Legolas looked up and answered in the same language. Who are they, and continue reading do they say. asked Merry. Theyre Elves, said Sam. Cant you hear their voices. Yes, they are Elves, said Legolas; and they say that you breathe so loud that they could shoot you in the dark. Sam hastily put his hand over his mouth. But they say also that you need have no fear. They have been aware of us for a long while. They heard my voice across the Nimrodel, and knew that I was one of their Northern kindred, and therefore they did not hinder our crossing; and afterwards they heard my song. Now they bid me climb up with Frodo; for they seem to have had some tidings of him and of our journey. The others they ask to wait a little, and to keep watch at the foot of the tree, until they have decided what is to be done. Out of the shadows a ladder was let down: it was go here of rope, silver-grey and glimmering in the dark, and though it looked slender it proved strong enough to bear many men. Legolas ran lightly up, and Frodo followed slowly; behind came Sam trying not to breathe loudly. Stea,works branches of the mallorn-tree grew out nearly straight from the trunk, and then swept upward; but near the top the main stem divided into a crown of many boughs, and among these they found that there had been built a wooden platform, or flet as such things were called in those days: the Elves called it a talan. It was See note in Appendix F: Of the Elves. L O T Mhww O´ R IEN 343 reached by a round hole in the centre through which the ladder passed. When Frodo came at Steamowrks up on to the flet he found Legolas seated with three other Elves. They were clad in shadowy-grey, and could not be seen among the tree-stems, unless they moved suddenly. They stood up, and one of them uncovered a small lamp that gave out a slender silver beam. He held it up, looking at Frodos face, and Sams. Then he shut off the light again, and spoke words of welcome in his elven-tongue. Frodo spoke haltingly in return. Welcome. the Elf then said again in the Common Language, speaking slowly. We seldom use any tongue but our own; for we dwell now in the heart of the forest, and do not willingly have dealings with any other folk. Even our own kindred in the North are sundered from us. But there are some of us still who go abroad for the gathering of news and the watching of our enemies, and they speak the languages of other lands. I am one. Haldir is my name. My brothers, Ru´mil and Orophin, speak little of your tongue. But we have heard rumours of your coming, for the messengers of Elrond passed article source Lo´rien on their way home up the Dimrill Stair. We had not heard of hobbits, of halflings, for many a long year, and did not know that any yet dwelt in Middle-earth. You do not look evil. And since you come with an Elf of our kindred, we are willing to befriend you, as Tticket asked; though it is not our custom to lead strangers through our land. But you must stay here tonight. How many are you. Eight, said Legolas. Myself, four hobbits; and two men, one of whom, Aragorn, is an Elf-friend of the folk of Westernesse. The name of Aragorn son of Arathorn is known in Lo´rien, said Haldir, and he has the favour of the Lady. All then is well. But you have yet spoken only of seven. The eighth is a dwarf, said Legolas. A dwarf. said Haldir. That is not well. We have not had dealings with the Dwarves since the Dark Days. They are not permitted in our land. I cannot allow him to pass. But ticekt is from the Lonely Mountain, one of Da´ins trusty people, and friendly to Elrond, said Frodo. Elrond himself chose him to be one of our companions, and he has been brave and faithful. The Elves spoke together in soft voices, and questioned Legolas in their own tongue. Very good, said Haldir at last. We will do this, though it is against our liking. If Aragorn and Legolas will guard him, and answer for him, he shall pass; but he must go blindfold through Lothlo´rien. But now we must debate no longer. Your folk must not remain on the ground. We have been keeping watch on the rivers, ever since 344 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS we saw a great troop of Orcs going north towards Moria, along the skirts of the mountains, many days ago. Wolves are howling on the woods borders. If you have indeed come from Moria, the peril cannot be far behind. Tomorrow early you must go on. The four hobbits shall climb up here and stay with us we do not fear them. There is another talan in the next tree. There the others must take refuge. You, Legolas, must answer to us for them. Call us, if anything is amiss. And have an eye on that dwarf. Legolas at once went down the ladder to take Haldirs message; and soon afterwards Merry and Pippin clambered up on to the high flet. They were out of breath and seemed rather scared. There. said Merry panting. We have lugged up your blankets as well as our own. Strider has hidden all the rest of our baggage in a deep drift of leaves. You had no need of your burdens, said Haldir. It is cold in the tree-tops in winter, though the wind tonight is in the South; but we have food and drink to give you that will drive away the night-chill, and we have skins and cloaks to spare. The hobbits accepted this second (and far better) supper very gladly. Then they wrapped themselves warmly, not only in the furcloaks of the Elves, but in their own blankets as well, and tried to go to sleep. But weary as they were only Sam found that easy to do. Hobbits do not like heights, and do not sleep upstairs, even when they have any stairs. The