<<--let's move-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*stares at Elrond. finally sighs.* I guess you're right. I have traveled long and far to come here and the hour grows late. It would be wise for me to stay and rest. Please, Elrond, send some of your elves out as soon as possible. I can't shake the feeling that something evil is going to happen to Celeborn.

<<--tired, scared, confused-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*glares at Wormtongue.* What, pray tell, brings you way out here? *narrows her eyes.* Tell me Wormtongue, were you following me? And for what purpose?

<<--very mistrustful-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles at Bilbo.* I agree. We should rest. But, *looks around* I don't think we should build a fire. There is something foul in the air. I can feel it.

<<--let's keep it dark-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles at the elf.* Well the hour grows late and we still have a long way to travel. *whispers something in Shadowfax's ear. straightens up.* Let's ride to Rivendell.

<<--going to see Elrond-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles at the dwarf.* i agree, it's late and i too am tired. *looks around* why this is a good place to spend the night. *smiles up at Legolas* we shall have a byte to eat and then let's get a good night's sleep.

<<--i'm hungry and sleepy-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*gives Aragorn and her brothers a worried look* There is something fell in the air. It is not upon us, nor do I think it seeks us. But it is far too close for comfort. Indeed, I think it wise to stay here for a while, at least until this evil passes. It's not something I wish to encounter if I can help it. *stays attuned to the feeling*

<<--nervous and alert-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*hears Sauron's command* It issss clossseee.... *rides swiftly, just passing the city of Bree* But where? I smell it somewhere nearby...

<<--kind of close-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Oh! Hroom Hum! My dear lady, even you are guilty of haste! *laughs* I wouldn't dare leave your side, not after making a promise to Tom Bombadil. My dear, I can keep you safe. If you are not safe with me, nothing under the sun will protect you. But the hour does grow late, and I wonder... are you tired? I shall take you to my home. Tomorrow there will be time for an entmoot. All things come in time, of course.... *starts mumbling*

<<--don't leave me, lady.-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*shoots Frodo a mournful look* No fire.... *sighs* Well, I guess I can understand that, Master Frodo. *brightens* Oh! I think there may be mushrooms around here! *looks at Merry and Pippin* Let's look around for some! *grins at Rose* Don't you worry Rosie, I'll have a dinner ready for you yet! *starts rustling around in the bushes*

<<--hobbits love mushrooms!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles at Biblo* That sounds like a very interesting book. I shall read it once you have it finished. *notices that is it very dark and stops* Bilbo, could we stop for awhile? I'm rather tired from today's journey. *eyes Legolas* I'm sure the elf would agree.

<<--Dwarves don't like to walk so much-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

I do not want to be in the way. I shall leave then. It would be for the best for both of us, 'O kind and wise Treebeard. I am friends with the birds and they can easily guide me to a safer place. If you think this is wise, then I shall do so.

<<--I do not want to get in the way-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*grabs the reigns of Eowyn's horse* Come on son, I don't trust that man. *walks back to the group and stares at Wormtongue* My lady, we have brought your horse back.

<<--I don't trust him...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Ah, greetings. I am Eomer. *gives Famarir a tight grin* I'm afraid we traveled a bit to far from our borders. We noticed foul dealings here and decided to investigate it. *looks about* Gonder has it's men out here. Probably to protect their borders from Mordor as well. I need to tell Theoden-King of this. *stares blankly for a bit* Sorry. We are sorry for intruding on your lands. Do you need any assistance?

<<--this isn't good news for Rohan-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

faramir#6 *smiles* Filbert is it? That's a nice name. *sees the hobbit's worried experession.* Don't fret little man. *listens to what Faramir says. leans close to the hobbit* The Captain is right. Our Stewart does indeed like halflings.

<<--stop worrying, you're okay-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

boromir#1 *siffens at the appearance of Wormtongue. gives him a look of mistrust and puts his hand on the hilt of his sword.*

<<--i don't like you-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*breathes a huge sigh of relief as the king of the ring wraith leaves.* why did sauron send him to me? why does he think i would betray him? *looks about nervously* someone must be filling his head with lies. who could do such a thing...WORMTONUE!

<<--suspcious-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles at Eowyn.* Do not worry about your horse, my lady Eowyn. I'm sure that he will return shortly. *snaps his head as Wormtongue emerges from the bushes. frowns at the man's sudden outburst. looks at Eowyn.* My lady, do you know this..this man?

