A/N: Ok, now I realize that the title doesn't exactly make sense yet. Don't worry, it will… maybe around chapter 2 or 3. For now, suffice to say that one of the characters in this fic should have taken Word processing before starting to type fics… maybe I should too…. Well, enjoy!

Lord of the Wings

Prologue

Things were changing in Middle Earth, the girl knew that. She looked toward the west, where, through a dense forest, was her destination. Rivendell. She checked her weapons and walked on. She would reach the Elvin city in a day and a half if she rode quickly.

TBC….

Leigh Black leaned back from the computer. Yep, this had to be one of the most blatant Mary-Sue's she'd read in about a week. She sighed. It was her fault too that it had been written. See, the author Sahara Emerald was a friend of a couple of Leigh's friends. See, Leigh was a writer on Fanfiction.Net and had been showing her friends the site when they decided to write their own stories. (In the Harry Potter section) Now, of course, Leigh hadn't thought this would bring about any harm. Even after they informed her that their friend, Sarah Jones, AKA Sahara Emerald, had written a story in the Lord of the rings section, she hadn't seen the harm. She hadn't been able to read it at school because the evil school internet didn't let them go to FF.Net.

But now, after reading it she was in a state of shock. It was horrible. The story, so far, was about an obvious Mary-Sue, and it was also obviously a Legomance. Ok, well, maybe everything would turn out ok. At least Leigh hoped so.

"Whatcha reading?" Billy, Leigh's pesty 12 year old brother asked. He skimmed over the page and made a disgusted face. "You didn't write this did you?"

"No!" Leigh declared. "Please, Jess and Liz's friend wrote it. Anyway, what do you want?"

"Well, I'm getting bored because Dad's watching Star Trek and I can't play Nintendo. Wanna go down to the woods?" Billy asked.

"Well, I dunno," Leigh said.

"Please! I wanna tell ya about this GREAT story idea that I got from watching Two Towers!"

"Fine," Leigh sighed. Leigh's dad had just bought the Two Towers and the Hulk on DVD. After watching it twice since they'd arrived at his house the day before, it was only natural that the wheels in Billy's head had begun to turn..

"Where are you going?" their grandmother asked in a grouchy voice as Leigh put on a pair of boots and a jacket. Their dad lived with his mom and his sister ever since him and their mom had got divorced.

"The woods."

"You have to be back by 5:00, so you can order the pizza," their aunt said. Billy looked at his watch.

"Um, it's only 12:00," he stated. "But don't worry we'll be back. It's not like we're going to go on any epic quests or anything."

"Just be back," Their grandmother said. Leigh nodded.

"C'mon pest," she said to Billy and they went outside. About five acres behind the house was a small woods, or as Billy called it, a group of trees. After they had moved out into the middle of nowhere with their mom, they had realized that what they had considered akin to a forest, was a mere grove. Anyway, about 500 feet into the forest was a large field. They'd never crossed this field because it belonged to the neighbors, but on the other side was more woods. They assumed that these were larger, and they were plotting on entering them soon.

"So, Dad's watching more Star Trek, huh?" Leigh asked Billy as they walked.

"Yep, and Andromeda. I hope we don't run into Suzie out here." Billy looked around apprehensively. Suzie was there little cousin who lived next door. She was really spoiled and highly annoying.

"Nah, I think she went somewhere," Leigh said. "Now, tell me about your story."

"We have to wait until we're farther in the woods, so we can enact it!" Billy whined. Leigh shrugged as they walked. Finally they reached the clearing.

"Well, it's about me and my friends, ok? And there's this Mary-Sue who takes control of people and we have to stop her-" Billy continued to babble. After a while he picked up a stick and pretended it was a sword. He forced Leigh to follow suit. She was a little less than thrilled. Just then she noticed something. A girl was walking toward them from across the field. And she was dressed REALLY weird. Obviously Billy had noticed as well because he had stopped talking. They decided to walk towards the girl.

"Um, hey, who are you?" Leigh asked. The girl looked surprised.

"I am Erenwen Súrion, princess of the Forgotten Lands. I am on my way to Rivendell to partake in the council," the girl said. She was about 5'9" with a perfect figure and a overly musical voice. Leigh decided that the only logical explanation was that a model from nearby Cleveland had hit her head while watching LotR and now thought that she was supposed to be there.

"Well, uh, you obviously took a wrong turn, because you're in North Royalton, Ohio," Leigh declared. The girl smiled.

"No I'm not. You must be the one who showed them that wonderful site. That's why you're here. It's all in the terms of agreement, in very fine print."

