Audree's Faeries - Tolkein / Gandalf

Gandalf (the grey): is the wizard we hear most about in The Lord Of The Rings. Gandalf has many names; Gandalf is mostly used in the North, Mithrandir among the Elves, Tharkun among dwarfes, Incanus in the South, and he was called Olórin on the other side of the Great Sea. He keeps one of the Elven rings, the ring of fire.Gandalf knows many languages, and he is very wise. Therefore, he is a good leader and leads the company well, until he falls in the darkness of Moria. The Company meets him again, though, when they travel across Rohan. Rohan is situated in the south of Middle Earth, and the land is under the power of Théoden King. When the Company meets him again,he is called the White rider,and is wholly clad in white because at that time, he had become leader of the White Council. He finds Théoden in a quite miserable state, his minds poisoned by Wormtongue, Sarumans servant. Gandalf gives new hope to Théoden, and they both ride against Saruman, for the final battle he is given the best horse: Shadowfax.

The Balrog reached the bridge. Gandalf stood in the middle of the span, leaning on the staff in his left hand, but in his other hand Glamdring gleamed, cold and white. His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings. It raised the whip, and the thongs whined and cracked. Fire came from its nostrils. But Gandalf stood firm. 'You cannot pass,' he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. 'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udun. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.' The Balrog made no answer. The fire in it seemed to die, but the darkness grew. It stepped forward slowly on to the bridge, and suddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall; but still Gandalf could be seen, glimmering in the gloom; he seemed small, and altogether alone: grey and bent, like a wizened tree before the onset of a storm. From out of the shadow a red sword leaped flaming. Glamdring glittered white in answer. There was a ringing clash and a stab of white fire. The Balrog fell back and its sword flew up in molten fragments. The wizard swayed on the bridge, stepped back a pace, and then again stood still.
