Witchers, Wizards and Rings Chapter Two

With this I update this then I update the Uzumaki Ghost story next. ENJOY!

I own nothing!

:Chapter Start:

Campsite on the stones near the Gap of Rohan-three days since leaving Riverdale

At the last campsite they would make before passing the Gap, Gandalf, Rinbur, Gimli and Aragon was smoking Pipe Weed as Bolomir trained the Hobbits. Gerald and Legosas were keeping watch. Sam cooked a simple lunch as Marry and Pippin trained with the daggers that they used as swords. Frodo watched from the side as he polished the Elven Blade his uncle gifted him.

Gimli starts, "Why are we taking the long way, when we can take the Mines of Moria, my cousin would give us a royal welcome."

Gandalf simply says, "I would not take the ring their willingly. The rings power is too enticing with all the Dwarfs inside the mines. It would be flame to the tinder," Gimli conceded that point. The risk to his fellow Dwarfs would heavily on Gimli but he would still consider it a possible path to avoid Saruman.

Bolomir had the two where they were showing that they had difficulty duelling Bolomir as Rinbur shouts to the two hobbits, "Remember if you can't win fairly! Cheat!"

Bolomir frowns as Pippin and Marry suddenly both rushed the Tower Guard resulting in Bolomir down to the ground and using their fists to keep the human or Tall Folk man on the ground. Frodo cheered them on while everyone just laughed lightly. Until Legolas states, "There is a foul sound on the wind."

Gimli frowns before saying, "It is just a cloud."

Gerald simply says, "Coming towards us, Against the Wind," With that Rindur went ahead and started concealing their campsite with a speed that was not natural for his elderly age. Sam looked at him suspiciously but covered everything that he could. Their camp was covered and they used the rocks and grey blankets to conceal themselves amongst the rocks as an army of grey birds swooped into the area searching for the fellowship.

Once the birds had left Gandalf speaks, "The Gap is guarded and watched. We must take the path over the mountain," pointing his staff back the way had come a full weeks travel.

Rinbur simply says, "Like I suggested. Saruman would have foolishly waited until his forces spotted us like they more than likely have," Gandalf had to nod with that as they finished packing and started to back track their journey in order to take the trail up the mountain. A task that actually was easier due to the majority of the return trip being downhill before reaching a winding path back up the mountain.

A week later-half way up the mountain pass

They had climbed up the mountain pass with no interference as they reached the lowest point where snow gathered on the Misty Mountains. They travelled till Frodo fell through a void in the snow and rolling the back along the path that they came from losing the Ring where Bolomir struggled to return the Ring to Frodo while Aragon had been ready to draw his sword while Rinbur and Gerald were already generating magic to disable Bolomir. When Bolomir did return the Ring, everyone calmed down and they continued their path. After a few more days, they reached the traitorous paths where Aragon and Bolomir had to hold the Hobbits as they travelled. Gimli and Rinbur clearing the path of snow during the snowstorm that surrounded them, Gerald taking up the rear while Gandalf followed their lead along the snowed in path. Legolas was technically showing off in that he was so light he could along the snow without leaving a trail, something that Gimli commented whenever he wanted to be distracted from the cold.

They reached the three quarter mark of the mountain when the storm started getting worst. Legolas listen to the storm and says, "There is a dark voice on the wind, enticing the storm to get worse."

"Saruman! He is trying to bring down the mountain!" Gandalf stepped ahead of Gimli and Rinbur and started speaking in the old tongues to counter the spell of chaos with one to calm them mountains from falling down on them. Eventually they were buried in snow from an Avalanche, that they dug themselves out of before arguing about risking the Gap of Rohan. Aragon against and Bolomir for.

Gimli simply says, "If we can't go over, let us go under through the Mines of Moria. Saruman's magic's won't find us through the stone of the mountain."

