Just a wee nonconforming Doozer doing noncomforming Doozery things.

Deep in the forest, a forgotten temple ruin overgrown by moss is the final resting place of an old god. A stone is heaved aside, sunlight warms ancient flagstones. An offering is placed on the altar - salt, bread, oil. A prayer is said: "If you can help, do so. If not, persist." It is answered.

Frodo wakes. ‘Where am I?’ ‘In the House of Elrond. It is ten o’clock in the morning. The morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know.’ ‘Gandalf!’ ‘Yes, I am here. And you are lucky to be here, too, after all the absurd things you have done since you left home.’