<<--eh? who are you?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*hears Eowyn's voice faintly coming from the bushes. glowers and turns to follow her voice. finally reaches her. looks at the others.* What have you fiends done to my lady?

<<--roaring-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*lets out a long sigh* I guess you're right Pippin. *smiles at Rose.* We shall stop and rest here. *goes and sits down in a small clearing.* We shall grab a bite to eat, but mind you, whatever we eat, we eat it raw. There's not to be a fire. Understand?

<<--no campfires-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*looks at Sam* I must agree with Mr. Pipin here. It's very late and I, too am a bit hungry. *looks down* besides that, we've been walking so much that my feet hurt.

<<--wants to stop-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*stares at Sauruman for a long moment, then hears the command from Sauron* Just remember, WIZARD, that your days will be over if you betray your master. *curls his fingers away from the sword hilt* No matter what you do, your death will find you in the end if you decide to do that. *turns with a flourish and exits the tower, already trying to sniff out the ring*

<<--obeying orders!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sighs again* Do not have such an expression, halfing. Richard shall keep an eye on you until you can be brought before my father, the Steward, as all who tresspass are. *smiles* Do not fret so. He has a fondness for halfings. Now, *looks at the messenger* I shall meet with your lord, Eomer. *rides over to Eomer and his men* Greetings, Riders of Rohan! You have traveled close to darkness, coming this far into the borders of Gondor. What brings you here?

<<--sheesh! What's next?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Celeborn- Ah! Your highness! Wait! *quickly follows his leader* Shouldn't you summon assistance, my lord?

<<--yikes! Don't go off alone!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*quickly joins Elrohir* What is it? *sees the butterfly* You're right! This is NOT an ordinary butterfly. *catches it in his hand and hears Gandalf's voice speaking* "There are hobbits heading to Bree. It is vital you meet them there. They are on a quest of dire importance." *the butterfly fades into mist* Ah... It's gone! *closes his eyes* I think I know what quest they are on. *looks at the three elfin siblings* We are not far from Bree. However, I still do not think it is wise to continue on without a few hours rest. *thinks for a moment* We will ride out to Bree at midnight. That will allow us to regather our strength.

<<--has a plan!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Gandalf- Yes of course I shall come with you to Rivendell! *hunches down on his horse and gets ready to ride with Gandalf once more* Wow! I never thought I would be traveling with the famous Mithrandir! This is incredible!!

<<--excited-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Guardians? Never heard of that story Merry. Though, you seem to know them all. *feels his stomach growling and walks over to Frodo* Uh, Frodo. Could we get a bite to eat somewhere? It is rather late..very late for supper I might add. Besides we won't get to Bree tonight, so could we just rest?

<<--I'm hungry!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles back at Richard* I'm called..uh..*ponders for a minute*..I'm Filibert Gagee from Tookbank! At least I remember my own name! *quiets down after he spots Faramir and listen about a death penatly* Oh no.. *looks worriedly at Richard*

<<--help! I don't to die!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sits and stares at the moon* How is it that there can be such evil in the land? *sighs and shakes his head* I don't understand it... *spots a strange butterfly and breaks out of his thoughts* That's no ordinary butterfly! Aragorn! Quick, come over here. There is something you should see.

<<--I see a magic butterfly!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Are you alright, my lady? *hears her plea and narrows his eyes and sighs* I'm afraid it is too dangerous for such a journey. Are you absoulety sure that Celborn is in danger? If he is, I shall send some of my elves to go out and help him.

<<--I would hate myself if I sent you out there...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*looks into the seeing waters and sees the love of his life. lets out a sigh of relief.* she looks worried, but unharmed. she has made it to Rivendell. i can relax. i know that she is in good hands. *hears running feet of one of his elves. looks at him while the elf tells him that the goblins have dared to come to the borders of his woods. grabs his arrows and starts running.*

<<--die you horrible things!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*paces back and forth inside Elrond's home.* i know Elrond has sent the elves, but i still have a bad feeling about this. why do i suddenly feel that my dear Celeborn is now in danger? *rushes out of the room and bumps into Elrond. looks fearfully at him.* Oh no! My..my Lord Celeborn! He's in danger! I must leave! I must go back!

