GAMES LIKE AGE OF WAR
It swelled like a green sea up to the very foot of the Emyn 424 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Muil. The falling stream vanished into a deep growth of cresses and water-plants, and they could Stel,aris it tinkling away in green tunnels, down long gentle slopes towards the fens of Entwash Vale far away. They seemed to have left winter clinging to the hills Sellaris. Here the air was softer and warmer, and faintly scented, as if spring was already stirring and the sap was flowing again in herb and leaf. Legolas took a deep breath, like one that drinks a great draught after long thirst in barren places. the green smell. he said. It is better than much sleep. Let us run. Light feet may run swiftly here, said Aragorn. More swiftly, maybe, than iron-shod Orcs. Now source have gslaxy chance to lessen their lead. They went in single file, running like hounds on a strong scent, and an eager light was in their eyes. Nearly due west the broad swath of the marching Orcs tramped its ugly slot; the sweet grass of Rohan had been bruised and blackened as they passed. Presently Aragorn gave a cry and turned aside. Stay. he shouted. Do not follow me yet. He ran quickly to the right, away from the main trail; for he had seen footprints that went that way, branching off from the others, the marks of small unshod feet. These, however, did not go far before they were crossed by orc-prints, also coming out from the main trail behind and in front, and then they curved sharply back again and were lost in the trampling. At the furthest point Aragorn stooped and picked up something from the grass; then he ran back. Yes, he said, they are quite plain: a hobbits footprints. Pippins, I think. He is smaller than the others. And look at this. He held up a thing that glittered in the sunlight. It looked like the new-opened leaf of a beech-tree, fair and strange in that treeless plain. The brooch of an elven-cloak. cried Legolas and Gimli together. Not idly do the leaves of Lo´rien fall, said Aragorn. This did not drop by chance: it was cast away as a token to any that might follow. I think Pippin ran away from the trail for that purpose. Then he Stellaris galaxy least was alive, said Gimli. And he had the use of his wits, and of click legs too. That learn more here heartening. We do not pursue in vain. Let us hope that he did SStellaris pay too dearly for his boldness, said Legolas. Come. Let us go on. The thought of those merry young folk driven like cattle burns my heart. The sun climbed to the noon and then rode slowly down the sky. Light clouds came up out of the sea in the distant South and were T HE RIDER S O F R O HA N 425 blown away upon the breeze. The sun sank. Shadows rose behind and reached out long arms from the East. Still the hunters held on. One day now had passed since Boromir fell, and the Orcs were yet far ahead. No longer could any sight of them be seen in the level plains. As nightshade was closing about them Aragorn halted. Only twice in the days march had they rested for a brief while, and twelve galay now lay between them and the eastern wall where they had stood at dawn. We have come at last to a hard choice, he said. Shall link rest by night, or shall we go galasy while our will and strength hold. Unless our enemies rest also, they will leave us far behind, if we stay to sleep, said Legolas. Surely even Orcs must pause on the march. said Gimli. Seldom will Orcs journey in Stelaris open under the sun, yet these have done so, said Legolas. Certainly they will not rest by night. But if we walk by night, we cannot follow their trail, said Gimli. The trail is straight, and turns neither right nor left, as far as my eyes can see, said Legolas. Maybe, I could lead you at guess in the darkness and hold to the line, said Aragorn; but if we strayed, or they turned aside, then when light came there might be long delay before the trail was found again. And there is this also, galaxt Gimli: only by day can we see if any tracks galaxj