We began our long and dark walkthrough great caverns. We crossed over narrow bridges and through disused mines. Abandoned ladders, and chains scattered everywhere. Gandalf stops ahead as he notices silvery white lines in the rock face and gently touches them. "The wealth of Moria is not in gold or jewels, but Mithril." He says shining his staff into the cavern below, causing everyone to down in awe."Bilbo had a shirt of mithril rings that Thorin gave him."

"Aww that was a Kingly gift"

"Yes. I never told him, but it's worth was greater than the value of the Shire!" I slightly saw Frodo's reaction. He was in great awe/

We continue to climb up some very steep steps, and pippin slips on them, only to be caught my Merry, "Pippin!"

At the top of the long and steep staircase, we came upon a stop that held three doorways. Mithrandir looked at the three but confusion swept his face almost immediately," I've no memory of this place."

With nowhere else to go and not wanting to risk to take the wrong path, our group decided to make a stop to rest while Mithrandir, smoking his pipe, tries to decide which way to go.

"Are we lost?" pippins voice asks in a whisper to Merry.

"No," Merry replied sternly.

"I think we are." Pippin just doesn't know when to stop, does he?

"Ssh! Gandalf's thinking." Sam said probably think the same as I

"Merry!"

"What!"

"I'm hungry."

I slightly sighed at their conversation. I noticed Estel sitting off to the side, so i decided to actually get the chance to speak with the boy I knew since a child.

"Na vedui Estel." I sight kindly taking a seat beside him. At last Estel.

"A here I thought you were ignoring me." He said with a slight smirk

"I daer Estel?" I replied is a humorous tone. The great Estel.

"It has been long Ithilethiel. I have not seen you in a few years, but yet your mind still focuses on my safety."

"And it will always, you are my hope, and always will be."

"Hope to the Elves..."

"Hope to everyone." I grabbed his hand and placed it in mine." Even yourself." We sat in a comfortable silence

"Oh, it's that way!" A hopeful voice cried out causing everyone to turn and make their way back to Mithrandir. Estel got up before me and gave me his hand.

"He's remembered," Merry said excitingly

"No, but the air doesn't smell so foul down here. If in doubt, Meriadoc, always follows your nose."

Mithrandir led the way through the pathway. It is long and dark even with the light from Mithrandirs' staff. We finally came to the end of the passageway into a great cavern with many columns arising from the floor all the way to the ceiling.

"Let me risk a little more light. Behold the great realm and dwarf city of Dwarrowdelf."

The cavern was revealed, and columns were stretched as far as the eye can see.

"There's an eye-opener and no mistake," Sam said amazed. I slightly smiled at his amazement.

We begin to walk through the large underground city until suddenly Gimli spots a room in front of us and runs towards it
