Okay, I said short, but I really mean short. It probably won't be too good, but I'd like to try it.

There the little Hobbit stood. He could oversee everything on the top of the white city. He sighted, and let the wind blow through his curly hairs. He tried to think of everything that happend since.... since he left the Shire. How long was it ago? A few months? Probably. He remembered the Elves that he, Frodo and Sam met on their way to Frodo's new house. And with that, he remembered the biggest mistake he ever made. Or was it the best thing he'd ever done? He couldn't tell. He also couldn't see why he went on the journey. But he could remember what happpend. And how it changed him.

Like the Old Forrest. From the second he stepped in there, he knew he made a mistake. The Hobbit had be so scared, that it was hardly possible for him to breathe. He kept on looking over his shoulder, shivering all the time.

And then, he met Tom Bombadil, and he felt far more strength in him again. And the strength stayed with him for some days, and it was the reason that he trusted Strider faster then Frodo, Sam and Merry did. And he had more hope that they would come to Rivendell unharmed then the others. He only couldn't show it. He just couldn't . He still didn't know why. But, how much hope he had, Frodo got hurt by a Morgul Blade. Still, the young Hobbit believed that Frodo would have strength to get to Elrond's house. And Frodo had got there, and got well again, and he danced and sung and smiled and laughed like he did in Hobbiton. And for one minute, the Hobbit thought that their queste would be ended. But no.... He ruined it for himself once again.

He went further with a Fellowship, trying to reach the Mountain of Fire before it was too late. And Elrond's and Gandalf's words didn't matter, because how dangerous it would be, he would go with them. Al the way South. The first few weeks were going good, even better then they expeced. They didn't see any of the enemy's spys, even Legolas didn't see a thing. And that says a lot!

Anyways. Then, troubles came. Gandalf and Aragorn decided to take the Pass of Caradhas. For the Hobbit and his Halfling-friends, it almost got to a fight of life and death. A snowstrom came. The wind felt like the breath of the coldest ice, and the snow that it carried, made it impossible for him to see anything. He thought he knew what cold was, but he didn't. Not until those days, on Caradhas. He thought he knew the winter, and the snow, and the cold winds that blew. Boromir had to keep the Hobbit and Merry close to him, and still his friends where praying that the cold wouldn't kill him.

He shivered, though the sun was warm in Gondor. He closed his eyes, as he got back to his adventures.

"Pippin Took!" He heard someone calling. He turned around to see Gandalf. "Yes?" Pippin answered. "I told you to stay inside." The wizard said.
"I'm sorry, but it is long since I saw sun and hope on the same day." He apologized. "I was just thinking about our yournee." He was silent for a minute. "There are a few things that I still don't understand." Gandalf smiled. "Like what?"
"Well, like the stone in Moria." Pippin started. "I mean, I didn't knew it was in my hand, I only knew that I let it drop. It was like, well like not me, for some funny reason."
"Those thing happen to everyone," Gandalf said. "However, you had a good punishment for it." Pippin nodded. The goblings and the balrog...
"And then you fell." Pippin said slowly. "So that was my fault too..."
The wizard shoke his head. "It was no ones fault. It was destiny, Peregrin, destiny. I thought you know a lot more about that now? After everything you've seen?"
"I do! But I.. well... ah, never mind." He shook his head. "Do you need me for something?"
"No, not really."
"Oh. Okay than."

The wizard walked away, and the Hobbit was alone again. He missed his best friend Merry more and more every minute. If he only hadn't looked in that Palantir....
He looked down from where he stood, and saw the Anduin flowing south. He once had heard that there was a beautiful country east of it, just outside Mordor, called Ithilien. For some reason, Pippin had to think of the Elves of Lorien When he looked in the direction of Ithilien. But Ithilien took his thoughts to Mordor, and Frodo and Sam, and the Ring. Would they still be alive? Would they be free? Could Frodo still take care of the Ring? A lot of questions flew through his mind. He knew he must have Elven-eyes if he wanted to look close to Mordor. And even than, it would have been imposible to see his friends.
"Another Hobbit?!" Pippin turned around as fast as he could. There was a man standing in front of him. He held a large bow in his hand.
"What do you mean?" Pippin asked, scared of the bow.
"I met two Hobbits in Ithilien some days ago." The man told him. "They were going to Mordor. I didn't even know Hobbits excisted! What's your name?"
"Peregrin Took. Two Hobbits, you said?" Pippin asked. The man nodded. "Frodo!" Pippin said smiling. "And Sam!"
The man stared at him in amazement. "You know them?" He asked. "Yes." The Hobbit said. "They're my friends. How are they? Were they alright? Please say they were..."
He laughed. "Okay then. They were really doing fine. You must be one of the Hobbits that Frodo told me about. But where is your friend then?"
Pippin sighted. "I wish I knew that. He could be in Rohan, or almost here, or somewhere else. Or maybe even in the Shire!"
"I'm very sorry." The man said. "I wish I could help you. But you must know more about my brother's death?"
"Your brother?"
"Boromir." The man said. "Come with me, to my father. He'll be waiting for news about his son."
