Don t tempt me frodo1/15/2023 ![]() All those who follow in my bloodline shall be bound to it's fate, for I will risk no hurt to the Ring. Here follows the account of Isildur, High King of Gondor, and the finding of the Ring of Power." "There are some things that I must see to." He's left you Bag End, along with all his possessions. "Bilbo, the Ring is still in your pocket." "Bilbo Baggins! Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks! I am not trying to rob you! I'm trying to help you." "I think you've had that Ring quite long enough." "Precious? It's been called that before but not by you." "I think you should leave the Ring behind, Bilbo. "What about this Ring of yours, is that staying too?" "Two eyes, as often as I can spare them." "There are many magic rings in this world, Bilbo Baggins, and none of them should be used lightly." "I suppose you think that was terribly clever." "So you mean to go through with your plan then." One hundred and eleven years old and who would believe it! You haven't aged a day." All I did was give your uncle a little nudge out of the door." ![]() "If you're refering to the incident with the dragon, I was barely involved. "Hhmm, now, well that should please him, hhmm." "So how is the old rascal? I hear it's going to be a party of special magnificence!" Scarcely aware of the existence of Hobbits, for which I'm very thankful." "Well, what can I tell you? Life in the wide world goes on, much as it has this past age, full of its on comings and goings. "Everything? Far too eager and curious for a Hobbit, most unnatural." "You didn't think I'd miss your Uncle Bilbo's birthday!" "Your fingers would remember their old strength better, if they grasped your sword." "You did not kill me, you will not kill him." "I will draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound." "Hearken to me! I release you from the spell." "Theoden, son of Thengel! Too long have you sat in the shadows." I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm." "Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. ![]() "The courtesy of your hall is somewhat lessened of late, Theoden King." "You would not part an old man from his walking stick." Saruman's hold over King Theoden is now very strong." There dwells Theoden, king of Rohan, whose mind is overthrown. "Edoras, and the Golden Hall of Meduseld. "Do not regret your decision to leave him. Everything depends on speed and the secrecy of his quest." And so the weapon of the enemy is moving towards Mordor, in the hands of a hobbit each day brings it closer to the fires of Mount Doom. And that we should seek to destroy it has not yet entered their darkest dreams. But for all their cunning, we have one advantage." Sauron & Saruman are tightening the noose. His hold over King Theoden is now very strong. The king's mind is enslaved is some device of Saruman's. Rohan must defend itself and therein lies our first challeneg, for Rohan is weak and ready to fall. He will use his puppet Saruman to destroy Rohan. And os he will strike hard and fast to the world of men. But he is not so mighty yet that he is above fear. ![]() From the summit of Barad-dur his eye watches. "The veiling shadow that glowers in the east takes shape. He's the lord of all horses, and has been my friend through many dangers." "One stage of your journey is over, another begins. "I am Gandalf the White, and Ive come back to you now, at the turn of the tide." "Gandalf? Yes, that was what they used to call me. I've been sent back until my task is done." ![]() Stars wheeled overhead, and every day was as long as life-age of the earth. "Darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time. "Until at last I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside." From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak, I fought him, the Balrog of Morgoth." "They passed this way, the day before yesterday. "White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise." The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver clouds. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. "There never was much hope, just a fool's hope." "It's the deep breath before the plunge." You're going to have to do as you're told. "You're in the service of the Steward now. And you'd better hope we don't have one of those on our tail." "And there Saruman must remain, under your guard." ![]()
