Journal #7

Bilbo manages to find his companions, who were worried about him and did not know whether to leave without him or not. He tells them a story of how he escaped without the ring, because he did not want anyone to know of the ring that he found. The group hears some Wargs, which are animals that are basically like wolfs, and they climb up into the trees to avoid them. The wargs go and tell the goblins, who come and set fire to the trees that they are hiding in. Soon a giant eagle flies in and saves everyone, the reader then learns that this is the Lord Of Eagles, who are all friends of Gandalfs. He saw the fires from his great roost and came in to save them. Gandalf takes everyone to his friend Beron, who is a bear-man. Beron provides food, shelter, and even lets them borrow ponies. He tells them to take the elf path through Mirkwood, which will throw off the goblins that still want to attack and kill all the dwarves, hobbit, and the wizard (Gandalf). There is no safe path through Mirkwood, but the north path is safer. When they get there, Gandalf has to leave and warns them to stick to the path and not to go off of it, and then he leaves.
