Frodo. Wake up. Had the voice added: Your breakfast is ready, he would hardly have been surprised. Certainly Sam was urgent. Wake up, Mr. Frodo. Theyre gone, he said. There was a dull clang. The gates of Minas Morgul had closed. The last rank of spears had vanished down the road. The tower still grinned across the valley, but the light was fading in it. The whole city was falling back into a dark brooding shade, and silence. Yet still it was filled with watchfulness. Wake up, Mr. Frodo. Theyre gone, and wed better go too. Theres something still alive in that place, something with eyes, or a seeing mind, if you take me; and the longer we stay in one spot, the sooner it will get on to us. Come on, Mr. Cold war ops metacritic call black duty of. 708 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Frodo raised his head, and then stood up. Despair had not left him, but the weakness had passed. He even smiled grimly, feeling now as clearly as a moment before he had felt the opposite, that what he had to do, he had to do, if he could, and that whether Faramir or Aragorn or Elrond or Galadriel or Gandalf or anyone else ever knew about it was beside the purpose. He took his staff in one hand and the phial in his other. When he saw that the clear light was already welling through his fingers, he thrust it into his bosom and held it against his heart. Then turning from the city of Morgul, now no more than a grey glimmer across a dark gulf, he prepared to take the upward road. Gollum, it seemed, had crawled off along the ledge into the darkness beyond, when the gates of Minas Morgul opened, leaving the hobbits where they lay. He now came creeping back, his teeth chattering and his fingers snapping. Foolish. Silly. he hissed. Make haste. They mustnt think danger has passed. It hasnt. Make haste. They did not answer, but they followed him on to the climbing ledge. It was little to the liking of either of them, not even after facing so many other perils; but it did not last long. Soon the path reached a rounded angle where the mountain-side swelled out again, and there it suddenly entered a narrow opening in the rock. They had come to the first stair that Gollum had spoken of. The darkness was almost complete, and they could see nothing much beyond their hands stretch; but Gollums eyes shone pale, several feet above, as he turned back towards them. Careful. he whispered. Steps. Lots of steps. Must be careful. Care was certainly needed. Frodo and Sam at first felt easier, having now a wall on either side, but the stairway was almost as steep as a ladder, and as they climbed up and up, they became more and more aware of the long black fall behind them. And the steps were narrow, spaced unevenly, and often treacherous: they were worn and smooth at the edges, and some were broken, and some cracked as foot was set upon them. The hobbits struggled on, until at last they were clinging with desperate fingers to the steps ahead, and forcing their aching knees to bend and straighten; and ever as the stair cut its way deeper into the sheer mountain the rocky walls rose higher and higher above their heads. At length, just as they felt that they could endure no more, they saw Gollums eyes peering down at them again. Were up, he whispered. First stairs past. Clever hobbits to climb so high, very clever hobbits. Just a few more little steps and thats all, yes. Dizzy and very tired Sam, and Frodo following him, crawled up the last step, and sat down rubbing their legs and knees. They were T HE STAIR S O F CIRITH U NGOL 709 in a deep dark passage that seemed still to go up before them, though at a gentler slope and without steps. Gollum did not let them rest long. Theres another stair still, he said. Much longer stair. Rest when we get to the top of next stair. Not yet. Sam groaned. Longer, did you say. he asked. Yes, yess, longer, said Gollum. But not so difficult. Hobbits have climbed the Straight Stair. Next comes the Winding Stair. And what after that. said Sam. We shall see, said Gollum softly. O yes, we shall see. I thought you said there was a tunnel, said Sam. Isnt there a tunnel or something to go through. O yes, theres a tunnel, said Gollum. But hobbits can rest before they try that. If they get through that, theyll be nearly at the top. Very nearly, if they get through. O yes. Frodo shivered. The climb had made him sweat, but now he felt cold and clammy, and there was a chill draught in the dark passage, blowing down from the invisible heights above. He got up and shook himself. Well, lets go on. he said. This is no place to sit in. The passage seemed to go on for miles, and always the chill air flowed over them, rising as they went on to a bitter wind. The mountains seemed to be trying with their deadly breath to daunt them, to turn them back from the secrets of the high places, or to blow them away into the darkness behind. They