The Lord of the Rings (LOTR) part 2

Many things had happened after the fellowship was broken. Pippin and Merry were carried by orcs to Mordor. Frodo and Sam were closer to Mount Doom. Aragorn,Legolas and Gimli went to Gondor. Let's start with the three best friends (Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli). As so I said, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli went to Gondor, to meet Theoden King and Eomer. On their way, they saw a man with white robe with long white hair (in the book) they assumed it was Saruman. Then realized that it was actually Gandalf. He was no longer Gandalf the Grey, he was Gandalf the White. After that. they went to Helm's deep and that was where the Battle of Helm's Deep began. Gandalf went off and told Aragorn he will be back.

Man, elves from all around Middle-Earth came to battle against the orcs. Before that Legolas said that their strength to be three hundred against ten thousand. Aragorn and Legalas quarreled a while. But there were many who fled to the battle field. Women and children fled from Gondor to Helm's Deep because it was safe there, until battle came. The women and children were hiding from danger in a small tunnel beyond the gates of Helm's Deep. All man and even small boys were to fight. Eowyn, daughter of Eomund, sister of Eomer, took care of the women and children, she later fought in the Battle of Pelennor Fields, without King Theoden (her uncle) knowing. Elves from Rivendell made it to the battle field (in the movie). When they were almost hopeless, Gandalf the White came with another army, and they won the Battle. The battle lasted for a few days.When the Battle of Helm's Deep began, Pippin and Merry managed to escape the orcs one night and ran into Fangorn Forest.

Fangorn forest belongs to the Ents, a race that look like trees and they talk. Pippin and Merry was chased by one orc when they escaped, the orc was killed by the oldest ent in the forest, Fangorn also known as Treebeard. Pippin and Merry soon became friends with Treebeard and his ent friends. At that point, Saruman and his army chopped down all the trees to make room for his new army. Merry successfully led the ents to attack Saruman and his army unexpectedly. Treebeard was very angry when he saw all the trees chopped down. And so, Saruman was prisoned on the top of Isengard. And the orcs were all drowned. Pippin and Merry was seen dangling their feet up upon a wall by Gandalf and the others. 

Meanwhile at Frodo's... Frodo and Sam spent days walking, getting closer to Mount Doom. Sleep in the night, walk in the day. Just the two of them, but they never knew there was a third one...  Then one night, when they were sleeping at a "tunnel" at Emyn Muil. Gollum, he was once Smeagol before he found the ring and was corrupted by it. Gollum has been going after the ring right after Bilbo Baggins (Frodo's uncle) found it by accident and took it. When Frodo and Sam were sleeping, Gollum sneaked upon them and tried to snatch the ring from Frodo's neck (he wear the rings in a necklace way around his neck). But Frodo and Sam were awake, they caught Gollum and use the elven rope Galadriel gave to Sam and tied it around Gollum's neck. They made a deal, Frodo will not kill Gollum if he bring them to Mount Doom. So Gollum was their guide. Ever since then, Sam thought something was fishy about Gollum, sometimes at night, after Frodo slept, Sam heard Gollum speaking to Smeagol, speaking to himself. He has split personality. The bad Smeagol, Gollum said he will lead the hobbits into a trap, my the good Smeagol denied. But Gollum managed to pursued Smeagol into trapping them in order to get their "precious" (the ring). 

Sam told Frodo secretly about Gollum's plan, but Frodo did not believe him. Sneaky little Gollum acted innocent infront of Frodo. His voice was rough and always hold the letter "s" producing a "ssss" sound. Like preciousssssss. Annoying. 

After the two battle ended, Gandalf, Theoden, Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn made their way to Isengard, when they saw the place was flooded, Saruman was trapped at the top of Isengard. Pippin and Merry greeted them with glee. They finally reunited! But what trouble could have come for Frodo and Sam? To be continued.....

The Lord of the Rings (LOTR) part 1

WAIT WAIT OMG BEFORE I START. I FINISHED THE LOTR BOOK A FEW WEEKS AGO! YES 1000+ BOOK I TOLD YOU ABOUT!! IT WAS A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!! AND NOW... TO THE REAL TOPIC...


The Lord of the Rings is an epic fantasy novel written by J.R.R. Tolkien. The Lord of the Rings was published in three volumes, entitled, The Fellowship of the Rings, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. 


