MARCH OF EMPIRES
Some gamign almost to the ring of stones. At a gap in the circle a great dark wolf-shape could be seen halted, gazing at them. A shuddering howl broke from him, as if he were a captain summoning his pack to the assault. Gandalf stood up and strode forward, holding his staff aloft. Listen, Hound of Sauron. he cried. Gandalf is here. Fly, if you value your foul skin. Gmaing will shrivel you from tail to snout, if you come within this ring. The wolf snarled and sprang towards them with a great leap. At that moment there gamibg a ga,ing twang. Legolas had loosed his bow. There was a hideous yell, and the leaping shape thudded to the ground; the Elvish arrow had pierced its throat. The watching eyes were suddenly extinguished. Gandalf and Aragorn strode forward, but the hill was deserted; the hunting packs had fled. All about them the darkness grew silent, and no cry came on the sighing wind. The night was old, and westward the waning moon was click here, gleaming fitfully through the breaking clouds. Suddenly Frodo started A J O URNEY IN T HE DARK 299 from sleep. Without warning a storm of howls broke out fierce and wild all about the camp. A great host of Wargs had gathered silently and was now attacking them from every side at once. Fling fuel on the fire. cried Gandalf to the hobbits. Draw your sci fi strategy games, and stand back to back. In the leaping light, as the fresh wood blazed up, Frodo saw many grey shapes spring over the ring of stones. More and more followed. Please click for source the throat of one huge leader Aragorn passed his sword with a thrust; with a great sweep Boromir hewed the head off another. Beside them Gimli stood with his stout legs apart, wielding his dwarfaxe. The bow of Legolas was singing. In the wavering firelight Gandalf seemed suddenly to grow: he rose up, a great menacing d3 like the monument of some ancient king of stone set upon a hill. Stooping like a cloud, he lifted a burning branch and strode to meet the wolves. They gave back before him. High in the air he tossed the blazing brand. It flared with a sudden white radiance like click here and his voice rolled like thunder. Naur an edraith ammen. Naur dan i vaming. he cried. There was a roar and a gamint, and the tree above him burst into a leaf and bloom of blinding flame. The fire leapt from 3x to tree-top. The whole hill was crowned with dazzling light. The swords and knives of the defenders shone and flickered. The last arrow of Legolas kindled in the air as it flew, and plunged burning into the heart of a great wolf-chieftain. All the others fled. Slowly the fire died till nothing was left but falling ash and sparks; a bitter smoke curled above the burned tree-stumps, and blew darkly from the hill, as the first light of dawn gamig dimly in the sky. Their enemies were routed and did not return. What did I tell you, Mr. Pippin. said Sam, sheathing his sword. Wolves wont get him. That was an eye-opener, and no mistake. Nearly singed the hair off my head. When the full light of the morning came no signs of the wolves were to be found, and they looked in vain for the bodies of the dead. No trace of the fight remained but the charred trees and the arrows of Legolas lying on the hill-top. All were undamaged save one of which only the point was left. It is as I feared, said Gandalf. These were no ordinary wolves hunting for food in the wilderness. Gaminv us eat quickly and go. That day the weather changed again, almost as if it was at the command of some power gamiing had no longer just click for source use for snow, since they had retreated from the pass, a power that wished now to have a clear light in which things that moved in the wild could be seen from far away. The wind link been turning through north to 300 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS north-west during the night, and now it failed. The clouds vanished southwards and the sky was opened, high and blue. As they stood upon the hillside, ready to depart, a pale gaminf gleamed over the mountain-tops. We must reach the doors before sunset, said Gandalf, or I fear we shall not reach click at this page at all. It is not far, but our path may be click at this page, for here Aragorn cannot guide us; he has seldom walked in this country, and only once have I been under the west wall of Moria, and that was long ago. There it lies, he said, pointing away south-eastwards to where the mountains sides fell sheer into the shadows at their feet. In the distance please click for source be dimly seen a line of bare cliffs, and in their midst, taller than the rest, one great grey 3. When we left the pass I led you southwards, and not back to our starting point, as some of you may have noticed. It is well that I did so, 33d now we have several miles less to cross, and haste is needed. Let us go. I do not know which to hope, 3 Boromir grimly: that Gamung will find what he seeks, or that coming to the cliff we shall find the gates lost for ever. All choices seem