only knew that they had come to the end, when suddenly they felt no wall at their right hand. They could see very little. Great black shapeless masses and deep grey shadows loomed above them and about them, but now and again a dull red light flickered up under the lowering clouds, and for a moment they were aware of tall peaks, in front and on either side, like pillars holding up a vast sagging roof. They seemed to have climbed up many hundreds of feet, on to a wide shelf. A cliff was on their left and a chasm on their right. Gollum led the way close under the cliff. For the present they were no longer climbing, but the ground was now more broken and dangerous in the dark, and there were blocks and lumps of fallen stone in the way. Their going was slow and cautious. How many hours had passed since they had entered the Morgul Vale neither Sam nor Frodo could any longer guess. The night seemed endless. At length they were once more aware of a wall looming up, and once more a stairway opened before them. Again they halted, and again they began to climb. It was a Pubg game download pc windows 10 file and weary ascent; but this stairway did not delve into the mountain-side. Here the huge cliff-face sloped backwards, and the path like a snake wound to and fro across 710 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS it. At one point it crawled sideways right to the edge of the dark chasm, and Frodo glancing down saw below him as a vast deep pit the great ravine at the head of the Morgul Valley. Down in its depths glimmered like a glow-worm thread the wraith-road from the dead city to the Nameless Pass. He turned hastily away. Still on and up the stairway bent and crawled, until at last with a final flight, short and straight, it climbed out again on to another level. The path had veered away all in gta the main pass in the great ravine, and it now followed its own perilous course https://freestrategygames.cloud/call-duty/call-of-duty-zombie-maps-official.php the bottom of a lesser cleft among the higher regions of the Ephel Du´ ath. Dimly the hobbits could discern tall piers and jagged pinnacles of stone on either side, between which were great crevices and fissures blacker than the night, where forgotten winters had gnawed and carved the sunless stone. And now the red light in the sky seemed stronger; though they could not tell whether a dreadful morning were indeed coming to this place of shadow, or whether they saw only the flame of some great violence of Sauron in the torment of Gorgoroth beyond. Still far ahead, and still high above, Frodo, looking up, saw, as he guessed, the very crown of this bitter road. Against the sullen redness of the eastern sky a cleft was outlined in the topmost ridge, narrow, deep-cloven between two black Pubg game download pc windows 10 file and on either shoulder was a horn of stone. He paused and looked more attentively. The horn upon the left was tall and slender; and in it burned a red light, or else the red light in the land beyond was shining through a hole. He saw now: it was a black tower poised above the outer pass. He touched Sams arm and pointed. I dont like the look of that. said Sam. So this secret way of yours is guarded after all, he growled, turning to Gollum. As you knew all along, I suppose. All ways are watched, yes, said Gollum. Of course they are. But hobbits must try some way. This may be least watched. Perhaps suit rust game hazmat all gone away to big battle, perhaps. Perhaps, grunted Sam. Well, it still seems a long way off, and a long way up before we get there. And theres still the tunnel. I think you ought to rest now, Mr. Frodo. I dont know what time of day or night it is, but weve kept going for hours and hours. Yes, we must rest, said Frodo. Let us find some corner out of the wind, and gather our strength for the last lap. For so he felt it to be. The terrors of the land beyond, and the deed to be done there, seemed remote, too far off yet to trouble him. All his mind was bent on getting through or over this impenetrable wall and guard. If once he could do that impossible thing, then somehow the T HE STAIR S O F CIRITH U NGOL 711 errand would be accomplished, or so it seemed to him in that dark hour of weariness, still labouring in the stony shadows under Cirith Ungol. In a dark crevice between two great piers of rock they sat down: Frodo and Sam a little way within, and Gollum crouched upon the ground near the opening. There the hobbits took what they expected would be their last meal before they went down into the Nameless Land, maybe the last meal they would ever eat together. Some of the food of Gondor they ate, and wafers of the waybread of the Elves, and they drank a little. But of their water they were sparing and took only enough to moisten their dry mouths. I wonder when well find water again. said Sam. But I suppose even over there they drink. Orcs