Here's chapter 7 because you've waited long enough forore chapters.

Start of recap...

Frodo sees the Ring on the floor and bends down to pick it up. He then notices Gandalf sitting by the fireplace.

Gandalf: My precious… Precious…

Frodo walks over to Gandalf and notices the worry on Calen face.

Frodo: He’s gone hasn’t he? He talked for so long about leaving. I didn’t think he’d really do it.

he stops besides Gandalf, the Ring in his hand.

Frodo: Gandalf?

Gandalf: Hmm. (he sees the Ring in Frodo’s hand) Bilbo’s Ring. He’s gone to stay with the elves. He’s left you Bag End…  (he get’s out and envelope, holding it up to Frodo who puts the Ring in it. He seals it and gives the envelope to Frodo)  …along with all his possessions. The Ring is yours now. Put it somewhere out of sight.

Gandalf gets his hat and staff and makes for the door

Frodo: Where are you going?

End of recap...

Third person pov...

Gandalf: There are some things that I must see to.

Frodo: What things?

Gandalf: Questions. Questions that need answering!

Frodo: But you’ve only just arrived! I don’t understand.

Gandalf turns and looks at Frodo and Calen.

Gandalf: Neither do I. Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

aerial view of Barad’dur is then seen and an erupting Mt. Doom in the distance. Among the sound of clanging blades, a shrill moan cries out.

Gollum: (in severe pain) Shire! Baggins!

Mt. Doom explodes and scene switches to Minas Morgul where the Nazgûl ride out. Gandalf rides over a hill near Minas Tirith and watches Mt.

Doom over the Ash Mountains, rapidly turning toward the citadel.

He walks hurriedly through the halls until he reaches an underground library, shifting through papers until he finds what he’s looking for

Gandalf: (reading v.o.) The year 3434 of the Second Age. Here follows the account of Isildur, High King of Gondor, and the finding of the Ring of Power. It has come to me, The One Ring. It shall be an heirloom of my kingdom. All those who follow in my bloodline shall be bound to its fate, for I will risk no hurt to the Ring. It is precious to me though I buy it with great pain. The markings on the band begin to fade. The writing, which was first as clear as red flame, has all but disappeared. A secret now that only fire can tell.

Isildur is shown taking the Ring from Sauron’s finger, and holding it in between his fingers looking at it.

Gandalf’s eyes widen upon realization.