The dark lord, Sauron, created the one ring to rule Middle-Earth. The rings was gold and had elven-writings on it, but it only could be seen if it is heated. They said, if the ring was put on, he or she will become invisible. In a small land, The Shire, a hobbit-land, where all hobbits unite. Lives Frodo Baggins and his uncle Bilbo Baggins and their gardener Samwise Gamgee (known as Sam). Then one day, came Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo's old friend. After Bilbo left for his journey, Frodo came upon a deadly quest. That could drive all of them in great danger. He must once and for all destroy the ring of power. 
THE RING
Alike Huh??


Scary Huh?
Together with Sam, they were on a quest to Mount Doom, Mordor, the only place to destroy the ring. When they bumped into two other hobbits (their own kind), Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck also known as Pippin and Merry. They both looked alike but the funny thing was they were not twins. Both Merry and Pippin join Frodo and Sam on the deadly quest. On their way, they met Tom Badabil. A friend of Pippin. They stayed at his house for a while and Tom armed them with weapons as the road down was dangerous. They went a very far way. Until one day, they stumbled across a dark rider, Saruman's army.

But, they eventually escaped the dark rider. *applause* On their way, they reached Bree, a small village, Gandalf told them to stay at The Prancing Pony. In there, they met Strider, whose real name was Aragorn, son of Arathorn. From there, together with Strider, they continued their journey. One night, when Strider was away for a while, Frodo and the hobbits caught the eyes of the dark riders. They were surrounded by the dark riders. Frodo had the urge to put his ring on to escape. But, putting the ring on was a bad idea, it only attracted the dark riders (a.k.a. the nazguls) attention. One of the Nazguls stabbed Frodo on his left shoulder. Then Strider came and fought the Nazguls. Frodo was in deep pain, Aragorn and Sam went to find kingsfoil which could slow the pain down. When suddenly Arwen the elf(which I like to call Aragorn's lover/gf :) ) With Arwen's help, she and Frodo rode to Rivendell, where Frodo can be healed by Arwen's father, Elrond. 

Frodo woke up on a comfy bed, beside him was Gandalf, Frodo was "muzzy" at first until Gandalf filled it in. He felt no pain on his shoulder anymore, Lord Elrond had healed him. After Frodo, Sam, Pippin and Merry reunited. They met Bilbo, resting below a tree, writing his book, "There and Back Again". Bilbo gave Frodo his mithil coat, a protective armor, made from the delicate hands of the elves, and Bilbo's sword, Sting, it will glow blue when there is orcs nearby. 

Rivendell, the magical place. Where elves rule...

The news of the ring had been spreading fast. So it happened, that there will be a council in Rivendell, where all races unite to solve the issue. Frodo and his friends dwell in Rivendell for a few days, when strangers from around Middle-Earth came. Frodo, Gandalf, Strider (Let's call him Aragorn from now on), Elrond (of course), elves, dwarves.... Gandalf introduced the elves, dwarves and men in the council. From the woodland Mirkwood, Legolas Greenleaf (HAWTTTTTTT) and his elf-friends represent The King of Mirkwood, King Thranduil (Legolas's father). Among the dwarves, you know, the short little fellow? Yeah, them. Sat Gimli, son of Gloin, he had a long bushy beard. Among the men, stood Boromir, son of Denethor, and Aragorn, Isildur's heir (You really need to know the Middle-Earth history first) During the council, they had fights, disagreement, especially between the elves and the dwarves. The dwarves hates the elves. Because Gloin, was prisoned by King Thranduil. Done. I think that's it. But later on in the story, Gimli and Legolas became good friends *applause*

They came across The mines of Moria, Frodo saw a hideous creature following them. Gandalf said his name was Gollum, he has been following them for 3 days since they left from Rivendell. Gandalf fell down the bridge of khazza-dum when fighting against The Balrog. The fellowship wept and continued their journey. They went to Lothlorien a.k.a. Lorien, where elves ruled. There lived Galadriel one of the ring bearers of the three elven kings. The fellowship dwell there for a few days, and took off. Galadriel gave each of them a gift. 


At the end of the Fellowship of the Rings movie/book. Frodo and Sam went alone to Mount Doom, leaving the fellowship behind. Boromir died from saving Merry and Pippin from the orcs. Pippin and Merry got captured by the orcs. Gandalf died. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli were left alone, they continued their journey to Gondor. The fellowship was broken.
