Chapter Five:
Questions that need answering
They then returned into Bag End to gaze upon the ring that was left on the floor, Gandalf tried to pick it up when just before touching the surface felt a dark entity one that hasn't been felt for a past age, Twilight felt this too for she like all ponies shared a strong bond with their companions so that what ever happens to one well happen to the other. They sat by the fire thinking of the events of only hours ago especially the very words that came out of Bilbos mouth, ' It's mine. Mine own. MY PRECIOUS!' when Frodo and Applejack came in shouting the names of their relatives only to find the ring still on the floor by the door, Frodo picks up the ring then looks to Gandalf and Twilight who hasn't moved an inch to say, " Their gone. Bilbo talked for so long about leaving but I didn't think they really do it." as he and Applejack walked forward the fireplace.
Gandalf didn't reply but instead looked down onto the ring then to Frodo to finally say, " Bilbo's ring, he and Granny have gone to stay with the Elves. They've left both you and Applejack Bag End." then places an open envelop telling Frodo to place the ring in it to which he did before finally closing it with a wax seal then continuing, " Along with all of their possessions. The ring is yours now." as he hands it back before getting up from his chair with Twilight following to get his hat and staff.
Applejack was quite confused from this that she ran after them and asked, " And where in tar nation are you two going?"
To which Twilight said, " Sorry Applejack, there are some things we must see to."
" What things?" asked Frodo
To which Gandalf replied, " Questions! Questions that need answering." then heads to the door with Twilight.
Only to be stopped by Frodo who said more, " But you've only just arrived. I don't understand."
Which made the wizard turn around to say, " Neither do we." then bend down over the Chandelier and says, " So keep the ring secret and keep it safe." before going out the door with Twilight, meanwhile far in the East in the land of Mordor the fires of Mount Doom were still flowing through like rivers all leading to a legion of Orcs rebuilding the old fortress of Barad-Dur with loud echoing hammers that were stopped by an even louder sound, the sound of two screaming creatures and two words that followed, " SHIRE! BAGGINS!" which triggered the wrath of the mountain and the release of nine black cloth riders on horses.
Gandalf and Twilight had just arrived into the Kingdom of Gondor beyond the capital city of Minas Tirith who were the unfortunate neighbors of Mordor standing as a light of hope against the darkness. They raced in and headed for the archives where they searched through old records and maps till Gandalf found one of great interest and read it, ' The year 3434 of the Second Age, here follows the account of Isildur High king of Gondor and the finding of the ring of power. It has come to me the one ring it shall be an heirloom of my Kingdom, all those who follow in my bloodline shall be bound to its fate it is precious to me. Though I'm bind by the great pain the markings upon the band began to fade, the writing that was first as clear as red flame has all but disappeared. A secret now that only fire can tell.'
Now back at the Shire Farmer Maggot was chopping his wood when a black rider rode to him and said in a very high cold voice, " SHIRE! BAGGINS!"
Which scared not only him but his dogs and pony Hayseed Turnip truck but in a growing want to get rid of the rider he says, " I'm sorry but there are no Bagginses around here they're all up in Hobbitain. Just go that way." then points in the direction and heads inside his house as the rider and more left.
Chapter Six:
The markings
While in Hobbitain down in the Green Dragon Inn and Pub Frodo, Applejack, Sam, Fluttershy, Merry, Rainbow Dash, Pippin and Pinkie Pie were having a good old time singing and drinking all through the evening into the night where they all went home. Frodo and Applejack said there goodbyes to Sam and Fluttershy and made it home to find that things were dark and seemed out of place then something or someone grabbed them and pulled them in, It was Gandalf and he looked agitated especially when he asked, " IS IT SECRET?! IS IT SAFE?!" Frodo then goes about a trunk to find the envelop that still had the ring inside it, when he found he handed it over to Gandalf but Twilight grabs it and tosses it in the fireplace where strangely it wasn't darkening, melting or cracking but instead was staying intact as Gandalf pulls it out.
He tells Frodo to hold out his hand and drops the ring onto it which to the Hobbits surprise was quite cold then stands up and asked, " What do you see Frodo? Can you see anything?"
Frodo looks at it but finds nothing so he says, "No nothing. There's nothing." then shows it to Applejack who agreed.
When suddenly the sides began to glow and she said, " What the hay, wait. These are markings."
To which Frodo looked at the ring again and finds it true all around the ring glew markings of fire, he then tries to read it but with no luck so he said, " She's right but it's some form of Elvish so I can't read it."
And that's when Gandalf and Twilight new there was trouble. He lowers his head and says, " No you couldn't in fact there are few who can. The language is that of Mordor which I well not utter here."
Then all four turned to face each other two confused the others worried, Frodo asked, " Mordor?"
And was answered by Twilight who said, " Yes but in the common tongue it says ' One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all. And in the darkness bind them.'"
