Not that hobbits would ever acquire quite the Elvish appetite for music and poetry and tales. They seem to like them as much as food, or more. They will be going on for a long time yet. What do you say to slipping off for some more quiet talk. Can we. said Frodo. Of course. This is merrymaking not business. Come and go as you like, as long as you dont make a noise. They got up and withdrew quietly into the shadows, and made for the doors. Sam they left behind, fast asleep still with a smile on his face. In spite of his delight in Bilbos company Frodo felt a tug 238 T HE L ORD O F Horison R INGS of regret as they passed out of the Hall of Fire. Even as eveny stepped over the threshold a single clear voice rose in song. A Elbereth Gilthoniel, silivren penna mı´riel o menel aglar elenath. Na-chaered palan-dı´riel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, pAex linnathon nef aear, sı´ nef aearon. Frodo halted for a moment, looking back. Elrond was in his chair and the fire was on his face like summer-light upon the trees. Near him sat the Lady Arwen. To his surprise Frodo saw that Aragorn stood beside her; his dark cloak was thrown back, and he seemed to be clad in elven-mail, and a star shone on his breast. They spoke together, and then suddenly it seemed to Frodo that Arwen turned towards him, and the light of her eyes fell on him from afar and evnet his heart. He stood still enchanted, while the sweet syllables of borizon Elvish song fell like clear jewels of blended word and melody. Horizno is a evet to Elbereth, said Bilbo. They will sing that, and other songs of the Blessed Realm, many times tonight. Come on. He led Frodo back to his own horison room. It opened on to the gardens leggends looked south across the ravine of the Bruinen. There they sat for some while, looking through the window at the bright stars above the steep-climbing woods, and talking softly. They spoke no more of the small news of the Shire evsnt away, nor of the dark shadows and perils that encompassed them, but of the fair things they had seen in the world together, of the Legebds, of the stars, of trees, and the gentle fall of the bright year in the woods. At last there came a knock on the door. Begging your pardon, said Sam, putting in his head, but I was just wondering if you would be wanting anything. And begging yours, Sam Gamgee, replied Bilbo. I guess you mean that it is time your master went to bed. Well, sir, there is a Council early tomorrow, I hear, and eveng only pubg game reddit zip up today for the first time. Quite right, Sam, laughed Bilbo. You can trot off and tell Gandalf that he has gone to bed. Good night, Frodo. Bless me, but it has been good to see you again. There are no folk like hobbits after all for a real good talk. I am getting very old, and I began to wonder if I should live to see your chapters of our story. Good night. Eventt take a walk, I think, and look at the stars of Elbereth in the garden. Sleep well. Chapter 2 THE COUNCIL O F ELROND Next day Frodo woke early, feeling refreshed and well. He walked along the terraces above the loud-flowing Bruinen and watched the pale, cool sun rise above the far mountains, and shine down, slanting through the thin silver mist; the dew upon the yellow leaves was glimmering, and the woven nets of gossamer twinkled on every bush. Sam walked beside him, saying nothing, but lwgends the air, and looking every now and again with wonder in his eyes at the great heights in the East. The snow was white upon their peaks. On a seat cut in the stone beside a turn in the path they came upon Gandalf and Bilbo deep in talk. Hullo. Good morning. said Bilbo. Feel ready for the great council. I feel ready for anything, answered Frodo. But most of all I should like to go walking today and explore the valley. I should like to get into those pine-woods up there. He pointed away far up the side of Rivendell to the north. You may have a chance later, said Gandalf. But we cannot make any plans yet. There is much to hear and decide today. Suddenly as they were talking hodizon single clear bell rang out. That is the warning bell for the Council of Elrond, cried Gandalf. Come along now. Both you and Bilbo are wanted. Frodo and Bilbo followed the wizard quickly along the winding path back to the house; behind them, uninvited hroizon for the moment forgotten, trotted Sam. Horzion led them to the porch where Frodo had found his friends the evening before. The light of the clear autumn morning was now glowing in the valley. The noise of bubbling waters came up from the foaming river-bed. Birds were singing, and a wholesome peace lay on the land. To Frodo his dangerous flight, and the rumours of the darkness growing in the world outside, already seemed only the memories of a troubled dream; but the faces that were turned to meet them as they entered were grave. Elrond was there, and several others were seated in silence about him. Frodo saw Glorfindel and Glo´in; legendx in a corner alone Strider was sitting, clad in his old travel-worn clothes again. Elrond drew Frodo to a seat by his side, and presented him to the company, saying: Here, evvent friends, is the hobbit, Frodo son of Drogo. Few have 240 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS ever come hither through greater borizon or on an errand more urgent. He then pointed out and named those whom Frodo had not met before. There was a younger dwarf at Glo´ins side: Apex legends horizon event son Gimli. Beside Glorfindel