Lord of the Ants

By ElenweMorwen and Aduial

Time: After the Fellowship has left Rivendell, but before they reach the Mines of Moria

Disclaimer: We own none of these characters, and sadly, never will. They were all created by J. R. R. Tolkien. The only thing we take credit for here, is the plot of this story.

Summary: Who knew that one innocent prank could turn Middle Earth upside down? Gandalf develops an intense dislike of ants, Saruman takes all the credit, and Galadriel thinks the Fellowship has gone completely insane.

Chapter One

An Evil Plot

Sam sat at the campfire, staring at the flames. He felt a slight tickle on his foot and looked down. Seeing that it was only an ant he brushed it off. Suddenly an Idea struck him.

Gandalf had had it coming ever he threatened to turn Sam into something "unnatural".