drink, dont they. Yes, they drink, said Frodo. But do not let us speak of that. Such drink is not for us. Then all the more need to fill our bottles, said Sam. But there isnt any water up here: not a sound or a trickle have I heard. And anyway Faramir said we were not to drink any water in Morgul. No water flowing out of Imlad Morgul, were his words, said Frodo. We are not in that valley now, and if we came on a spring it would be flowing into it and not out of it. I wouldnt trust it, said Sam, not till I was dying of thirst. Theres a wicked feeling about this place. He sniffed. And a smell, I fancy. Do you notice it. A queer kind of a smell, stuffy. I dont like it. I dont like anything here at all, said Frodo, step or stone, breath or bone. Earth, air and water all seem accursed. But so our path is laid. Yes, thats so, said Sam. And we shouldnt be here at all, if wed known more about it before we started. But I suppose its often that way. The brave things in the old tales and songs, Mr. Frodo: adventures, as I used to call them. I used to think that they were things the wonderful folk of the stories went out and looked for, because they wanted them, because they were exciting and life was a bit dull, a kind of a sport, as you might say. But thats not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have been just landed in them, usually their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didnt. And if they had, we shouldnt know, because theyd have been forgotten. We hear about those as just went on and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end. You know, coming home, and finding things all right, though not quite the same like old Mr. Bilbo. But those arent always the 712 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS best tales to hear, though they may be the go here tales to get landed in. I wonder what sort of a tale weve fallen into. I wonder, said Frodo. But I dont know. And thats the way of a real tale. Take any one that youre fond of. You may know, or guess, what kind of a tale it is, happy-ending or sad-ending, but the people in it dont know. And you dont want them to. No, sir, of course not. Beren now, he never thought he was going to get that Silmaril from the Iron Crown in Thangorodrim, and yet he Pubg game download pc windows 10 file, and that was a worse place and a blacker danger than ours. But thats a click at this page tale, of course, and goes on past the happiness and into grief and beyond it and the Silmaril went on and came to Ea¨rendil. And why, sir, I never thought of that before. Weve got youve got some of the light of it in that star-glass that the Lady gave you. Why, to think of it, were in the same tale still. Its going on. Dont the great tales never end. No, they never end as tales, said Frodo. But the people in them come, and go when their parts ended. Our part will end later or sooner. And then we can have some rest and some sleep, said Sam. He laughed grimly. And I mean just that, Mr. Frodo. I mean plain ordinary rest, and sleep, and waking up to a mornings work in the garden. Im afraid thats all Im hoping for all the time. All the big important plans are not for my sort. Still, I wonder if we shall ever be put into songs or tales. Were in one, of course; but I mean: put into words, you know, told by the fireside, or read out of a great big book with red and black letters, years and years afterwards. And people will say: Lets hear about Frodo and the Ring. And theyll say: Yes, thats one of my favourite stories. Frodo was very brave, wasnt he, dad. Yes, my boy, the famousest of the hobbits, and thats saying a lot. Its saying a lot too much, said Frodo, and he laughed, a long clear laugh from his heart. Such a sound had not been heard in those places since Sauron came to Middle-earth. To Sam suddenly it seemed as if all the stones were listening and the tall rocks leaning over them. But Frodo did not heed them; he laughed again. Why, Sam, he said, to hear you somehow makes me as merry as if the story was already written. But youve left out one of the chief characters: Samwise the stouthearted. I want to hear more about Sam, dad. Why didnt they put in more of his talk, dad. Thats what I like, it makes me laugh. And Frodo wouldnt have got far without Sam, would he, dad. Now, Mr. Frodo, said Sam, you shouldnt make fun. I was serious. So was I, said Frodo, and so I am. Were going on a bit too T HE STAIR S O F CIRITH U NGOL 713 fast. You and I, Sam, are still stuck in the worst places of the story, and it is all too likely that some will say at this point: Shut the book now, dad; we dont want to read any more. Maybe, said Sam, but I wouldnt be one to say that. Things done and over and made into part of the great tales are different. Why, even Gollum might be good in a tale, better than he is to have by you, anyway. And he used to like tales himself once, by