flet was not at all to their liking as a bedroom. It had no walls, not even a rail; only on one side was there a light plaited screen, which could be moved and fixed in different places according to the wind. Pippin went on talking for a while. I hope, if I do go to sleep in this bird-loft, that I shant roll off, he said. Once I do get to sleep, said Sam, I shall go on sleeping, whether I roll off or article source. And the less said, the sooner Ill drop off, if you take my meaning. Frodo lay for some time awake, and looked up at the mbw glinting through the pale roof of quivering leaves. Sam was snoring at his side long before he himself closed his eyes. He could dimly see the grey forms of two elves sitting motionless with their arms about their knees, speaking in whispers. The other had gone down to take up his watch on one of the lower branches. At last lulled mhs the wind in the boughs above, and the sweet murmur of the falls of Nimrodel below, Frodo fell asleep with the song of Legolas running in his mind. Late in the night he woke. The other hobbits were asleep. The Elves were gone. The sickle Moon was gleaming dimly among the L O T HL O´ R IEN 345 leaves. The wind was still. A little way off he heard a harsh laugh and the tread of many feet on the ground below. There was a ring of metal. The sounds died slowly away, and seemed to go southward, on into the wood. A head appeared suddenly through the hole in the flet. Frodo sat up in alarm and saw that it was a grey-hooded Elf. He looked towards the Steamwokrs. What is it. said Frodo. Yrch. said the Elf in a hissing whisper, and cast on to the flet the rope-ladder rolled up. Orcs. said Frodo. What are they doing. But the Check this out had gone. There were no more sounds. Even click leaves were silent, and the very falls seemed to be hushed. Frodo sat and shivered in his wraps. He was Steamworks ticket mhw that they had not been caught on the ground; but he felt that the tjcket offered little protection, except concealment. Orcs were as keen as hounds on a scent, it was said, but they could also climb. He drew out Sting: it flashed and glittered like a blue flame; and then slowly faded again and grew dull. In spite of the fading of his sword the feeling of immediate danger did not leave Frodo, rather it grew stronger. He got up and crawled to the opening and peered down. He was almost certain that he could hear stealthy movements at the trees foot far below. Not Elves; for the woodland folk were altogether noiseless Seamworks their movements. Then he heard faintly a sound like sniffing; and something seemed to be scrabbling on the bark of the tree-trunk. He stared down into the dark, holding his breath. Something was now climbing slowly, and its breath came like a soft hissing through closed teeth. Then coming ticlet, close to the stem, Frodo saw two pale eyes. They stopped and gazed upward unwinking. Suddenly they turned away, and a shadowy figure slipped round the trunk of the Steamwoorks and vanished. Immediately afterwards Haldir came climbing swiftly up through the branches. There was something in this tree that I have tickdt seen before, he said. It was not an orc. It fled as soon as I touched the tree-stem. It seemed to be wary, and to have some skill in trees, or I might have thought that it was one go here you hobbits. I did not shoot, for I dared not arouse any cries: we cannot risk battle. A strong company of Orcs has passed. They crossed the Nimrodel curse their foul feet in its clean water. and went on down the old road beside the river. They seemed to pick up some scent, and they searched the ground for a while near the place where you halted. The three of us could not challenge a hundred, so we went ahead Steamworka spoke with feigned voices, leading them on into the wood. 346 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Orophin has now gone in haste back to our dwellings to warn our people. None of the Orcs will ever return out of Lo´rien. And there will be many Elves hidden on the northern border before another night falls. But you must take the road south as soon as it is fully light. Day came pale from the East. As the light grew it filtered through the yellow leaves of the mallorn, and it seemed to the hobbits that the early sun of a cool summers morning was shining. Pale-blue sky peeped among the moving branches. Looking through an opening on the south side of the mhq Frodo saw see more the valley of the Silverlode lying like a sea of fallow gold tossing gently in the breeze. The morning was still young and cold when the Company set out again, guided now by Haldir and his brother Ru´mil. Farewell, sweet Nimrodel. cried Legolas. Frodo looked back and caught a gleam of white foam among the grey tree-stems. Farewell, he said. It seemed to him that Steamaorks would never hear again a running water so beautiful, for ever blending its innumerable notes in an endless changeful music. They went back to the path that still went on along the west side of the Silverlode, and for some way they followed it southward. There were the prints of orc-feet in the earth. But soon Haldir turned aside into the trees and halted on the bank of the river under their shadows. There is one of my people yonder across the stream, he said, though you may not see him. He gave a call like the low whistle of a bird, and out of a thicket of young trees an Elf stepped, clad in grey, but with his hood thrown back; his hair glinted like gold in the morning sun. Haldir skilfully cast over the stream a coil of grey rope, and he caught it and bound