Boromir is put to rest in one of the boats. His sword rests with him; the shield is over his head and the cleaved horn next to it. The boat glides over Rauros Falls and then falls into the mists below. You and Gimli Gimli see the ship disappear. Aragorn bears Boromir's vambraces in his honor. Legolas pushes the third boat into the water. "Hurry up! Frodo and Sam have reached the east bank," he says. Aragorn stands still and says nothing. you go to the elf and put a hand on his shoulder. he looks at you and then back at Aragorn. "You do not mean to follow them?" he asks. You sigh, then give a small hug to his shoulder and say, "Frodo's fate is no longer in our hands." Gimli then speaks up, sorrow and disappear in his word.

"Then it has all been in vain! The community has failed." Aragorn responds to his dwarven friend by placing his hand on his shoulder. you and Legolas go to them. "Not if we cling to each other. We will not leave Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have the strength left. Leave everything that can be saved. We travel easily. Let's hunt for some orcs!" says Aragorn, smiling. Gimli cheers. "Yes !!! Haha!" Aragorn runs into the woods, followed by Gimli, Legolas, and you.

Uruk sharks run across the terrain. Merry and Pippin are carried on the backs of two Uruk sharks. Merry is in bad shape with a cut on her forehead and does not seem so awake. Pippen is awake and whispers to him. "Happy! Happy!" A band of Uruk sharks marches across the plain, with two hobbits tied to the backs of two Uruk sharks. Pippin tries to call Merry, unconscious, with spots on her right forehead. Suddenly an Uruk shark raises his hand and signals stop. A group of Mordor orcs appears behind some rocks. "You're late. Our master is getting impatient. He wants the Shire rats now." hisses the conductor.

"I do not accept orders from Orc maggots. Saruman wants his prize. We will deliver them." the Uruk leader answers softly, threateningly. The Uruk leader turns away from the Orc leader, who immediately shows his reluctance towards Uruk. Meanwhile, Merry looks very sick and moans. "Merry! Merry! Wake up!" Pippin calls and watches Urukene drinking something from a leather bag. "My friend is sick. He needs water. Please!" he says, but the Uruk-hai leader mocks him and says, "Sick, is he? Give him some medicine, boys! Hahaha !!" An Uruk shark pours a syrupy liquid into Merry's mouth. Happy coughs and squirts with the juice in his mouth when he arrives.

"Stop it!" Pippin shouts, but the rioters do not hear him and roar in laughter, "Can't take his draft! Haha !!" Pippin gets annoyed and calls, "Leave him alone!" the weeks go by, and the leader snarls at the poor hobbit. "Why? Do you want some? Hey? So shut up!" Uruk turns away from the hobbits. Pippin then turns to his friend and sees that he has woken up. "God?" the blonde-haired halving responds, smiling. "Hey, Pip." Pippin gets a worried expression and mumbles, "Are you hurt?"

Merry smiles and says, "I'm fine. It was just an act." Pippin frowns and says, "An action?" Merry chuckles and says, "See? I fooled you too. Do not worry about me, Pippin." The Uruk-hai leader sniffs the air as he looks around. "What is it? What do you smell?" asks an Uruk, and the leader snaps, "Manflesh." the other Uruk-shark begins to grow axis and chatter among itself. "They have picked up our trail." sier and Uruk. Pippin smiles looks down at the ground, and whispers, "Aragorn." "Let's go!" the Uruk-hai leader roars, and Uruk-hai speeds up; Pippin has thought and acts on it right away. He uses his tears in his teeth; the leaf brooch on his Lorien cloak looks around and spits it out on the path. The Uruk feet step on the pin and push it further into the ground.

Aragorn lies on the rocky terrain and listens. The sound of many feet can be faintly heard. "Their temperature has increased. They must have caught our smell," he whispers to himself, then he gets up. He turns his head and shouts at Legolas and Gimli, and then you run away. "Hurry up!" Legolas comes running, you next to him. the elf prince calls back to Gimli. "Come on, Gimli." then run off with you again. a few steps behind you run Gimli, breathe hard, and pant. "Three days and nights of persecution. No food, no rest, no sign of our breach, but only stone can tell," he says.

