Rescue Initiated

“Sweet Valar! Gandalf, is there any means by which they might have survived that?” Aragorn called over the roars of the mountain’s destruction into the Wizard’s ear, indicating the torment of Mount Doom.

“He knew from the first that it could come to this. He was willing to sacrifice himself for this purpose.

“But,” Gandalf continued, “I do not wish for that sacrifice to go unrewarded. He should be able to see the benefits of his choices. I will seek them, Frodo, Sam, and Gollum. Be ready, Aragorn!”

He ran forward as a great Eagle stooped to take him up.

I'm so glad Gandalf saved them.

As am I, although we know that it was most unlikely that Gollum would have survived the destruction of the Ring from the outset. Thanks so!

I'm so very glad Gandalf rescued them!!

We all rejoice that Sam and Frodo survived against all logic, and that Gandalf and the Eagles were granted the right to find them and bring them out in time.

Fly! Fly quickly! *urges them on*

Oh, indeed! And they flew faster even than the fell beasts carrying the remaining Eight.

Yay!!! Gandalf!!!

[blslarner.livejournal.com]

Definitely, yay, Gandalf--and Gwaihir and his kin!

We needed this gapfiller to know how Gandalf took charge to fly to Mt. Doom to rescue our heroes.

Thank you! Love doing my part at filling in gaps!

Yes! Go Gandalf!

Yes! Eagles to the rescue! (And Gandalf :) But it's always the eagles in the end)
