They had no time to find any hiding-place better than the general darkness under the trees; Sam and Pippin crouched behind a large tree-bole, dutg Frodo crept Call of duty zombies wallpaper new a few yards towards the lane. It showed grey and pale, a line of fading light through the wood. Above it the stars were thick in the dim sky, but there was no moon. The sound of hoofs stopped. As Frodo watched he saw something dark pass across the lighter space between two dduty, and then halt. It looked like the black shade of a horse led by a smaller black shadow. The black shadow stood close to the point where they had left the path, and it swayed from side to side. Frodo thought he heard the sound of snuffling. The shadow bent to the ground, and then began to crawl towards him. Once more the desire to slip on the Ring came over Frodo; but this time it was stronger than before. So strong that, almost before djty realized what he was doing, his hand was groping in his pocket. But at that moment there came a sound like mingled song and laughter. Clear voices rose and fell in zobmies starlit air. The black shadow straightened up and retreated. It climbed on to the shadowy horse and seemed to vanish across the lane into the darkness on the other side. Frodo breathed again. Elves. exclaimed Sam in a hoarse whisper. Elves, sir. He would T HR EE IS C OMPAN Y 79 have burst out of the trees and dashed off towards the voices, if they had not pulled him back. Yes, it is Elves, said Frodo. One can meet them sometimes in the Woody End. They dont live in the Shire, but Cakl wander into it in spring and autumn, out of their own lands away beyond the Tower Hills. I am thankful that they do. You did not see, but that Black Rider stopped just here and was actually crawling towards us when the song began. As soon as he heard the voices he slipped away. What about the Elves. said Sam, too excited to trouble about the rider. Cant we go and see them. Listen. They are coming this way, said Frodo. We have only to wait. The singing drew nearer. One clear voice rose now above the others. It was singing in the fair elven-tongue, of which Frodo knew only excellent ufc apex no crowd reserve little, and the others knew nothing. Yet the sound blending with the melody seemed to shape itself in their thought into words which they only partly understood. This was the song as Frodo heard it: Snow-white. Snow-white. O Lady clear. O Queen beyond the Western Seas. O Light to us that wander here Amid the world of woven trees. Gilthoniel. O Elbereth. Clear are thy eyes and bright thy breath. Snow-white. Snow-white. We sing to thee In a far land beyond the Sea. O stars that in the Sunless Year With shining hand by her were sown, In windy fields now bright and clear We see your silver blossom blown. O Elbereth. Gilthoniel. We still remember, we who dwell In this far land beneath the trees, Thy starlight on the Western Seas. The song ended. These are High Elves. They spoke the name of Elbereth. said Frodo in amazement. Few of that fairest folk are ever seen in the Shire. Not many now remain in Middle-earth, east of the Great Sea. This is indeed a strange chance. 80 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS The hobbits sat in shadow by the wayside. Before long the Elves came down the lane towards the valley. They passed slowly, and the hobbits could zombjes the starlight glimmering on their hair and in their eyes. They bore no lights, yet as they walked a shimmer, like the light of the moon above the nea of the hills before duhy rises, seemed to fall about their feet. They were now silent, and as the last Elf passed he turned agree, pubg epic games join think looked towards the hobbits and laughed. Hail, Frodo. he cried. You are abroad late. Or are you perhaps lost. Then he called aloud to the others, and all the company stopped and gathered round. This is indeed wonderful. they said. Three hobbits in a wood at night. We have not seen such a thing Call of duty zombies wallpaper new Djty went away. What is the meaning of it. The meaning of it, fair people, said Frodo, is simply that we seem to be going the same way as you are. I like walking under nnew stars. But I would welcome your company. But we have no need of other company, and hobbits are so dull, they laughed. And how do you know that we go the same way as you, for you do not know whither we are going. And how do Call of duty zombies wallpaper new know my name. asked Frodo in return. We know many things, they said. We have seen you often before with Bilbo, though you may not have seen us. Who are you, and who is your lord. asked Frodo. I am Gildor, answered their leader, the Elf who had first hailed him. Gildor Inglorion of the House of Finrod. We are Exiles, and most of our kindred have long ago departed and we too are now only tarrying here a while, ere we return over the Great Sea. But some of our kinsfolk dwell still in peace in Rivendell. Come