A tall elderly man dressed in white robes slowly approached Merry and Pippin and me. The man was carrying a large staff in his right hand.
A bright white light illuminated behind him. "Who are you? What do you want with us?" I demanded.
The old man raised his hand. "Do you not remember who I am?"
"No."
The man took one more step. His face became more visible. He looked familiar. His voice sounded familiar.
"G-G-Gandalf?" stuttered Pippin. "You're alive?"
"Yes. I am, young Peregrin."
"B-But, how, Gandalf? We thought you were dead. When we were in Moria, you fell!"
"From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak, I fought him, the Balrog of Morgoth. Darkness took me. And I strayed out of thought and time. But, it was not the end. I felt life in me again. I was once known as Gandalf the Grey. Now, I return to you as Gandalf the White."
"How did you manage to find us?" asked Merry, in bewilderment.
"Never underestimate the powers of a wizard, young Meriadoc. We are smarter and wiser than we look."
"Why are you here, Gandalf?" I asked him, curiously.
"I have some important matters that must be discussed. Most of them concern you, my dear, Brianna."
I turned around and looked at Merry and Pippin with a worried expression on my face. Then, I fixed my gaze back on Gandalf.
"What about me? What happened?"
"You were taken hostage by a band of Uruk-Hai, am I correct?"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"An Uruk-Hai, by the name of Uglúk, told Saruman that he saw a young human girl alongside two halflings. Saruman warned Uglúk that you were the child of the halfling that bears the Ring of Power. So, Saruman has sent all of his spies after you. They are coming for you, Brianna. You must be very careful."
