Now Frodo and Sam, led by Sméagol, travelled through the fair land of Ithilien. This was the last beautiful place east of the Anduin and west of Mordor. There were green woods and many animals lived there. They had walked very long in the nights and slept uneasy during daylight so they were very weary. Sam thought that a good meal would return their strength, because the lembas of the elves might give them what they need to walk on, but a real ...

The leader of the woodsmen asked them of their duty and they answered as good as possible without mentioning the ring. As they listed the names of their company the leader leaped up in amazement.

When they finally reached the evil valley they walked along a path on its side and then they reached a hidden stair and Sméagol showed them the way up. It was a very long and high stair and it was very hard to walk but the hobbits never stopped. They went up high to the top of the mountains and on their side they ever had the warning of Minas Morgul. When they were only a little up the stair, suddenly the gates of the evil fortress opened and ...

They finally had reached he end of the long stair and there they rested finally. As they walked on they suddenly saw the outline of a fortress standing in their way. Frodo was very angry because Sméagol had said the way was secret and unwatched. Then Sméagol showed them what he had meant. He led them to a secret hidden cave entrance in the mountain and explained that the other end of the cave lay behind the fortress. So the hobbits walked into ...

Now the army of Rohan was on its way to Gondor. After half the way, a young rider appeared in front of them to bring the request of assistance. So the riders speeded up because time was valuable.