Gandalf struggled to explain why he did not trust the route through Moria, the Dwarfs of the mines dug to deep and release an entity of shadow and fire that could mean the end of them all. Eventually Gandalf simply says, "Let the Ring bearer decide," that simple instruction was enough to get everyone one to accept the chosen path.

Frodo looked at the storm and simply said, "We go through the Mines!" to be heard over the roaring storm.

Gandalf looked in worry at the Hobbit before conceding, "Very well, back down the Mountain, same path we took to get here, but we take a different path before reaching the base. Quickly." The return journey was once again easier as they did not have to clear as much snow and were going down the mountain instead of up, while also causing their journey to take half as long as it did to reach the height of the mountain they reached.

Three days-Later-Outside the Walls of Moria.

Once they reached the Misty Lakes at the base of the Misty Mountains they followed a pass that crisscrossed between rivers and small lakes leading them to the base of the mountains where when the stone walls of the mountains were seen in a certain light and angle they could see that the side of the mountain was actually the walls that surround that of a castle.

Gimli simply says, "My cousin is the leader of the Mines of Moria, after Oak-shield took the Mines Back from the Orcs and Goblins that had taken it when the Dwarfs where divided against one another until Oak-Shield gained his name sake."

"A shield made of Morian Oak, strong stuff even better fuel for smelting ore. Can burn for days, with a chunk of the stuff," Rinbur states in humor before saying, "Though if you wanted a strong weapon handle."

They walk along the path making small talk about the Mines with Gandalf even stating, "Dwarfs are masters of hidden doors and secrets that even they can forget their own secrets with time."

Legolas simply says, "Why am I not surprised."

"I don't know," Rinbur states before he says, "Actually I have used such door in the past. And each of these doors had a riddle that appeared to be an insult to Elves. I wonder what they have used to find terrorise the Elves trying to use the door without the Dwarfs' knowledge."

Gimli laughed at that as Legolas simply says, "I doubt the Dwarfs' would do something so obvious."

Rinbur laughed lightly to himself as they reached the 'hidden' location of the door. Gandalf spoke, "Ah, Ithildin Stone," he looks to the sky as the Moon is revealed causing the mural to be discovered in the design of a tree and Elvish writing on the top arch. Gandalf reads, "Speak Friend and Enter!"

Rinbur looked at the writing and read, 'Speak 'Friend' and Enter!' and laughs as Frodo asks, "What does it mean?"

"It is simple, I say the password and the door will open," he then started speaking in the Dwarf Language uttering many different passwords until giving up for a couple minute.

Pippin asks, "Why won't it open?"

Gandalf growls and says, "Perhaps if I smash your head against it, we can dig our way through," with that Gandalf sat on a rock smoking as Sam and Aragon unloaded their pack horse saying goodbye to the young horse as it went and returned to Riverdale alone. Pippin and Marry started throwing rocks into the water until Aragon stopped them.

Eventually Frodo looked at the writing and says, "It is a riddle. Gandalf what is the Elvish word for 'Friend'?"

"Mellon," Gandalf answered before the doorway opened for them.

Rinbur laughs and says, "The passed word was Elvish, Legolas. Interesting method, to know the way in an Elf would have to admit to being friends with the Dwarfs." With that everyone started walking into the mines with Gandalf and Rinbur generating light which revealed that the Mines had become a Tomb since the last time Rinbur had been there. Which was bound to happen, Rinbur had not been to Moria for a good fifteen years with constant travel. Rinbur simply states, "This is bad."

Bolomir simply says, "This is no Mine, this is a Tomb."

Gimli started crying for the loss of his bretheren as Aragon says, "We need to leave, make for the Gap of Rohan this is to dangerous to be here."

Legolas remove and arrow from the skeletons and says, "Goblins."

They started retreating when Frodo was suddenly caught in a tentacle that dragged him back to the lake where a large Octopus was planning on eating him. Aragon, Bolomir and Gerald started to rush forward to cut through the Octopus while Legolas opened fire with arrows and Rinbur started generating lightning between his fingers while shouting, "Get out the water!" Aragon, Bolomir and Gerald managed to free Frodo, and got out the water before Rinbur zapped the Octopus before it started crawling over the ground.

