Chapter 12: Gift of Grace(Am I Sleeping Beauty or Something?)

You know that scene from Sleeping Beauty? When the fairies give her the gifts? I felt like Sleeping Beauty. But you know, with intelligence and the fairy was related to me. Go figure. Galadriel gave me a ring and a pendent. The ring was red, and had gold streams running through it. The pendent was a horse, reaing and I studied it. Why would she give me these things?

As we went to the boats, Frodo looked at me.

"She gave me a bottle of light."

"A ring and a pendent." We all settled into the boats, and I kept watching the banks. Occasionally speaking in Elvish with Aragorn.

"I can hear orks."

"They do not trouble me."

"They should. Only fools have no fear."

"I am not a fool."

"Who said you were?"

Aragorn lapsed into silence for a bit until we reached large statues. I bowed my head a little.

"The great kings of old. They have guarded this pass long." Legolas smiled.

"They are waiting." I felt a shiver down my spine as we went away from the statues.

At Amon Sul...

I ignored Gimli as he rambled about how hard the rest of our journey would be.

"Shut thy mouth Gimli," I snapped. Gimli looked taken aback.

"So, the bird has a song." I glared at him and turned to Aragorn.

"We have to move! The orks are gathering. I can feel it." Aragorn frowned.

"How?"

"Many life auras, all of them foul, gather in this shore." We heard a cry.

"Where is Mr. Frodo!?!" I looked around.

"It seems Boromir has left. But he left his shield." Aragorn and I took off, trying to find Frodo. We spotted him in the ruins of an old building. Frodo looked at as frightened.

"It has taken Boromir." Aragorn looked nervous.

"Where is the Ring?" It came out harsher than he meant, scaring the hobbit more. He backed away. I blinked.

"Frodo, we swore to protect you." Frodo looked ready to cry.

"Can you protect me from yourselves?" I smiled.

"We would have followed you into the fires of Mordor." I hugged him. "Go now. Do what you must." Frod hugged me tightly.

"Take care of the others. Especially Sam, he will not understand." I flinched.

"Frodo, go! Now!" He drew Sting, it was glowing blue. Frodo took off as the orcs swarmed us.
