Dragon's Rage
By Krystal Fox alias Youkiyra Solar
Krystal Fox: Hello I hope you will enjoy this story, for I got the inspiration from a book about dragons killing humans because of hate.
Legolas: YOU WHAT! The story you created was inspired by a book of death and destruction!
Krystal Fox: Yes Everything I read gives me Ideas and good things I sometimes turn bad for my characters.
Legolas: I feel ill.
Krystal Fox: I do not own any of the Lord of the Rings characters. I own the charcters that I made up. SO let's begin the story.
Chapter 1 Ancient Scrolls
Elrond was working on a translation of an old scroll that Mithil his own steward had found in thier old and musty basement.
Ellandan and Elohir were helping translate but were more like arguing over every word than translating. THe form of the language was ancient and it seemed famliar to the lord but he couldn't put his finger on it. So at the moment they were getting nowhere in the translations of these scrolls.
At the very moment Elrond's head ached with the constant bickering the twins were doing behind him, he was about ready to give his sons his old war yell just to quiet them down.
Ouside Elrond heard the fast clip of horses hooves and thought, "Let me guess our guest the Prince fleeing his victum my son."
Legolas came flying through the gateway with his horse only to bound off of it and go dashing indoors. A second horse appeared and the figure on this horse seemed to be rather soggy. Aragorn slowly got off his horse and trode slowly into the large house, leaving wet footprints behind.
Elrond stood to go welcome the Prince, going down the hallway met the Prince coming up the hallway looking for someplace to hide.
"Greetings , young Prince."
The distracted Prince went towards the lord and asked, "Greetings also Lord Elrond , but perchance do you know of a place that I could hide from a certain enraged human?"
Elrond chuckled then pointed towards his study, "Under the table the twins are working on. What did you do to him?"
Legolas said as he ws walking backwards, "I soaked him with soapy wash water and threw a bar of soap and hit him in the jaw."
Then the golden haired elf disappeared into the latter room. The Prince had just arrived on invatation from Mirkwood to visit Rivendel's Spring Festival. Elrond was starting to wonder if that had been a good idea, to join together Mirkwood's trickster with Rivendel's Tricksters.
Mutterings reached the Lord's ears, then a dripping wet Estel appeared, "Stupid elf, always have to get the last word about everything." Seeing the lord went and followed him into the study.
"Ada, do you know where the Prissy elf from Mirkwood is?" Estel asked very angry.
"I am not answering that question till you are calmed down, we can't have one of my sons ripping to pieces Thanduil's only child."
Defeated Aragorn against Elrond's better desires sat down wet on one of his good chairs. After a few minutes Aragorn sighed and a golden head popped out from under the table the twins had been grinning terribly, and doing their work on, and said, "I still think that you need a bath to clean up filthy human."
Aragorn gave an exasperated growl and said, "I give up, this elf will never give me a moments peace about being clean."
The twins broke into uncontrolable laughter Tumbling back in thier chairs holding thier stomaches.
Legolas ignoring them looked around the room and had his attention taken by the table that he had been hiding under. It was scattered with many scrolls and new paper beside it showing that there had been some trying to translate these scrolls.
"What are those on the table?" Legolas asked curiously.
"Those are come scrolls that Mithil found in our basement along with some ancient weapondry and old clothes."
"They were where?" The twins said together they looked sick . Elrond's basement had not been cleaned since Morgoth had been banished from Middle Earth into the Void.
"Ada, you say that these scrolls came from that stinking room downstaris?" Elohir questioned.
"Yes, Why?"
At those words the two dark heads looked up suddenly, stood up immediately and backed away from the scrolls they had been handling and crossed the room and washedtheir hands in a basin leaving the Prince and Estel confused and Elrond Amused.
"Come now my sons do you think our stinking, old basement would rub off on you by just handling the scrolls?"
"You don't know what lives down there Ada." Ellandan stated.
"What tell me?" an irritated Lord was saying his headache getting worse.
The brothers exchanged glances then looked at their father like they were guilty of a great crime.
"Ada, four skunks live in that room downstairs in a nest made in an old armor suit, and they love the smell of paper." Elohir said very quickly.
Elrind stunned of this then realized something, "Glorfindel!!!" Elrond went dashing out of the room as the twins faces paled at that name. The lord went most unlordly out of the room down the hall and outside to the basement door. A horrible stench reached the lord's nose as he arrived. A figure was starting to emerge from the room. A very tall golden haired, golden and green robed elf came out of the room with a very angry, upset look on his face. Lord of the GoldenFlower, Glorfindel. The smell eminating from him made Elrond's eyes water.
The other Lord as he saw Elrond said walking by,"Elrond, Remind me to use the twins as torture dummies...very soon. Oh and Elrond, have Mithil send to my room a lot of tomatoes and hot bath water."
Elrond nodded mutely and looked up four head were leaning out the window above. The twins looked terrified, Legolas looked like he wanted to feel sorry and laugh at the same time, Estel was much like his counter-part. Going back up to the study asked his evil sons "Boys, when did you put skunks in our basement?"
Ellandan and Elohir looked at each other and didn't say anything.
Aragorn chirped up for them, "When they dyed Glorfindel's hair green and got dumped into tar by him."