Gandalf shouts, "Into the mine!" with that they retreated inside the Mine and got back enough to avoid a cave in caused by the Octopus. the chamber became dark before Gandalf created light by attaching a crystal on the tip of his staff. Gandalf simply says, "We are now forced to brave the Mines of Moria, it is three days to reach the other side."

Rinbur's hand glowed with light as he drew his sword generating some extra light displayed from his sword. Rinbur states "Should have returned to Moria sooner. Balin owed me Ten Bars of Mithril."

Rinbur appeared saddened before Gimli asks simply, "What did you do to warrant that, Rinbur?" he was automatically suspicious at the mention of Mithril.

"I did the one thing that no Dwarf could manage," Rinbur started, "I brought the sun to Moria," that confused the Fellowship as they walked through the Mine.

Gerald was the first to ask, "The Sun?"

"Well light, that does not burn or set ablaze with the pockets of gas that tends to explode when Fire is near," Rinbur states, "I called it the Dragon's Inner Fire," Gimli looked at him strangely until Rinbur states, "It was a series of stones that when in the presence of Mithril glowed with ethirial light," and considering the amount of Mithril in this very Mine." They reach a deep ravine that holds they see at the end of a chain was a large blue crystal the lit the darkness below as it swayed in the natural winds generated deep in the mine.

Gandalf states, "Impressive. It is no simple task in finding Mithril using magic's even I know not."

Rinbur simply says, "You should have seen Balin's smile of joy, when he discovered that behind a wall they left un-touched was an inch thick leading to enough Mithril to create armour for a hundred Tower Guards along with weapons."

They continued to walk until they reach a junction when Gandalf says, "I do not know the path we need."

Rinbur speaks, "They all lead to the main chambers but we will need to decide carefully which path to take." Gandalf nods and the Fellowship take this time to rest. Sam was about to start a fire to cook only for Rinbur to stop him as he says, "No fires, the smell of smoke will travel through the tunnels, any orcs or Gobblin will know we are here if you start cooking Gamgee." Sam nodded quickly while they ate some bread and fruits instead of cooking the meat they had brought, much to Merry and Pippins' arguments.

Eventually Pippin asks a question that even had Gimli curious, "Why did you name the lights, the Dragon's Inner Fire?"

Rinbur was silent as Frodo went to speak with Gandalf privately. Rinbur was in deep thought before he says, "the key component is Golden Mithril."

Gimli snorts at that as he says, "That is a myth."

Rinbur chuckles before saying, "For Dwarf's maybe, but what I can tell you, to make Golden Mithril, you need a dragon to melt Mithril Dust along with several crushed gems from the glowing caves of Helmsdeep. Once that is done you mix the Golden Mithril with water, the more water you add the large the Dragon's Inner Fire will become and the distance the Mithril stand the brighter the crystals."

Gimli frowns before saying, "How did you get Balin to agree for a dragon to aid him?"

"I told him the truth, it also acts as Dragon Repellent to larger dragons due to it glowing in their presence as well," Rinbur states, "though I did not tell him how it was made."

"Aye, if I knew that a dragon was involved then I would not have agreed to that deal," Gimli states.

Gerald hums before saying, "The real question is, how did you get a dragon to help you?"

"Trade secret," Rinbur counters as he stokes his beard with Sam noticing the slight unnatural movements of the beard. Rinbur then adds, "Who knows maybe by the end of this trip you all may know my all my secrets."

It was at that point when Gandalf suddenly says, "Ah, this is the way."

"So you remembered the way?" Merry questions.