<<--yikes-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*calms down some as she looks at both Tom and Boromir.* I'm..I'm sorry for being so..so..suspcious, but..*looks that the covered body of the troll.* It isn't everyday that one encounters such a beast. I will tell my uncle, Theoden, Lord of Rohan, of what you did today. You shall not go unrewarded.

<<--you guys are heros!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*eyes widen at what the elf told him.* Lord Celeborn sent you? Now that is indeed surprising. *smiles* I know that the lovely Lady of the Wood, Galadriel, had visions, but i didn't you Celeborn had them too. *sighs* I must get to Bree, but I fear that I will be too late to meet with the hobbits. Let's see. *gets off from Shadowfax and uses his staff. looks into the strange mist.* Ah ha! I see Aragorn along with Elrond's children are near Bree. I shall try to send them a message about the hobbits. *mutters some strange words and the mist turns into a butterfly that quickly flutters away. Hops back onto his horse.* Will you accompany me to Rivendell? I fear that we are needed there.

<<--we're going to rivendell-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*raises an eyebrow at what Bilbo told the dwarf, but says nothing. keeps on walking. notices that it is getting pretty dark.* i'm surprised that the hobbit is willing to walk this long and in the dark, yet. *smiles as Bilbo continues to babble to the dwarf.* perhaps he hasn't noticed because he is too busy chattering away about that book of his. but i must admit, it does sound interesting. i hope i will be able to read it one day.

<<--walking along-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles at the dwarf as they walk.* I guess that's wise that you should not travel all the way to Rivendell. But I know Elrond. Even though he doesn't particularlly like dwarves, he would welcome you into his home. I'm going there to finish my book. I wrote one you know. It's called There and Back Again. It's about all sorts of adventures that I encountered when I was a younger hobbit...

<<--jabbering about his book-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*keeps a close watch on the doings of Gondor* The country has not the strength to rise against me. Even if they join with Rohan, they don't stand a chance against my armies. *smiles* So I can focus my energy more on getting my ring. Once I have that again, I won't even have to think twice about pathetic little worms like Gondor and Rohan. *sends a message to the riders* THE RING! BRING IT TO ME!

<<--I want it NOW!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*notices Frodo's rush* He's worried about more of those black monsters finding us... I don't blame him. But I somehow doubt that's what he meant when he mentioned this journey being dangerous... I have a bad feeling there are things worse than that black creature lurking in dark places. *takes ahold of Rose's arm* Well, now you've been on a boat, Rosie!

<<--feigning cheerfulness-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Eomer! I know that name. He is of Rohan, as are you, correct? I recognize your steed. You have wandered far into Gondor, on the edge of the land of shadow. What could bring you to do this? Ah, but I shall ride with you and ask your lord of these matters. *sees Richard approaching* Good, we are all accounted for. *eyes the companion Richard has with him* More wanderers in our land? *frowns* You do realize, *looks back to the messenger* That tresspassing here means death?

<<--siiiiiiigh....-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

It is alright dear lady. As you can tell the dwarves have found your horse and should bring him back shortly. *smiles as Tom comforts her* He's right? What is she doing so far from home? That's odd...hmmmm. *nods his head at his man* Thank you for covering that up.

<<--also comforting-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Ah, that brought back memories! I love the Brandywine river. *hears Frodo talking about they need to move on* You are correct Frodo, Bree is in that direction, but first we must pass through the old forest. *they start to walk and he continues to babbler* Oh the stories about the this wood! They say that long ago elves used to live here. But they left..but noone nows why. *stares at the trees and walks over to Sam and Rose* They also say there is an Echanted man and his wife that live here. They are suppose to be the guardians. I hope we meet them!

<<--jabbering-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

You actually did a good job! *licks his lips and smacks the orc on the ground* Now get up. *looks at the newest orcs* We HATE trees! We must DESTROY treesss!! Pull their roots! Chop them up!!! BURN THEM TO THE GROUND! *waves his hands in the air and yells a battle cry*

<<--kill the trees!!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*stares hard at Wormtongue* What a foul creature this is. But he knows the lady, this horse belongs to. We have done nothing to the fair owner of this horse. I have slain a foul troll to make sure no harm would come to her. I don't like your accusations sir. *fingers his axe* But she is just yonder, with Boromir, son of the Steward of Gondor. That should shut him up.

