The White Rider

Theoden, Gandalf, Legolas Aragon and Gimili meets merry and pippin at the gates of Isengard and find them somking and drinking ale. They become very uppset for finding them drinking and smoking and above all they look very healthy. It is not that they do not want them to feel good it's just that all they have all risked their lives for them at sevaral occasions. After a while marry and pippin gives each and everyone a pipe and they star a fire along with their pipes and talk about everything that had happend after they parted at the end of the first book. They also meet Gandlaf whom they thought where dead and that gave them joy within their souls. After a long talk about alot of things that had already been said the dawn peeks trough the clouds and mist of Isengard. After a while Gandalf says that it is time to talk to Saruman but he says that "even in defeat Saruman is dangerous, like a corned wild bear Saruman will react. He will try to Decive us into the last. Watch out for his voice." The company moves towards Orthanc (the Ctadel of Isengard) And there they meet treebeard. Gandalf and treeberd excange a few quick words and then everybody goes to the doors of Orthanc. From the shhadows an old man appers and a white pale man. The old man is ofcoure Saruman but the pale man is Grimma wormtoung he is a traitor from rohan who helped Saruman poison the Kings mind. Gandalf and Saruman talks for a while and Saruman Speeks to Gandalf as if he is his superior. (wich he is, he thinks) Saruman oders Gandalf to leve Isengard and never come back. (A big part of Sarumans magic laies within his voice) Saruman turns his back and leaves but just as he disepears Gandalf speaks. He said "come back Saruman, I have not given you permission to leave. You are no longer the head of the Istari.  You are no longer Saruman the white. I am Gandalf the white and I have taken your place. Saruman, your staff is broken" Sarumans staff explodes and he is thrown back. Meenwhile grimma tries to hit Gandalf witch a big crystal orb. Gandalf is not paying attention to pippin that goes to the orb. The second he touches it the orb seeams to burn on the inside for a blink of an eye. Pippins mind is now fixed on this starnge orb and when Gandalf is asleep he takes the orb from him and hold it and looks. When Gandalf wakes up a few seconds later he takes the orb and asks pippin what he saw. Pippin first lie and says ha only saw stars. Then he tells Gandalf everything and describes a white city in flames. And a white tree burning. Just as Gandlaf understand that pippin talks about Minas tirith a nazgul shows up on a fellbeast. ( a nazgul is a ringwraith who has been poisend by Sauron im not goning to explain everything about them because then I would sit here the whole night.) Gandalf comands everyone to flee back to edoras and says that he and pippin is going to Minas tirith.
  I Find this bit very disturbing because Saruman does not die in the book. I knew this alredy but I do not like it. I feel a little diespointed at Peter jacksson for killing Saruman in the moovies but what are you goning to to huh.. Saruman will aventually flee from Isengard to the east and he will not have a part in the book after this. His staff did brooke and that means the wizards power is gone if he does not get a new one. I cant really say if the book is better or not, I can say however that I find it very interesting to learn something new about Lotr.
