2nd shard of The Queen
Something must have gone wrong on the journey as the shard from the Queen had split into five even pieces and from them tiny children had been born from.
Where are our soul-mate, Mother?
Be patient children they shall come. In the mean time save the animals from dying.
The children used their powers to give life back to the dying forest as their mother had ordered.
Their naked bodies became covered in ancient chinese clothing that was befitting of princesses. The animals who were revived from their deaths gathered around the children and also brought food as gifts. The evil that had poisoned the forest felt their presence and began to go towards them.
"Spiders how cute", one of the girls said.
Just as the spider attacked and once it touched the head of the black-haired little girl ice covered it and when that ice broke a beautiful white spider was brought out.
'Mistress', the spider bowed.
When the other spiders saw this they immediately ran away.
Radagast who had heard from a bird ran to the scene immediately and found spiders passing him by in fright. As he looked at what they had run away from he found five adorable girls that looked the same.
"Hello mister", their melodious voice spoke.
"Hello, who are you?", he asked as he stared at them. He was much more used to deal with animals than humans.
"Hello, we are Alba".
"All of you are named Alba?".
The little girl in front of him nodded.
"We are one and the same", she stated as if it should be obvious.
Radagast looked at her and the rest. The bird had told him that they had healed the dying forest animals. Then he also noticed the giant spider and also another girl petting it. It seemed very obedient and docile compared to those dark spiders. Just as he thought about those dark spiders.
"You cannot stay here for too long. The forest is dangerous", Radagast said and felt the evil spread around the other parts of the forest.
"Then we shall find the source then", the girls said and before he knew they had started walking along the way.
Radagast wasn't a bastard. He couldn't make five defenceless girls face such big evil on their own. Naturally he came with them when they couldn't be persuaded to not go.
They arrived at the abandoned fortress. The place stank evil. Radagast became scared but started walking towards it anyway.
"This place would make a fine home", Alba I said.
"Certainly", Alba IV agreed.
As they walked inside the dark fortress ghosts of previous kings appeared. Radagast fought them off.
"We need to leave!", he urged them.
The girls didn't move.
"Look a lich-man", Alba III pointed.
"It's a necromancer", Alba II stated.
"You're both are right", Alba V said before facing the evil himself.
Be careful my children. You can win if you fight but it would be better to contain that evil.
A bowl appeared in Alba V's hand.
"Mother has told me to capture it. It cannot be destroyed yet", Alba V showed the bowl to everyone else. "Gather around Alba".
The other Albas stood in ring formation as Radagast was busy fighting of the ghosts of dead kings.
"Radagast the Brown come closer to us and you shall receive protection".
Radagast came closer as he stood between Alba III and Alba I.
"Lets begin", Alba V's eyes began to glow like the other Albas' eyes did.
You who are born from darkness
You who are born out of evil
You who inherited hatred
Your powers shall weaken
From the beginning was the word and the word was good.
The word meant life
All who threatens life shall be eliminated
Hatred and evil shall not win
We banish you the nameless servant
We strip you off your powers
The defiler, the nameless, the defiler, the nameless...
The evil was drawn into the bowl as he tried to not get bound to the bowl. The bowl was filled with dark liquid that was covered with ice. You could hear the bangings of the evil still. It would quieten down though.
Once the evil had been sealed Radagast could already sense the life coming back to the fortress. Dead plants began to bloom and the statues of dead kings looked at them as if they were smiling.
"Mother told us to tell you to get lady Galadriel here. Although the evil has been sealed it can be released by an outside force. We need someone powerful to guard it until the ring of power is destroyed", Alba said in united voices that really did scare the hell out of them.
Radagast and the girls hopped unto a sleigh as the girls turned the rabbits into big ones and they drove them towards Lothlórien.
Galadriel was surprised that Radagast who preferred the company of animals would come visit her.
"Lady Galadriel, we have come to ask you to guard the sealed evil inside this bowl", he said and Alba III handed the bowl towards her. "It was this evil that poisoned my forest and almost killed it the animals inside".
Galadriel looked at the black liquid beneath the ice and heard its cries and banging to be let outside.
"Who sealed it?".
"We did", Alba said in union.
"Impossible", Lord Celeborn uttered in suspicion.
"It is true", Radagast said. "I saw their power with my own eyes".
"Tell me children who are you and from where do you come from?", Lady Galadriel peacefully asked.
"We are Alba. We come from mother".
"And who is your mother?".
"Mother is mother".
"Yes, but do explain who your mother is".
"Mother is mother".
"It seems like we won't get anything more from them", her husband said. "Let's focus on the evil in your hand. Girls how did you seal it?".
"With magic".
"What kind of magic?".
"This type of magic", and the Alba showed them.
"They have the same magic as Thorin's lover. Perhaps we should make a visit there", Lord Celeborn whispered.