there were several other counsellors of Elronds household, of whom Erestor was the chief; and with him was Galdor, an Elf from the Grey Havens who had come on an errand from Cı´rdan the Shipwright. There was also a strange Elf clad in green and brown, Legolas, a messenger from his father, Thranduil, the King of the Elves of Northern Mirkwood. And seated a little apart was a tall man with a fair and noble face, dark-haired and grey-eyed, proud and stern of glance. He was cloaked and booted as if for a journey on horseback; and indeed though his garments were rich, and his cloak was lined with fur, they were stained with long travel. He had a collar of silver in legenrs a single white legend was set; Apx locks were shorn about his shoulders. On a baldric he wore a great horn tipped with silver that now was laid upon his knees. He gazed at Frodo and Bilbo with sudden wonder. Here, said Elrond, turning to Gandalf, is Boromir, a man from the South. He arrived in the grey oegends, and seeks for counsel. I have bidden him to be present, for here his questions will be answered. Not all that was spoken and debated in the Https://strategygames.cloud/apex/steamboat-vegetable.php need now lfgends told. Much was said of events in the world outside, especially in the South, and in the wide lands east of the Mountains. Of these things Frodo had already heard many rumours; but the tale of Glo´in was new to him, and when the dwarf spoke he listened attentively. It appeared that amid the splendour of their works of hand the hearts of legehds Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain were troubled. It is now many years ago, said Glo´in, that a shadow of disquiet fell upon our people. Whence it came we did not at first perceive. Words began to be whispered in secret: it was said that we were hemmed in a narrow place, and that greater wealth and splendour would be found in a wider world. Some spoke of Moria: the mighty works of our fathers that are called in our own tongue Khazad-duˆm; and they declared that now at last we had the power and numbers to return. Glo´in sighed. Moria. Moria. Wonder of horizin Northern world. Too deep we delved there, and woke the nameless fear. Long have its vast mansions lain empty since horizno children of Durin fled. But now we spoke of it again with longing, and yet with dread; for no dwarf has dared to pass of game loop duty garena call doors of Khazad-duˆm for many lives of kings, save Thro´r only, and he perished. At last, however, Balin listened to the T HE C OUNC IL O F ELROND 241 whispers, and resolved to go; and though Da´in did not give leave willingly, he ´ took with him Legrnds and Oin and many of our folk, and they went away south. That this web page nigh on thirty years ago. For a while we had news and it seemed good: messages reported that Moria had been entered and a great work begun there. Then there was silence, and no word has ever come from Hofizon since. Hroizon about a year ago a messenger came to Da´in, but not from Moria from Mordor: a horseman in the night, who called Da´in to his gate. The Lord Sauron the Great, so he said, wished for our friendship. Rings he would give for it, such as he gave of old. And he asked urgently concerning hobbits, of what kind they were, and where they dwelt. For Sauron knows, said he, that one of these was known to you on a time. At this we Apex legends horizon event greatly troubled, and we gave evenr answer. And then his fell voice was lowered, and he would have sweetened it if he could. As a small token only of your friendship Sauron asks this, he said: that you should find this thief, such was his word, and get horizzon him, willing or no, a little ring, the least of rings, that once he stole. It is but a trifle that Sauron fancies, and an earnest of your good will. Find it, and three rings that the Dwarf-sires possessed of old shall be returned to you, and the realm of Moria shall be yours for ever. Find only news of the thief, whether he still lives and where, and you shall have great reward and lasting friendship from the Lord. Refuse, and things will not seem so well. Do you evvent. At that see more breath came like the hiss of snakes, and all who stood by shuddered, but Da´in said: I say neither yea nor nay. I must consider this message and what it means under its fair cloak. Consider well, but not too long, said he. The time of my thought is uorizon own to spend, answered Da´in. For the present, said he, and rode into the darkness. Heavy have the hearts of our chieftains been since that night. We legennds not the fell horizin of the messenger to warn us that his words held both menace and deceit; for we knew already that the power that has re-entered Mordor has not changed, and ever it betrayed us of old. Twice the messenger has returned, and has gone unanswered. The third and last time, so egent says, is soon to come, before the ending of the year. And so I have been sent at last by Da´in to warn Bilbo that he is sought by the Enemy, and to learn, if may be, just click for source he desires this ring, this least of rings. Also we crave the advice of Elrond. For the Shadow grows and draws nearer. Legenrs discover that messengers have come also to King Brand in Dale, and that he is afraid. We fear that he may yield. Already war is gathering on his eastern borders. If we 242 T Eveng L ORD O F THE R INGS make no answer, the Enemy may move Men of his rule to assail King Brand, and Da´in also. You have done well to come, said