[q=The Trials of the Blue Wizard]Little after the heroes helped the Eagle Wilyador near Rhosgobel, Radagast the Brown welcomed them to his humble shack in order to rest and lay low for a while.
In one of his conversation with the Elf, Radagast mentioned another Wizard just like him and Gandalf: Rómestámo, that responsible to weaken the forces of the Evil One in the far East. The Brown Wizard even mentioned a good friend of the heroes: Glorfindel, the Noldor warrior; saying that he was allowed a second passage through Middle-Earth as a gift, and his second come coincided with that of Rómestámo.
While the dawn rose on the horizon, the Elf kept his conversation cherished with the Wizard, but nothing else could be said, because they had to go fulfill their mission: Capture the creature Gollum and take him to the Silvan elves east of the Misty Mountains.
Not long after they finally returned to the Mirkwood Forest with the creature Gollum, the Elf requested a parley with his new allies. He obviously got what he wanted, and then he explained what he and Radagast shared that night in Rhosgobel. Hearing the conversation, the ruler of the Woodland realm, Thranduil himself, stepped in and addressed the group joyously:
- "Men, Dwarves, Elves and even the Great Eagles together going to the East? Haha. This must be recorded or the children of the next Age will never believe it! I'll help your journey, sending a group of skilled scouts and a little detachment of my army at the command of my son."
- "Cormamin lindua ele lle, father. But, if I may..." - Said Legolas, bowing to his knees. The King Thranduil said nothing but was ready to listen his young son.
And then, the Elf continued: "This mission may not rise the Enemy's suspicions, for if it does, there is no army who can save us for the impending doom; Rohan would never be fast enough to catch with us, the Dwarves will have no chance to show their resilience nor the Men their tactical acumen. Secrecy is the key."
Without a single word, the Ruler of the Woodland Realm agreed with Legolas and nodded to the group.
"Namarie. Quel marth, il'er."
Not a second after Thranduil turn his back to left the premises, two shadowy figures with dark-green hoods came out off of a tree and landed in their knees near Prince Legolas: "Lye naa lle nai, master Legolas."
The Elf turned to his friends, with a grim in his face and exclamated:
"It seems we are ready to leave, friends. TO THE EAST! LET'S FIND THE BLUE WIZARD!"
The Istari are a very reclusive group. It's said they are older than time itself; it can be true, but it's hard to say when it comes down to the Wizards. Nobody knows much about them, and you need to find out about them soon...