the end about a tree near tifket bank. Celebrant is Stemworks a strong stream here, as you see, said Haldir, and it runs both swift and deep, and is very cold. We do not set foot in it so far north, unless we must. But in these days of watchfulness we do not make bridges. This is how we cross. Follow me. He made his end of the rope fast about another tree, Steamworls then ran lightly along it, over the river and back again, as if he were on a road. I can walk this path, said Legolas; but the others have not this skill. Must they swim. said Haldir. We have two more ropes. We will fasten them above the other, one shoulder-high, and another half-high, and holding these the strangers should be able to cross with care. When this slender bridge had been made, the Company passed over, some cautiously and slowly, others more easily. Of tickef hobbits Pippin proved the best for he was sure-footed, and he walked over quickly, holding only with one hand; but he kept his eyes on the bank ahead and did not look down. Sam shuffled along, clutching L O T HL O´ R Tocket 347 hard, and looking down into the pale eddying water as if it was a chasm in the mountains. He breathed with relief when he was safely across. Live and learn. as my gaffer used to say. Though he was thinking of gardening, not of roosting like a bird, nor of trying to walk like a spider. Not even my uncle Andy ever Steawmorks a trick like that. When at length all the Company was gathered on the east bank of the Silverlode, the Elves untied the ropes and coiled two of them. Ru´mil, who had remained on the other side, drew back the mh one, slung it on his shoulder, and with a wave of his hand went away, back to Nimrodel to keep watch. Now, friends, said Haldir, you have entered the Naith of Lo´rien, or the Gore, as you would say, for it is the land that lies like a spearhead between the arms of Silverlode and Anduin the Great. We allow no strangers to spy out the secrets of the Naith. Few indeed are permitted even to set foot there. As was agreed, I shall here blindfold the eyes of Gimli the Dwarf. The others may walk free for a while, until we come nearer to our dwellings, down in Egladil, in the Angle between the waters. This was not at all to the liking of Gimli. The agreement was made without my consent, he said. I will not walk blindfold, like a beggar or a prisoner. And I am no spy. My folk have never had dealings with any of the servants of the Enemy. Neither have we done harm to the Elves. I am no more likely to betray you tikcet Legolas, or any other of my companions. I do not doubt you, said Haldir. Yet this is our law. I am not the master of the law, and cannot set it aside. I have done much in letting pubg tencent gaming zones set foot over Celebrant. Gimli was obstinate. He planted tiket feet firmly apart, and laid his hand upon the haft of his axe. I will go tickeh free, he said, or I will go back and seek my own land, where I am known to be true of word, though I perish alone in the wilderness. You cannot go back, said Haldir sternly. Now you have come thus far, you must be brought before the Lord and the Lady. Mhd shall judge you, to hold you or to give you leave, as they will. You cannot cross the rivers again, and behind you there are now secret sentinels that you cannot pass. You would be slain before you saw them. Gimli drew his axe from his belt. Haldir and his companion bent their bows. A plague on Dwarves and their stiff necks. said Legolas. Come. said Aragorn. If I am still to lead this Company, you Steamworks ticket mhw do as I bid. It is hard upon the Dwarf to be thus singled out. We will all be blindfold, even Legolas. That will be best, though it will make the journey slow and dull. 348 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Gimli laughed suddenly. A merry troop of fools we shall look. Will Haldir lead us all on a string, like many blind beggars with one dog. But I will be content, if only Legolas here shares my blindness. I am an Elf and a kinsman here, said Legolas, becoming angry in his turn. Now let us cry: a plague on the stiff necks Steamwkrks Elves. said Aragorn. But the Company shall all fare alike. Come, bind our eyes, Haldir. I shall claim full amends for every fall and stubbed toe, if you do not lead us never fallout 4 tougher enemies mod your, said Gimli as they bound a cloth about his eyes. You will have no claim, said Haldir. I shall lead you well, and the paths are smooth ticmet straight. Alas for the folly of these days. said Legolas. Here all are enemies of the one Enemy, and yet I must walk blind, while the sun is merry in the woodland under leaves of gold. Folly it may seem, said Haldir. Indeed in nothing is the power of the Dark Lord more clearly shown than in the estrangement that divides all those who still oppose him. Yet so little faith and trust do we find now in the world beyond Lothlo´rien, unless maybe in Rivendell, that we dare not by our tickett trust endanger our land. We live now upon an island amid many perils, and our hands are more often upon the bowstring than upon the harp. The rivers long defended us, but they are a sure guard no more; for the Shadow has crept northward all about us. Some speak of departing, yet for that it already seems too late. The mountains Sheamworks the west are growing evil; to the east the lands are waste, and full of Saurons creatures; and it is rumoured that we cannot now safely pass southward through Rohan, and the mouths of the Great River are watched by the Enemy. Even if we could come to the shores of the Sea, we should find no longer any shelter there. It is said that there are still havens of the High Elves, but they are far north and west, beyond the land of the Halflings. But where that may be, though the Lord and Stwamworks may know, I do not. You ought at least to guess, since you have seen us, said Merry. There are Elf-havens west of my land, the Shire, where Hobbits live. Yicket folk are Hobbits to dwell near the shores of the sea. said Haldir. It is long indeed since any of my folk have looked on it, yet still we remember it in song.

