When

the

Dwarf

had

a

small

bright

blaze

going

,

the

three

companions

drew

close

to

it

and

sat

together

,

shrouding

the

light

with

their

hooded

forms

.

Legolas

looked

up

at

the

boughs

of

the

tree

reaching

out

above

them

.

'

Look

!

'

he

said

.

'

The

tree

is

glad

of

the

fire

!

'

It

may

have

been

that

the

dancing

shadows

tricked

their

eyes

,

but

certainly

to

each

of

the

companions

the

boughs

appeared

to

be

bending

this

way

and

that

so

as

to

come

above

the

flames

,

while

the

upper

branches

were

stooping

down

;

the

brown

leaves

now

stood

out

stiff

,

and

rubbed

together

like

many

cold

cracked

hands

taking

comfort

in

the

warmth

.

There

was

a

silence

,

for

suddenly

the

dark

and

unknown

forest

,

so

near

at

hand

,

made

itself

felt

as

a

great

brooding

presence

,

full

of

secret

purpose

.

After

a

while

Legolas

spoke

again

.

'

Celeborn

warned

us

not

to

go

far

into

Fangorn

,

'

he

said

.

'D

o

you

know

why

,

Aragorn

?

What

are

the

fables

of

the

forest

that

Boromir

had

heard

?

'

'

I

have

heard

many

tales

in

Gondor

and

elsewhere

,

'

said

Aragorn

,

'

but

if

it

were

not

for

the

words

of

Celeborn

I

should

deem

them

only

fables

that

Men

have

made

as

true

knowledge

fades

.

I

had

thought

of

asking

you

what

was

the

truth

of

the

matter

.

And

if

an

Elf

of

the

Wood

does

not

know

,

how

shall

a

Man

answer

?

'

'

You

have

journeyed

further

than

I

,

'

said

Legolas

.

'

I

have

heard

nothing

of

this

in

my

own

land

,

save

only

songs

that

tell

how

the

Onodrim

,

that

Men

call

Ents

,

dwelt

there

long

ago

;

for

Fangorn

is

old

,

old

even

as

the

Elves

would

reckon

it

.

'

'

Yes

,

it

is

old

,

'

said

Aragorn

,

'

as

old

as

the

forest

by

the

Barrow-downs

,

and

it

is

far

greater

.

Elrond

says

that

the

two

are

akin

,

the

last

strongholds

of

the

mighty

woods

of

the

Elder

Days

,

in

which

the

Firstborn

roamed

while

Men

still

slept

.

Yet

Fangorn

holds

some

secret

of

its

own

.

What

it

is

I

do

not

know

.

'

'

And

I

do

not

wish

to

know

,

'

said

Gimli

.

'

Let

nothing

that

dwells

in

Fangorn

be

troubled

on

my

account

!

'

They

now

drew

lots

for

the

watches

,

and

the

lot

for

the

first

watch

fell

to

Gimli

.

The

others

lay

down

.

Almost

at

once

sleep

laid

hold

on

them

.

'

Gimli

!

'

said

Aragorn

drowsily

.
