The company found a small lawn at the feet of a small hill. The hill was called Amon Hen - the hill of seeing. On the other side of the river their stood its counterpart, Amon Lhaw - the hill of hearing. There they made a rest to get their strength back and discuss their way. Frodo left the company for thinking and the others remained on the lawn. But Boromir secretly followed Frodo and tried to change his decision of going to Mordor, because he wanted the ring save and within his reach in Minas Tirith. He tried to force Frodo to give him the ring, but Frodo used it and became invisible. He ran up the hill and sat on the great throne of stone there. With the power of the ring and the magic of the seat, he saw whole Middle-Earth as it was lying on a table under him. Everywhere he looked he saw war and fire so his decision to destroy the ring became harder than before.
The company discovered the missing of Boromir and Frodo and so they wanted to find them. Boromir returned but said nothing, so they called for Frodo because they feared Orcs have caught him. The whole company split up and ran into the small forest on the edge of the lawn. When everybody had disappeared, Frodo returned and wanted to take a boat to depart without any of his friends, because he does not wanted to endanger one of them. But Sam, who followed Aragorn, guessed Frodos decision and returned in the last minute to the lawn. So he and Frodo made their way to the eastern shore to get into Mordor and destroy the ring.