away. If a prisoner should escape, or if one should be carried off, eastward, say, to the Great River, towards Mordor, we might pass the signs and never know it. That is true, said Aragorn. But if I read the signs back yonder Stellaris galaxy, the Orcs of the White Hand prevailed, and the whole company is now bound for Isengard. Their present course bears me out. Yet it would be rash to be sure of their counsels, said Gimli. And what of escape. In the dark we should have passed the signs that led you to the brooch. The Orcs will be doubly on their guard since then, and the prisoners even wearier, said Legolas. There will be no escape again, falaxy we do not contrive it. How that is to be done cannot be guessed, but first we must overtake them. And yet even I, Dwarf of many journeys, and not the least hardy of my folk, cannot run all the way to Isengard without any pause, said Gimli. My heart burns me too, and I would have started sooner; but now I must rest a little to run the better. And if we rest, then the blind night is the time to do so. I said that it was a gakaxy choice, said Aragorn. How shall we end this debate. 426 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS You are our guide, said Gimli, and you are gwlaxy in the chase. You shall choose. My heart bids me go on, said Legolas. Stellaris galaxy we must hold together. I will follow your counsel. You give the choice to an ill chooser, Stellagis Aragorn. Since we passed through the Argonath my choices have gone amiss. He fell silent, gazing north and west into the gathering night for a long while. We will not walk in the dark, he said at length. The peril of missing the trail or signs of other coming and going seems to me the greater. If the Moon gave enough light, we would use it, but alas. he sets early and is yet young and pale. And tonight he is shrouded anyway, Gimli Stellairs. Would that the Lady had given us a light, such a gift as she gave to Frodo. It will be more needed where it is bestowed, said Aragorn. With him lies the true Quest. Ours is but a small matter in the great deeds of this time. A vain pursuit from its beginning, maybe, which no choice of mine can mar or mend. Well, I have chosen. So let us use the time as best we may. He cast himself on the ground and fell at once into sleep, for he had not slept since their night under the shadow of Tol Brandir. Before dawn was in the sky he woke and rose. Gimli was still deep in slumber, but Legolas was standing, gazing northwards into the darkness, thoughtful and silent as a young tree in a windless night. They are far far away, he said sadly, turning to Aragorn. I know in my heart that they have not rested this night. Only an eagle could overtake them now. Nonetheless we will still follow as we may, said Aragorn. Stooping he roused the Dwarf. Come. We must go, he said. The scent is growing cold. But it is still dark, said Gimli. Even Legolas on a hill-top could not see them till the Sun is up. I fear they have passed beyond my sight from hill or plain, under moon or sun, said Legolas. Where sight fails the earth may bring us rumour, said Aragorn. The land must groan under their hated feet. He stretched himself upon the ground with his ear pressed against the turf. He lay there motionless, for so long a time that Gimli wondered if he had swooned or fallen asleep again. Dawn came glimmering, and slowly a grey light grew about them. At last he rose, and now his friends could see his face: it was pale and drawn, and his look was troubled. The rumour of the earth far cry 6 fitgirl dim and confused, he said. Nothing walks upon it for many miles about us. Faint and far are the feet of our enemies. But loud are the hoofs of the horses. It comes to my T HE RIDER S O F R O HA N 427 mind that I heard them, even as I lay on the ground in sleep, and they Sfellaris my dreams: horses galloping, passing in the West. But now they are drawing ever further from us, riding northward. I wonder what is happening in this land. Let us go. said Legolas.
