[Glirdan]

Gandalf sat in his living room, thinking of all the different spells he uses each night to protect his house. Tonight, however, nothing was coming to him. "What is the matter with me!?" he cried out loud. That's when images of the dead villagers flashed before his eyes. Right then and there, he broke down, balling his eyes out. The he heard a scratch at window and he jumped. "Oh!! It's just a tree branch!" Then he heard a knock at the door. He jumped and the door swung open. "Oh! It's just the wind." The he heard another scratch at the window. "I'm not falling for that one again."

"Maybe not. But you should be afraid!" snarled the figure lumbering towards him.

The villagers awoke in the morning, lumbered out of bed, got dressed groggily and slumped to the village square. There was a sad, depressed mood in the air. To no one's surprise, they noticed that Gandalf was the one missing this time. "Oh, I really don't want to go see what's happened to the guy. After all teh dead bodies of friends that I've seen, I think I might throw up!" Valesse said solemnly(sp?). Just then, Mith screamed in terror. "What!? What is it!?"

"Gan-gan-GANDALF!!" Mith gasped, and she fell in faint. Ang and Valesse turned to where she was pointing an saw the most ghastly sight that they've ever seen. Gandalf's body was right there, in the middle of the square, torn to bits yet placed in the shape of the message:

Hurry up and catch me
For thee only have one day to find me!

Of course, there were letters left out of some of the words, yet they were able to read the crudely shaped words. True to her word, Valesse threw up on the spot.