his own account. I wonder if he thinks hes the hero or the villain. Gollum. he called. Would you like to be the hero now wheres he got to again. There was no sign of him at the mouth of their shelter nor in the shadows near. He had refused their food, though he had, as usual, accepted a mouthful of water; and then he had seemed to curl up for a sleep. They had supposed that one at any rate of his objects in his long absence the day before had been to hunt for food to his own liking; and now he had evidently slipped off again while they talked. But what for this time. I dont like his sneaking off without saying, said Sam. And least of all now. He cant be looking for food up here, not unless theres some kind of rock he fancies. Why, there isnt even a bit of moss. Its no good worrying about him now, said Frodo. We couldnt have got so far, not even within sight of the pass, without him, and so well have to put up with his ways. If hes false, hes false. All the same, Id rather have him under my eye, said Sam. All the more so, if hes false. Do you remember he never would say if this pass was guarded or no. And now we see a tower there and it may be deserted, and it may not. Do you think hes gone to fetch them, Orcs or whatever they are. No, I dont think so, answered Frodo. Even if hes up to some wickedness, and I suppose thats not link. I dont think its that: not to fetch Orcs, or any servants of the Enemy. Why wait till now, and go through all parking near apex hotel dundee labour of the climb, and come so near the land he fears. He could probably have betrayed us to Orcs many times since we met him. No, if its anything, it will be some little private trick of his own that he thinks is quite secret. Well, I suppose youre right, Mr. Frodo, said Sam.

Come on. said Ron. She hesitated for a second longer, then ducked under the Cloak with Harry and Ron. Nobody noticed them vanish; they were all too interested in Fred and Georges products. Pubg pc lite reborn download, Ron, and Hermione squeezed their way out of lige door as quickly as they could, but by the time they gained the street, Malfoy had disappeared just as successfully as they had. He was going in that direction, murmured Harry as quietly as possible, so that the humming Hagrid would not hear them. Cmon. They scurried along, peering left and right, through shop windows and doors, until Hermione pointed ahead. Thats him, isnt it. she whispered. Turning left. Big surprise, whispered Ron. For Malfoy had glanced around, then slid into Knockturn Alley and out of sight. Quick, or well lose him, said Harry, speeding up. Our feetll be seen. said Hermione anxiously, as the Cloak rebkrn a little around their ankles; it was much more difficult hiding all three of them under the Cloak nowadays. It doesnt matter, said Harry impatiently. Just hurry. But Knockturn Alley, the side street devoted to the Dark Arts, looked completely deserted. They peered into windows as they passed, but none Pubg pc lite reborn download the shops seemed to have any customers at all. Harry supposed it Pubg pc lite reborn download a bit of a giveaway in these dangerous and suspicious times to buy Dark artifacts - click the following article at least, to be seen buying them. Hermione downloar his arm a hard pinch. Ouch. Shh. Litee. Hes in there. she breathed in Harrys ear. They had drawn level with the only shop downlad Knockturn Alley that Harry had ever visited, Borgin and Burkes, which sold a wide variety what pubg game emulators now please sinister objects. There dowwnload the midst of the cases full of skulls and old bottles stood Draco Malfoy with his back to them, just visible beyond the very same large black cabinet in which Harry had once hidden to avoid Malfoy and his father. Judging by the movements of Malfoys hands, he was talking animatedly. The proprietor of the shop, Mr. Lte, an oily-haired, stooping man, stood facing Malfoy. He was wearing a curious expression of mingled resentment and fear. If only we Pubg pc lite reborn download hear what theyre saying. said Rebonr. We can. said Ron excitedly. Hang on - damn - He dropped a couple more of the boxes he was still clutching as he fumbled with the largest. Extendable Ears, look. Fantastic. said Hermione, as Ron unraveled the long, flesh-colored strings and began to feed them toward the bottom of the door. Oh, I hope the door isnt Imperturbable - No. said Ron gleefully. Listen. They put their heads together and listened intently to the ends of the strings, down,oad which Malfoys voice could be heard loud and clear, as though Pubg pc lite reborn download radio had been rrborn on. you know how to fix it. Possibly, said Borgin, in a tone that suggested he was unwilling to commit himself. Ill need to see it, though. Why dont you bring it into the shop. I cant, said Malfoy. Its got to stay put. I just need click to see more to tell me how to do it.
