Hello world!
A long time has passed since the last time I wrote the first part of the trilogy 'Mutants in Middle-Earth'.
As the readers of the previous 'episodes' will remember, this trilogy mixes the universe of the brilliant author Tolkien along with that of the X-Men. I will add that, in terms of the universe of the X-Men, I use a mixture of comics, movies and TV shows, increasing some elements for literary reasons.
The first two parts of this trilogy were focused, the first in the journey of Lady Galadriel and Lord Glorfindel to Earth and how they met different characters, among which are a young Professor Charles Xavier, and a girl Ororo AKA Storm. Its name: Mutants in Middle-Earth: The Beginning.
The second part focused on Kitty AKA Shadowcat's journey to Middle-Earth and her role during the 'War of the Ring', as well as all the friendships she made and her romance with Legolas (how original!). Its name: Mutants in Middle-Earth: The War of the Ring.
But now, comes the third and final part of this trilogy: 'Mutants in Middle-Earth: A New Shadow Arises'. In this 'episode' the enemy, or rather two, one come from the universe of the X-Men and another of ... the Earth or rather Middle-Earth ... is something complicated to explain, so I suggest everyone readers who read the first two 'episodes' of this trilogy so that you understand various details and events that will occur throughout this story.
I'll add that this trilogy will be joined with the story of Lord Glorfindel with Laura Kinney AKA X-23, and how their love was strong and immortal enough to overcome the barriers of Death (the death of Lord Glorfindel), and more than 6000 years that both lived in Middle-Earth, each fulfilling a mission directly entrusted by the Válar, without seeing each one even once and both thinking that the one and the other had died, or at least never again they would see
A part of the story of these two characters is in the story 'The story never told. Book 1: The Wandering Star of Gondolin. '
This story has not been finished yet, but do not worry because I will give enough elements so that readers of this 'episode' reasonably understand the long history of love, pain, sadness, joy, anguish, happiness, etc.; that both, the Elf-lord and the mutant, suffered. Not to mention that I intend to finish it, no matter what… at least the first book.
Finally, I want to mention that this story will happen a couple of years after the death of Aragorn, so that he, Pippin, Merry, Sam and Frodo will not appear. But in their place will appear characters like Lady Celebrían, Elrohir, Elladan, Eldarion, a couple of his sisters, and ... more X-Men, as well as some mutants of the Brotherhood of Magneto.
I will add to the mutants a couple of OC's that will have a very important role, plus many others that will only serve as ... stuffing.
Among the good guys will be, apart from the six mentioned, Gandalf, Glorfindel, Galadriel, Celeborn, Elrond, Legolas, Kitty, Laura (if you want to know how is possible that both are still alive after over 100 years, read the second 'episode' of the trilogy), and an old Gimli but still an excellent warrior.
Before I begin, I want to remind all readers that English is NOT my native language, and I am still a rookie in the art of writing; so I ask you that your reviews are not too hard, and instead constructive, and how to improve the story. Not to mention that they are very important and encouraging to me.
I also want to say that it will probably take a while to upload it, since although most of the characters, as well as the place where the plot occurs, are developed in the universe of the brilliant author, Tolkien; no less true is that the plot and almost everything is completely new and original.
Having said all this, in this 'small' exordium ... let's start:
Ah yes! I forgot to add that there will also be romance (apart from the canonical couples as well as between mutants and elves, namely, Laura/Glorfindel and Legolas/Kitty).
Now ... let's start and wish me lots of luck guys, because I will really need it.
Chapter 1: Prologue
… Lady Galadriel raised her left hand, where her ring, Nienna, shone and ordered in a voice that did not admit a reply, but that was also scary because it was not even remotely hers. It was a menacing voice, with a tinge that no one had ever heard before, but that was certainly for anyone to run away from. But not Shaw, not after he had seen what he could do with his helmet on.
"Servant of Morgoth, return from whence you came!" She ordered
The mutants saw each other. What kind of words were those?
And with that said, she raised her left hand and directed it against Shaw. A huge and an invisible wave, but one that was surely full of power, hit Shaw completely, making him fly several meters. Anyone could have sworn that Shaw had died after such an attack, both the remains of a building that had collapsed and the surroundings where the evil mutant had fallen had been reduced to almost dust. However, Galadriel did not stop there, but went directly to where Shaw had fallen, who miraculously was still alive, only his impeccable and elegant suit was torn and had several bruises, but beyond that nothing had happened to him.
"Ah! Do you have your tricks? I also have mine! "Shaw replied, releasing a wave of energy that destroyed everything around Galadriel and still made her back a couple of steps.
But the Lady of the Light was not a person who allowed herself to be overcome so easily and more because she was beginning to notice that Shaw's voice changed to a "relatively" similar to Sauron's and his eyes were not exactly the same.
"Servant of Morgoth, return from whence you came!" She shouted again. Her ring shining ever brightly "begone!"
As if the ring that Lady Galadriel owned gave her more power, her attack this time had much more energy and threw Shaw against a wall and making him destroy everything in his path. Galadriel immediately walked quickly to continue attacking. When Shaw got up and attacked, his attacks every time more violent and vicious. The attack waves of Galadriel and Shaw collided almost completely destroying the place and making them back both.
Before Shaw could recover, Galadriel shouted:
"Begone!"
Her ring, Nienna, shone as if it were a star in her hand. She did not let him get up again.
"Servant of Morgoth, return from whence you came! Begone! "She shouted over and over again, every time she attacked.
Finally, she seemed to gather all of her strength and shouted with a voice that chilled,
"Servant of Morgoth, begone!"
A wave of power came out of her left hand leaving shreds absolutely all around, Shaw who, miraculously, though bruised with the suit completely torn and with several injuries, was still alive, stood hesitantly. He probably would have attacked again, but he realized that Galadriel was ready to attack him again and surely, her goal was to kill him.