Elrond shook his head then noticed that the Prince was not int the middle of this argument adding to his sons death warrant. Turning around saw Legolas holding one of the scrolls from the table seemingly reading it silently, looking very interested at what he found.
"Legolas, can you read that?" Estel asked remembering the long hours his adopted father had spent on trying to translate even one word.
"Yes I can for are these not from Mirkwood?"
"No they have been within my basement for years and years." Elrond said.
"these scrolls are in the same language my people use when only Greenwood elves are around. This a the ancient tongue that only forest elves know." Legolas said looking very excited at what he had been reading.
"What is it that you are reading?" the elder twin asked.
"Oh such things I've always wondered about. These speak of a line of Dragons that are very special. These dragons are rarely seen because they can change forms." the excited Prince exclaimed.
"they What?" all four of the dark haired figures asked at the same time confusion of their faces.
"Let me explain this, this is part of Greenwood's history. A long time ago one of the king's of Mirkwood was hunting and somehow got separated from his party. As he went along he hearda sound of growling and whimpering. Going forth found a small dragon that had a torn wind from a dwarvish trap it was caught in. When the King tried to get near the dragon started to tremble so the King laid down his sword to show that he meant no harm. Then realeased the dragon. This dragon was an emerald green it's eyes so green it could blend with the trees and never be seen. The king seeing that the dragon couldn't fly off because of the wing took the small dragon and went back to the castle to care for it. He gave it the finest foods and cared for it's wounds himself. After awhile the dragon was healed and the King let it go free, but was sad to see it go. Months later Morgoth's armies were attacking Greenwood and the King got separated from the soldiers and a death blow was about to hit, when he saw a flash of blue and then blackness. When he woke a tall elf with sky blue eyes was leaning over him washing his wounds. Behind him a young girl dressed in green and had striking green eyes. The King had been saved by this girl's father and laterfound out that that girl was the same dragon that he had cared for. This father then promised the King since he saved his only child from death and he had done the same for him , (since he was eternally grateful) all his decendants would lend help when his people himself or relatieves were in need. Ever since then these Dragons would come and help us in our time of need. Though no on knows what ever happened to htem till now." the Prince said finishing his tale.
"What ever happened to the Dragons?" Elohir asked having been entranced with the story.
"These scrolls say that after a time of long peace these Dragons settled down as elves and humans living in the North amongst their own people shunning away from all other races." Legolas said reading from the paper.
"So dragons still exist!" Elrond said sitting down taking in all that had been said.
"El, where do you think these "Dragons" live?" Estel saked Ellandan.
"Exactly where the paper states, North." Ellandan replied sternly.
"let's go find it!" estel said leaping from his seat almost past Elrond before Elrond grabbed him and said "Wait, Aragorn listen this must be discussed with the counsel before anyone of Rivendel can go on an expedition."
All four of the youngsters groaned, they knew what that meant a whole day of arguing, discussing and persuading at all the possible ways this could be done.
The next day the council met at the open air room. As the four friends predicted all morning the council discussed all the ways by which why should they go looking off for a village that could be non-existent. Just before the lunch break Arwen came walking in holding another small yet old scroll.
"Parden for interrupting your discussing but Mithil found another scroll while getting rid of some nuisances." and handed her father the paper and left.
Glorfindel scrunched up his nose because ofthe reminder of what he had spent all night getting rid of.
"Legolas would you read this scroll for all to hear." Elrond asked the green clad elf next to Glorfindel.
Legolas stood and nodded then started to read, "Dragon-shapers can take on any form they choose to have whether beast ofthe woods, or race of Middle Earth they can always change. Only two things I have observed that do not change about them. #1 Two silver bracelets on thier left arm that are permanently there from birth, these bracelets are usually of exotic design. #2 Their eyes never change color from the color they are born of their eyes are very important. Reds to oranges are the most common. Brown to blacks next common. Blues to grays less common. And Green the rarest of all. Because Green is so rare those with Green eyes are considered the Dragons royalty. Only one or two dragons will recieve such eyes in over a millenium...The rest of the scroll is too damaged to read." Legolas said finishing.
Then a silence came over the council till one of the older members said, "That is perposterous, besides even if they were real what reason have we to search for these dragon-shifters? Are we in need of help? Danger that we can not handle?" The old elf Melthic said finishing.
Most of the other elves head's were nodding in agreement. That was what closed the council. Everyone saw Melthic's point, Were they in danger that they saught help from dragons? No.
THe meeting was over and it left the four curious youngsters disappointed. They were all silent sitting in their chairs depressed as the water continued to fall in the waterfalls, birds were singing and the wind was silent in their midst. They all felt that they had nothing to say to the other.
This would soon change, changing every aspect of their lives. Going to go on a mission that they might fail in.
Krystal Fox: I hoped you liked the first chapter, I will try and update as soon as possible. I am just as excited as you about how this story will turn out.
Legolas: That's what I mean, You could kill me before the end of this!!
Krystal Fox: Now why would I do that when I could just kill off Gondor's heir.
Legolas: You wouldn't
Krystal Fox: Would I now?
Legolas: ARAGORN!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