"No," Gandalf admits before saying, "But this way, does not smell as foul." With that everyone packed what gear or food they pulled out before heading into the pathway to the left. They walked through the tunnel downwards for a good hour before walking up stairs for another hour before they reach the edge of the City in the Mines of Moria. Gandalf lifted his staff while saying, "Let me risk some more light," with that Gandalf raised his staff creating more light revealing the towering supports of Moria.

They were at the edge of Moria's main chamber of Moria. Of everything, they see in a short distance was a castle with a single beam of light from outside the mountain shine into the chamber, above the structure was a large crystal designed in a giant diamond in a golden ring. Merry was the one that comments, "That is the Dragon's Inner Fire?" referring to the crystal.

Rinbur looks at the crystal and notices a partial glow to the gem that flickered. Rinbur answered, "Yeah, though it should not be resting on the castle," he looks at the crystal and noticed a chain slack over the castle. "It was lowered meaning it was done on purpose."

With that said Gimli starts running to the castle at high speed and was quickly followed by everyone. They ran into the front chamber of the small chamber which was well lit. The room was filled with the bones of Dwarfs only they were not killed by Goblins or Orcs. Gimli was mourning in pain of the grave of Balin. Rinbur looks at some of the bodies of Dwarfs and some human servants. Gandalf finds a book and starts reading while Gerald walked over to Rinbur who was quietly examining room. Gerald simply says, "These Dwarfs were not killed in battle."

Rinbur nods before saying, "This room is always lit, during the day the sun is reflected through tunnels hidden in the ceiling, and during the night the rivers of lava underground flow up and generate light as the stones used to hold the lava back for the night. Totally automated due to special stones that grow and are unbreakable during the day. At night though they would melt within moments of the sun setting. Probably why the Goblins and Orcs have yet tried claim the weapons armour in this room."

Gerald looks to the stone coffin and simply states, "If that is the grave of the king of Moria, the king must have known they would have died."

Rinbur looks at the stone and says, "No, he probably died first, Balin was more focused on protecting his people, a cave in at the time I met him was proof enough for that, he worked days moving stone by hand to help his fellow Dwarfs," Rinbur looks on sadly remembering the past along with the other friends he had lost over the years. 'They listened to Gandalf reading of the final moments of the last Dwarfs of Moria before Pippin knocked a body of a Dwarf down a well after playing with a Goblin Arrow that had been stabbed into the Dwarf. The head fell down followed by the body. Rinbur sighs as Gandalf starts growling at Pippin before Rinbur dropped his large pack while saying, "I did not expect to be doing this now," he opened his pack revealing a couple fancy crossbows with strange barrels under the arrow slot. "Merry, Pippin, you two will need to use these. Aim the front at the enemy and pull the trigger, hold it down to fire multiple shots over time. When you run out, keep hold of them and use your swords." Rinbur handed the two Hobbits the crossbows. (Van Helsing's Auto Crossbow from Van Helsing) Rinbur then goes over to Sam and Frodo with a couple bags, "Use these to defend yourselves," they open the packs to fine glass vials, "Throw them at the enemy or the ground, just be careful they release a burst of light to disorientate the eyes," Sam opens the pack revealing some small corked vials that hold a stone in clear liquid.

Rinbur then handed Gerald several potion vials causing him to nod and drink one before placing the others in his pouch. Aragon and Bolomir walked over to the doors as drumming getting louder, Bolomir looked to the side and suddenly was pulled back by Aragon to avoid a Goblin's arrow, Bolomir looks to the arrow and then thanks Aragon as the step back into the chamber and start sealing the door as they hear a roar, "They have a Cave Troll."

Rinbur walks over to Gimli and hands him a pack of throwing Axes to use while giving Legolas some extra arrows to hold on each side of his waist. Rinbur then sheafed his extending sword on his hip before revealing a large broad sword from his pack. Rinbur then goes to Bolomir and Aragon and handed them each a ring that only Aragon used, giving his sword a glow like that of Rinbur's blade. Bolomir just gave his ring to Gandalf who accepted the gift and used it on his sword.

