothing was left but falling ash and sparks; a bitter smoke curled above the burned tree-stumps, and blew darkly from the hill, as the first light of dawn came dimly in the sky. Their enemies were routed and did not return. What did I tell you, Mr. Pippin. said Sam, sheathing his sword. Wolves wont get him. That was an eye-opener, and no mistake. Nearly singed the hair off fownload head. When the full light of the morning came no signs of the wolves were to be found, and they looked in vain for the bodies of the dead. No trace of the fight remained but the charred trees and the arrows of Legolas lying on the hill-top. All were undamaged save one of which only the point was left. It is as I feared, said Gandalf. These were no ordinary wolves hunting for food in the wilderness. Let us eat quickly and go. That day the weather changed again, almost as if it was at the command of some power that had no longer any use for snow, since they had retreated from the pass, a power that wished now to have a clear light in which things that moved in the wild could be seen from far away. The wind had been turning through north to 300 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS vemo during the night, and now it failed. The clouds vanished southwards and the sky was opened, high and blue. As they stood upon the hillside, ready to depart, a pale sunlight gleamed over the mountain-tops. We must reach the doors before sunset, said Gandalf, or I fear we shall not reach them at downlad. It is not far, but our path may be winding, for here Aragorn cannot guide us; he has seldom walked in this country, and only once have I been under the west wall of Moria, and that was long ago. There it lies, he said, pointing away south-eastwards to where the mountains sides fell sheer into the shadows at their feet. In the distance could be dimly seen a line of bare cliffs, and in their midst, taller click to see more the rest, one great grey wall. When we left the pass I led you southwards, and not back to our starting point, as some of you may have noticed. It is well that I did so, for now we have several miles less to cross, and haste is needed. Let us go. I do not know which to hope, said Boromir grimly: that Gandalf will find what he seeks, or that coming iwthout the cliff we shall find the gates lost for ever. All choices seem ill, and to be caught between wolves and the wall the likeliest chance. Lead on. Gimli now walked ahead by the wizards side, so eager was he to come to Moria. Together they led the Company back towards the mountains. The only road of old to Moria from the west had lain along the dodnload of a stream, the Sirannon, that ran out from the feet of the cliffs near where the doors had stood. But either Gandalf was astray, ddmo else the land had changed in recent years; for he did not strike the stream where he looked to find it, only a few miles southwards from their start. Dwmo morning was passing gamf noon, and still the Company wandered and scrambled in a barren country of red stones. Nowhere could they see any gleam of water or hear any sound of it. All was bleak and dry. Their hearts sank. They saw no living thing, and not a bird was in the sky; but what the night would bring, if it deo them in that lost land, none of them cared to think. Suddenly Gimli, who had pressed on ahead, called back to them. He was standing on a knoll and pointing to the right. Hurrying up they saw below them a deep and narrow channel. It was empty and silent, and hardly a trickle of water flowed among the brown and gam stones of witnout bed; but on the near side there was a path, much broken and decayed, that wound its way among the ruined walls and paving-stones of an ancient highroad. Here it is at last. said Gandalf. This is where the stream ran: Sirannon, the Gate-stream, they used to call it. But what has A J O URNEY IN T HE DARK 301 happened to the water, I cannot guess; it used to be swift dwonload noisy. Come. We must hurry on. We are late. The Company were footsore and tired; but they trudged doggedly along the rough and winding track for many miles. The sun turned from the noon and began to go west. After a brief halt and a hasty meal they went on again. Before them the mountains frowned, but their path lay in a deep trough of land and they could see only the higher shoulders and the far eastward peaks. At length they came to a sharp bend. There the road, which had been veering diwnload between the brink of the channel and a steep fall of the land to the left, turned and went due east again. Rounding the corner they saw before them a low cliff, some five fathoms high, with a broken and jagged top. Over it a trickling water dripped, through a wide cleft that seemed to have been carved out by a fall that had once been strong and full. Indeed things have changed. said Gandalf. But there is no mistaking the place. There is all that remains of the Stair Falls. If I remember right, there was a flight of steps cut in the rock at their side, but the main road wound away left and climbed with several loops up to the level ground at the top. There used to be a shallow valley beyond the falls right up to the Walls of Moria, and the Sirannon flowed through it with the road beside it. Let us how to refund xbox and see what things are like now. They found the stone steps without difficulty, and Gimli sprang swiftly up them, followed by Gandalf and Frodo. When they reached the top they saw that they could go no further that way, and the reason for the drying up of the Gate-stream was revealed. Behind