بخش 14

They were elves once.

Taken by the dark powers tortured and mutilated.

A ruined and terrible form of life.

And now perfected.

My fighting Urukhai, whom do you serve?

Saruman!

Hunt them down.

Do not stop until, they are found.

You do not know pain.

You do not know fear.

You will taste manflesh!

One of the halflings carries something of great value.

Bring them to me alive and unspoiled.

Kill the others.

Never before have we clad strangers in the garb of our own people.

May these cloaks help shield you from unfriendly eyes.

Lembas.

Elvish waybread.

One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man.

How many did you eat?

Four.

Every league you travel south, the danger will increase.

Mordor orcs now hold the eastern shore of the Anduin.

Nor will you find safety on the western bank.

Strange creatures bearing the mark of the white hand have been seen on our borders.

Seldom do orcs journey in the open under the sun, yet these have done so.

Le aphadar aen(You are being tracked)

By river you have the chance of outrunning the enemy to the falls of Rauros.

My gift for you, Legolas, is a bow of the Galadhrim.

Worthy of the skill of our woodland kin.

These are the daggers of the Noldorin.

They have already seen service in war.

Do not fear, young Peregrin Took.

You will find your courage.

And for you, Samwise Gamgee Elven rope made of hithlain.

Thank you, my lady.

Have you run out of those nice, shiny daggers?

And what gift would a dwarf ask of the elves?

Nothing.

Except to look upon the lady of the Galadhrim one last time for she is more fair than all the jewels beneath the earth.

Actually..

There was one thing.

No, no, I couldn’t.

It’s quite impossible.

Stupid to ask.

I have nothing greater to give than the gift you already bear.

Am meleth dîn(For her love)

I ant e guil Arwen Undómiel pígatha (I fear the grace of Arwen Evenstar will diminish)

Aníron i e broniatha, ad ae periatham(I would have her leave these shores)

athar i methid enamar hen(and be with her people)

Aníron i e círatha na Valannor(I would have her take the ship to Valinor.)

That choice is yet before her.

You have your own choice to make, Aragorn.

To rise above the height of all your fathers since the days of Elendil or to fall into darkness with all that is left of your kin.

Namárië(Farewell)

Nadath nâ i moe cerich(There is much you have yet to do)

Dan, ú’eveditham, Elessar(We shall not meet again, Elessar)

Farewell, Frodo Baggins.

I give you the light of Earendil our most beloved star.

May it be a light for you in dark places when all other lights go out.

I have taken my worst wound at this parting having looked my last upon that which is fairest.

Henceforth I will call nothing fair unless it be her gift to me.

What was her gift?

I asked her for one hair from her golden head.

She gave me three.

Gollum.

He has tracked us since Moria.

I had hoped we would lose him on the river.

But he’s too clever a waterman.

And if he alerts the enemy to our whereabouts it will make the crossing even more dangerous.

Have some food, Mr. Frodo.

No, Sam.

You haven’t eaten anything all day.

You’re not sleeping, neither.

Don’t think I haven’t noticed.

Mr. Frodo.

I’m all right.

But you’re not.

I’m here to help you.

I promised Gandalf that I would.

You can’t help me, Sam.

Not this time.

Get some sleep.

Minas Tirith is the safer road.

You know that.

From there we can regroup.

Strike out for Mordor from a place of strength.

There is no strength in Gondor that can avail us.

You were quick enough to trust the elves.

Have you so little faith in your own people?

Yes, there is weakness.

There is frailty.

But there is courage also, and honor to be found in men.

But you will not see that.

You are afraid!

All your life, you have hidden in the shadows.

Scared of who you are, of what you are.

I will not lead the ring within a hundred leagues of your city.

Frodo.

The Argonath.

Long have I desired to look upon the kings of old.

My kin.
