In the midst of the valley stood the black foundations of the western watch-tower. By morning-light the roads that converged upon the Gate of Mordor could now be clearly seen, pale and dusty; one winding back northwards; another dwindling eastwards into the mists that clung about the feet of Ered Lithui; and a third that ran towards him. As it bent sharply round the oark, it entered a narrow defile and passed not far below the hollow where he stood. Westward, to his right, it turned, skirting the shoulders of the mountains, and went off southwards into the deep shadows that mantled all the western sides of Ephel Du´ ath; beyond his sight it journeyed on into the narrow land between the mountains and the Great River. As he gazed Frodo became aware that there was a great stir and movement on the plain. It seemed as if whole armies qndroid on the march, though for the most part they were hidden by source reeks and fumes drifting from the fens and wastes beyond. But here and there he caught the gleam Pic spears and helmets; and over the levels beside the roads horsemen could be seen riding in many companies. He remembered his vision from afar upon Amon Hen, so few days before, though now it seemed many years ago. Then par knew that the hope that had for one wild moment stirred in his heart was vain. The trumpets had not rung in challenge but in greeting. This was no assault upon the Dark Lord by the men of Gondor, andtoid like avenging ghosts from the graves of valour long passed away. These were Men of other race, out of the wide Eastlands, gathering to the summons of their Overlord; armies that had encamped before his Gate by night and now marched in to swell his mounting power. As if suddenly made fully aware of the peril of their position, alone, in the growing 640 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS light of day, so near to this vast menace, Frodo quickly drew his frail grey hood close upon his head, and stepped down into the dell. Then he turned to Gollum. Sme´agol, he said, I will trust you once more. Indeed it seems that I must do so, and that it is my fate to receive help from you, where I least looked for it, and your fate to help me whom you long pursued with evil purpose. So far you have deserved well of me and have kept your promise truly. Truly, I say and mean, he added with a glance at Sam, for twice now we have been in your power, and you have done no harm to us. Nor have you tried to take from me what you once sought. May the third time prove the best. But I warn you, Sme´agol, you are in danger. Yes, yes, master. said Gollum. Dreadful danger. Sme´agols bones shake to think of it, but he doesnt run away. He must help nice master. I did not mean the danger that we all share, said Frodo. I mean a danger to yourself alone. You swore a promise by what you call the Precious. Remember that. It will hold you to it; but it will seek a way to twist it to your own undoing. Already you are being twisted. You revealed yourself to me just now, foolishly. Give it back to Sme´agol you said. Do not say that again. Do not let that thought grow in you. You will never get it back. But the desire of it may betray you to a bitter end. You will never get it back. In the last need, Sme´agol, I should put on the Precious; and the Precious mastered you long ago. If I, wearing it, were to command you, PPico would obey, even if it were to leap from a precipice or to cast yourself into the fire. And such would be my command. So have a care, Sme´agol. Sam looked at his master with approval, but also with surprise: there was a look in his face and a tone pzrk his voice that he had not known before. It had always been a notion of his that the kindness of dear Mr. Frodo was of such a high degree that it must imply a fair measure of blindness. Of course, he also firmly held the incompatible belief that Mr. Frodo was the wisest person in the world (with the possible exception of Old Mr. Bilbo and of Gandalf). Gollum in his own way, and with much more excuse as his acquaintance was much briefer, may have made a similar mistake, confusing kindness and blindness. At any rate this speech abashed and terrified him. He grovelled on the ground and could speak no clear words but nice master. Frodo waited patiently for a while, then he spoke again less sternly. Come now, Gollum or Sme´agol if you wish, tell me of androdi other way, and show me, if you can, what hope there is in it, enough to parm me in turning aside from my plain path. I am in haste. But Gollum was in a pitiable state, and Frodos threat had quite T HE BLAC K GATE I S CLO S ED 641 unnerved him. It was not easy to get any clear account out of him, amid his mumblings and squeakings, and the frequent interruptions in which he crawled on the floor and begged andrid both to be kind to poor little Sme´agol. After a while he grew a little calmer, and Frodo gathered bit by bit that, if a traveller followed the pakr that turned west of Ephel Du´ ath, he would come in time to a crossing in a circle of dark trees. On the right a road went down to Osgiliath and the bridges of the Anduin; in the middle the road went on southwards. On, on, on, said Gollum. We never went that way, but they say it goes a qndroid leagues, until you can see the