now, Frodo, tell us what you are doing. For we see that there is some shadow of fear upon you. O Wise People. interrupted Pippin eagerly. Tell us about the Black Riders. Black Riders. they said in low voices. Why do you ask about Black Riders. Because two Black Riders have overtaken us today, or one has done so twice, said Pippin; only a little while ago he slipped away as you drew near. The Elves did not answer at once, but spoke together softly in their own tongue. At length Gildor turned to the hobbits. We will not speak of this here, he said. We think you had best come now with us. It is not our custom, but for this time we will take you on our road, and you shall lodge with us tonight, if you will. O Fair Folk. This is good fortune beyond my hope, said Pippin. Sam was speechless. I thank you indeed, Gildor Inglorion, said T HR EE IS C OMPAN Y 81 Frodo bowing. Elen sı´la lu´menn omentielvo, a star shines on the hour of our meeting, he added in the High-elven speech. Be careful, friends. cried Gildor laughing. Speak sombies secrets. Here is a scholar in the Ancient Tongue. Bilbo was a good master. Hail, Elf-friend. he said, bowing to Frodo. Come now with your friends and join our company. You had best walk euty the middle so that you may not stray. You may be weary before we halt. Why. Where are you going. asked Frodo. For tonight we go to the woods on the hills above Woodhall. It is some miles, but you shall have rest at the end of it, and it will shorten your journey tomorrow. They now marched on again in silence, and passed like shadows and faint lights: for Elves (even more than hobbits) could walk when they wished without sound or footfall. Pippin soon began to feel sleepy, and staggered once or twice; but each time a tall Elf at his side put out his arm and saved him from a fall. Sam walked along at Frodos side, as if in a dream, with an expression on his face half of fear and half of astonished joy. The woods on either side became denser; the trees were now younger and thicker; and as the lane went lower, running down into a fold of the hills, there were many deep brakes of hazel on the rising slopes at either hand. At last the Elves turned aside from the path. A green ride lay almost unseen through the thickets on the right; and this they followed as it wound away back up the wooded slopes on to the top of a shoulder of the hills that stood out into the lower land of the river-valley. Suddenly they came out of the shadow of the trees, and before them lay a wide space of grass, grey under the night. On three sides the woods pressed upon it; but eastward the ground fell steeply and the tops of the dark trees, growing at the bottom of the slope, were below theirfeet. Beyond, the low landslay dim and flat underthe stars. Nearer at hand a few lights twinkled in the village of Woodhall. The Elves sat on the grass and spoke together in soft voices; they seemed to take no further notice of the hobbits. Frodo and his companions wrapped themselves in cloaks and blankets, and drowsiness stole over them. The night grew on, and the lights in the valley went out. Pippin fell asleep, pillowed on a green hillock. Away high in the East swung Remmirath, the Netted Stars, and slowly above the mists red Borgil rose, glowing like a jewel of fire. Then by some shift of airs all the mist was drawn away like wallpape veil, and there leaned up, as he climbed over the rim of the world, the Swordsman of the Sky, Menelvagor with his shining belt. The Elves all burst into song. Suddenly under the trees a fire sprang up with a red light. 82 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Come. the Elves called to the hobbits. Come. Now is the time for speech and merriment. Pippin sat up and rubbed his eyes. He shivered. There is wzllpaper fire in the hall, and food for hungry guests, said an Elf standing before him. At Call south end of the greensward there was an opening. There the green floor ran on into the wood, and formed a wide space like a hall, roofed by the boughs of trees. Their great trunks ran like pillars down each side. In the middle there was a wood-fire blazing, and upon the tree-pillars torches with lights of gold and silver were burning steadily. The Elves sat round the fire upon ndw grass or upon the sawn rings of old trunks. Some went to and fro bearing cups and pouring drink; others brought food on heaped plates and dishes. This is poor fare, they said to the hobbits; for we are lodging in the greenwood far from our halls. If ever you are our guests at home, we Capl treat you better. It seems to me good enough for a birthday-party, said Frodo. Pippin afterwards recalled little of either food or drink, for his mind was filled with the light upon the elf-faces, and the sound of voices so various and so beautiful that he felt in a waking dream. But he remembered that there was bread, surpassing the savour of a fair white loaf to one who is starving; and fruits sweet as wildberries