Isildur's chronicles

Gandalf researchs in Gondor

Gandalf:

(looks through the library in the White City, finds the manuscript of Isildur's tale) The year 3434 of the Second Age. Here follows the account of Isildur, High King of Gondor, and the finding of the Ring of Power. It has come to me, the One Ring. It shall be an heirloom of my kingdom. All those who follow in my bloodline shall be bound to its fate, for I will risk no hurt to the Ring. It is precious to me, though I buy it with a great pain.
The markings upon the band begin to fade, the writing which at first was as clear as red flame has all but disappeared, a secret now that only fire can tell.

­­A hobbit cutting wood is startled by a dark rider. His dog sensibly retreats into the house.­­

Nazgûl:

Shire. Baggins.

Hobbit:

There's no Bagginses around here. They're all up in Hobbitton. That way!

­­He follows his dog as the rider turns toward Hobbitton.­­
