The Fellowship of the Lord of the Rings - A Tale of the Elven King

Not long after the elf king Thranduil's grand wedding, Mirkwood once again returned to its former peace. The life of the king and queen was happy and happy. Thranduil's love for his wife grew day by day. There is no more loving couple than them , they cherish and love each other, have similar interests, they often go hunting in the forest or attend banquets together,

But the calmness always conceals uneasiness, and the hidden dangers in the dark jungle are gradually being exposed.Although life in the Elven Kingdom is generally peaceful and happy, there are always unsatisfactory things, such as more and more poisonous snakes appearing in the forest.

Thranduil carefully read the report sent to him, and the manager Oster reported to him:

"My lord, the situation is not optimistic. This is already the No. 12 case of being attacked. It is time for us to take some action."

"So what do you think we should do?"

"Your Majesty, these poisonous snakes are not creatures that originally lived in the dense forest. I have observed their whereabouts. They should have come from further north. I think we should send our scouts to the north to hunt for those climbers on the wilderness. The Danes and the dwarves of the Gray Mountains seek news."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Thranduil agreed with Oster's suggestion.

Despite this, as a competent king, Thranduil was still worried about the dangers faced by his people, and even when his wife ran out to meet him, his worried expression still could not be completely hidden. stand up.

Antinoya looked at her husband and said worriedly, "My lord, what happened? You don't look very happy."

"There are some, but it's okay." Thranduil smiled and held his wife's hand.

Antinoya stared at her husband and said, "Please don't hide anything from me. I am willing to do my best to help you solve any difficulties. Please remember that we are one."

Thranduil thanked his wife for her sincere friendship, and assured her that the current situation was not serious, that he had taken some measures, and would tell her as soon as he really needed help.

Antinoya expressed her satisfaction with this. She was willing to share her husband's worries and problems, and at the same time believed in her husband's ability and wisdom as a king. If he didn't want to tell her, then she would respect his decision and stop interfering in this matter thing.

And when the Elf King sent his elf team out to inquire about the news, someone on the other side of the dense forest heard some news.

In Rosegobel, west of Mirkwood, lived a brown-robed wizard named Redagast. He was one of the most well-known Maya in Middle-earth. He loved flowers, birds, and caterpillars. He was a friend of animals... Communicating with them can also drive the animals to deliver messages.

When the seasons changed and the northern migratory birds migrated south through Mirkwood, he heard a song from the mouths of these southern migratory birds:

The dwarves of the Lonely Mountain toil,

The stones they dug were thrown aside,

The Demon King's Treasure is also mixed in,

it can give strength,

it can make one fly,

It can summon monsters,

The dragon heard its call,

Morgoth's pets will drive there from the north,

It crawls across the ground,

Its venom makes the earth tremble,

Its evil fire burns the trees,

Good men cannot resist its power,

Only the holy fire can kill it.

Radagast is very worried about this ballad. He doesn't know what it refers to, but it is obviously related to the demon king. Whether it is the treasure of the demon king or the pet of the demon king, it is definitely not pleasing thing.If the prophecy in the ballad is true, then there is a possibility that monsters will descend on the land in the north. Ridagast thought it was his duty to inform his friends, so he sent a carrier pigeon to Isinger to inform Bai Saruman the Wise Robe, while he himself and his rabbits went to find his old friend Gandalf.

Gandalf had just passed near his cabin a few days ago, and they had met once, when Gandalf had said that he would go to the east of the Anduin to visit the skin-changing people.The brown wizard could only hope that his old friend would not leave there so soon, otherwise it would be impossible to find another wandering wizard in the vast expanses of Middle-earth.

The brown-robed wizard drove his chariot, and his rabbit friends ran fast, leaping over the river and branches, even the birds couldn't catch up with them, and they led the wizard to gallop across the forest and grassland.

Thanks to Redagast's rabbit friend, he rushed to the skin-changing village in time. Gandalf the gray robe wizard was there. The skin-changing people lived in the forest between the Misty Mountains and the Mirkwood. Tall and strong, they are skilled carpenters and builders, caring for the animals that live with them, and though they are highly wary of strangers, they are friendly and hospitable to their friends, when Redagas When Te found Gandalf, they were happily enjoying the food together.

Gandalf was surprised at his presence.

"My friend, what brought you here in such haste?"

"Gandalf, I have some bad news for you... ah... um... wait, let me think." Redagast tried to remember, but he couldn't remember what he was going to say Suddenly, a bird's cry came from his hat. He took off the hat, and three yellow birds flew out and chirped around him.

"Oh, I remember, Gandalf... I have heard a prophecy from the North."

Gandalf laughed and said: "A prophecy is a prophecy, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, it is just a prophecy."

"It's about Morgoth, the demon king!!!" Redagast approached.

"...Oh... That's really bad news..." Gandalf's smile disappeared, and he looked at Redagast seriously and said, "Tell me, what prophecy did you hear?"

Redagast told Gandalf the ballad he heard, and now even Gandalf felt that it was a bit tricky. He didn't think the prophecy meant that Morgoth would wake up, but the treasure of the devil and the dragon did. It is also a powerful opponent that is difficult to deal with. It seems that the northern land is about to accept the baptism of war.

"Gandalf, I have notified Isengard, what should we do next?" Redagast looked at his friend and said.

Gandalf sighed and said: "If the prophecy is true, then we have to find a way to prevent the dragon from getting the treasure of the devil. Although we don't know what the treasure is, it will definitely increase the power of the dragon. You go back and wait for the news, and I am afraid I have to go to Isengard to meet the wise Saruman."