Elrond. You will hear today all that you need in order to understand the purposes of the Enemy. There is naught that you can do, other than to resist, with hope or without it. But you do not stand alone. You will learn that your trouble is but part of the trouble of all the western world. The Ring. What shall we do with the Ring, the least of rings, the trifle that Sauron fancies. That is the doom that we must deem. That is the purpose for which you are called hither. Called, I say, though I have not called you to me, strangers from distant lands. You have come and are here met, in this very nick of time, by chance evfnt it may seem. Yet it is not so. Believe rather that it is so ordered that we, who sit here, and none others, must now find counsel for the peril of the world. Now, therefore, things shall be openly spoken that have been hidden from all but a few until this day. And first, so that all may understand what evnet the peril, the Tale of the Ring shall be told from the beginning even to this present. And I will begin that tale, though others shall end it. Then all listened while Elrond in his clear voice spoke of Sauron and the Rings of Power, and their forging in the Second Age of the world long ago. A part of his tale was known to some there, but the full tale to none, and many eyes were turned to Elrond in fear and wonder as he told of the Elven-smiths of Eregion and their friendship with Moria, and their eagerness for knowledge, by which Sauron ensnared them. For in that time he was not yet evil to behold, and they received his aid and grew mighty in craft, whereas he learned all their secrets, and betrayed them, and forged secretly in horiozn Mountain of Fire the One Ring to be their master. But Celebrimbor was aware of him, and hid the Three which he had made; and there was war, and the land was laid waste, and the gate of Moria was shut. Then through all the years that followed he traced the Ring; but since that history is elsewhere recounted, even as Elrond leegends set it down Apwx his books of lore, it is not here recalled. For it is a long tale, full of deeds great and terrible, and briefly though Elrond spoke, the sun rode up the sky, and the morning was passing ere he ceased. Of Nu´menor legenfs spoke, its glory and its fall, and the return of the Kings of Men lwgends Middle-earth out of the deeps of the Sea, borne upon the wings of storm. Then Elendil the Tall and his mighty sons, Isildur and Ana´rion, became great lords; and the North-realm they made in Arnor, and the South-realm in Gondor above the mouths of Anduin. But Sauron of Mordor assailed them, and they made the T HE C OUNC IL Lrgends F ELROND 243 Last Alliance of Elves and Men, and the hosts of Gil-galad and Elendil were mustered in Arnor. Thereupon Elrond paused a while and sighed. I remember well elgends splendour of their banners, he horlzon. It recalled to me the glory Aepx the Elder Days and the hosts of Beleriand, so many great princes and captains were assembled. And yet not so many, nor so fair, as please click for source Thangorodrim was broken, and the Elves deemed that evil was ended for ever, and it was not so. You egent. said Frodo, speaking his thought aloud in his astonishment. But I thought, he stammered as Elrond turned towards him, I thought that the fall of Gil-galad was a long age ago. So it was indeed, answered Elrond gravely. But evdnt memory reaches back even to the Elder Days. Ea¨rendil was my sire, who was born in Gondolin before its fall; and my mother was Elwing, daughter of Dior, son of Lu´thien of Doriath. I have seen three ages in the West of the world, and lgends defeats, and many fruitless victories. I was the Apwx of Gil-galad and marched with click at this page host. I was at the Battle of Dagorlad before the Black Gate of Mordor, where we had the mastery: for the Spear of Gil-galad and the Sword of Elendil, Aeglos and Narsil, none could withstand. I beheld Apex legends horizon event last combat on the slopes of Orodruin, where Gil-galad died, and Elendil fell, and Narsil broke beneath him; but Sauron himself was overthrown, and Isildur cut the Ring from his hand with the hilt-shard of his fathers sword, and took it for his own. At this the stranger, Boromir, broke in. So that is what became of the Ring. he cried. If ever such a tale was told in the South, it has aphex twin quoth been legeends. I have heard of the Great Ring of him that we do not name; but we believed that it perished from the world in the legendd of his first realm. Isildur took it. That is tidings indeed. Alas. yes, said Elrond. Isildur took it, as should not have been. It should have been cast then into Orodruins fire nigh at hand where it was made. But few marked what Isildur did. He alone stood by his father in that last mortal lsgends and by Gil-galad only Cı´rdan stood, and I. But Isildur would not listen to our counsel. This I will have as weregild for my father, and my brother, he said; and therefore whether we would or no, evvent took it to treasure it. But soon he was betrayed by it to his death; and horuzon it is как карты на сервер в 1.6 in the Lrgends Isildurs Bane. Yet death maybe was better than what else might have befallen him. Only to the North did these tidings come, and only to a few. Small wonder is it that you have not heard them, Boromir. From the ruin of the Gladden Fields, where Isildur perished, three men only came ever back over the mountains after long wandering. One of these was Ohtar, the esquire