You four-run across all prospects as fast as you can. Aragorn has stopped and knelt; he picks up Pippin's leaf brooch. you come up behind him and see the clip. "Not passively, Lorien's leaves fall," you mumble. Legolas runs up to you and says, "They can still be alive." you hum and put the brooch in your trouser pocket. then you lift your eyes, with the hood under the white cloak. "soon is the time, my friends." then you run and leave the three confused. "Less than a day ahead of us. Come," Aragorn said, following you. Behind them, Gimli falls out behind a rock and rolls down a hill. Legoals turn and shout at him. "Come! Gimli, we win on them!" Gimli fights on his feet and mumbles. "I'm a waste of cross country skiing. We dwarfs are natural sprinters. Very dangerous over short distances."

The three runners fight for you through a rocky area and come to a climb that overlooks the green and rocky terrain of Rohan. You are already standing there growling softly. Legoals walk up next to you and place a hand on your shoulder. "stay with us," he says, and your growl stops. "I will, Prince of Mirkwood," you say, not turning to him, but you feel him smiling at your words. "Rohan. The horse lords' home. There's something strange at work here. Some evil is speeding up these creatures. Putting their will against us." says Aragorn from the other side of you.

You then continue on the road down the rocks. Legolas runs in front, stops at a boulder, and looks over vast lands. you will soon be with him and see the unruly in your progressive vision. "Legolas! What do you see, elf eyes?" Aragorn calls lawyers who answer. "he Uruks turns northeast. They're taking Isengard's hobbits!" you hear Aragorn mumble. "Saruman," the very name sends anger that flows through your blood vessels, and you bite your teeth together.

In Isengard, you can see smoke and fire all around. The country is dark and gloomy. The sound of orcs working hard underground is heard. Saruman is seen inside Orthanc; his hand outstretched over Palantir, his eyes closed in concentration as he uses it to communicate with the Dark Lord Sauron. "The world is changing. Who now has the strength to stand up to the armies of Isengard and Mordor?" he says to Sauron. a glimpse into Palantir and the orcs are seen crossing the bridge to Barad Dur. "To oppose the power of Sauron and Saruman and the union of the two towers? Together, my lord Sauron, we shall rule over this middle earth." The tower of Barad Dur is seen, and Sauron's big burning eye on top of Mount Doom is seen in the distance.

Orcs chop down large trees. A tree falls into one of the pits in Isengard. Saruman goes through the ironworks under Isengard and inspects the orcs' work. "The old world will burn in the fires of industry; the forests will fall. A new order will emerge." Orcs are seen cutting the trunks of the trees, feeding the logs into the fires, and making weapons for Uruk sharks.

"We will drive the war machine with the sword and the spear and the iron hand of the orc." Uruk-Hai is hatched, then inspected by orcs. Saruman is outside and monitors the ongoing production. "I want them armed and ready to march in two weeks!" he says to an orc, the main orc down there. "But my lord, it's too many! They can not all be armed in time; we have no means," he answers. "Build a dam, block the creek, work the furnaces night and day." Saruman orders.

"We do not have enough fuel to feed the fires." while the orc says this, the Sauron's hand looks out over the Fangorn forest, a large forest with giant trees towering over the ground. "Fangornskogen is on our doorstep. Burn it!" he snaps. "Yes!" the chief sorcerer answers. Back in his throne room, Saruman listens to a Wildman of Dunland. "We will fight for you," he says. Saruman raises an eyebrow and says, "Swear it!" The savage takes his dagger and cuts his palm, and curses with the blood. "We will die for Saruman!"

Outside Isengard, Saruman is in the middle of a mob of savages, armed with torches and rods. "The horsemen took your lands. They drove your people into the hills to scrape a livelihood of stones!" he shouts, and the savages answer him, "Murderers!" The Wild Men are seen crying and grunting and raising their torches. "Take back the lands they stole from you, burn every village." Saruman orders. they shout approvingly and run out of Isengard, yelling and screaming. "We need to remove those who are against us. It will start in Rohan. For too long, farmers have stood against you. But no more." saurman says to sauron.

"What do you fear, lady?" [Aragorn] asked.
"A cage," [Éowyn] said. "To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire."
