I'm An Elfling! (Lord Of The Rings fanfiction) (Book lV)

Chapter 6: Goodbye Bilbo

Start of recap...

Bilbo pulls the ring out of his pocket and fingers it behind his back. Gandalf watches closely, suspecting something. Frodo watches, his smile slowly vanishing.

"what's he doing" muttered Calen

Bilbo: I, uh, I have things to do. (whispers to himself)I’ve put this off for far too long. (To the crowd) I regret to announce this is the end! I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell. (looking at Frodo)Goodbye.

He puts on the Ring and disappears. The Hobbits gasp, not knowing what to think. They turn to each and start to whisper about Biblo disappearing.

Frodo watches in shock and Gandalf takes his pipe from his mouth with surprise. Calen sits up straight and looks at Gandalf the two share a look

End of recap...

Third person pov...

There is a big commotion among the hobbits as they look around and whisper to each other.

The door at Bag End is opened, and once inside, Bilbo takes off the Ring, becoming visible.

He walks into his study, laughing. He flips the Ring in the air, then puts it back in his pocket and pats it.

Walks over and grabs his walking stick. Suddenly, Gandalf is seen in a corner, With Calen leaning on the wall examining her Bow.

She had a look of disappointment on her face with Bilbo saw and felt guilty.

Gandalf: I suppose you think that was terribly clever.

Bilbo: Come on, Gandalf! Did you see their faces?

Gandalf: There are many magic rings in this world Bilbo Baggins and none of them should be used lightly.

Bilbo: It was just a bit of fun! Oh, you’re probably right, as usual. You will keep an eye on Frodo, won’t you?

Calen then spoke up wanting to join in with their conversation.

"Why are you doing Bilbo" asked the Elf.

Bilbo answered the elf but didn't stop packing "I'm going away for a while Elfling" he answered

Bilbo packs his stuff for the journey

Gandalf: Two eyes. As often as I can spare them.

Bilbo: I’m leaving everything to him.

Gandalf: What about this Ring of yours, is that staying too?

Bilbo: Yes, yes. It’s in an envelope over there on the mantelpiece.

Gandalf goes to the mantelpiece looking for the envelope.

Bilbo: No. Wait, it’s here in my pocket. (pulls out the Ring and looks at it) Heh, isn’t that–? Isn’t that odd, now? Yet, after all, why not? Why shouldn’t I keep it?

Gandalf: I think you should leave the Ring behind, Bilbo. Is that so hard?

Bilbo: Well no. And yes! Now it comes to it. I don’t feel like parting with it. Its mine. I found it! It came to me!
