Sam and Frodo made their way across the river and then hid their boat on the other shore. Then they made for their way to the land of darkness where they had to go. On their way they noticed that Gollum, they hideous creature who followed them since Moria, had found their path and was on their heels. So, for an easier way, without a foe in the back, they caught him and as they wanted to kill him, Frodo felt sorry for him and they tamed him. Frodo let swear him an oath never to hurt them. Then they returned to their journey with Sméagol as their guide for he knew the land of previous journeys.
