The Mirror<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by D. McGlinchey<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dare you look into the mirror?
\nDo you seek to know your fate?
\nAre you holding on to the life you know?
\nOr is your quest now far too late?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have no fear young Hobbit
\nThe mirror is just a guide.
\nWhat has gone and what’s to come
\nIs not always shown inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journey on is lined with fear
\nBut ‘hope’ will see you through.
\nYour friends are only here for love.
\nYou know what you must do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dare you look into the mirror?
Do you seek to know your fate?
Are you holding on to the life you know?
Or is your quest now far too late?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo dust in our eyes\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book One, chapter 5, A conspiracy unmasked<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

by: Theo van de P.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know you so well,
\nalmost certain what you think.
\nAnd we watched you closely,
\nso you would not disappear in a blink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, we understand you must go,
\nand no, we will not keep you.
\nBut it\u2019s a long & dangerous road,
\nand therefore we must go too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s true that we are horribly afraid,
and we don\u2019t know how it ends.
Indeed, the danger is very dark,
But Frodo, we are your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