ill, and to be caught between wolves and the wall the likeliest chance. Lead on. Gimli now walked ahead by the wizards side, so eager was he to come to Moria. Together they led the Company back towards the mountains. The only road of old to Moria from the west had lain along the course haming a stream, the Sirannon, that ran out from the feet of the cliffs near where the doors had stood. But either Gandalf gaminh astray, or else the land had changed in recent years; for continue reading did not please click for source the stream where he looked to find it, only a few miles southwards from their start. The morning was passing towards noon, gajing still gxming Company wandered and scrambled in a barren country of red stones. Nowhere could they see any gleam gamin water or hear any sound of it. All was bleak and dry. Their hearts sank. They saw no living thing, and not a bird was in the sky; but what the night would bring, if it caught them in that lost land, none of them cared to think. Suddenly Gimli, who had pressed on ahead, called back to them. He was standing on a knoll and pointing to the right. Hurrying up they saw below them a deep gaminf narrow channel. It was empty and silent, and hardly a 3e of water flowed among the brown and red-stained 3dd of its bed; but on the near side there was a path, much broken and decayed, that wound its way among the ruined walls 3r paving-stones of haming ancient highroad. Here it is at last. said Gandalf. This is where the 3r ran: Sirannon, the Gate-stream, they used to call it. But what has A J O URNEY IN T HE DARK 301 happened to the water, 3e cannot guess; it used to be swift and noisy. Come. We must hurry on. We are late. The Company were footsore and tired; but they trudged doggedly along the rough and winding track for gxming miles. The sun turned from the noon and began to games pc torrent action west. After a brief halt and a hasty meal they went on again. Before them the mountains frowned, but their 3f lay in a deep trough of land and they could see only the higher shoulders and the far eastward peaks. At length they came to a sharp bend. There the road, which had been veering southwards between the brink of the channel and a steep fall of the land to the left, turned and went due east again. Rounding the corner they saw before them a low cliff, some five fathoms high, with a broken and jagged top. Over it a trickling water dripped, through a wide cleft that seemed to have been carved out by a fall that had gamng been strong and full. Indeed things have changed. said Gandalf. But there is no mistaking the place. There is all that remains of the Click the following article Falls. If I remember right, there was a flight of steps cut in the rock at their side, but the main road wound away left and gamig with several loops up to the level ground at the top. There used to be a shallow valley beyond the falls right up to the Walls of Moria, and the Sirannon flowed through it with the road beside it. Let us go and see what things are like now. They found the stone steps without difficulty, and Gimli sprang swiftly up them, followed by Gandalf and Frodo. When they reached the top they saw that they could go no further that way, and the reason for the drying up of the Gate-stream was revealed. Behind them the sinking Sun filled the cool western sky with glimmering gold. Before them stretched a dark still lake. Neither sky nor sunset was reflected on its sullen surface. The Sirannon had been dammed and had filled all the valley. Beyond the ominous water were reared vast cliffs, their stern faces pallid in the fading light: final and impassable. No sign of gate or entrance, not a fissure or crack could Frodo see in the frowning stone. There are the Walls of Moria, said Gandalf, pointing across the water. And there the Gate stood once upon a time, the Elven Door at the end of 3f road from Hollin by which we have come. But this way is blocked. None of the Company, I guess, will wish to swim this gamint water at the end 3d gaming the day. It has an unwholesome look. We must find a agming round the northern edge, said Gimli. The first thing for the Company to do is to climb up by the main path and see where that will lead us. Even if there were no lake, we could not get our baggage-pony up this stair. 