Maybe Shaw was a man who was confident in his power and now more than ever that he had discovered what he could do with that helmet, but he also realized that if things went on like this, it could well happen that Galadriel finally killed him because without doubt that was her intention. He was wounded, though not seriously, but he was wounded; whereas Galadriel seemed not to have a single scratch. No, what was best was to go and discover what mysteries were behind that helmet and why she called him 'Servant of Morgoth'.
So, making a slight gesture to Azazel, the red mutant in the blink of an eye took his boss and then Angel and the other mutant who accompanied them and disappeared without leaving more trace than a wisp of red color cloud.
Once she saw that they were gone, Lady Galadriel collapsed. That had been a terrible and tiring fight, perhaps never in all her long life had she faced such a thing.
… Lord Glorfindel paid no attention to him, making use of those brief moments when he had distracted those beasts. He concentrated and showed his true nature. His white and flawless skin shone like the light of the Sun in broad daylight and his entire body was covered with a brilliant white light that left far below that of any star, and instead showed great power and semi-glory divine.
Seeing this, the children were stunned because what they saw was like killing anyone in astonishment, and more when they saw that the horrible creatures recoiled in fright.
The Elf-Lord spoke in a strange language. It was no longer the soft and musical language with which he sang to the animals or with whom he narrated the great deeds of the heroes of yesteryear of the Elves. No, now it was a language certainly strange, but full of divine power and greatness. The Balrog Slayer raised his hands speaking in that strange and powerful language, the creatures ran away more and more terrified, fleeing from the presence of the children and, above all, from his.
Suddenly, a strong earthquake shook the earth and the children saw terrified that the trees were falling, the plants were shaking and uprooting, and the soil was slowly becoming sand that began to disappear in the depths of the earth. Without waiting for them to react, Lord Glorfindel took Ororo's hand and forced the children to run with him. To Ororo's amazement, perhaps the figure of her closest friend emanated light in such a way that he seemed to be a demi-god; but his hand, though calloused by the continuous use of the sword, was soft and warm.
The children and the Elf-lord ran quickly away as fast as they could from that damn place. At their feet, the hard-yellow soil turned into reddish sand like the dunes that they crossed during their entire trip, while the great mountain red as blood fell to pieces, crumbling to the point of becoming mere dust. The camels had barely felt the tremendous earthquake, they had moved away at full speed putting themselves at a totally safe distance.
Finally, when both the Elf-lord and the children were totally out of reach of that place, once again the ambassador of the Válar who still shone with that supernatural light, so that he dazzled even though the Sun still shone in its splendor, he spoke in that strange and powerful tongue raising his hands. Before the astonished eyes of the children and after a great smoke, there was absolutely no trace of the oasis or the mountain, all that remained was another dune more of reddish sand like those that abounded in the desert.
Once the Balrog Slayer, possessor of semi-divine powers, saw this. Little by little, that light and his skin stopped emanating, even his flawless and white skin no longer shone like the Sun. The Elf-lord collapsed to his knees while breathing hard. That feat had required all the power that the Válar had granted him. He thought for a moment about the punishment he would have like Lady Galadriel and shook his head inwardly. It had been for the sake of Ororo and the Edain. A hand came to rest on his shoulder that made him turn slowly as he tried to resume his normal breathing again. It was Ororo who was staring at him in astonishment, her crystal-blue eyes opened wide, the same as the other children.
"You are truly an angel," she said.
… "Kitty!" He telepathically called loudly.
After a few seconds, he heard the voice of his former student and X-Men.
"Professor!"
"How are you Kitty?"
"Excited! I never thought that being a descendant of the two Blue Wizards had so many benefits "
The Professor smiled. When Kitty told him several years ago that the mutants were descendants of the two Istari known as the two 'Blue Wizards' who had mysteriously disappeared in the East, had hardly believed it. Who would you say so that mutants would be indirect descendants of Istari! He could not imagine what that would mean in Middle-Earth, but it certainly had many benefits.
"Kitty ...!" He called. But no one answered "Kitty ...!" He called with more force
After a few minutes, Kitty's voice echoed in his ears, but more and more distant, it seemed to be an echo.
"Excuse me Professor, I was talking to Legolas"
"Oh! Greet him for me. Tell him I would have loved to meet him in person "
"Professor ... I cannot hear you. Your voice is fading "
"Tell him I would have loved to meet him, and I send him a greeting" repeated the Professor almost shouting telepathically
He heard Kitty giggling, but her giggle was heard more and more distant. Her voice was no longer heard except as an echo that was fading ever faster.
"He says that he also sends greetings and that it would have been a privilege for him to meet you in person" came the voice of Kitty as an echo to his ears after several minutes "I'm leaving Professor! Good bye! I'm going to miss you a lot! Greetings to all and tell all the X-Men that I love them! "
The last words were scarcely heard by the Professor, whose eyes filled with tears. It was the last time, the final farewell of one of his dearest and closest students and friend.
"Good bye Kitty! Good luck! "He shouted with all his might. Suddenly a thought came to mind and making use of all its concentration and mutant skill, as well as the power of Cerebro, shouted again, "Send greetings to Galadriel for me!"
A fading echo hit his ears. It was Kitty's laughter and the last word he would ever hear from her:
"Okay!"
Yes, I know, almost nothing or, rather, nothing happens in this chapter, but it is precisely because that is: a prologue. A prologue to get the attention of readers and observe how things happened from the beginning, at the time Lord Glorfindel and Lady Galadriel traveled to Earth and a glimpse of what happened in the second 'episode' of the trilogy.
The fragments that appear are part of the first two 'episodes' of the trilogy.
I hope to upload the next chapter soon. And ... your reviews are extremely important, guys!
