The door of the meeting room swung inward, and Gondolin strod in. Noticing the elf and ranger in the midst of several hobbits, he knew that he had come to the right room. The others were intent on what the elf was saying, and did not even notice his entrance. He sat and listened to here speech.
Quote:
"I speak of a herb, a plant called the Ainereg, that grows only in one place in Middle- Earth: in Fangorn Forest. You Halflings may have never heard of it, and that is good, because if you had, you would not dare to go there. Yet I tell you, you have naught to fear. Now, I ask again, will you come with me, and seek hope for your
families, and your homes. Will you follow me?"

The company was silent for a moment. Gondolin was the first to speak. "Good folk of Bree and the Shire, my name is Gondolin. I am an elf from Rivendell. I was scouting along the east road when I came to a horrid stench. Orcs, I thought. After investigating, I found a dead and decaying sheep corpes, lying near the road. obviously, it had drug itself away from the fields and died there. Thus, I came here to find out more about this mysterious illness. As for the Ainereg, if they are the cure, I know little about them. I have travelled to Fangorn many tiimes, but have never seen this strange breed of flower. But, in good concious, I feel that it is my duty to lend my sword, knives and bow in the service of this company, for the good of Eriador."