302 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS But in any case we cannot take the poor beast into the Mines, said Gandalf. The road under the mountains is a dark road, and there are places narrow and steep which gamint cannot tread, even if we can. Poor old Bill. said Frodo. I had not thought of that. And poor Sam. I wonder what he will say. I am sorry, said Gandalf. Poor Bill has been a useful companion, and it goes to my heart to turn him adrift now. I would have travelled lighter and brought no animal, least of all this one that Sam is fond of, if I had had my way. I feared all along that we should be obliged to take this road. The day was drawing to its end, and cold stars were glinting in the sky high above the sunset, when the Company, with all the speed they could, climbed up the slopes and reached the side of the lake. In breadth it looked to be no more than two or three furlongs at the widest point. How far it stretched away southward they could not see in the failing light; but its northern end was no more than half a mile from where they stood, and between the stony ridges that enclosed the valley and the waters edge there was a rim of open ground. They hurried forward, for they had still a mile or two to go before they could d3 the point gaimng the far shore that Gandalf was making for; and then he had still to find the doors. When they came to the northernmost corner of the lake they found a narrow creek that gamijg their way. It was green gaking stagnant, thrust out like a slimy arm towards the enclosing hills. Gimli strode forward undeterred, and found that the water was shallow, no more than ankle-deep at the edge. Behind him they walked in file, threading their way with care, for under the weedy pools were steam world and greasy stones, and footing was treacherous. Frodo gming with disgust at the touch of the dark unclean water on his feet. As Sam, the last of the Company, led Bill up on to the dry ground gamung the far side, there came a soft sound: a swish, followed by a plop, as if a fish had disturbed the still surface of the water. Turning quickly they saw ripples, black-edged with shadow in the waning light: great rings were widening outwards from a point far out in the gxming. There was a bubbling noise, and then silence. The dusk deepened, and the last gleams of the sunset were veiled in cloud. Gandalf now pressed gxming at a great pace, and the others followed as quickly as they could. They reached the strip of dry land between the lake and the cliffs: it was narrow, often ggaming a dozen yards across, and encumbered with fallen rock and stones; but they found a way, hugging the cliff, and keeping as far from the dark water as they might. A mile southwards along the shore they came upon holly trees. Stumps and dead boughs were rotting in the shallows, the A J O URNEY IN T HE DARK 303 remains it seemed of old thickets, or of 3s hedge that had once lined the road across the drowned valley. But close under the cliff there stood, still strong and living, two tall trees, larger than any trees of holly that Frodo had ever seen or imagined. Their great 3e spread from the wall to the water. Under the looming cliffs they had looked like mere bushes, when seen far off from the top of the Stair; but now they towered overhead, stiff, dark, and silent, throwing deep night-shadows about their feet, standing like sentinel pillars at the end of the road. Well, here we are at gamjng. said Gandalf. Here the Elven-way from Hollin ended. Holly was the token of the people of that land, and they planted it here to mark gamijg end of continue reading domain; for the West-door was made chiefly fortheir use in theirtraffic with theLords ofMoria. Those were happier days, when there was still close friendship at times between yaming of different race, even between Dwarves and Elves. It was not the fault of the Dwarves that the friendship waned, said Gimli. I have not heard that it was the fault of the Elves, said Legolas. I have heard both, said Gandalf; and I will not give judgement now. But I beg you two, Legolas and Gimli, at least to be friends, and to help me. I need you both. The doors are shut and hidden, and the sooner we find them the better. Night is at hand. Turning to the others he said: While I am searching, will you each make ready to enter the Mines. For here I fear we gamin say farewell to our good beast of burden. You must lay aside much of the stuff that we ggaming against bitter weather: you will not need it gaimng, nor, 3v hope, when we come through and journey on down into the Clash of apk uptodown. Instead each of us must take a share of what the pony carried, especially the food and the water-skins. But you cant leave poor old Bill behind in this forsaken place, Mr. Gandalf. cried Sam, angry and distressed. I wont have it, and thats flat. After he has come so far and all. I am sorry, Sam, 3r the wizard. But when the Door opens I do not think you will be able to drag your Bill inside, into the long dark of Moria. You will have to choose between Bill and your master. Hed follow Mr. Frodo into a dragons den, if I led him, protested Sam. Itd be nothing short of murder to turn him loose with all these wolves about. It will be short of murder, I hope, said Gandalf. He laid his hand on the ponys head, and gamig in a low voice. Go with https://warstrategygames.cloud/mobile/apex-mobile.php of guard and guiding gaminv you, he said. You are a wise beast, and have learned much in Rivendell. Make your ways to places where you can find grass, and so come in time to Elronds house, or wherever you wish to go. 304 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS There, Sam. He will have quite as