Rinbur says, "Merry, Pippin focus your fire on them when they get past the rest of us, or that Cave Troll enters the room," the Hobbits nod and stand behind Gandalf while Gimli jumps onto the Coffin of his cousin as Rinbur stands next to Bolomir, then Legolas, Aragon and then Gerald stands in that order right to left when looking from the doors to the chamber.

The doors started shaking as forces of unknown origin started slamming onto the door. Surprising the doors were able to handle the strain of enemy forces by a series of axes and spears holding the door closed before they just started tearing into a doors. The doors started getting large holes causing Legolas and Aragon to open fire with arrows through said holes.

Rinbur breathed deeply as the doors started to bulged as the loud steps were heard before a loud smash occurred when the doors were forced open by a large Cave Troll that blinked struggling to see in the bright room. Which is when Merry and Pippin held down the triggers on their crossbows letting loose several dozen bolts before the weapons ran out of bolts quickly. They dropped the crossbows before drawing their swords and proceeded to defend Frodo and Sam as they were ready to throw the vials.

Rinbur slashed through several Goblins that came to close. The Longsword actually crushed them as they got slammed down on, while knocking other back violently. Gerald managing to slash through weapons and armour to destroy the Goblins. Aragon, Legolas and Bolomir was handling the goblins well and with Aragon using a sword that generated light made it difficult for the Goblins to even look at him. Gimli though had the focus of the Cave Troll as it's wild swings were poorly orientated due to the Trolls pour eye sight, made for pour hand eye coordination. Gandalf managed to defend the Hobbits and with the flashes from the vials really ensured that the Goblins struggled to fight.

Eventually the Troll got angry with Gimli and just went to slam it's hammer down on the coffin causing Gimli to comment, "Sorry, Balin," as he jumped off the coffin that was then half destroyed. Rinbur to the side notices the damage and sees ten ingots of silvery material. Rinbur then then collected himself as the light from his sword vanished before the sword started to generate lightning as every cut and nick by the blade disabled the Goblin for a finishing blow. Eventually a group of Goblins tackling him back as the Cave Troll focused on Frodo due to an unknown magical force. Rinbur struggled to get the Goblins off of him before the lightning vanished and then burst with power that knocked them back with one Goblin holding onto the beard and removing it from Rinbur's face revealing a face of a young man, in his late teens. The boys hat fell off revealing him to also being a wig revealing his short brown hair. Rinbur shouts, "That was my favourite beard you bastard!" before drawing his extending sword while holding his long sword in one hand and the other in the other, with the smaller sword energised with lightning and the longsword generating light and quickly started slaughtering Goblins.

The Cave Troll eventually managed to Spear Frodo with a Dwarvin spear, before Merry and Pippin jumped onto the Cave Trolls back. Gerald casted a spell on his blades setting them alight as he kills the goblins around him while Aragon and Legolas manages to kill the Cave Troll before the Goblins run away from the room.

Everyone rushes to Frodo while Rinbur goes to collect his ruined beard causing him to say, "Ruined," before chucking the beard to the side before collecting his hat and removing the wig and placing it back on top of his head and joining the others.

Sam spotted him and stepped between him and Frodo who survived being stabbed due to Mithril shirt hidden under his clothes surprising everyone. Sam says to Rinbur, "Who are You!?"

"We have been travelling together for weeks and now you are asking my name," Rinbur jokes before Sam places his sword at his throat.

Sam simply says, "Who are you? Because clearly you are not who you say you are with that Fake beard and hair."

Rinbur rubs his short haired scalp and says, "Truthfully," Rinbur was struggling to find the right words before bitting the Arrow, "I haven't aged for about seventy years. The beard is to conceal it so that I can actually do the one thing I am good at," Rinbur states, "Helping people."

Gerald looks at Rinbur and says, "Good you took that damn thing off."

Legolas comments, "Yeah, it made you smell like a horse."

Gandalf simply says, "Yes, your choice may be wise, but even I would not wear that thing in private."