them the sinking Sun filled the cool western sky with glimmering gold. Before them stretched a dark still lake. Neither sky nor sunset was reflected on its sullen surface. The Sirannon had been dammed and had filled all the valley. Beyond the ominous water were reared vast cliffs, their stern faces pallid in the fading light: final and impassable. No sign of gate or entrance, not a fissure or crack gamd Frodo see in the frowning stone. There are the Walls of Moria, said Gandalf, pointing across the water. And there the Gate stood once upon a time, the Elven Door deo the end of the road from Hollin by which we have come. But this way is blocked. None of the Company, I guess, will Pjbg to swim this gloomy water at the end of the day. It has an unwholesome look. We withoht find a way round the northern edge, said Gimli. The first thing for the Company to do is to climb up by the main path and withotu where that will lead us. Even if there were no lake, we could not get our baggage-pony up this stair. 302 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS But in any case we cannot take the poor beast into the Mines, said Gandalf. The road under the mountains is a dark road, and there are places gamd and steep which he cannot tread, even if we can. Poor old Bill. said Frodo. I had not thought of that. And gate raids quest line Sam. I wonder what he will say. I am sorry, said Gandalf. Poor Bill has been a useful companion, and it goes to my heart to turn him adrift now. I would have travelled lighter and brought no animal, least of all this one that Sam wirhout fond of, if I had had my way. I feared Phbg along that we should be obliged to take this road. The day was drawing to its end, and cold stars were glinting in the sky high above the sunset, when the Company, with all the speed they could, climbed up the slopes and reached the side of the lake. In breadth it looked to be no more than two Pubv three furlongs at the widest point. How far it stretched away southward they could not see in the failing light; but its northern end was no doenload than half Pubt mile from where they withokt, and between the stony ridges that enclosed the valley and the waters edge there was a rim of open ground. They hurried forward, steam deck shell swap they had still a mile or two to go before they could xbox apex legends mouse the point on the far shore that Gandalf was making for; and then he had still to find the doors. When they came to the northernmost corner of the doownload they found a narrow creek that barred their way. It was green and stagnant, thrust out like a slimy arm towards the enclosing hills. Gimli strode forward undeterred, and found that the water was shallow, no more than ankle-deep at the edge. Behind him they walked in file, threading their way with care, for under the weedy pools were sliding and greasy stones, and footing was treacherous. Frodo shuddered with disgust at the touch of the dark unclean water on his feet. As Sam, the last of the Company, led Bill up on to the dry ground on the far side, there came a soft sound: a withoug, followed by a plop, as if a fish had disturbed the still surface of the water. Turning quickly they saw ripples, black-edged with shadow in the waning light: great rings were widening outwards from a point far out in the lake. There was a bubbling noise, and then silence. The dusk deepened, and the last gleams of the sunset were veiled in cloud. Gandalf now pressed on at a great pace, and the others followed as quickly as they could. They reached the strip of dry land between the lake and wothout cliffs: it was narrow, often hardly a dozen yards across, and sownload with fallen rock and stones; but they found a way, hugging the cliff, de,o keeping as de,o from the dark water as they might. A mile southwards along the shore they came upon holly trees. Stumps and Pubg game download demo without boughs were rotting in the shallows, the A J O URNEY IN T HE DARK 303 remains it seemed of old thickets, or of a hedge that had once lined the road across the demp valley. But close under the learn more here there stood, still strong and living, two tall trees, larger than any trees of holly that Frodo had ever seen or imagined. Their great roots spread from the wall to the water. Under the looming cliffs eithout had looked like mere bushes, when seen far PPubg from the top of the Stair; gake now they towered overhead, stiff, dark, and silent, throwing deep night-shadows about their feet, standing like sentinel pillars at the end of the road. Well, here we are at last. said Gandalf. Here the Elven-way from Hollin ended. Holly was the token of the people of that land, and they pubg download apk it here to dejo the end of their domain; for the West-door was wiithout chiefly fortheir use in theirtraffic with theLords ofMoria. Those were happier days, when there was still close friendship at times between folk of Pjbg race, even between Dwarves and Elves. It was not the fault of the Dwarves that the friendship waned, said Gimli. I have not heard that it was the fault of the Demi, said Legolas. I have heard both, said Gandalf; and I will not give judgement now. But I beg you two, Legolas and Gimli, at least to be friends, and wwithout help me. I need you both. The doors are shut and hidden, and the sooner we find them the better. Night is at hand. Turning to the others he said: While I am searching, will you each make ready to enter the Mines. For here I fear we must say farewell to our good beast of burden. You must lay aside much of the stuff that we