Frodo finally takes off the ring and gets carried off by the man called the strider into one of the rooms at the inn.  "What do you want?" Frodo asks the man  "A little more caution from you, that's no trinket you carry"  the man answers.  "I carry nothing" Frodo answers quickly.  The man chuckles "I can avoid being seen if i wish but to dissapear entrierly that is a rare gift" the man pulls off his hood so Frodo can see his face. "Who are you?" Frodo asks the man "Are you frightened"  "Yes" Frodo answers.  "Not nearly frightened enough, I know what's hunting you"  but suddenly the door opens and in comes in with Grace first and the other hobbits behind her.  "Let him go or you will have the wrong hobbits to deal with" Grace tells the man.  The man take down his sword "You have a brave heart, little female hobbit. But that will not save you"  The man turns to Frodo "You can no longer wait for the wizard Frodo. They're coming" 

Only a short moment after the black riders breaks down the door to Bree and walks into the Prancing Pony and find the room where the hobbits sleeps in and stabs them in their sleep but thankfully The Strider had moved the hobbits to a different part of the inn and the black knights were in the wrong room. 

The Man called the Strider was sitting by the window watching the black knights and Grace was sitting on the bed with Frodo while Sam, Merry and Pippin was laying on their back on the bed.  "What are they?" Frodo asks the man  "They were once men. Great kings of men. Then Sauron the deciever  gave to them nine rings of power. Blinded by their greed  they took them without question.  One by one falling into darkness, now they are slaves to his will.  They are the nazgul, ring-wraiths. Neither living or dead. At all times they feel the presence of the ring drawn to the power of the one. They will never stop hunting you. 

So they continue their journey with this man called the Strider who they still haven't learned his real name yet. The naz-gul are still hunting them so they need to be careful.  "Where are you taking us?" Frodo asks him and he answers "Into the wild"  Merry walks up to Grace "How do we know this Strider is a friend of Gandalf?" Grace turns to him and smiles "We don't but we have no choice but to  trust him" Grace pats Merry's shoulder and continue walking.   "But where is he leading us?" Sam asks and the man answers "To Rivendell, Master Gamgee, to the house of Elrond" "Did you hear that, Rivendell. We're going to see the elves" Grace smiles and shakes her head at her brother, Sam has always loved the stories of the elves. 

Suddenly the hobbits stops and the Striders turns to them "Gentlemen and Lady. We do not stop until nightfall" He tells them "What about breakfast?" Pippin asks him.  "You've already had it" He answers but Pippin continues with they haven't had second breakfast yet so Grace walks up to Pippin to stop him "I don't think he knows about second breakfast so c'mon" Pippin nods and continue walking with his head down and Grace pats him at the shoulder and laughs. 

They continue walking until the Strider stops. "This was the watchtower of Amon Sul. We will rest here tonight." So they finally sits down and take deep breaths.  The Strider gives them all their own little sword. Everything is well until Grace and Frodo are sleeping but they wake up of the sound of cooking and fire so they instantly wake up and Frodo screams "Put it out you fools" Frodo tries to stop the fire with his feet but it's too late, the black knights screams are heard which means they have seen them. 

 So they take their sword and run up to the watchtower.  But it's doesn't take long until the black knights come and throws away Sam, Merry, Pippin and Grace into the ground and Frodo is stabbed by one of them. But thankfully the Strider comes and saves them and makes the black knights go away.  Grace runs up to Frodo because she sees he's in a lot of pain. "It's gonna be alright Frodo" Finally when the knights are gone, Strider Comes up to Frodo and Grace. "Help him Strider" Grace tells him.  Strider takes up the blade and sighes "He's been stabbed by a morgul blade. This is beyond my skill to heal. He needs elvish medicine" Strider carry Frodo into his arms and they leave. 

They run but the Nazgul are still behind them.  "We're six days away from Rivendell, he will never make it" Sam tells Strider.  Strider sighes "Hold on Frodo" They are now in  the woods because Frodo is getting worse and Grace can't bear seeing Frodo like this.  Strider turns to Sam "Do you know Kingfoil?" "Yes but it's a weed"  "It might slow down the poision, hurry!" and Sam gets more into the woods to find it.  Strider also looks for it and finds it but suddenly he feels a knife to this throat "What's this, A ranger caught off his guard?"  He knows the voice so he just says "Galadhien"  She smiles and pulls the knife away from his throat so he can stand up and look at her. "Hello dear friend"  Galadhien smiles.  

Galadhien walks up to Frodo "Frodo. I'm Galadhien. I'm here to help. Hear my voice and come back to the light" But Frodo just grunts and closes his eyes.  Grace smiles with tears in her eyes "She's an elf"  Galadhien sighes "He's fading. He's not going to last, we must get him to my father" Strider helps her to pull Frodo on her horse. 

 "I've been looking for you for two days. Arwen sent me to find you.  You have five wraiths behind you, where the other fours are i don't know"  Strider turns to look at her "Stay with the hobbits , i'll send horses for you" Galadhien smiles "I'm a faster rider i'll take him"  He shakes his head "The road is too dangerous" She smiles at him "If i can get across the river the power of my people will protect him"  Galadhien smiles "You're like a brother to me and i do not fear them" Strider takes her hand and squeezes it "Be careful, i don't want your father to kill me"  Galadhien smiles and nods. She gets up on the horse with Frodo sitting in front of her.  Strider looks at her "Galadhien. Ride hard, don't look back" and Galadhien starts riding as fast as she can.  

"What are you doing? Those wraiths are still out there!" Sam shouts at the Strider but he doesn't say anything because he trusts Galadhien, he trusts her with his life and Frodo's. He knows she can save him.