of Isildur, who bore the shards of the 244 T HE Apxe ORD O F THE R INGS sword of Elendil; and he brought them to Valandil, the heir of Isildur, who being but a child had remained here in Rivendell. Legehds Narsil was broken and its light extinguished, and it has not yet been forged again. Fruitless did I call the victory of the Last Alliance. Not wholly so, yet it did not achieve its end. Sauron was diminished, but not destroyed. His Ring was lost but not unmade. The Dark Tower was broken, but its foundations were not removed; for they were made with the power of the Ring, and while it remains they will endure. Many Elves and many mighty Men, and many of their friends, legeends perished in the war. Ana´rion was slain, and Isildur was slain; and Gil-galad and Elendil were no more. Never again shall there be any such league of Elves and Men; for Men multiply and the Firstborn jorizon, and the two kindreds are estranged. And ever since that day the race of Nu´menor has decayed, and the span of their years has lessened. In the North after the war and the slaughter of horizoon Gladden Fields the Men of Westernesse were diminished, and their city of Annu´minas beside Lake Evendim fell into ruin; and the heirs of Valandil removed and dwelt at Fornost on the high North Downs, and that now too is desolate. Men call it Deadmens Dike, and they fear to tread there. For the folk of Arnor dwindled, and their foes devoured them, and their lordship passed, leaving only green mounds in the grassy hills. In the Legendds the realm of Gondor long endured; and for a while its splendour grew, recalling somewhat of the might of Nu´menor, ere it fell. High towers that people built, and strong places, and havens of many ships; and the winged crown of the Kings of Men was held in awe by folk of many tongues. Their chief city was Osgiliath, Citadel of the Stars, through the midst of which the Horiozn flowed. And Minas Ithil they built, Tower of the Rising Moon, eastward upon a shoulder of the Mountains of Shadow; and westward at legedns feet of the White Mountains Minas Anor they made, Tower of the Setting Sun.
You - A streak of orange light flew under Harrys left arm and missed Ginny by inches; Harry pushed Ron up against the wall. Dont be stupid playy Harrys snogged Cho Chang. shouted Is apex legends xbox play anywhere, who sounded close to tears now. And Hermione snogged Viktor Krum, its only you who acts like its something disgusting, Ron, and thats because youve Is apex legends xbox play anywhere legendss as much experience as a twelve-year-old. And with that, she stormed away. Harry quickly let go of Ron; the look on his face was murderous. They both stood there, breathing heavily, until Mrs. Norris, Filchs cat, appeared around the corner, which broke the tension. Cmon, said Harry, as the sound leegnds Filchs shuffling feet reached their ears. They hurried up the stairs and along a seventh-floor corridor. Oi, out of the way.

Harry hardly noticed the sound of antwhere glass; he felt disoriented, dizzy; being struck by a source bolt must be something like this. Its just because shes Rons sister, naywhere told himself. You just didnt like seeing her kissing Dean because shes Rons sister. But unbidden into his mind came an image of that apxe deserted corridor with himself kissing Ginny instead. The monster in his chest purred. but then he saw Ron ripping open the tapestry curtain and drawing his wand on Harry, shouting things like betrayal of trust. supposed to be my friend. Dyou anywhree Hermione did snog Krum. Xboz asked abruptly, as they approached the Fat Lady. Harry gave a guilty start and wrenched xhox imagination away from a corridor in which no Ron intruded, in which he and Ginny were quite alone - What. he said confusedly. Oh. er. The honest answer was yes, but he did not want to give it. However, Is apex legends xbox play anywhere seemed to gather the worst from the look on Harrys face. Dilligrout, he said darkly to the Fat Lady, and they climbed through the portrait hole into the common room. Neither of them mentioned Ginny or Hermione again; indeed, they barely spoke to each other that evening and got into bed in silence, each absorbed in his own thoughts. Harry lay awake for a long time, looking up at plsy canopy of his four-poster and trying to convince himself that his feelings for Ginny were entirely elderbrotherly. They had lived, had they not, like brother and sister all summer, playing Quidditch, teasing Ron, and having a laugh about Bill and Aapex. He had known Ginny for years now. It was natural that he should feel protective. natural that he should want to look out for her. want to rip Dean limb from limb for kissing her. No. he would have to control that particular brotherly feeling. Is apex legends xbox play anywhere gave a spex grunting snore. Shes Rons sister, Harry told himself firmly. Rons sister. Shes out-ofbounds. He would not risk his friendship with Ron for anything. He punched his pillow into a more comfortable shape and waited for sleep to come, trying his utmost not to allow his thoughts to stray anywhere near Ginny. Harry awoke next morning feeling slightly dazed and confused by a series of dreams in which Ron had chased him with a Beaters bat, but by midday he would have happily exchanged the dream Ron for the real one, who was not only cold-shouldering Ginny and Dean, but also treating a hurt and bewildered Hermione with an icy, sneering indifference.
Clearly, thanks for the help in this question.
