This is dedicated to my mum and my best friend Nini, Cici and Sassy-poo my
muses!
I do not own lord of the rings or anything related to it blah blah blah. You already know I don't!
In the Mist
On the 29th of December, four days after setting out from Rivendell, the Fellowship felt strong and ready to fight anything that attacked them. All except Frodo who'd already been travelling for nearly two months, well so had Sam, Merry and Pippin, but he had The Ring. The One Ring. And It was really tiring him out.
Poor Frodo, thought Legolas, he's obviously struggling with The Ring. Although Legolas felt sorry for Frodo he agreed with his father: the Ring should have been given to an elf. After all elves are stronger than hobbits not to mention taller. But the dwarves wouldn't like that. Ooh no with their dwarvish pride and whatnot the mere thought of an elf having the ring sent them into a rage. Stupid dwarves, he looked at Gimli, Stupid Gimli. All dwarves are, are tall hobbits with extra body hair and soiled armour. Nothing against hobbits. Actually legolas quite liked the little folk, after all they barley came up my shoulder!
It was starting to get dark and there was more danger after nightfall. "I think we should rest for the night." Aragorn said breaking the silence that had fallen over the nine of them.
"Yes," added Gandalf " I think there's a small wood not to far from the east."
"There is." Said Legolas "I can see it, it's not so far away. We won't stray far from our path if we rest there tonight."
And so the nine of them walked the short distance to the small wood and as they drew nearer they noticed a thick mist lay around the trunks of the trees. "What is it?" Frodo asked.
"Just a mist, Frodo. Do not worry yourself."
"Well," Sam puffed "I don't think Bill will like that mist!"
"It just a horse Sam. Not a human bean."
"Human being. Not bean" Boromir corrected.
All of the non- hobbits chuckled while Sam muttered things under his breath that sounded a lot like `more than just any old pony…`
"There are horse tracks leading up to the wood just to the left of us. Four sets and they are fresh." Legolas said quietly, while looking at something on the ground. The others squinted to see but couldn't in the darkness that surrounded them.
"Well I certainly can't see anything." Said Pippin still peering into the darkness.
"You must have really good eye sight," Merry concluded.
"I'm an elf."
"No need to brag Legolas. Us dwarves have perfectly good eye sight!"
Legolas just snorted and said "I will go into the wood and see if I can find whoever left the tracks."
"Ok, but be careful." Aragorn told him.
Fifteen minutes later Legolas came running back and said "The mist got to thick for me to make out the tracks as they got further into the wood. If we stay near the outskirts I think we will be safe enough."
"So that is what we shall do." Gandalf said simply as he ushered the hobbits into the mist and trees."
The Fellowship settled into the trees about a hundred yards from where the wood started, it was Legolas's turn to watch and after a few minutes all you could hear was…four hobbits, one dwarf, a wizard, two men and one pony snoring rhythmically with the wind.
Legolas was getting bored and his legs were cramping from sitting down for so long. And he still had about half an hour before it was Boromirs' turn to watch. Getting up and stretching he decided to take a walk just to make sure everything was ok around them plus he just liked to walk among the trees like he did back home in Mirkwood. A few minutes into his walk, Legolas could hear something coming from the direction of where the other was. He listened closely it was singing but he couldn't make out the words. Legolas couldn't believe some one was making such a noise if he could hear them anything could Orcs, evil birdie spies anything!
Legolas ran as quickly and as quietly back as he could. As he drew closer he could make out some of the words. What on Middle Earth are they singing about?
Hiding behind a tree legolas watched in horror not believing what he saw. He must be mad, Legolas thought, it must be The Ring having some strange effect on him. Oh no Frodo has gone mad!
"I'm a little teeeeea-pot….