"What is?" Leigh asked in alarm. Like she really even read the terms of Agreement.

"Why, the fact that if you're responsible for someone finding out about the site and they make a certain type of fic you'll have to come too. Here, it's in Spanish, so I can't read it. Although I'm fluent in Elvish, Dwarvish and every other language of Middle Earth." Leigh looked quizzically at the girl, who'd she'd now determined to be an insane Mary-Sue, before taking the paper. She then pulled her brother out of hearing range. She glanced at the paper. Being quite fluent in Spanish, although she was horrible at any other language, except English, she could get the jist of what the paper said.

"Article 3, section 2, subsection 5, part 7, paragraph 2," she read. "Any person who tells someone about this site is then responsible for all stories written by them and whomsoever they tell. If the informed writes a story featuring a Mary Sue or Gary Stu, the one responsible for directing them to this site will be forced to enter the story and right the wrongs they will no doubt cause. However, if the responsible party doesn't know about the type of story, or actually likes that type of Mary Sue/Gary Stu, they will not be allowed in because this will just mess it up more." She put down the paper.

"Just peachy," Leigh declared. "Suddenly she realized something was different about her brother's ensemble. "You look like Link!" Billy looked at his outfit and let out a gasp, for he was wearing an outfit much like the Hylian Hero, although he still retained his physical appearance. Leigh was now wearing an outfit much like the Sophita from Soul Calibur 2's third costume. Her dry, dishwater blonde hair was now in a ponytail instead of the claw clip it had been in.

"Look! I got a sword!" Billy declared gleefully, unsheathing a sword that looked quite similar to the Hylian sword from the game. However, considering he wasn't the strongest child in the world, he couldn't really lift it, and realizing it wasn't much use to him, he returned it to it's sheath and picked up a stout stick. Smiling contentedly, he proceeded to hum the background music from Ocarina of Time as he pretended that that was his weapon. Leigh shook her head. She wasn't even going to try to look at her weapon yet. After all, she wasn't exactly the most athletic person in the world. She glanced at the girl, who she had now decided was a Mary-Sue.

"Well, we'd best be off!" Mary-Sue said brightly. Leigh rolled her eyes. Billy gave her a well-what-else-are-we-gonna-do look.

"Fine, Erin, or what ever your name is-"

"Erenwen," she promptly stated.

"We'll come," Leigh finished, ignoring the last part of the comment. The Mary-Sue started to walk away. Leigh sighed and followed, as did her little brother, who was now humming one of the background songs from the movie. Suddenly he stopped however, and turned to her.

"Hey Leigh, ya know how I told grandma that we weren't going to go on any epic quests?" he asked. Leigh nodded. "Well, I think we are!" Leigh shook her head. Trust Billy to find some good out of all of this.

"Don't you think that they'll get worried about us?" Leigh asked.

"Our grandma? Get worried about us? Are you kidding? She'll be thrilled!"

"Well, what about Dad?" Leigh pointed out. "You can't say that he won't be worried."

"As long as we get back before Star Trek, Farscape, Andromeda, and Stargate are all over, he won't even notice that we're gone," Billy declared. Of course he was right; their dad was virtually dead to the world when the TV was on. Billy was the same way about Nintendo, after all.

"We must walk faster!" their traveling companion said. "Please try and keep up!" Leigh looked at her like she was crazy.

"Um, look, you have a horse. We don't have any. This means that you will be moving faster than us no matter what," she declared.

"Well, I'll just have to get you two horses then," she stated brightly after thinking for a split second. She seemed to focus for a second of a distant place in the woods. Billy and Leigh watched skeptically. But to their surprise, two horses ran towards them, wearing saddles and all that other stuff that horses have on when people ride them.

"Um, Leigh," Billy said quietly. "We don't know how to ride horses."

"How hard can it be?" Leigh said with a shrug. She placed one leg in the stirrup and tried to swing her other one over, but she slipped off and landed in the mud. Glaring at the horse, she tried again… and fell off again. After a few more tries, she finally did it correctly and looka t Billy who was already on his horse humming the Lord of the Rings background music again.

"Let's be off then!" the Mary Sue said, and rode off. They had no choice but to follow, but as Leigh quickly learned, horses didn't like her, and hers had no sense of direction because it kept stopping for no reason and going up low branches so that she had to duck. This was going to be very difficult…

A/N: Ok, now I know that this is rather short, but I wanted to upload it right now. I'll try to write more soon. (If anyone actually reads this.)