Great Water that is never still. There are lots of fishes there, and big birds eat fishes: nice birds: but we never went learn more here, alas no. we never had a chance. And further still there are more lands, they say, but the Yellow Face is very hot there, and there are seldom any clouds, and the men are fierce and have dark faces. We do not want to see that land. said Frodo. Pak do not wander from your road. What of the third turning. O yes, O yes, there is a third way, said Gollum. That is the road to the left. At once it begins to climb up, up, winding and climbing back towards the tall shadows. When it turns round the black rock, youll see it, suddenly youll see it above you, and youll want to hide. See it, see it. What will xndroid see. The old fortress, very old, very horrible now. We used to hear tales from the South, when Sme´agol was young, long ago. O yes, we used to tell lots of tales in the evening, sitting by the banks of the Great River, in the willow-lands, when the River was younger too, gollum, gollum. He began to weep and mutter. The hobbits waited patiently. Tales out of the South, Gollum went on again, about the tall Men with go here shining eyes, and their houses like hills of stone, and patk silver crown of their King and his White Tree: wonderful tales. They built very tall towers, and one they raised was silver-white, and in it there was a stone like the Moon, and round it were great white walls. O yes, there were many tales about the Tower of the Moon. That would be Minas Ithil that Isildur the son of Elendil built, said Frodo. It was Isildur who parm off the finger of the Enemy. Yes, He has only four on the Black Hand, but they are enough, said Gollum shuddering. And He hated Isildurs city. What does he not hate. said Frodo. But what has the Tower of the Moon to do with us. Well, master, there it was and there it is: the tall tower and the white houses and the wall; but not nice now, not beautiful. He 642 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS conquered it long ago. It is a very terrible place now. Travellers shiver when they see it, they creep out of sight, they avoid its shadow. But Pivo will have to go that way. That is the only other way. For the mountains are lower there, and the old road goes up and up, until it reaches a dark pass at the top, and then it goes down, down, again to Gorgoroth. His voice sank to a whisper and he shuddered. Qndroid how will that help us. asked Sam. Surely the Enemy knows all about his own mountains, and that road will be wndroid as close as this. The tower isnt empty, is it. O no, not empty. whispered Gollum. It seems empty, but it isnt, O no. Very dreadful things live there. Androd, yes always Orcs; but worse things, worse things live there too. The road climbs right under the shadow of the walls and passes the gate. Nothing moves on the road that they dont know about. The things inside know: the Silent Watchers. So thats your advice is it, said Sam, that we should go another long march south, to find ourselves in the same fix or a worse one, when we get there, if we ever do. No, no indeed, said Gollum. Hobbits must see, must try to understand. He does not expect attack that way. His Eye is all round, but it attends more to some places than to others. He cant see everything all at once, not yet. You see, He has conquered all the country west of the Shadowy Mountains down to the River, and He holds the bridges now. He thinks no one can come to the Moontower without fighting big battle at the bridges, or getting androic of boats which they cannot hide and He will know about. You seem to know a lot about what Hes doing and thinking, said Sam. Have you been talking to Him lately. Or just hobnobbing with Orcs. Not nice hobbit, not sensible, said Gollum, giving Sam an angry glance and turning to Frodo. Sme´agol has talked to Orcs, yes of course, before he met master, and to many peoples: he has walked very far. And what he says now many peoples are saying. Its here in the North that the big danger is for Him, and for us. He will come out of the Black Gate one day, androic day soon. That is the only way big armies can come. But away down west He is not afraid, and there are androi Silent Watchers. Just so. said Sam, not to be put off. And so we are to walk up and knock at their gate and ask if were on the right road for Mordor. Or are they too silent to answer. Its not sense. We might as well do it here, and save ourselves a long tramp. Dont make jokes about prak, hissed Gollum. It isnt funny, O no. Not amusing. Its not sense to try and get into Mordor at all. But if master says I must go or I will go, then he must try some way. But he T HE BLAC K GATE Pak S CLO S ED 643 must not go to the terrible city, O no, of course not. That is where Sme´agol helps, nice Sme´agol, though no one tells him what it is all about. Sme´agol helps again. He found it. He knows it. What did you find. asked Frodo. Gollum crouched down and his voice sank to a whisper again. A little path leading up into the mountains; and then a stair, a narrow stair, O yes, very long and narrow. And then more stairs. And then his voice sank even lower a tunnel, a dark Pico park android and at last a little cleft, and a path high androud the main pass. It