Journey of the ranger (Part XII): To Gondor!



I thought he was kidding but apperently he is not. Nír arrived today in Caras Galadhon with a letter from Halbarad. Apperently he wants me to look for some documents about Annuminas in Minas Tirith.  Why would he want documents from there?
I don't get it nor do I like it. I've avoided places with many folk and now he sends me to one of the largest cities of men. It makes no sence to me.. but... I suppose it must be very important. 
The documents he spoke of should be contained in a red book with a purple and golden seal on it. It can be found within the archives of Minas Tirith. I must get it to him as fast as I can. 
I am so glad I took Aronath with me across the mountains for once. He will now provide a big help to me! I can make the distance twice as fast as I would on foot. 
None the less the road ahead of me is very dangerous. I only have maps of the lands of Gondor and are not sure what I can expect. The last time I saw the white city was when I was thirty years old. Thats fourty-five years ago. But even then I did not enter it.
I saw it from afar, on a hill in Ithilien. Not all to far from Osgiliath if I recall correctly.

I can't help but feel a little excitement as well. I might be a wanderer of the north but I would like to see the city from inside. Its a childhood dream I suppose. 
My father spoke to me of Minas Tirith and the kings of old. They were fantastic stories and I've kept them with me all this time. 
I wonder if they are all true though......

Enough of this. I noted this down before my departure from Caras Galadhon because I am not sure if I will be able to write this down in the future.
To Gondor for the second time!