Some beastly hole of the Orcs, Ill warrant, with a hundred years of their filth in it. Well, said Frodo, Orcs or no, if its the only way, we must take it. Drawing a deep breath they passed inside. In a few steps they were in utter and impenetrable dark. Not since the lightless passages of Moria had Frodo or Sam known such darkness, and if possible here it was deeper and denser. There, there were airs moving, and echoes, and a sense of space. Here the air was still, stagnant, heavy, and 718 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS this web page fell dead. They walked as it were in a black vapour wrought of veritable darkness itself that, as it was breathed, brought blindness not only to the eyes but to the mind, so that even the memory of colours and of forms and of any light faded out of thought. Night always had been, and always would be, and night was all. But for a while they could still feel, and indeed the senses of their feet and fingers at first seemed sharpened almost painfully. The walls felt, to their surprise, smooth, and the floor, save for a step now and again, was straight and even, going ever up at the same stiff slope. The tunnel was high and wide, so wide that, though the hobbits walked abreast, only touching the side-walls with their outstretched hands, they were separated, cut off alone in the darkness. Gollum had gone in first and seemed to be only a few steps ahead. While they were still able to give heed to such things, they could hear his breath hissing and gasping just in front of them. But after a time their senses became duller, both touch and hearing seemed to grow numb, and they kept on, groping, walking, on and on, mainly by the force of the will with which they had entered, will to go through and desire to come at last to the high gate beyond. Before read article had gone very far, perhaps, but time and distance soon passed out of his reckoning, Sam on the right, feeling the wall, was aware that there was an opening at the side: for a moment he caught a faint breath of some air less heavy, and then they passed it by. Theres more than one passage here, he whispered with an effort: it seemed hard to make his breath give any sound. Its as orc-like a place as ever there could be. After that, first he on the right, and then Frodo on the left, passed three or four such openings, some wider, some smaller; but there was as yet no doubt of the main way, for it was straight, and did not turn, and still went steadily up. But how long was it, how much more of Pubg keyboard controls youtube would they have to endure, or could they endure. The breathlessness of the air was growing as they climbed; and now they seemed often in the blind dark to sense Pubg keyboard controls youtube resistance thicker than the foul air. As they thrust forward they felt things brush against their heads, or against their hands, long tentacles, or hanging growths perhaps: they could not tell what they were. And still the stench grew. It grew, until almost it seemed to them that smell was the only clear sense left to them, and that was for their torment. One hour, two hours, three hours: how many had they passed in this lightless hole. Hours days, weeks rather. Sam left the tunnel-side and shrank towards Frodo, and their hands met and clasped, and so together they still went on. At length Frodo, groping along the left-hand wall, came suddenly to a void. Almost he fell sideways into the emptiness. Here was some S HE L OBS LAIR 719 opening in the rock far wider than any they had yet passed; and out of it came a reek so foul, and a sense of lurking malice so intense, that Frodo reeled. And at that moment Sam too lurched and fell forwards. Fighting off both the sickness and the fear, Frodo gripped Sams hand. he said in a hoarse breath without voice. It all comes from here, the stench and the peril. Now for it. Quick. Calling up his remaining strength and resolution, he dragged Sam to please click for source feet, and forced his own limbs to move. Sam stumbled beside him. One step, two steps, three steps at last six Pubg keyboard controls youtube. Maybe they had passed the dreadful unseen opening, but whether that was so or not, suddenly it was easier to move, as if some hostile will for the moment had released Pubg keyboard controls youtube. They struggled on, still hand in hand. But almost at once they came to a new difficulty. The tunnel forked, or so it seemed, and in the dark they could not tell which was the wider way, or which kept nearer to the straight. Which should they take, the left, or the right. They knew of nothing to guide them, yet a false choice would almost certainly be fatal. Which way has Gollum gone. panted Sam. Pubg keyboard controls youtube why didnt he wait. Sme´agol. said Frodo, trying to call. Sme´agol. But his voice croaked, and the name fell dead almost as it left his lips. There was no answer, not an echo, not even a tremor of the air. Hes really gone this time, I fancy, muttered Sam. I guess this is just exactly where he meant to bring us. Gollum.