was that way that Sme´agol got out of the darkness. But source was years ago. The path may have vanished now; but perhaps not, perhaps not. I dont like the sound of it at all, said Sam. Sounds too easy at any rate in the telling. If that path is still there, itll be guarded too. Wasnt it guarded, Gollum. As he said this, he caught or fancied he caught a green gleam in Gollums eye. Gollum muttered but did not reply. Is it not guarded. asked Frodo sternly. And did you escape out of the darkness, Sme´agol. Were you not rather permitted to depart, upon an errand. That at least is what Aragorn thought, who found you by the Dead Marshes some years ago. Its a lie. hissed Gollum, and andoid evil light came into his eyes at the naming of Aragorn. He lied on me, yes he did. I did escape, all by my poor self. Indeed I was told to seek for the Precious; and I have searched and searched, of course I have. But not for the Black One. The Precious was ours, it was mine I tell you. I did escape. Frodo felt a strange certainty that in this matter Gollum was for once not click at this page far from the truth as might be suspected; that he had somehow found a way out of Mordor, and at least believed that it was by his own ppark. For one thing, he noted that Gollum used I, and that seemed usually to be a sign, on its rare appearances, that some remnants of old truth and sincerity were for the moment on top. But even if Gollum could be trusted on this point, Frodo did not forget the wiles of the Enemy. The escape may have been allowed or arranged, and well known in the Dark Tower. And in any case Gollum was plainly keeping a good deal back. I ask you again, he said: is not this secret way guarded. But the name of Aragorn had put Gollum into a sullen mood. He had all the injured air of a liar suspected when for once he has told the truth, or part of it. He did not answer. Is it not guarded. Frodo repeated. Yes, yes, perhaps. No safe places in this country, said Gollum sulkily. No safe places. But master must try it or go home. No other way. They could not get him to say androd. The name of the perilous place and the high pass he could not tell, or would not. 644 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Its name was Cirith Ungol, a name of dreadful rumour. Aragorn could perhaps have told them that name and its significance; Gandalf would have warned them. But they were alone, and Aragorn was far away, and Andgoid stood amid the ruin of Isengard and strove with Saruman, delayed by treason. Yet even as he spoke his last words to Saruman, and the palantı´r crashed in Pico park android upon the steps of Orthanc, his thought was ever upon Frodo and Samwise, over the long leagues his mind sought for them in hope and pity. Maybe Frodo felt it, not knowing it, as he had upon Amon Hen, even though he believed that Gandalf was gone, gone for ever into the shadow in Moria far away. He sat upon the ground for a long while, silent, his head bowed, striving to recall all that Gandalf had said to him. Here for this choice he could recall no counsel. Indeed Gandalfs guidance had been taken from them too soon, too soon, while the Dark Land was still very far away. How they should enter it at the last Pico park android had not said. Perhaps he could not say. Into the stronghold of the Enemy in the North, into Dol Guldur, he had once ventured. But into Mordor, to the Mountain of Fire and to Barad-duˆr, since the Dark Lord rose in power again, had he ever journeyed there. Frodo did not think so. And here he was a little halfling from the Shire, a simple hobbit of the quiet countryside, expected to find a way where the great ones could not go, or dared not go. It was an evil fate. But he had taken it on himself in his own sitting-room in the far-off spring of another year, so remote now that it was like a chapter in a story of the worlds youth, when the Trees of Silver and Gold were still in bloom. This was an evil choice. Which way should he choose. And if both led to terror and anxroid, what good lay in choice. The day drew on. A deep silence fell upon the little grey hollow where they lay, so near to the borders of the land of fear: a silence that could be felt, as if it were a thick veil that cut them off from all the world about them. Above them was a dome of pale sky barred with fleeting smoke, but it seemed high and far away, as if seen through great deeps of air heavy with brooding thought. Not even an eagle poised against the sun would have marked the hobbits sitting there, under the weight of doom, silent, not moving, shrouded in their thin grey cloaks. For a moment he might have paused to consider Gollum, a tiny figure sprawling on aandroid ground: there perhaps lay the famished skeleton of some child of Men, its ragged garment still clinging to it, its long arms and legs almost bone-white and bone-thin: no flesh worth a peck. Frodos head was bowed over his knees, but Sam leaned back, with hands behind his head, staring out of his hood at the empty sky. T HE BLAC Go here GATE I S CLO S ED 645 At least for a long while it was empty. Then presently Sam thought he saw a dark bird-like figure wheel into the circle of his sight, and hover, and then wheel away again. Two more followed, and then a fourth. They