The story

Awakening from a dream of Gandalf fighting the Balrog in Moria, Frodo Baggins finds himself, along with Samwise Gamgee, lost in the Emyn Muil near Mordor.

In Fangorn, Aragorn's group confronts Gandalf, who, after killing the Balrog at the cost of his own life, was revived to help save Middle-earth.

Aragorn connects with Théoden's niece, Éowyn, who becomes infatuated with him.
