Another Tale for Two Hobbits
Galither was now getting to the stage where he was rather drunk slumped at the bar. However he was greeted with some company this fine hour. The two hobbits that he met earlier had entered the inn and they swiftly moved over to him. They were eager to hear move of his story but they looked around and noticed that the other men that were with Galither were now missing.
“Before you ask it’s a long story one I do not wish to speak of this day.”
Galither then turned to the two hobbits.
“Good Afternoon Hobbit-men.” Galither spoke
He then called over to the bar waitress and requested that three ales be made for them. She pulled the threes jugs of ale into their pint sized mugs and placed them in front of them all. Galither handed Ruby some coins and the two hobbits sat down.
“Been working hard gentlemen?” said Galither
“OH yes we been slaving away in the fields all days. Even broke a sweat in the last hour. That’s why we chose to take a break”
“Then you wants to hear more tales to bring you away from the burden of the days hardship?”
The two hobbits replied with eager faces, as they were rather excitable from the first tale.
“Okay where shall I begin” replied Galither
It was a day of light. No darkness crept up on it. So much light was being produced from the sun that nothing but beauty polluted the freshly coated air. Each wave of air truly felt like the angels touching our bones. It was our finest hour. We felt like the kings of the world. The braches and thicket, which we laid, felt like a royal palace. You would not believe that this day would be tainted, as it felt so pure.
However when we readied ourselves to continue into the northern lands we came across a skirmish between goblins and humans. It was a rare sight to see. The weirdest part was that a trolls emerged from the darkness of the mountain. This was an inconvenience to us as we were hoping to pass this area without trouble.
We charged down hoping to help our fellow kinsmen. Falmir and me pulled out our swords and shield and ran with great speed to fight. Sherman grasped his axe handle and yanked out the great battle-axe from his back. Thenergol also pulled out his spear and launched it though the air. We reached the battle and fended off the goblins with great force. Sherman took some blows to his chest but nothing pierced through. An arrow went through my leg but I continued to fight. Once enough goblins were dead they began to retreat. However the troll was very persistent and refused to move.
So Thenergol fired his spear straight through the chest of the troll and as he did this falmir jumped onto the back of the trolls and started striking the troll with his sword. Sherman and me were fending off the remaining goblins until they were all gone. Then the trolls began to get reckless and started throwing his hard body around attempting to shake off falmir.
Moments later men shouted to get falmir off the troll and arrows were fired into the belly of the troll, which taken him down with ease.
We stood on the man and accepted the spoils of war from the goblins. Mainly just gold and silver. This was not the end of our task but after meeting the trolls that attacked us earlier that week and now this we knew that we would face more in our journey.
Stalevor finished his story and left the two hobbits wanting to hear more. However they again needed to get back to work. This time Galither offered to lend his services for he had nothing else to do and wanted to take his mind off things. So he downed the rest of the ale and they made there way out of the inn, into the sun filled air.
