Another tale for Two Hobbits
Galither was about to begin the story as he had the finest pipe weed in the land and all the ale he could want but there was something missing. He needed some atmosphere to give him motivation to tell the two hobbits the story so he asked them if they wanted to go inside.
“Its rather quiet out here you mind if we go inside as it is more cosy in there?” Galither asked
“Okay I think it would be nice to hear the rest of your story in a relaxing environment” Replied Hamfast
The three of them then grabbed their ale and walked into the inn. It was now livelier than before and anyone could tell that it was evening by the merry atmosphere of the hobbits and men inside. Much laughter spread across the room as Galither scanned the room searching for a seat for the three of them. He noticed a lone table in the corner of the room. It was darker than the other seats but they had no choice if they wanted a whole table to themselves.
They sat down, Galither on his own and the two hobbits sat in the opposite side of the table. Galither was still chugging on the pipe weed as it passed through his lungs with such softness that it did not feel as brisk as the usual pipe weed he smokes.
“We were invited back to our kinsmen home for the nights shelter before we continued north. It was a cosy little village far east from here. The inn there was very lively. The women were very elegant as they almost floated around handing out the ale to the rough and scraggly looking men that sat in each booth. They really made you feel like a king while you were there. The finest meat we had ever tasted was cooked nice and medium for my bitter taste buds. We feasted all night until our belts felt tight on our stomach.
Later that night we were treated to dancing in the town centre. The lantern that was producing the light for everyone was immense. No one slept that night for they all drank for victory that day against the hordes of goblins that emerged from the darkness in northern moria. We sat up and gazed at the stars without a care in the world. It felt so calm. I had more inner peace than I ever hoped to achieve. Falmir spilt all four pints over my clean trench coat; he was that unaware of his surroundings. I think he was really enjoying himself even though he puts on a façade most of the time.
We woke up the next morning in the very centre of the town. We had become so drunk that we feared for what we may have got up to. The maids that were clearing the place up were giving giggles to each other at the sight of the men.
“What did we do last night?” Falmir asked
The three of us all gave each other looks of emptiness for none of them knew what had gone on that night. We thought that our best plan of action would be to sneak off early to allow things to die down. Then we would be able to return in a few days after their current mission and find out just what we did.
We swiftly gathered all our belongings and scampered down the pathway to the north track towards the destination. It took a few hours until we reached a rather green hill. No flowers could be found here it was completely flat. Upon reaching the top of this hill however we become knowledgeable of why this was so. Another skirmish was taking place down the other side of this hill. No humans were here this time though as it were two rival goblins starting a fight upon each other. We strafed around the violence trying not to be noticed as this was going to be very incontinent if we were to get caught. Silently we crept along the heath avoiding all branches and folly that could make noise for if the goblins were to be alerted of our presence then we would surely suffer a fate without mercy.
It was successful; we made the destination without a scratch. It was absolutely beautiful. We stood in awe over this glimpse of heaven. Never before had such purity been coexistent with the world. It felt like something unearthly for such beauty cannot survive in such horrors that corrupt this world surely.
Well there we have it the mission was complete. They stayed there merely to behold the beauty that the item offered until removing themselves from the place and continued back to Gondor. Along their way back they again passed the village they stayed at before.”
Galither was interrupted by Hamfast who was running low on ale and implored Galither to take a break so that he could fill himself up with the good stuff again.
Galither lit up more pipe weed to give him the motivation to finish the story. When Hamfast returned to the booth with the drinks Galither was preparing to continue once again.