Rinbur looks to Aragon and sees him nodding in agreement. Rinbur sighs and says, "You all suck," before walking over to the coffin and collects the ten ingots of Mithril and collects the two crossbows and goes to his pack and reloads the two. He hands Merry one crossbow reloaded crossbow and a replacement bolt holder. Rinbur then shows Merry how to reload the weapon and says, "This time aim and shoot single shots, unless you need to cover us."

Merry nodded before asking, "Does those rings work with Crossbows?"

"Yes, but we don't have time for me to teach you how to use them with crossbow. A sword is quite easy as all you need to do is grip the thing," Rinbur states before stepping away and pulling a sling shot from his coat along with one ingot from the Coffin.

Gimli speaks up, "We need to move on," Gimli rolls his shoulder before walking over to Rinbur and asks, "Anymore axes?" Rinbur nods and quickly gets the other half of his supplies of axes and hands Legolas more arrows to him and Aragon.

Rinbur then says, "We need to move now, I have an idea to give us some breathing room but I don't know how long it will give us," Gandalf nods at that as they all ready themselves to move forward except Sam.

Sam simply asks, "So are we just going to ignore the fact that he was concealing what he really looks like?"

Gandalf simply says, "Yes, Rinbur has looked like this since before he became known to Middle Earth, Samwise Gamgey, take his word on this manner at least until we get out of Moria." Sam forcefully agreed before they were all prepared to run out the chamber Rinbur pausing a few metres out and turned around with his slingshot and Ingot of Mithril and launched it into the air and onto the Dragon's Inner Fire igniting the glow forcing the Goblins within that chamber to collapse in blindness. Rinbur laughs as the group run through the army of Goblins who could not see them due to the light.

The Fellowship run towards the exit of Moria where they the edge of the Goblins' who lost their sight were able to somewhat recover only to get knocked out the way before they realise what was happening. The Goblins behind them were still blind as the Fellowship reached the stairs leading over a deep pit and quickly ran down the steps until a rock suddenly collapsed on the walkway ahead causing a chunk of stairs to fall and Bolomir needing to be saved again from almost falling to his doom. Everyone then had to be careful as arrows started flying towards them from a distance.

Legolas, Aragon, Merry and Rinbur returned fire the best they could before Bolomir and Gandalf jumped across followed by Legolas, Merry, Pippin and Gerald jumping across next. Gimli made a statement of 'No one throws a Dwarf' before heading to jump only for Rinbur to literally kick him across safely. Rinbur and Sam went next leaving Frodo and Aragon last to jump across when the gap grew due to stones falling off and the pillar holding the stairs they were on started to shake. Aragon and Frodo managed to sway the large Pillar back and forth before they managed to leap across at the stairs behind them fell down the pit. They ran down the steps avoiding steps. Rinbur got annoyed and figured that they already had all the goblins in the Mines after them, and pointed his crossbow at the wall to the side and aloud a purple ring on his right hand to glow and shifted the power into the Crossbow and pulled the trigger sending a single purple bolt through the air where it hit nothing much to Legolas and Gimli's amusement until it suddenly exploded violently killed a large number of Goblin Archers.

Rinbur looks at the two and says, "Yeah I am a The Goblins' Natural Predator," and smiles with humour before they continue running and Rinbur notices the light from the castle area growing dim and says, "We need to move, the Inner Fire is growing dim."

Gimli simply says, "Why is it failing?"

"The Ingot only crashed into the Fire, The actual crystal's holder is meant to touch a holder that is made of Mithril causing it to glow," Rinbur states as the light fails and the group increases their pace before Rinbur says, "Plus it took twenty Dwarfs to lift the damn thing into place." With that they travel into the next chamber only to be stopped by an army of Goblins.

They were surrounded and the only reason they were not being killed was because of Gandalf, Aragon and Rinburs' swords glowing, Rinbur having draw his smaller sword to achieve it. Gerald speaks to explain what happened simply, "We are fucked," Rinbur nodded in agreement before loud footsteps were heard in the distance.