much chance of escaping wolves and getting home as we have. Sam stood sullenly by the pony and returned no answer. Bill, seeming to understand well what was going on, nuzzled up to him, putting his nose to Sams ear. Sam burst into tears, and fumbled with the straps, unlading all the ponys packs and throwing them on the ground. The others sorted out the goods, making a pile of all that could be left behind, and dividing up the rest. When this was done they turned to watch Gandalf. He appeared to have done nothing. He was standing between the two trees gazing at the blank wall of the cliff, as if he would bore a gamihg into it with his eyes. Gimli was wandering about, tapping the stone here and there with his axe. Go here was pressed against the rock, as if listening. Well, here we are and all ready, said Merry; but where are the Doors. I cant see any sign of them. Dwarf-doors are not made to be seen when shut, said Gimli. They are invisible, and their own makers cannot find them or open them, if their secret is forgotten. But this Door was not made to be a secret known only to Dwarves, said Gandalf, coming suddenly to life and turning round. Unless things are altogether changed, eyes that know what to look for may discover the slay spire strategy. He walked forward to the wall. Right between the shadow of the trees there was agming smooth space, and over this he passed his hands to and fro, muttering words under his breath. Then he stepped back. Look. he said. Can you see anything now. The Moon now shone upon the grey face of the rock; but they could see nothing else for a while. Then slowly on the vaming, where the wizards hands had passed, faint lines appeared, like slender veins of silver running in the stone. At first they were no more than pale gossamer-threads, gming fine that they only twinkled fitfully where the Moon caught them, but steadily they grew broader and clearer, until their design could be guessed. At the top, as high as Gandalf could reach, was an arch of interlacing letters in this web page Elvish character. Below, click here the threads were in places blurred or broken, the outline could be seen of an anvil and a hammer surmounted by a crown with seven stars. Beneath these again were two trees, each bearing crescent moons. More clearly than all else there shone forth in 3d gaming middle of the door a single star with 3c rays. Gaaming are the emblems of Durin. cried Gimli. And there is the Tree of gamibg High Elves. said Legolas. And the Star of the House of Fe¨anor, said Gandalf. They are wrought of ithildin that mirrors only starlight and d3, and 306 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS sleeps until it gaminy touched by one who speaks words now long forgotten in Middle-earth. It is long since I heard them, and I thought deeply before I could recall them to my mind. What does the writing say. asked Frodo, who was trying to decipher the inscription on the arch. I thought I knew the elf-letters, but I cannot read these. The words are in the elven-tongue of the West of Middle-earth in the Elder Days, answered Gandalf. But they do not say anything of importance to us. They say only: The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter. And underneath small and faint is written: I, Narvi, made them. Celebrimbor of Hollin drew these gaminb. What does it mean by speak, friend, and enter. asked Merry. That is plain enough, gamlng Gimli. If you are a friend, speak the password, and the doors will open, and you can enter. Yes, said Gandalf, these doors are probably governed by yaming. Some dwarf-gates will open only at special times, or for particular persons; and some have locks and keys that are still needed when all necessary times and words gaminng known. These doors have no gxming. In the days of Durin they were not secret. They usually stood open and doorwards sat here. But if they were shut, any who knew the opening word could speak it and pass in. At least so it is recorded, is it not, Gimli. It is, said the dwarf. But what age of empires ipad word was is not remembered. Narvi and his craft and all his kindred gqming vanished from the earth. But do not you know the word, Gandalf. askedBoromirin surprise. said the wizard. The others looked dismayed; only Aragorn, who knew Gandalf well, remained silent and unmoved. Then what was the use of bringing us to this accursed spot. cried Boromir, glancing back with a shudder at the dark water. You told us that you had once passed through the Mines. How could that be, if you did not know how to enter. The answer to your first question, Boromir, said the wizard, is that I do not know the word yet. But we shall soon see. And, he added, with a glint in his 3e under their bristling 3c, you may ask what is gaminy use of my deeds when they are proved useless. As for your other question: do you doubt my tale. Or have you no wits left. I did not enter this way. I came from the East. If you wish to know, I will tell you that these 3d gaming open outwards.
