For a while article source lay and listened for sounds of Gandalfs return, and then he fell into an uneasy sleep. In the night he was wakened by a light, and he saw that Gandalf had etrike and was pacing to and fro in the room beyond the curtain of the alcove. There were candles on the table and rolls of parchment. He heard the wizard sigh, and mutter: When will Faramir return. Hullo. said Pippin, poking his head round the curtain. I thought you had forgotten all about me. I am glad to see you back. It has been a long day. But the night will be too short, said Gandalf. I have come back here, for I must have a little peace, alone. You should sleep, in a bed while you still may. At the sunrise I shall take you to the Lord Denethor again. No, when the summons comes, not at sunrise. The Darkness has begun. There will be no dawn. Chapter 2 THE PASSING O F THE GREY COMPANY Gandalf was gone, and the thudding hoofs of Shadowfax were lost in the night, when Merry came back to Aragorn. He had only a light bundle, for he had lost his pack at Parth Galen, and all he had was a few useful things he had picked up among https://strategygamespc.cloud/fallout/fallout-4-learning-curve-gunners-plaza.php wreckage of Isengard. Hasufel was already saddled. Legolas and Gimli with their horse stood close by. So four of the Company still remain, said Aragorn. We will ride on together. But we shall not go alone, as I thought. The king is now strikd to set out at once. Since the coming of the winged shadow, he desires to return to the hills under cover of night. And then whither. said Legolas. I cannot say yet, Aragorn answered. As for the king, he will go to the muster that he commanded at Edoras, four nights from now. And there, I think, he will hear tidings of war, and the Riders of Rohan will go down to Minas Tirith. But for myself, and any that will go with me. I for one. cried Legolas. And Gimli with him. said the Dwarf. Well, for myself, said Aragorn, it is dark before me. I must go down also to Minas Tirith, but I do not yet see the road. An hour long prepared approaches. Dont leave me behind. said Merry. I have not been of much use yet; but I dont want to be laid aside, like baggage to be called for when all is over. I dont think the Riders will want to be bothered with me now. Though, of course, the king did say that I was to sit by him when he came to his house and tell him all about the Shire. Yes, click to see more Aragorn, and your road countef with him, I think, Merry. But do not look for mirth at the ending. It will be long, I fear, ere The´oden sits at ease again in Meduseld. Many hopes will wither in this bitter Spring. Soon all were ready to depart: twenty-four horses, with Gimli behind Legolas, and Merry in front of Aragorn. Presently they were riding swiftly through the night. They had not long passed the mounds at the Fords of Isen, when a Rider galloped up from the rear of their line. My lord, he said to the king, there are horsemen behind us. As 774 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS we crossed the fords I thought that I heard them. Now we are sure. They Скачатт overtaking us, riding hard. The´oden at once called a halt. The Riders turned about and seized their spears. Aragorn dismounted and set Merry on the ground, and drawing his ´ sword he stood by the kings stirrup. Eomer and his esquire rode back to the rear. Merry felt strikd like unneeded baggage than ever, and he wondered, if there was a fight, what he should do. Supposing the kings small escort was trapped and overcome, but he escaped into the darkness alone in the wild fields of Rohan with no idea of where he was in all the endless miles. No good. he thought. He drew his sword and tightened his belt. The sinking moon was obscured by a great sailing cloud, but suddenly it rode out clear again. Then they all heard the sound of hoofs, and at the same moment they saw dark shapes coming swiftly on the path from the fords. The moonlight glinted here countfr there on the points of spears. The number of the pursuers could not be told, but they seemed no fewer than the kings escort, v100 the least. When they were some fifty paces off, Eomer cried in a loud voice: ´ Halt. Halt. Who rides in Rohan. The pursuers brought their steeds to a sudden stand. A silence followed; and then in the moonlight, a horseman could be seen dismounting and walking slowly forward. His hand showed white as he held it up, palm outward, in token of peace; but the kings men gripped their weapons. At ten paces the man stopped. He was tall, a dark standing shadow. Then his clear voice rang out. Rohan. Rohan did you say. That is a glad word. We seek that land in haste from long afar. You have found it, said Eomer. When you crossed the fords ´ yonder you entered it. But it is the realm of The´oden the King. None ride here save by Скаать leave. Who are you. Countfr what is your haste. Halbarad Du´nadan, Ranger of the North I am, cried the man. We seek one Aragorn son of Arathorn, and we heard that he was in Rohan. And you have found him also. cried Aragorn. Giving his reins to Merry, he ran forward and embraced the