Something So Beautiful{Word Count:1273}
The Fellowship cross a precarious bridge above deep mine workings. " Quietly, now. It's a four day journey to the other side. Let us hope that our presence will go unnoticed." The wizard whispered
" With the dwarfs stench we won't ." Tari joked but Gimli just grunted in protest she earned yet another glare from the wizard. They enter a chamber with old ropes and ancient ladders, Gandalf began to touch a shiny substance on the wall.
"The wealth of Moria was not in gold or jewels but mithril." The wizards says as he holds his staff over the expansive drop beside them, they all look down.
The endless depth of the mine. A faint blue glow issues from its depths. Tari couldn't help but think it looked abandoned, but she kept quiet and The Fellowship continues onward.
Gandalf continued to speak to whoever was listening. " Bilbo had a shirt of mithril rings that Thorin gave him." The dwarf gasps and looks at the wizard, his mouth slowly agape. But you could barely tell from the mustache that sat on his upper lip.
"Oh, that was a kingly gift." Gandalf nods and sneaks a look at Frodo then back to Gimli with one eyebrow raised and a smile on his face. It was one Tari and her siblings had yet to receive. " Yes. I never told him, but its worth was greater than the value of the Shire." The four hobbits eyes widen.
The Fellowship continue in silence, until they reach a fork in the tunnel. The path splits into three passages each disappearing into dark tunnel. The grey wizard pauses, his face forming a frown.
"I have no memory of this place." Gandalf says placing himself down on a rock, leaving the rest to set up camp for however long it takes him to remember.
They are nervously waiting while Gandalf sits, staring intently at the 3 tunnel mouths in front of him. He appears to be in some kind of trance, Tari turns at sound of Pippins voice beside her.
" Are we lost?"
" No, I don't think we are. Shh, Gandalf's thinking." Merry reply's as Tari laughs at the two, they were by far her favorites from the Fellowship -Besides her brothers of course.
" Merry!" Pippin whisper yelled
" What?!"
" I'm hungry."
Tari laughed at the two once again. " It may be awhile, you need to rest." They both looked at her with a smile and nod, Pippin leaned on her shoulder and Merry on his.
A few minutes later they both fell asleep, not long after Tari layed her head on Callon's shoulder and followed them.
Legolas watched the interaction from his place, and he couldn't help but think of his mother. They were so much alike, their kindness, their stubbornness, and it hurt to see her, to hear her. He couldn't get close to her, he couldn't lose the one reminder of his mother.
