Ardo said "That was quite the story but why did you tell me this?" Gandalf smiled and said"Why you ask? because I seek your help on this adventure as you have always wanted to go on adventures since you were a little one and you need to carry on the bagins tradition of going on adventures Ha Ha just like Bilbo and Frodo. "Ardo smiled and ran to Gandalf arms wide he gave him a hug and said" So when do we start" Gandalf replied"First we train you need to be ready so we will travel to dwarves in the lonely mountains in seek of help armour and training as for weapons I have Frodos sword (sting) here and for a bow legola's old bow that he gave frodo after the war on the ring. "

Gandalf pulled an old rag off what seemed to be sting, to show a silver, shiny blade sharp to the end covered in high elvish writing. Walking and laughing Gandalf and Ardo walked out of the bagins ressidance and towards two black elegant horses. As you may be thinking Ardo is hobbit and can not fit on a horse but Ardo was one of the tallest hobbit just meeting a dwarfs height if you put some shoes and a beard on him you might just mistake him for a dwarf. Ardo grabbed a bit of the horses saddle and swung himself onto the back of it. He asked Gandalf " Has the horse got a name?" Gandalf replied "No" Thinking carefully Ardo stated "Then I will call you Edhellen, it means fast in elvish" Ardo had known a bit of elvish as his father taught him it before he died as he had learned it from his farther all up to how Frodo had originally learnt it from his uncle Bilbo but it was only a bit not a lot of elvish. Trotting into the distance the young hobbit and the old wizard set off to the lonely mountains.

First they passed through hobbit lands these were fair and respectable lands with inns around each corner then they passed through dark lands with a rare Inn about and then they passed through dark forests of which once held spiders and illusions but since the fading of the darkness that was now only temperary since news of Saurons return the forests where better and easier to pass through but still held dangers like everywhere else. Until finally they were at the lonely mountains. The mountain's peak reached above the clouds towering over all near it looking down on you as though its taunting you for being smaller than it. Carved inside the mountain was two dwarven statues made from pure emerald and standing by the emerald gates to the great mines and luxuries of the dwarves city which dwelled inside the mountain.

Hopping of his horse gandalf approached the emerald gates which had since been repaired. About to ask to come in he thought about the battle for the exact mountain he stood in the face off. Gandalf shouted "WE WISH TO COME IN" The dwarf gate guard replied saying "Who's asking" Gandalf stated "Gandalf the white and The great great great great great great great great great grand nephew of the hero bilbo baggins." The tall emerald gates swung open and Ardo and Gandalf walked into the mountains to be greeted by the sound of metal clashing against rocks and the welcoming of a great many dwarves.