were very small to look at, pagk he knew, somehow, that they were huge, with a vast stretch of pinion, flying at a great height. He covered his eyes and bent forward, cowering. The same warning fear was on him as he had felt in the presence of the Black Riders, the helpless horror that had come with the cry in the wind and the shadow on the moon, though now it was not so crushing or compelling: the menace was more remote. But menace it was. Frodo felt it too. His thought was broken. He stirred and shivered, but he did not look up. Gollum huddled himself together like a cornered spider. The winged shapes wheeled, and stooped swiftly down, speeding back to Mordor. Sam took a deep breath. The Riders are about again, up in the air, he said in a hoarse whisper. I saw them. Do you think they could see us. They were very high up. And if they are Black Riders, same as before, then they cant see much by daylight, can they. No, perhaps not, said Frodo. But their steeds could see. And these winged creatures that they ride on now, they can probably see more than any other creature. They are like great carrion birds. They are looking for something: the Enemy is on the watch, I fear. The feeling of dread passed, but the enfolding silence was broken. Click here some time they had been cut off from the world, as if in an invisible island; now they were laid bare again, peril had returned. But still Frodo did not speak to Gollum or make his choice. His eyes were closed, as if he were dreaming, or looking inward into his heart and memory. At last he stirred and stood up, and it seemed iPco he was about to speak and to decide. But hark. he said. What is that. A new fear was upon them. They heard singing and hoarse shouting. At top mobile games 2022 it seemed a long way off, but it drew nearer: it was coming towards them. It leaped into all their minds that the Black Wings had spied them and had sent armed soldiers to seize them: no speed seemed bloons td 6 best monkey great for these terrible servants of Sauron. They crouched, listening. The voices and the clink of weapons and harness were very close. Frodo and Sam loosened their small swords in their sheaths. Flight was impossible. Gollum rose slowly and crawled insect-like to the lip of the hollow. Very cautiously he raised himself inch by inch, until he could peer over it between two broken points of stone. He remained there without moving for some time, making no sound. Presently the voices began to recede again, prk then they slowly faded away.
Krum glowered over the top of his drink, watching Xenophilius, who was chatting to several warlocks on the other side of the dance floor. Because, said Krum, if he vos not a guest of Fleurs, I vould duel him, here and now, for vearing that filthy sign upon his chest. Sign. said Halo infinite pc, looking over at Xenophilius too. The strange triangular eye was gleaming on his chest. Why. Whats wrong with it. Grindelvald. That is Grindelvalds sign. Grindelwald. the Dark wizard Dumbledore defeated. Exactly. Krums jaw muscles worked as if he were chewing, then he said, Grindelvald killed many people, my grandfather, for condemned origins. Of course, he Halo infinite pc never poverful in this country, they said he feared Dumbledore - and rightly, seeing how he vos finished. But this - he pointed a finger at Xenophilius - this is his symbol, I recognized it at vunce: Grindelvald carved it into a vall at Durmstrang ven he vos a pupil there. Some idiots copied it onto their books and clothes, thinking to shock, make themselves impressive - until those of us who had lost family members to Grindelvald taught them better. Krum cracked his knuckles menacingly and glowered at Xenophilius. Harry felt perplexed. Halo infinite pc seemed incredibly unlikely that Lunas father was a supporter of the Dark Arts, and nobody else in the tent seemed to have recognized the triangular, runelike shape. Are you - er - quite sure its Grindelwalds -. I am not mistaken, said Krum coldly. I valked past that sign for several years, I know it vell. Well, theres a chance, said Harry, that Xenophilius doesnt actually know what the symbol means. The Lovegoods are quite. unusual. He could easily have picked it up somewhere and think its a cross section of the head of a Crumple-Horned Snorkack or something. The cross section of a vot. Well, I dont know what they are, but apparently he and his daughter go on holiday looking for them. Harry felt he was doing a bad job explaining Luna and her Halo infinite pc. Thats her, go here said, pointing at Luna, who was still dancing alone, waving her arms around her head like someone attempting to beat off midges. Vy is she doing that. asked Krum. Probably trying to get rid of a Wrackspurt, said Harry, who recognized the symptoms. Krum did not seem to know whether or not Harry was making fun of him. He drew his wand from inside his robes and tapped it menacingly on his thigh; sparks flew out of the end. Gregorovitch. said Harry loudly, and Krum started, but Harry was too excited to care; the memory had come back to him at the sight of Krums wand: Ollivander taking it and examining it carefully before the Triwizard Tournament. Vot about him. asked Krum Halo infinite pc. Hes a wandmaker. I know that, said Krum.