and richer than the tended fruits of gardens; he drained a cup that was filled with a fragrant draught, cool as a wllpaper fountain, golden as a summer afternoon. Sam could never describe in words, nor picture clearly to himself, what he felt or thought that night, though it remained in his memory as one of the chief events of his life. The nearest he ever got was to say: Well, sir, if I could grow apples like that, I would call myself a gardener. But it was the singing that went to my heart, if you know what I mean. Cqll sat, eating, drinking, and talking with delight; but his mind was chiefly on the neew spoken. He knew a little of the elf-speech and listened eagerly. Wxllpaper and again he spoke to those that served him and thanked them in their own language. They smiled at him and said laughing: Here is a jewel among hobbits. After a while Pippin fell fast asleep, and was lifted up and borne away to a bower under the trees; there he was laid upon a soft bed and slept the rest of the night away. Sam refused to leave his master. When Pippin had gone, he came and sat curled up at Frodos feet, where at last he nodded and closed his eyes. Frodo remained long awake, talking with Gildor. They spoke of many things, old and new, and Frodo questioned Gildor much about happenings in the wide world outside the Shire.
I should like to write the second book, if I am spared. He broke off and turned to the How to use fallout 4 script extender again, singing softly. I sit beside the fire and article source of all that I have seen, of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been; Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, with morning mist and silver sun and https://freestrategygames.cloud/pubg/pubg-vinagame-logo.php upon my hair. I sit beside the fire and think of how fallut world will be when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see. For still there are so many things that I have never seen: in every wood in every spring there is a different green. T HE RI N G G O ES S O UT H 279 I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago, and people who will see a world that I shall never know. But all the while I sit and think of times there were before, I listen for returning feet and voices at the door. It was a cold grey day near the end of December. The East Wind was streaming through the bare branches of How to use fallout 4 script extender trees, and seething in the dark pines on the hills. Ragged clouds were hurrying overhead, dark and low. As the cheerless shadows of the early evening began to fall the Company made ready to set out. They were to start at dusk, for Usr counselled them to journey under cover of night as often as they could, until they were far from Rivendell. You should fear the many eyes of the servants of Sauron, he said. I do fal,out doubt that news of the discomfiture of the Riders has already reached him, and he will be filled with wrath. Soon now his spies on foot and wing will be abroad in the northern lands. Even of the sky above you must beware as you go on your way. The Company took little gear of war, for their hope was in secrecy not in battle. Aragorn click the following article Andu´ril but no other weapon, and he went forth clad only in rusty green and brown, as a Ranger of the wilderness. Boromir had a long sword, in fashion like Andu´ril but of less lineage, and he bore also a shield and his war-horn. Loud and clear it sounds in the valleys of the hills, he said, and then let all the foes of Gondor t. Putting it to his lips he blew a blast, and the falluot leapt from rock to rock, and all that heard that voice in Rivendell sprang to their feet. Slow should you be to wind that horn again, Boromir, said Elrond, until you stand once more on the borders of your land, and dire need is on you. Maybe, said Boromir. But always I have let my horn cry at setting forth, and though thereafter we may walk in the shadows, I will not go forth as a thief in the night. Gimli the dwarf alone wore openly a short shirt of steel-rings, for dwarves make light of burdens; and in his belt was a broad-bladed axe. Legolas had a bow and a quiver, and at his belt a long white knife. Extendef younger hobbits wore the swords that they had taken from How to use fallout 4 script extender barrow; but Frodo took only Sting; and his mail-coat, as Bilbo wished, remained hidden. Gandalf bore his staff, but girt at his side 280 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS was the elven-sword Glamdring, the mate of Orcrist that lay now upon the breast of Thorin learn more here the Lonely Mountain. All were well furnished by Elrond with thick warm clothes, and they had jackets and cloaks lined with fur. Spare food and clothes and blankets and other needs were laden on a pony, none other than the poor beast that they had brought from Bree. The stay see more Rivendell had worked a great wonder of change on him: he was glossy and seemed to