-----------------------

I entered through the same door that had welcomed me in past years, and I waited until Frodo was here to find the one ring. I couldn't simply snoop in his things. I heard chuckling outside the hole, and finally, the hobbit entered his house. I knew he had sensed something was wrong the second he stepped in, and I didn't want to scare him either, but...

"Frodo." I said and he turned around, petrified as he looked at me up and down. "Is it safe?" I asked, Frodo nodded slowly and went to look in a box, I used my magic to light candles and the fireplace, letting him look better while searching. As soon as Frodo found the envelope, I snatched it from his grasp and threw it to the fire. "What are you doing?" I didn't answer, the only thing I did was stare at the ring.

The door opened again, I knew it was Gandalf, who had quickly come to our side. I looked at the wizard and then at Frodo while I lifted the ring with my magic. "Hold out your hand Frodo." Said Gandalf, I let the ring on the hobbit's hand. "What can you see? Can you see anything?"

Frodo shook his head. "Nothing. There's nothing." I knew Gandalf had relieved a bit, until. "Wait. There are markings. It's some form of Elvish. I can't read it." I stood up and looked at the hobbit. "There are few who can. The language is that of Mordor, which none of us will utter here."