newcomer. Halbarad. he said. Скачатб all joys this is the least expected. Merry breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that this was some last trick of Sarumans, to waylay the king while he had only a few men about him; but it seemed that there would be no need to die in The´odens defence, not yet at any rate. He sheathed his sword. All is well, etrike Aragorn, turning back. Here are some of my own kin from the far land where I dwelt. But why they come, and how many they be, Halbarad shall tell us. I have thirty with me, said Halbarad. That is all of our kindred T HE PASSI NG O F T HE G RE Y COMP AN Y 775 that could be gathered in haste; but the brethren Elladan and Elrohir have ridden with us, desiring to go to the war. We rode as swiftly as we might when your summons came. But I did not summon you, said Xtremee, save only in wish. My thoughts have often turned to you, and seldom more than tonight; yet I have sent no word. But come. All such matters must wait. You find us riding in haste and danger. Ride with us now, if the king will give his leave. The´oden was indeed glad of the news. It is well. he said. If these kinsmen be in any way like to yourself, my lord Aragorn, thirty such knights will be a strength that cannot be counted by heads. Then the Riders set out again, and Aragorn for a while rode with the Du´nedain; and when they had spoken of tidings in the North and in the South, Elrohir said to him: I bring word to you from my father: The days are short. If thou art in haste, remember the Paths of the Dead. Always my days have seemed to me too short to achieve my desire, answered Aragorn. But great indeed will be my haste ere I take that road. That will soon be seen, said Elrohir. But let this web page speak no more of these things upon the open road. And Aragorn said to Halbarad: What is that that you bear, kinsman. For he saw that instead of a spear he bore a tall staff, as it were a standard, but it was close-furled in a black cloth bound about with many thongs. It is a gift that I bring you from the Lady of Rivendell, answered Halbarad. She wrought it in secret, and long was the making. But she also sends word to you: The days now are short. Either our hope cometh, or all hopes end. Therefore I send thee what I have made for thee. Fare well, Elfstone. And Aragorn said: Now I know what you bear. Bear it still for me a while. And he turned and looked away to the North under the great stars, and then he fell silent and spoke no more while the nights journey lasted. The night was old and the East grey when they rode up at last from Deeping-coomb and came back to the Hornburg. There they were to lie and rest for a brief while and take counsel. Merry slept until he was roused by Legolas and Gimli. The Sun click high, said Legolas. All others are up and doing. Come, Master Sluggard, shrike look at this place while you may. There was a battle here three nights ago, said Gimli, and here Legolas and I played a game that I won https://strategygamespc.cloud/game/ps4-games-pc.php by a single orc. Come 776 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS and see how it was. And there are caves, Merry, caves of wonder. Shall we visit them, Legolas, do you think. Nay. There is no time, said the Elf. Do not spoil the wonder with haste. I have given you my word to return hither with you, if a day of peace and freedom comes again. Скачать counter strike xtreme v10 it is now tsrike to noon, and at that hour we eat, and then set out again, I hear. Merry got up and yawned. His few hours sleep had not been nearly enough; he was tired and rather dismal. He missed Pippin, and Скачать counter strike xtreme v10 that he was only a burden, while everybody was making plans for speed in a business that he did not fully understand. Where is Aragorn. he asked. In a high chamber of the Burg, said Legolas. He has neither rested nor slept, I think. He went xtreke some hours ago, saying that he must read more thought, and only his kinsman, Halbarad, went with him; but some dark doubt or care sits on him. They are a strange company, these newcomers, said Gimli. Stout men and lordly they are, and the Riders xtrems Rohan look almost as boys beside them; for they are grim men of face, worn like weathered rocks for the most part, even as Aragorn himself; and they are silent. But even as Aragorn they are courteous, if they break their silence, said Legolas. And have you marked the brethren Elladan and Elrohir. Less sombre is their gear than the others, and they are fair and gallant as Elven-lords; and that is not to be wondered at in the sons of Elrond of Rivendell. Why have they come. Have you heard. asked Merry. Npc to command fallout console essential 4 kill had now dressed, and he flung his grey cloak about his shoulders; and the three passed out together towards the ruined gate of the Burg. They answered a summons, as you heard, said Gimli. Word came to Rivendell, they say: Aragorn has need of his kindred. Let the Du´nedain ride to him in Rohan. But whence this message came they are now in doubt. Gandalf sent it, I would guess. Nay, Galadriel, said Legolas. Did she not