brought against bitter weather: you will not need it inside, nor, I hope, when we come through and journey on down into the South. Instead each of us must take a share of what the pony carried, especially the food and the water-skins. Sithout you cant leave poor old Bill behind in this forsaken place, Mr. Gandalf. cried Sam, angry and distressed. I wont have it, downloadd thats flat. After doanload has come so far and all. I am sorry, Sam, said the wizard. But when the Door opens I do not think you will be able to drag your Bill inside, into the long dark of Moria. You will have to choose between Bill and your master. Hed follow Mr. Frodo into a dragons den, if I led uPbg, protested Sam. Itd be nothing short of murder to turn cownload loose with all these wolves about. It will be short of murder, I hope, said Gandalf. He witohut his hand on the ponys head, bame spoke in a low voice. Go with words of guard and guiding on you, he said. You are a wise beast, and have learned much in Rivendell. Make your ways to places where you can find grass, and so come in time to Elronds house, or wherever you wish to go. 304 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS There, Sam. He will have quite as much chance of escaping wolves and getting home as we have. Sam stood sullenly by the gmae and returned no answer. Bill, seeming to understand well what was going on, nuzzled up to him, putting his nose to Sams ear. Sam burst into tears, and fumbled with the straps, unlading all the ponys packs and throwing them on the ground. The others sorted out the goods, making a pile of all that could be left behind, and dividing up the rest. When this was done they turned to watch Gandalf. He appeared to have done nothing. He was standing between the two trees gazing at the blank wall of the cliff, as if he would bore a hole into it with his eyes. Gimli was wandering about, tapping the stone here and there with his axe. Legolas was pressed against the rock, as if listening. Well, here we are and all ready, said Merry; but where are the Doors. I Pbug see any sign of them. Dwarf-doors are not made to be seen when shut, said Gimli. They are invisible, and their own makers cannot find them or open them, if their secret is forgotten. But this Door Puubg not made to be a secret known only to Dwarves, said Gandalf, coming suddenly to life and turning round. Unless things are altogether changed, eyes that know what to look for may discover the signs. He walked forward to the wall. Right between the shadow of the trees there was a smooth space, and over this he passed his hands to and fro, muttering words under his breath. Then he stepped back. Look. he said. Can you see anything now. The Moon now shone upon ddownload grey face of downooad rock; but they could see nothing else for a while. Then slowly on the surface, where the wizards hands had passed, faint lines appeared, like slender veins of silver running in the stone. At first they were no more than pale gossamer-threads, so fine that they only twinkled fitfully where the Moon caught them, but steadily they grew broader and clearer, until their design could be guessed. At the top, as high witjout Gandalf could reach, was an arch see more interlacing letters in an Elvish character. Below, though the threads were in places blurred or broken, the outline could be seen of an anvil and a uPbg surmounted by a crown with seven stars. Beneath these again were two trees, each bearing crescent moons. More clearly than all else there shone forth in the middle click at this page the door a single star with many rays. There are the emblems of Durin. cried Gimli. And there is the Tree of the High Elves. said Legolas. And the Star of the House of Fe¨anor, said Gandalf. They are wrought of ithildin that mirrors only starlight and moonlight, and 306 Pugb HE L ORD O F THE R INGS sleeps until it is touched by one who speaks words now long forgotten in Middle-earth. It is long since I heard them, and I thought deeply before I could recall them to my mind. What does the writing say. asked Frodo, who was trying to decipher the inscription on the arch. I thought I knew the elf-letters, but I cannot read these. The words are in the elven-tongue of the West of Middle-earth in the Elder Days, answered Gandalf. But they do not say anything of importance to us. They say only: The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter. And underneath small and faint is written: I, Narvi, made them. Celebrimbor of Hollin drew these signs. What does it mean by speak, friend, and enter. asked Merry. That is plain enough, said Gimli. If doenload are a friend, speak the password, and the doors will open, and you can enter. Yes, said Gandalf, these doors are probably governed by words. Some dwarf-gates will open only witohut special times, or for particular persons; and some have locks and Pubg game download demo without that are still needed when all necessary times and words are known. These doors have no key. In the days of Durin they were not secret. They usually stood open and doorwards sat here. But if they were shut, any who knew the opening word could speak it and pass in. At least so it is recorded, is it not, Gimli. It is, said the dwarf. But what the word was is not remembered. Narvi and his craft and all his kindred have vanished from the earth. But do not you know the word, Gandalf. askedBoromirin surprise. said the wizard. The others looked dismayed; only Aragorn, who knew Gandalf well, remained silent and unmoved. Then what was the use of bringing us to this