When Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli on the next day found traces of the Hobbits leading into Fangorn Forest they followed them at once. There they found Treebeards plateau and climbed up for a better view. Suddenly a strange person appeared from below out of the forest. He was dressed all in white and they first thought it was Saruman, but beyond any hope Gandalf had returned to them. He had survived the battle with the Balrog and had returned to the last remains of the fellowship as fast as possible. Now he was dressed all in white and his power was greater then ever before.
The group went out of the forest and rode on towards the Golden Hall, Meduseld, where Théoden King, the lord of Rohan, dwelt in the city of Edoras.