<<--we haven't done a thing!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Ugluk#1 *grins as he sees the original orc coming through the trees.* good, i won't get killed. *eyes widen and spirirts soar seeing the rest of the orc army coming right after the original orc.*

<<--ha! we're undefeatable now!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Saruman#1 *runs down the caverns and gathers the others.* COME! We have been summoned! *runs, just paces behind the other orc, to where Ugluk is. stops as the other orc tells Ugluk that they are there.*

<<--500 strong-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*runs as fast as he can back to Ugluk* My loooord. Ssssssaruman issss ssssending five hundred more orcs. They are right behind me.*

<<--re-inforcements are on their way-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

faramir#6 *smiles at the hobbit.* Come my friend. I am called Richard. Do you remember your name?

<<--taking the hobbit back to faramir-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

faramir#4 *glowers.* My Lord! Someone comes! *draws his sword, but hears his greetings. lowers it and allows the rider to draw near. hears what he said. looks at faramir.*

<<--is his friend or foe?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

boromir#1 *bows polietly at Eowyn.* I also want to assure you my lady, that you have nothing to fear from us. *takes off his cloak and covers the troll so she can't see it.*

<<--being a gentleman-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

#1-Eomer Yes my Lord! *bows to Eomer and mounts his horse. rides to the supply tower. shouts as soon as he get within earshot.* Greeting! I am a friend. *goes closer. rides up to Faramir.* My Lord, I bring you greetings from Eomer. He is just over there. *points.* We are friends!

<<--don't attack us-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*trembles with fear at the sight of the King Dark Rider.* I..I assure you that I have no intention of betraying Saron. Your master is also my master.

<<--yikes-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*goes over to Eowyn and takes her hand, trying to steady her on her feet.* Now, now, my dear. Don't look over that way. *steers her away from the body of the dead troll* So your name is Eowyn and you're from Rohan. Well, well, well. *gives her a bright smile.* I know of Rohan. You're kind of far from home and to be riding out this late aren't you?

<<--trying to comfort Eowyn-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*rides hard. sees Eowyn's horse standing by itself.* Oh no! something has happened to my love. *spurs his horse on. reaches Eowyn's horse just as the dwarfs do. glowers at them.* What have you fiends done with Eowyn?

<<--ready to fight-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles as Sam helps her on to the raft.* You know, this is the first time that I've been on the water. *looks at the other hobbits.* Why I've never been fishing and now look at me! Traveling on a river. *nevously plays with the hem of her apron.* I hope there aren't any big fish around here. *looks back at Sam.* I've heard stories that there are fish so big, that they could swallow a hobbit whole. *swallows hard and peers into the water. is much relieved when they get to the other side.*

<<--whew-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*looks nervously around as they cross the Brandywine.* i don't like this. we are out in the open. defenseless if attacked. *breathes a sigh of relief when they cross the river undisturbed. gets off the raft. looks at the others.* i believe Bree is this way. night is falling. we must hurry. *starts to rush*

<<--i don't like being out in the dark-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*reaches Isenguard* Ssssss... *slips up to Sauruman* SILENCE, Wizard. *looms up to full height before him* I bring tidings from the Dark Lord. *grips the hilt of the sword* You have come close to overstepping your boundaries. I must remind you of your loyalty to the Master, Sauron.

<<--deadly-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*narrows his eyes and listens* I know that sound. There are evil creatures befouling my beautiful forests. I must summon the other ents. We can easily overthrow them. *looks at Goldberry* But I do not know where you would be safe, if we attacked them. You would most certainly be a target for those horrible trolls and orcs.

<<--troubled-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Gandalf #1~ Well, Lord Celeborn of the Golden Wood, Lothlorien sent me to warn you not to meet with Saruman. He had seen that the white wizard is no longer an ally to those who oppose the dark forces building in Mordor. But it seems I was a bit too late... *trails off and eyes Gandalf* What do you want to do now, Mithrandir?

<<--What comes next?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Ah, it looks like my son has done a fine job destroying that monster. *smiles at Eowyn and pats Gimli on the shoulder* Anyway, madam, we shall look for your horse. He couldn't have ran very far. *jumps over the troll's carcuss and scours the land* Aha! There he is! He is onto of that hill, perhaps waiting for you.

<<--found your horse madam.-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Ok, I will do that. You must rest, for I fear this has greatly tired you. *looks at the elf beside him* Please inform the other elves what Lady Galadriel has said. We must send elves to the borders. Tell them to keep an eye out for some hobbits. Please hurry, time is crucial.