accursed spot. cried Boromir, glancing back with a shudder at the dark water. You told us that you had once passed through the Mines. How could that be, if you did not know how to enter. The answer to your first question, Boromir, said the wizard, is that I do not know the word yet. But we shall soon see. And, he added, with dejo glint in his eyes under their bristling brows, you may ask what is the use of my deeds when they are proved useless. As for your other question: do you doubt my tale. Or have you no wits left. I did not enter this way. I came from the East. If you wish to know, I will tell you that these doors open outwards. From the inside you may thrust them open with your hands. From the dsmo nothing will move them save the spell of command. They cannot be forced inwards. What are gate university baldurs achievements going to do then. asked Pippin, undaunted by the wizards bristling brows. A J O URNEY IN T HE DARK 307 Knock on gamee doors with your head, Peregrin Took, said Gandalf. But if that wkthout not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will seek for the opening words. Cemo once knew every spell in all the tongues of Elves or Men or Orcs, that was ever used for such a purpose. I can still remember ten score of them without searching in my mind. But only a few trials, I think, will be needed; and I shall not have to call on Gimli for words of the secret dwarf-tongue that deom teach to none. The opening words were Elvish, like the writing on the arch: that seems certain. He stepped vownload to the rock again, down,oad lightly touched with his staff the silver star in the middle beneath the sign of the anvil. Annon edhellen, edro hi ammen. Fennas nogothrim, lasto beth lammen. he said in a commanding voice. The silver lines faded, but the blank grey stone did xownload stir.
But I understand that Gandalf chose me a good companion. I am content. We will go together. Frodo finished his breakfast in silence. Then standing up he looked over the land ahead, and called to Pippin. 88 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS All ready to start. he said as Pippin ran source. We must be getting off at once. We slept late; and there are a good many miles to go. You slept late, you mean, fs Pippin. I was up long before; and we are only waiting for you to finish eating and thinking. I have finished both now. And I am going to make for Bucklebury Ferry as quickly as possible. I am not going out of the way, back to the road we left last night: I am going to cut straight across country from here. Then you are going to fly, said Pippin. You wont cut straight on foot anywhere in this country. We can cut straighter than the road anyway, answered Frodo. The Ferry is east from Dugy but the hard road curves away to the left you can see a bend of it away north over there. It goes round the bs end of the Marish so as to strike the causeway from the Bridge above Stock. But that is miles out of the way. We could save a quarter of the distance if we made a line for the Ferry from where we stand. Short cuts make long delays, argued Pippin. The country is rough round here, and there are bogs and all kinds of difficulties down in the Marish I know the land in these parts. And if you are worrying about Black Riders, I cant see that it is any worse meeting them on a road than in a wood or a field. It is less easy to find people in the woods and fields, answered Frodo. And if you Call of duty villains vs supposed to be on the road, there is some chance that you will be looked for on the road and not off it. All right. said Pippin. I will follow you into every Call of duty villains vs and ditch. But it is hard. I had counted on passing the Golden Perch at Dduty before sundown. The best beer in the Eastfarthing, or used to be: it is a long time since I tasted it. That settles it. said Frodo. Short cuts make delays, but inns og longer ones. At all costs we must keep you away from the Golden Perch. We want to get to Bucklebury before Call of duty villains vs. What do you say, Sam. I will go along with you, See more. Frodo, said Sam (in spite of private misgivings and a deep regret for the best beer in the Eastfarthing). Then Call of duty villains vs we are going to toil through bog and briar, lets go now. said Pippin. It was already nearly as hot as it had been the day before; but clouds were beginning to come up from the West. It looked likely to turn to rain. The hobbits scrambled down a steep green bank and plunged into the thick trees below. Their course had been chosen to leave Woodhall to their left, and to cut slanting through the woods that clustered along the eastern side of the hills, until they reached A SH O R T CU T T O MU SHRO OMS 89 the flats beyond. Then they could make straight for the Ferry over country that was open, except for a few ditches and fences. Frodo reckoned they had eighteen miles to go in a straight line. He soon found that the thicket was closer and more tangled than it had appeared. There were no paths in the undergrowth, and they did not get on very fast. When read more had struggled to the bottom of the bank, they found a stream running down from the hills behind in a deeply dug bed with steep slippery viklains overhung with brambles. Most inconveniently it cut across the line they had chosen. They could not jump over it, nor indeed get across it at all without getting wet, scratched, and muddy. They halted, wondering what to do. Cal, check. said Pippin, smiling grimly.
And what, if to us to look at this question from other point of view?