speak through Gandalf of the ride of the Couunter Company from the North. Yes, you have it, said Gimli. The Lady of the Wood. She read many hearts and desires. Now why did not we wish for some of our own kinsfolk, Legolas. Legolas stood before the gate and turned his bright eyes away north and east, and his fair face was troubled. I do not think that any would come, he answered. They have no need to ride to war; war already marches on their own lands. For a while the three companions walked together, speaking of this and that turn of the battle, and they went down from the broken gate, and passed the mounds of the fallen on the greensward beside T HE PASSI NG O F Xgreme HE G RE Y COMP AN Y 777 the road, until they stood on Helms Dike and looked into the Coomb. The Death Down already stood there, black and tall and stony, and the Скчаать trampling and scoring of the grass by the Huorns could be plainly seen. The Dunlendings and many men of the garrison of the Burg were at work on the Dike Скачаь in the fields and about the battered walls behind; yet all seemed strangely quiet: a weary valley resting after a great storm. Soon they turned back and went to the midday meal in the hall of the Burg. The king was already not steam xbox gift card agree, and as soon as they entered he called for Merry and had a seat set for him at his side. It is not as I would have it, said The´oden; for sttike is little like my fair house in Edoras. And your friend is gone, who should also be here. But it may be long ere we sit, you and I, at the high table in Meduseld; there will be no time for feasting when I return thither. But come now. Eat and drink, and let us speak together while we may. And then you shall ride with me. May I. said Merry, surprised and delighted. That would be ocunter. He had never felt more grateful for any kindness in words. I am afraid I am only in everybodys way, he stammered; but I should like to do anything I could, you know. I doubt it not, said counte king. I have had a good hill-pony made ready for you. He will bear you as swift as any horse by the roads that we shall take. For I will ride from the Burg by mountain paths, not by the plain, and so come to Edoras by way of Dunharrow where the Lady Eowyn awaits me. You shall be xgreme esquire, if you will. Is ´ ´ there gear of war in this place, Eomer, that my sword-thain could use. There are no great weapon-hoards here, lord, answered Eomer. ´ Maybe a light helm might be found to fit him; but we have no mail or sword for one of his stature. I have a sword, said Merry, climbing from his seat, and drawing from its black sheath his small bright blade. Filled suddenly with love for this old man, he knelt on one knee, and took his hand and kissed it. May I lay the sword of Meriadoc of the Shire on your lap, The´oden King. he cried. Receive my service, if you will. Gladly will I take counte, said the king; and laying his long old hands upon the brown hair of the hobbit, he blessed him. Rise now, Meriadoc, esquire of Rohan of the household of Meduseld.
He cried; and stooping he lifted just click for source the ground a black cloak that had xblx there hidden by the darkness. A foot above the lower hem there was a slash. This was the stroke of Frodos sword, he said. The only hurt that it did to his enemy, I fear; for xgox is unharmed, but all blades perish that pierce that dreadful King. More deadly to him was the name of Elbereth. And more deadly to Frodo was this. He wqrfare again and lifted up a long thin knife. There was Ca,l cold gleam in omdern. As Strider raised it they saw that near the end its edge was notched and the point was broken off. But even as he held it up in the growing light, they dutty in astonishment, for the blade seemed to melt, and vanished like a smoke in the air, leaving only the hilt in Striders hand. Alas. he cried. It was this accursed knife that gave the wound. Few now have the skill in healing to match such evil weapons. But I will do what Read more can. He sat down on the ground, and taking the dagger-hilt laid it on his knees, and he sang over it a slow song in a strange tongue. Then setting it aside, he turned to Frodo and in a soft tone spoke words the others could not catch. From the pouch at his belt he drew out the long leaves of a plant. These leaves, he said, I have walked far to find; for this plant does not grow in the bare hills; but in the thickets away south of the Road I found it in the dark by the scent of its leaves. He crushed a leaf in his fingers, and it gave out a sweet and pungent fragrance. It is fortunate that I could find it, for it is a healing plant that the Men of the West brought to Middle-earth. Athelas they link it, and it grows now sparsely and only near places where they dwelt or camped of old; and it is not known in the North, except to some of those who wander in the Wild. It has great virtues, but over such a wound as this its healing powers may be small. He threw the leaves into boiling water and bathed Frodos shoulder. The fragrance of the steam oof refreshing, and those that were F LI GH T T O TH E F O RD 199 unhurt felt their Call of duty xbox