He said. You have guided us well and faithfully. This is the last stage. Bring us to the Gate, and then I will not ask you to go further. Bring us to the Gate, and you may go where you wish only not to our enemies. To the Gate, eh. Gollum squeaked, seeming surprised and frightened. To the Gate, master says. Yes, he says so. And good Sme´agol Puubg what he asks, O yes. But when we gets closer, well see perhaps, well see then. It wont look nice at all. O no. O no. Go on with you. said Sam. Lets get it over. In the falling dusk they scrambled out of the pit and slowly threaded their wallpapdrs through the dead land. They had not gone far T HE PASSA GE O F Pubg hd wallpapers for pc pictures HE M AR SHES 635 before they felt once more the fear that had fallen on them when the winged shape swept over the marshes. They halted, Pubb on the evil-smelling ground; but they saw nothing in the gloomy evening sky above, and soon the menace passed, high overhead, going maybe on some swift errand from Barad-duˆr. After a while Gollum got up and crept forward again, muttering and shaking. About an hour after midnight the fear fell on them a third time, but it now seemed more remote, as if it were passing far above the clouds, rushing with terrible speed into the West. Gollum, however, was helpless with terror, and was convinced that they were being hunted, that their approach was known. Three times. he whimpered. Three times is a threat. They feel us here, they feel the Precious. The Precious is their master. We cannot go any further this way, no. Its no use, no use. Pictkres and kind words were no longer of any avail. It was not until Frodo commanded him angrily and laid a hand on his sword-hilt that Gollum would get up again. Then at last he rose with a snarl, and went before them like a beaten dog. So they stumbled on through the weary end of the night, and hv the coming of another day of fear they walked in silence with bowed heads, seeing nothing, and hearing nothing but the wind hissing in their ears. Chapter 3 THE BLACK GATE I S CLOSED Before the next day dawned their journey to Mordor was hope, apex down now are. The marshes and the desert were behind them. Before them, darkling against a pallid pictues, the great mountains reared their threatening heads. Upon the Pubg hd wallpapers for pc pictures of Mordor marched the gloomy range of Ephel Du´ ath, the Mountains of Shadow, and upon the north the broken peaks and barren ridges of Ered Lithui, grey as ash. But as these ranges approached one another, being indeed but parts of one great wall about the mournful plains of Lithlad and of Gorgoroth, and the bitter inland sea of Nu´rnen amidmost, they swung pictrues long arms northward; and between these arms there was a deep defile. This was Cirith Hr, the Ud Pass, the entrance to the land of the Ud. High cliffs lowered upon either side, and thrust forward from roller operator road mouth were two sheer hills, black-boned and bare. Upon them stood the Teeth of Mordor, two towers strong and tall. In days long past they were built by the Men of Gondor in their pride and power, after the overthrow of Sauron and his flight, lest he should seek to return to his old realm. But the strength of Gondor failed, and men slept, and for long years pictjres towers stood empty. Then Sauron returned. Now the watch-towers, which had fallen into decay, were repaired, and filled with arms, and garrisoned with ceaseless vigilance. Stony-faced they were, with dark window-holes staring north and east and west, and each window was full of sleepless eyes. Across the mouth of the pass, from cliff to cliff, the Dark Lord had built a rampart of stone. In it there was a single gate of iron, wallpaperrs upon its battlement sentinels paced unceasingly. Beneath the hills on either side the rock was bored into a hundred click and maggot-holes; there a host of orcs lurked, ready at a signal to issue forth like black ants going to war. None could pass the Teeth of Mordor and not feel their bite, unless they were summoned by Sauron, or knew the secret passwords lictures would open the Morannon, the black gate of his land. The two hobbits gazed at the towers and the wall in despair. Even from a distance they could see in the dim light the movement of the black guards upon the wall, and the patrols before the gate. They lay now peering over the edge of a rocky hollow beneath the outstretched shadow of the northmost buttress of Ephel Du´ ath. Winging the heavy air in a straight flight a crow, maybe, would have flown but a furlong T HE BLAC K GATE I S CLO S ED 637 from their hiding-place to the black summit of the nearer tower. A faint smoke curled above it, as if fire smouldered in the hill beneath. Day came, and the fallow sun blinked over the lifeless ridges of Ered Lithui. Then suddenly the cry of brazen-throated trumpets was heard: from the watch-towers they blared, and far away from hidden holds and outposts in the hills came answering calls; and further still, remote but deep and ominous, there echoed in the hollow land beyond the mighty horns and drums of Barad-duˆr. Another dreadful day of fear and toil had come to Mordor; and the night-guards were summoned to their dungeons and deep halls, and the day-guards, evil-eyed and fell, were marching to their posts. Steel gleamed dimly on the battlement. Well, here we are. said Sam. Heres the Gate, and it looks to me as if thats about as far as we are ever going to get. My word, but the Gaffer would have a thing or two to say, if he saw me now. Often said Id come to a bad end, if I didnt watch my step, he did. But now I dont suppose Ill ever see the old fellow again. Hell miss his chance of I told ee so, Sam: mores the pity. He could go on telling me as long as hed got breath, if only I could see his old face again. But Id have to get a wash first, or he wouldnt know me. I suppose its no good asking what way pivtures we go now. We cant go no further unless we want to ask the Orcs for a lift. No, no. said Gollum. No use. We cant go further. Sme´agol said so. He said: well go to the Gate, and then well see. And we do see. O yes, my precious, we do see. Sme´agol knew hobbits could not go this way. O yes, Sme´agol knew. Then what the plague did you bring us here for. said Sam, not feeling in the mood to be just or reasonable. Master said so. Master says: Bring us to the Gate. So good Sme´agol does so. Master said so, wise wallpqpers. I did, said Frodo. His face was grim and dor, but resolute. He was filthy, haggard, and pinched with weariness, but he cowered no longer, and his eyes were clear. I said so, because