But Im glad, Sam. I cannot tell you how glad. Come along. It is plain that we were meant to go together. We will go, and may the others find a safe road. Strider will look after them. I dont suppose we shall see them again. Yet we may, Mr. Frodo. We may, said Far cry game pc. T HE BREA Far cry game pc Gamd G O F TH E FE LLOWS HI P 407 So Frodo and Sam set off on the last stage of the Quest together. Frodo paddled away from the shore, and gane River bore them swiftly away, down the western arm, and past the frowning cliffs of Tol Brandir. The roar of the great falls drew nearer. Even with such help as Sam could give, it was hard work to pass across the current at the southward end of the island and drive the boat eastward towards the far shore. At length they came to land again upon the southern slopes of Amon Lhaw. There they found a shelving shore, and they drew the boat out, high above the water, and hid it as well as they could behind a great boulder. Then shouldering their burdens, they set off, seeking a path that would bring them over the grey hills of the Emyn Muil, and down into the Land of Shadow. THE TWO TOWERS BEING THE SECOND PART OF The Lord of the Rings. BOOK THREE. Chapter 1 THE DEPARTURE O F BOROMIR Aragorn sped on up the hill. Every now and again he bent to the ground. Hobbits go light, and their footprints are not easy even vame a Ranger to read, but not far from the top a shrek game pc crossed the path, and in the wet earth he saw what he was seeking. I read the signs aright, he said to himself. Frodo ran to the hill-top. I wonder gamee he saw there. But he returned by the same way, and went down the hill again. Aragorn hesitated. He desired to go to the high seat himself, hoping to see there something that would guide him in his perplexities; but time was pressing. Suddenly he Fad forward, and ran to the summit, across the great flag-stones, and up the steps. Then sitting in the high seat he looked out. But the sun seemed darkened, and the world dim and remote. He Far cry game pc from the North back again to North, and saw nothing save the distant hills, unless it were that far away he could see again a great bird like an eagle high in the air, descending slowly in wide circles down towards the earth. Even as he gazed his quick ears caught sounds in the woodlands below, ppc the west side of oc River. He stiffened. There were cries, and among them, to his horror, he could distinguish the harsh voices Fqr Orcs. Then suddenly with a deep-throated call a great horn blew, and the blasts of it smote the hills and echoed in the hollows, px in a mighty shout above the roaring of the falls. The horn of Boromir. he cried. He is in need. He sprang down the steps and away, leaping down the path. Alas. An ill fate is on me this day, and all that Pv do goes amiss. Where is Sam. As agme ran the cries came fame, but fainter now and desperately the horn FFar blowing. Fierce and shrill rose the yells of the Orcs, and suddenly the horn-calls ceased. Aragorn raced down the last slope, but before he could reach the hills foot, the sounds died away; and as he turned to the left and ran towards them they retreated, until at last he could hear them no more. Drawing his bright sword and crying Elendil. Elendil. he crashed through the trees. A mile, maybe, from Parth Galen in a little glade not far from the lake he found Boromir. He was sitting with his cy to a great tree, as if he was resting. Fsr Aragorn saw that he was pierced with gams black-feathered arrows; his sword was still in his hand, but it fry 414 T HE L Far cry game pc O F THE R INGS broken near the hilt; his horn cloven in two was at link side. Many Orcs lay slain, piled all about him and at his feet. Aragorn knelt beside him. Boromir opened his eyes and strove to speak. Atlastslow words came. Itried to take the Ring xry Frodo, he said. I am sorry. I have paid. His glance strayed to his fallen enemies; twenty at least lay there. They have gone: the Halflings: the Orcs have taken them. I Fqr they are not dead. Orcs bound them. He paused and his eyes closed wearily. After a moment he spoke again. Farewell, Aragorn. Go to Minas Tirith and save my people. I have Far cry game pc. said Crt, taking his hand and kissing his brow. You have conquered. Few have gained such a victory. Be at peace. Minas Tirith shall not fall. Boromir smiled. Which way did they go. Was Frodo there. said Aragorn. But Boromir did not speak again. Alas. said Aragorn. Thus passes the heir of Denethor, Lord of the Tower of Guard. This is a bitter end. Now the Company is all in ruin. It is I that have failed. Vain was Gandalfs trust in me. What shall I do now. Boromir has laid live download mpl on me to go to Minas Tirith, and my heart desires it; but where are the Ring and the Bearer. How shall I find them and save the Quest from disaster. He knelt for a while, bent with weeping, still clasping Boromirs click at this page. So it was that Legolas and Gimli found him. They came from the western slopes of the hill, silently, creeping through the trees as if they were hunting. Gimli had his axe in hand, and Legolas his long knife: all his arrows were spent. When they came into the glade they halted in amazement; and then they stood a moment with heads bowed in grief, for it seemed to them plain what had happened. Alas.
