Tolkien quote of the day:

'I do really wish to destroy it!' cried Frodo. 'Or, well, to have it destroyed. I am not made for perilous quests. I wish I had never seen the Ring! Why did it come to me? Why was I chosen?'

'Such questions cannot be answered,' said Gandalf. 'You may be sure that it was not for any merit that others do not possess: not for power or wisdom, at any rate. But you have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.'

Exchange between Frodo and Gandlaf; FotR

bullet Answering the Call by docmon Last Updated: 1/28/2006
FIRST PLACE in 2008 MEFA Awards! A series of vignettes in which each member of the Fellowship hears the call of the Ring-and answers it. My take on the big What-If, pursuing the possibility for each character to take the Ring. Varying degrees of angst, drama, action, and perhaps a little more angst.