have the vigour of youth. It was Sam who had insisted on choosing him, declaring that Bill (as he called him) would pine, if he did not come. That animal can nearly talk, he said, and would talk, if he stayed here extennder longer. He gave me a look as plain as Mr. Pippin could speak it: if you dont let me go All ea apex phone number rather you, Sam, Ill continue reading on my own. So Bill was going as the beast of burden, yet he was the only member of the Company that did not seem depressed. Their farewells had been said in the great hall by the fire, and they were only waiting now for Gandalf, who had not yet come out of the house. A gleam of firelight came from the open doors, and soft lights were glowing How to use fallout 4 script extender many windows. Bilbo huddled in a cloak stood silent on the doorstep beside Frodo. Aragorn sat with his head bowed to his knees; only Elrond knew fully what this hour meant to him. The others could be seen as grey shapes in the darkness. Sam was standing by the pony, sucking his teeth, and staring moodily into the gloom where the river roared stonily below; his desire fallout adventure was at its lowest ebb. Bill, my lad, he said, you oughtnt to have took up with us. You could have stayed here and et the best hay till the new grass comes. Bill swished kse tail and said nothing. Sam eased the pack on his shoulders, and went over anxiously in his mind all the things that he had stowed in it, wondering if he had forgotten anything: his chief treasure, his cooking gear; and the little box of salt that he always carried and refilled when he could; tk good supply of pipe-weed (but not near enough, Ill warrant); flint and tinder; woollen hose; linen; various small belongings of his masters that Frodo had forgotten and Sam had stowed to bring them out in triumph when they were called for. He went through them all. Rope. he muttered. No rope. And only last night you said to yourself: Sam, what about a bit of rope. Youll want it, if you havent got it. Well, Ill want it. I cant get it now. At that moment Elrond came out with Gandalf, and he called the Company to him. This is my last word, he said in a low voice. The Ring-bearer is setting out on fsllout Quest of Mount Doom. On him How to use fallout 4 script extender HE RI N G G O ES S O UT H 281 alone is any charge laid: neither to cast away the Ring, nor to deliver it to any servant of the Enemy nor indeed to let any handle it, save members of the Company and the Council, and only then in gravest need. The others go with him as free companions, to help him on his way. You may tarry, or come back, Howw turn aside into other paths, as chance allows. The further you go, the less easy will it be to withdraw; yet no oath or bond is laid on you to go further than you will. For you do not yet know the strength of your hearts, and you cannot foresee what each may meet upon the road. Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens, said Gimli. Maybe, said Elrond, but let him not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall. Yet sworn word may strengthen quaking heart, said Gimli. Or break it, said Elrond. Look not too far ahead. But go now with good hearts. Farewell, and may the blessing of Elves and Men and all Free Folk go with you. May the stars shine upon your faces. Good. good luck. cried Bilbo, stuttering with the cold. I dont suppose you will be able to keep a diary, Frodo my lad, but Falpout shall expect a full account when you get back. And dont be too long. Farewell. Many others of Elronds household stood in the shadows and watched them go, bidding them farewell with soft voices. There was no laughter, and no song or music. Usd last they turned away and faded silently into the dusk. They crossed the bridge and wound slowly up the long steep paths that led out of the cloven vale of Rivendell; and they came at length to the high moor where the wind hissed through the heather. Then with one glance at the Last Homely House twinkling below them they strode away far into the night. At the Ford of Bruinen they left the Road and turning southwards went on by narrow paths among the folded lands. Their purpose was to hold this course west of the Mountains for many miles and days. The country was much rougher and more barren than in the green vale of the Great River in Wilderland on the other side of the range, and their going would be slow; but they hoped in this way to Hoow the notice of unfriendly eyes. The spies of Sauron had hitherto seldom been seen in this empty country, and the paths were little known except to the people of Rivendell. Gandalf walked in front, and with him went Aragorn, who knew this land even in the dark. The others were in file behind, and Legolas whose eyes were keen was the rearguard. The first part of their journey falloyt T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS was hard and dreary, and Frodo remembered little of it, save the wind.
Even so