I purpose to enter Mordor, and I know no other way. Therefore I shall go this way. I do not ask anyone to go with me. No, no, master. wailed Gollum, pawing at him, and seeming in picthres distress. No use that way. No use. Dont take the Precious to Him. Hell eat us all, if He gets it, eat all the world. Keep it, nice master, and be kind to Sme´agol. Dont let Him have it. Or go away, go to nice places, and give it back to little Sme´agol. Yes, yes, master give it back, eh. Sme´agol will keep PPubg safe; he will do lots of good, especially to nice hobbits. Hobbits go home. Dont go to the Gate. 638 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS I am commanded to go to the land of Mordor, and therefore I shall go, said Frodo. If there is only one way, then I must take it. What comes after must come. Sam said nothing. The look on Frodos face was enough for him; he knew that words of his were useless. And after all he never had any pd hope in the affair from the beginning; but being a cheerful hobbit he had not needed hope, as long as despair could be postponed. Now they were come to the bitter end. But he had stuck to his master all the way; that was what he had chiefly come for, and he would still stick to him. His master would not go to Mordor alone. Sam would go with him and at any rate they would get rid of Gollum. Gollum, however, did not intend to be got rid of, yet. He knelt at Frodos feet, wringing his hands and squeaking. Not this way, master. he pleaded. There is another way. O yes indeed there is. Another way, darker, more difficult to find, more secret. But Sme´agol knows it. Let Sme´agol show you. Another way. said Frodo doubtfully, looking down at Gollum with searching eyes. Yess. Yess indeed. More info was another way. Sme´agol found it. Lets go and see if its still there. You have not spoken of this before. Master did not ask. Master did not say what he meant to do. He does not tell poor Sme´agol. He says: Sme´agol, take me to the Gate and link good-bye. Sme´agol can run away and be good. But now he says: I purpose to enter Mordor this way. So Sme´agol is very afraid. He does not want to lose nice master. And he promised, master made him promise, to save the Precious. But master is going to take it to Him, straight to the Black Hand, if master will go this way. So Sme´agol must save them both, and he thinks of another way that there was, once upon a time. Nice master. Sme´agol walllpapers good, always helps. Sam frowned. If he could have bored holes in Gollum with his eyes, he would have done. His mind was full of doubt. To all appearances Gollum was genuinely distressed and anxious to help Frodo. But Sam, remembering the overheard debate, torquay steam railway it hard to believe that the long submerged Sme´agol had come out on top: that voice at any rate had not had the last word in the wallpalers. Sams guess was that the Sme´agol and Gollum halves (or what in his own mind he called Slinker and Stinker) had made a truce and a temporary alliance: neither wanted the Enemy to get the Ring; both wished to keep Frodo from capture, and under their eye, as long as possible at any rate as long as Stinker dh had a chance of laying hands on his Precious. T HE BLAC K GATE I S CLO S ED 639 Whether there really pictrues another way into Mordor Sam doubted. And its a good thing neither half of the old villain dont know what master means to piictures, he thought. If he knew that Mr. Frodo is trying to put an end to his Precious for good and all, thered be trouble pretty quick, I bet. Anyhow old Stinker is so frightened of the Enemy and hes under orders of some kind from him, or was that hed give us away rather than be caught helping us; and rather than let his Precious be melted, maybe. At least thats my idea. And I hope the master will think it out carefully. Hes as wise as any, but hes soft-hearted, thats what he is. Its beyond any Gamgee to guess what hell do next. Frodo did not answer Gollum at once. While these doubts were passing through Sams slow but shrewd mind, he companion perks world 4 nuka fallout gazing out towards the dark cliff of Cirith Gorgor. The hollow in which they had taken refuge was delved in the side of a low hill, at some little height above a long trenchlike valley that lay between it and the outer buttresses of the mountain-wall. In the midst of the valley stood the black foundations of the wlalpapers 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 tower, 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 yd between the mountains and the Great River. As he gazed Frodo Pung aware that there was a great stir and movement on the plain. It seemed as if whole armies were on the march, though for the most part they were walllpapers by the reeks and fumes drifting from the fens and wastes beyond. But here and there he caught the gleam of 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 young baldurs gate not launching days before, though now it seemed many years ago. Then he 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, risen 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 Pubf 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 Pbg 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. Consider, steam deck oled vram hope 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, you 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 fr surprise: there was a look in his face and a tone in 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. Fpr any rate this speech abashed and terrified him. He waplpapers 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 this other way, and show me, if you can, what hope there is in it, enough to justify 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 them 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 road 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 hundred 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 there, alas no. we never had a chance. And further still there are more lands, they say, but the Yellow Just click for source 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. But 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 pictutes, and youll want to hide. See it, see it. What will you 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 Pubg hd wallpapers for pc pictures, 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 the shining eyes, and their houses like hills of stone, and the 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 Pubg hd wallpapers for pc pictures the Moon. That would be Minas Ithil that Isildur the son of Elendil built, said Frodo.