The girls ended up confined in case they would become a danger. Radagast became a bit worried and concerned about them but realized that it was better to keep quiet.
It was no news that Thorin had taken himself a male lover. Not just any male lover but also the one who could defeat the dragon Smaug and killing thousands of orcs. The dwarves became all arrogant after getting the one-man army themselves. They were also happy though that Thorin valued the boy more than the gold as that would keep him from "Dragon-sickness". The only worry that the men would have now though was getting an heir. Everyone knew a male couldn't give birth to an heir.
Soon a horde of elves arrived. Everyone bowed as Lady Galadriel entered the halls of Erebor. The whole place had been restored but there was also some personal touches to the decorations.
As Lasy Galadriel and Lord Celeborn walked towards Thorin who sat on his throne with dignity and a tired face.
"State your intentions", he said a bit hatefully hoping they wouldn't ask for forgiveness.
"We did not come to discuss the past. We are here because of these five girls", she had them pushed forward.
The girls couldn't be more older the nine or ten years old in human years. They all had long black hair. They looked the same and they had the same golden eyes as Noel.
"Explain", he narrowed his eyes.
"A few days ago, these girls came to our realm and gave us this bowl", Lady Galadriel had a servant dwarf take the golden bowl to the king.
"What is this?", the dwarf king inspected it.
"It sealed the evil that poisoned woods of which where Ragastad the Brown resided in. There is a great evil sealed inside. The girls as you can realize where the ones who sealed them. Their powers are very strong".
"And you feel threatened", the dwarf king figured.
"No, we are cautious. And we have come here to find out the source of their power".
"Because it is the same as Noel's you wish to interrogate him", the dwarf king stood up.
"No, we wish to merely ask him about the mother that these girls speak off".
"Mother is mother", the Alba said united.
Thorin's eyes glossed over them and smiled. He told his servant to get his lover.
Thorin thought about his lover and his mysterious past. Of course he had no intention to find out or cared about his lover's past but he was curious.
Noel came inside. His dress was white and had a very low cleavage. Thorin felt his throat tickle a bit and his eyes became quite passionate as he looked at his lover. He wanted run his tongue all over his body. Hide him away from everyone.
"Thorin what is this about?", his lover's face was completely neutral but his eyes smiled.
It seemed like that it was only when Noel and he were alone that his facial expressions began to vary.
"Lady Galadriel wishes to speak with you", he simply said.
Noel turned and saw his sister.
"Brother", the Alba said in unison.
"Alba? What are you here for?".
"We don't know. The Lady here took us here to see you. She wants to know who mother is".
"Mother is mother", Noel said expressionless.
"That's what we said".
"What we want to know are your origins", Lady Galadriel felt like they would get nowhere if she didn't get more specific.
"We understand we shall ask our mother for permission to tell you this truth", Noel closed his eyes.
Suddenly it was as if he had changed even though everything about him had remained unchanged. His began to glow brighter.
"Speak, Galadriel. What do you wish to know about my children", Noel spoke but it wasn't his voice.
The voice was more female and sent chills to everyone hearing it.
"I want to know about their powers. I can't read their minds nor see their memories".
"It is because they were born just a few days ago. They don't have any childhood memories".
Noel pointed his hand into the air as he showed how he was born from the shard of his mother as well as the rest of the children.
"Who are you?", Galadriel felt a bit faint.
Noel's eyes glowed at her for the moment before showing how the world was created. "Stars collided into each other as if they were fighting. Gravity soon took place and forged this universe. Middle-Earth was more round than Earth itself. Then the light in the universe died. Eru arrived and a word was whispered. Light appeared and he built his kingdom above this world. Eru created the gods to watch this planet. They later created their own creatures". A picture of Yavanna appeared. "Eru created the gods but he also created the very soul embodiment of water, earth, fire and wind. They were the unseen great spirit of this world. The one who made the seasons change, the one who made it possible for rain, for the things to grow. The great spirit seemed lonely and so Eru created a partner to rule the spirit world beside him". In front of everyone a young woman with black hair, gold eyes and sun-kissed skin appeared. She had huge pale blue wings behind her which were used to covere her naked body when created. "The great spirit however seemed to have fallen in love with a valier". Eru's creation didn't want to have anything to do with her own creator nor with any of the other creations. They saw her leave for the north where she remained for billions of years alone. The scene ended with a close up on her beautiful pale skin, long eyelashes, cherry-kissed lips and cold golden-eyes. "I am The Queen of Winter and the mother to these children. My duty is to keep this world alive".
Noel closed his eyes and his eyes returned to normal as he decided to hug the stunned Thorin.
"Now you know who mother is. Don't ask again", the Alba said in unison. "We shall return to the place we were born at as we are needed there".