<<--relaying the message-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*follows Treebeard into the heart of Fangorn* I have forgotten how lovely it is here. *smiles and starts to sing a little tune, but pauses when she hears something rustling* Ah? What is that noise? I don't like it. *narrows eyes* Perhaps we should move away?

<<--I think it's trouble-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Aye, no. I'm afraid I wouldn't be journeying that far. Besides it is the city of the elves, and I would be well..misplaced. I'm traveling to the Misty Mountains, to meet with Gloin. *smiles at both of them* But I will travel with you, until you reach your destination. Then I shall continue on mine.

<<--I'm going to the Misty Mountains!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*after a few more minutes, can breath normally again. looks at his elves.* Something has happened to Galadriel! I know that it is unusual, but I must consult with seeing mirror. *heads towards the seeing waters.*

<<--must know about galadriel-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sees the dwarf and heart gets stuck in her throat. can only stare at him. realizes that someone who said his name is tom has joined the dwarf. tries to get to her feet, but is shaky. sees another dwarf and a strange man. wishes she had stayed home* I..I'm..I'm Eowyn...I'm from Rohan. My..my...horse...my horse has fled. I must find him so I can get back home. *looks around for her horse, avoid looking at the troll's dead body.*

<<--very, VERY nervous-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*slowly comes too. sees Elrond.* Wha...what happened? *remembers her vision. bolts upright* Elrond, you must send some elves to the borders of Rivendell. Once there, they must wait for hobbits! Hobbits will be coming here, but the dark riders will be chasing them. You must send your elves to meet them and ensure that they make it here safely.

<<--the hobbits are coming!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

I'm called Legolas. I'm from Mirkwood. I am escorting Mr. Baggins to Rivendell. Are you going there too?

<<--i doubt a dwarf would be welcomed-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*rides shadowfax until they are deep into the woods. dares to stop. looks back at the elf.* I'm grateful for your assistance back at Orcthanac. But tell me my friend, how did you know I was there?

<<--what brought you here?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Welcome Loin Stormeye! I am very pleased to meet you. my name is Bilbo Baggins! I'm on my way to Rivendell to live with the elves there. Elrond is a very dear friend of mine and he would welcome me into his home. I'm sure he would welcome you too.

<<--talking and walking-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*writhes and slithers a ways back from Shelob* They are that way, they are! *waves a bony arm in their direction* They tried to hurt us, they did, but the lovely lady can get them! Over there!! Yessss! There!!!

<<--causing trouble-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Gandalf#1- *having trouble keeping up with Gandalf* He's riding Shadowfax! No wonder his steed is so much faster than mine! He must be riding slower that usual just so that I won't get lost behind him...

<<--wow, I'm with a famous wizard on a famous horse...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*gets on the raft, helping Rose along too* It's been a long time since I took a raft anywhere... But at least we're on our way! *smiles* I'm sure that we'll get to Bree in no time, Rosie! I just hope we get there alive...

<<--on the water...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Oh thank you kind sir! I think I'm very very lost! Are we far from The Shire? *looks around and sighs* Because I don't remember any of this. I don't even remember how I got here..

<<--I have amensia-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*rolls his eyes at Pippin* You are so silly. We shall take the raft of course! *walks over to a raft tied to a dock* It's how I travel along you know. *smiles at Frodo, Sam and Rose* Well, all aboard!

<<--I have a raft!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*crawls out and hisses* Wheeerrrre isss thatttt thingg? *spots Gollum and crawls towards him* Wheree...isss myyy human meaataat??

<<--mad and hungry-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*goes over to a random human* I think we need to go over there. *squints and sees several riders* Halt! Who goes there? *looks at the random human* I do not think they heard me. Please ride out and tell me who they are. I hope they aren't foes...

<<--I think I've spotted some people by a supply tower-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*watches Gimli and Tom run off* Come on men! Let us follow! *mounts on his horse and offers a hand to Gloin* Need a hand? *pulls him up and rides towards the scream. spots Gimli, Tom and a woman* What happened here? Is everything alright?

Wow! Cool layout! I can't wait until the Two Towers film comes out! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

<<--what happened here?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*gives Sam a broad smile* Of course I ate first suppper! I wouldn't forget. It's just that all this traveling makes me hungry. *walks along and sees the Brandywine river* Uh, Merry how are we going to cross? Swim? I hope not...

<<--I don't think Sam can swim...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
