Pippin, however, forestalled him by appearing from his hiding place behind the door and asking of the room at large, "Will someone please explain to me what is going on?" Finding Elrond unlikely to answer, Frodo turned to Gandalf. As Frodo watched, Elrond fiercely embraced the dark-haired elf, smiling in a way that was very much at odds with all of the expressions Frodo had seen him wear in the past. One had night-dark hair and, but for the light that glowed in his eyes, might well have been an elf of Imladris, but the other, who had spoken first, seemed, in the bright sunlight of that autumn day, to be crowned with flame. Curse him and all his folk to the Void!"Īfter this strange outburst, he was silent again for a moment, then nodded curtly but courteously to Frodo before turning to the room at large, saying, "My father might have unmade this thing, but I cannot, for greater strength went into its making than I have ever possessed." Then his tone lightened, though his face did not, and he added, "For once, it would seem, we shall all wish that my father was here!"Īs Curufin seemed to have no further interest in speaking with him, Frodo turned to Elrond for an explanation, but found that he was engrossed in a conversation with two of the other strangers. It does not surprise me: my father’s enemy was never subtle, but he was always too strong for us. Then he said, as though to himself, in a soft voice, "He stole all his methods from my son! Nevertheless, though he was careless, his power was greater than any elf’s. Curufin did not move his hand to take it, but gazed upon it intently, for a few moments. Do you permit me to examine it?"įrodo had several questions, but they all wanted to come out at once, so wordlessly he held forth the Ring once again. One of the strangers strode swiftly across the room to kneel before Frodo, and said, "It may be that I have the power to destroy this thing, great though its evil is. The one who led them was the tallest, and he bowed to Elrond before saying, "Curufin. They were tall even by the standards of the Eldar, and all seemed, to Frodo’s eyes, to burn with a white flame fiercer even than Glorfindel’s. He turned to take stock of them, and saw that they were Elves, but unlike the merry folk of the woodlands he knew best or even the grave loremasters of Rivendell. Frodo looked to Gandalf, and found that he too stood as though frozen, shocked into silence by the strangers. The Elves of Rivendell seemed struck dumb by the apparitions who now entered the room. "I have not the strength," said Elrond "neither have they."Īt that moment, a clear voice said from the doorway, "But perhaps we have." "…But have they the strength, have here we the strength to withstand the Enemy, the coming of Sauron at the last, when all else is overthrown?"
