Beregond speaks
Beregond stood up. Tall he was, and in the glimmer of the firelight they could see his sword, shining bright.
And he said, "I am a messenger of Gondor, sent to find tidings from the west. Long have I been abroad, and many roads have I tread since I left Gondor, yet now my mission is accomplished. Yet tidings also I bear from the east, and I will tell them to you." He paused, then said, "We have reason to think that the Dark Lord has risen again in Mordor, and has built anew the Dark Tower. Forces he is gathering, and Mount Doom is smoking again. This may or may not be news for you, I do not know. Yet that is not my mission."
He stopped for awhile, as though thinking, then said, "I will accompany you on this mission, though I do not know my peril, for we in the south know little of these wights, save in song, and they are but legends to us. Even so, I would go with you, for I deem that it is my fate. I will come with you, at least as far the barrows."
He then sunk back into his chair.