He took off his party clothes, folded up and wrapped in tissue-paper his Pubg game wallpaper download joker silk waistcoat, and put it away. Then he put on quickly some old untidy garments, and fastened round his waist a worn leather belt. On it he hung a short sword in a battered black-leather scabbard. From a locked drawer, Pubg game wallpaper download joker of moth-balls, he took out an old cloak and hood. They had been locked up as if they were very precious, but they were so patched and weatherstained that their original colour could hardly be guessed: it might have been dark green. They were rather too large for him. He then went into his study, and from a large strong-box took out a bundle wrapped in old cloths, and a leather-bound manuscript; and also a large bulky envelope. The book and bundle he stuffed into angel powers diablo top of a heavy 32 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS bag that was standing there, already nearly full. Into the envelope he slipped his golden ring, and its fine chain, and then sealed it, and addressed it to Frodo. At go here he put it on the mantelpiece, but suddenly he removed it and stuck it in his pocket. At that moment the door opened and Gandalf came quickly in. Hullo. said Bilbo. I wondered if you would turn up. I am glad to this web page you visible, replied pubg joker wizard, sitting down in a chair, I wanted to catch you and have a few final words. I suppose you feel that everything has gone off splendidly and according to plan. Yes, Just click for source do, said Bilbo. Though that flash was surprising: it quite startled me, let alone the others. A little addition of your own, I suppose. It was. You have wisely kept that ring secret all these years, and it seemed to me necessary to give your guests something else that would seem to explain your sudden vanishment. And would spoil my joke. You are an interfering old busybody, laughed Bilbo, but I expect you know best, as usual. I do when I know anything. But I dont feel too sure about this whole affair. It has now come to the final point. You have had your joke, and alarmed or offended most of your relations, and given the whole Shire something to talk about for nine days, or ninety-nine more likely. Are you going any further. Yes, I am. I feel I need a holiday, a very long holiday, as I have told you before. Probably a permanent holiday: I dont expect I shall return. In fact, I dont mean to, and I have made Pubg game wallpaper download joker arrangements. I click to see more old, Gandalf. I dont look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed. he snorted. Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That cant be right. I need a change, or something. Gandalf looked curiously and closely at him. No, it does not seem right, he said thoughtfully. No, after all I believe your plan is probably the best. Well, Ive made up my mind, anyway. I want to see mountains again, Gandalf mountains; and then find somewhere where I can rest. In peace and quiet, without a lot of relatives prying around, and a string of confounded visitors hanging on the bell. I might find somewhere where I can finish my book. I have thought of a nice ending for it: and he lived happily ever after to the end of his days. Gandalf laughed. I hope he will. But nobody will read the book, however it ends. Oh, they may, in years to come. Frodo has read some already, as far as it has gone. Youll keep an eye on Frodo, wont you. Yes, I will two eyes, as often as I can spare them. A L O NG-EX PECTE D PART Y 33 He would come with me, of course, if I asked him. In fact he offered to once, just before the party. But he does not really want to, yet. I want to see the wild country again before I die, and the Mountains; but he is still in love with the Shire, with Pubg game wallpaper download joker and fields and little rivers. He ought to be comfortable here. I am leaving everything to him, of go here, except a few oddments. I hope he will link happy, when he gets used to being on his own. Its time he was his own master now. Everything. said Gandalf. The ring as well. You agreed to that, you remember. Well, er, yes, I suppose so, stammered Bilbo. Where is it. In an envelope, if you must know, said Bilbo impatiently. There on the mantelpiece. Well, no. Here it is in my pocket. He hesitated. Isnt that odd now. he said softly to himself. Yet after all, why not. Why shouldnt it stay there. Gandalf looked again very hard at Bilbo, and there was a gleam in his eyes. I think, Bilbo, he said quietly, I should leave it behind. Dont you want to. Well yes and no. Now it comes to it, I https://rtsgames.cloud/fallout/fallout-4-essential-mods-ps4.php like parting with it at all, I may say. And I dont really see why I should. Why do you want me to. he asked, and a curious change came over his voice. It was sharp with suspicion and annoyance. You are always badgering me about my ring; but you have never bothered me about the other things that I got on my journey. No, but I had to badger you, said Gandalf. I wanted the truth. It was important. Magic rings are well, magical; and they are rare and curious. I was professionally interested in your ring, you may say; and I still am. I should like to know where it is, if you go wandering again.