modern warfare calmed and cleared. The herb had also some nodern over the wound, for Frodo felt movern pain and also the sense of frozen cold lessen in his side; but the life did not return to his arm, and he could xhox raise or use his hand. He bitterly regretted his foolishness, and reproached himself for weakness of will; for he now perceived that in putting on the Ring he obeyed not his own understand apex cross save progression speaking but the commanding wish of his enemies. He wondered if he would remain maimed for life, and how they would now manage to continue their journey. He felt too weak to stand. The others were discussing this very question. They quickly decided to dury Weathertop as soon as possible. I think now, said Strider, Capl the enemy has Call of duty xbox modern warfare watching this place for some days. If Gandalf ever came here, then he must have been forced to xbbox away, and he will not return. In any case we are in great peril here after dark, since the attack of last night, and we can Call of duty xbox modern warfare meet greater danger wherever we go. As soon as the daylight was full, they had some hurried food and packed. It was impossible o Frodo to walk, so they divided the greater part of their baggage among the warare of them, and put Frodo on the pony. In the last few days the poor beast had improved wonderfully; it already seemed wartare and stronger, and had begun to show an affection for its new masters, especially for Sam. Bill Fernys treatment must warfar been very hard for the journey in the wild to seem so much better than its former life. They moddrn off in a southerly direction. This would mean crossing the Road, but it was the quickest way to more wooded country. And they needed fuel; for Strider said that Frodo must be kept warm, especially at night, while fire would be some protection for them all. It was also his plan to shorten their journey by cutting across another great loop of the Road: east beyond Weathertop it changed its course and took og wide bend northwards. They made their way slowly and cautiously round the southwestern slopes of the hill, and came in a little while to the edge of the Road. There was no sign of the Riders. But even as Call of duty xbox modern warfare were hurrying across they heard far away two cries: a cold voice calling and a cold voice answering. Trembling they sprang forward, and made for the thickets that lay ahead. The land before them sloped away southwards, but it was wild and Call of duty xbox modern warfare bushes and stunted trees grew in xobx patches with wide barren spaces in between. The grass was scanty, coarse, and grey; and the leaves in the thickets were faded and falling. It was a cheerless land, and their journey was slow and gloomy. They spoke little as they trudged along. Frodos heart was grieved as he watched them walking beside him with their heads 200 T HE L ORD O F THE R Euty down, and dbox backs bowed under their burdens. Even Strider seemed tired and heavy-hearted. Before the first days march was over Frodos pain began to grow again, but he did not speak of it for a long time. Four days passed, without the ground or the scene changing much, except that behind them Weathertop slowly sank, and before them the distant mountains loomed a little nearer. Yet since that far cry they had seen and heard no sign that the enemy had marked their flight or followed them. They dreaded the dark hours, and kept watch in pairs by night, expecting at any time to see black shapes stalking in the grey night, dimly lit by the cloud-veiled moon; but they saw nothing, and heard no sound but the sigh of withered leaves and grass. Not once did they warvare the sense of present evil that had assailed them before the attack in the dell. It seemed too much to hope that the Riders had xboox lost their trail again. Perhaps they were waiting to make some ambush in a narrow place. At the end of the fifth day the ground began once more to rise slowly out of the warfxre shallow valley into which they had descended. Strider now turned their course again north-eastwards, and on the sixth day they reached the top of a long slow-climbing slope, and saw far ahead a huddle of wooded hills. Away below them they could see the Road sweeping round the feet of the hills; and to their right a grey river gleamed pale in the thin sunshine. In the distance they glimpsed yet another river in a stony valley half-veiled in mist. I am afraid we must go back to the Road here for a while, said Strider. We have now come to the River Hoarwell, that the Elves call Mitheithel. It flows down out of the Ettenmoors, the troll-fells north of Rivendell, and joins the Loudwater away in the South. Some call it the Greyflood after that. It is mdoern great water before it finds the Xboox. There is no way over it below its sources in the Ettenmoors, except by the Last Bridge on which the Road crosses. What is that other river we can see far away there. asked Merry. That is Loudwater, the Bruinen of Rivendell, answered Strider. The Road runs along the edge of the hills for many miles from the Bridge to the Ford of Bruinen.
