My Journey into Middle-Earth
It was a warm summer morning and I was just waking up after a long deep sleep. I opened my eyes gradually to look around my bedroom only to find I was outside but not in my garden, not in my street, and not even in my own time period! As I began to wake fully I saw a ring of strange looking men and what looked like elves (note pointy ears). Some wielded swords and others held bows and arrows ready to shoot. A man approached me. He was tall and had long dark hair.
"Stand up strangely dressed person!" He commanded lifting me up from the back of my Lord of the Rings pyjamas, "What is your business here sleeping in the fields of Gondor? And why do you have our King on your garments?" Gondor? Gondor? How can I be in Gondor? One I'm not from Gondor, two I'm not even from this time period, three Gondor was surly only a place from a book I was reading last night and finally I'm wearing my pyjamas!!! What do they mean I have their king on my pyjamas? I couldn't...could I? NO! I couldn't be in...Middle-Earth!
Suddenly a hand seized me and pulled me up onto his horse. "You will ride behind Legosis," The tall man mounted his own horse, "We must take this outsider to the king!" Outsider! I felt quite insulted being called an outsider, I know I must have looked strange to them but how do they think I feel. They're all strange to me.
Fear struck me as we approached a castle-like building. From the outside it looked magnificent and I was sure it would be grand on the inside. The horses halted and I was dragged to the ground. The elf I had been riding behind bound my hands so I couldn't escape and I was lead to the King.
"Your highness I have discovered an outsider sleeping in the fields of Gondor." The king raised his head and looked at me with his dark eyes. He looked almost the same as the man speaking to him.
"Bring forth the foreigner, my son!" I knew it! They were related. The elf presented me to the king and I trembled with fright. What were they going to do to me? The King looked at me with a kind face. "Place your hand in your pocket," He instructed, "Now hand me the gem," I was confused, I didn't have pockets in my pyjamas nor did I carry a gem. I placed my hand where my pocket would be and to my surprise there was a pocket and to completely baffle me there was also a gem. What was this magic?
Suddenly the door burst open and a small, grey, thin, and frog-like creature leaped onto my back and tried to seize the gem. Legosis drew his weapon and the creature cowered down in the corner or the large stone room.
"Gollum what are you doing her?" The King commanded as the creature hissed at him, "Seize him!" Before Gollum had chance to run or even move he had been bound and taken away to the dungeons, or at least that's what I thought would happen, maybe he would be burnt. COOL! I'd like to watch a burning! Did they do burnings in Middle-Earth? I dunno and don't really care!
"Mr...Err...Your name please" the king asked "Erm...Chris" I answered. The king looked at me more closely. "Are you a hobbit from the Shire?" "No I most certainly am not!" I was beginning to feel a little annoyed with the way I was being treated, "I am a human man thank you very much." To my surprise the king smiled. "I just can't help being smaller than the children of Gondor that's all" The king's face became serious again.
"Now Chris that gem in your pocket," Oh no here he goes again about that gem thing. "Could I see it a second?" Did I have any choice but to hand over the pretty looking blue gem that had somehow found its way into my, until now, non-existent pocket? No I couldn't really turn round to a king and say 'Get lost its mine! It's in MY pocket not yours!' could I? Now had I been talking to his son I might have got away with saying that if I had then fled the country.
I pulled the shiny gem out of my pocket and handed it to the king. He examined it closely. "Sorry to ask sir but what is your name?" That question had been itching to come out for a while now.
"King Elessar of Gondor, or if you prefer you may call me Strider, Aragorn or Dunedin. The choice is yours." He smiled and then went back to examining the gem. I had read and almost memorised all of his names but I thought it more polite to ask and let him tell me his name. Besides he may have had a preferred name for me to call him and I could have upset him by calling him something he didn't want me to.
"I don't mean to be rude but which do you wish me to call you?" "I am official King Elessar as that is my elvish name but most people know me as Aragorn son of Arathorn. So you can call me Aragorn."
After a short while Aragorn handed the gem back to me. "Keep it safe and out of sight," He nodded to my pocket, "You must destroy it before the enemy gets hold of it." I was bemused that he was asking a complete new-comer to middle-earth that could destroy him if the enemy got hold of the gem.
"You must leave at dawn," He said as he sat down in his throne, "Arazeize, Legosis and Giblet will travel with you." Aragorn clicked his fingers and another man walked through the door. "Show this young man to a bed for the night, but first find him some new garments and a little armour and of course a weapon for his journey tomorrow."
I was lead away to a chamber to have my clothes fitted and then to my sleeping chamber where I would spend the night. What would happen tomorrow I was not ready to think about. Am I gonna shrivel up and perish or will I burn and die? Well let's take life as it comes and hopefully survive to tell the tale. Anyway I'll sleep until the cock crows at dawn.