They looked in the opposite direction that they were heading as the Goblins started running for their hiding spots as a red light appeared in the distance through a doorway. Gandalf closed his eyes and breathed deeply to calm the fear that grows within himself before he speaks, "The Balrog, Ancient Demon of Fire and Shadow," he turns around and says, "Quickly to the bridge of Khazad Dum," everyone but Aragon started to run to the bridge in the distance. Gandalf grabs Aragon's arm and says, "This is not a creature you can fight and protect Frodo. GO!" and the two started running after the rest of the Fellowship. They ran through the last chamber as the path behind them started to alight with fire as they ran through the chamber towards the Bridge in the distance.

They ran through the chamber and actually having to run down another set of steps as the fire through the chamber. Gandalf had even ditched his own hat and pack as they ran, everyone had ditched the majority of their gear except Sam, who refused to give up his supplies for reasons he would later explain that they needed these supplies from the Shire.

They ran a good distance before the Goblins in the distance started shooting arrows at the Fellowship. In response Rinbur's purple ring glowed again and he aimed at the general direction of the Goblins and pulled the trigger of his Crossbow and fired a single glowing bolt that exploded. The Goblins stepped back long enough for the fellowship to get to the bridge as the Fellowship managed to see the Balrog entering the room. A black body with flame spewing from orifices and behind the creature, with demon horns, flaming wings and a tail stepping into sight of the Bridge. Rinbur faced the creature as the Fellowship crossed, while he pulled out a glass vial filled with black powder and started pouring a large quantity of the powder along with a couple more vials and proceeded to leave them in the pile before Gandalf grabbed him and shouts, "Cross the bridge now."

"Not going to work if the Balrog follows us across the bridge," Rinbur counters before leaving more of the vials and then proceeded to smash another glass bottle of black powder but this one filled with red and bronze specks of dust along that starting point of the bridge. Rinbur was then yanked forward and sent across ahead of Gandalf. Rinbur reached the other side of the Bridge before turning and seeing Gandalf standing in the middle of the bridge. Rinbur, "What are you doing!?" Gandalf looked back for a moment with a look of regret before facing the Balrog, as it stepped closer. Rinbur shouts, "COME ACROSS YOU STUPID OLD MAN!"

Gandalf did not listen instead started chanting creating more light to defend himself. The Balrog took the first step on the bridge, right on the powder Rinbur left behind causing a powerful and bright explosion while the red and bronze flecks of powder melted their way through the bridge weakening that side of the bridge. Rinbur went up the stairs a bit and aimed at the Balrog with his Crossbow and opened fire with Purple bolts that actually managed to disrupt the Blarog long enough for Gandalf to suddenly shout, "YOU! SHALL! NOT! PASS!" and destroyed the first half of the bridge causing the Balrog to fall down into the pit below. Gandalf then made a mistake, he turned his back on the defeated monsters only for a flaming whip to extends through the air and gripped Gandalf's ankle. Gandalf was forced to catch the edge of the broken bridge and Rinbur ran back down the bridge to save Gandalf only for Gandalf to say, "RUN YOU FOOLS!" before falling into the pit with the Balrog. Rinbur reached the edge of the broken bridge and found Gandalf out of his reach.

Rinbur was in shock as Gerald returned for him and pulled him back across the bridge Rinbur not even noticing the Goblin arrow pierced his shoulder but he did not pay attention to that. He was led with the rest of the Fellowship as they ran out the Mines or Moria, a task that was difficult due to the fresh grief.

The Fellowship eventually reached the surface, everyone but, Aragon, Gerakd and Rinbur were standing Rinbur just staring into the distance. Rinbur then started to slowly walk forward as Aragon gets everyone moving to avoid the Goblins that would come after them. Rinbur just simply walks along the path without saying a word.

:End of Chapter two:
