Ch.4- Time for an adventure!
Crystal awoke in the morning just as the sun was coming over the horizon. She yawned and stretched, trying to rid her limbs of their stiffness. As her sleepiness crept out of her brain, leaving her mind clear, she realized that Ron was gone. Surprisingly enough, she could remember some of what she had done the day before. The memory of kissing Ron slipped into her train of thought, and Crystal subconsciously blushed. Shaking her head to banish the embarrassing memory, Crystal stood up and walked into the main hall. A long table had been placed in the middle of the hall, replacing the many, smaller scattered tables from the night before. The table was piled with foods such as bread, cheese, and fruit, and along the table a few villagers were helping themselves to the feast.
As she grabbed some food Crystal's mind worked on analyzing the situation. Events were just getting weirder and weirder. She wasn't even in any part of the Lord of the Rings books now. She was just in some screwed up dimension that held the appearance of Middle Earth and held the characters within it. And how could she explain Ron being here? Again, the memory of the kiss unwillingly snuck into her mind. Shaking her head once more, Crystal walked outside and stood on a balcony munching a small loaf of bread.
The wind blew softly through the streets, twisting Crystal's dress around her and sending her hair this way and that. As Crystal stood looking out across the plains, the wind sent her an echo of someone's voice from below.
"Milady!" the echo sounded. Crystal looked down, and caught the beautiful eyes of Legolas. She waved, then ran down the steps to meet him.
"Good morning!" she said cheerfully.
"Good morning, milady. Gandalf the White wishes to hold council with you and the red-haired one."
"Oh.but I don't really know where Ron is," sighed Crystal.
"I will send for him, then. Come, Lady Crystal." Legolas held out his for Crystal to take. She smiled and slipped her arm through his. Legolas proceeded in leading Crystal to a grand hallway. Inside were Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli, Merry, and Pippin. The hobbits grinned at her, and Crystal smiled and gave a small wave in reply.
"Ah, there you are!" spoke Gandalf. "Did you sleep well?"
"Very well, thanks," Crystal sat down. Legolas spoke something to Pippin, who left as Legolas sat down.
"So what's the meeting for?" Crystal asked Gandalf.
"We need your help. Frodo seems to have gone missing."
"Missing?"
"Yes. He no longer resides in the realm of this story." Crystal raised an eyebrow. The situation was definitely getting weirder. Just then Ron came in and sat down beside Crystal. Pippin went back to his spot beside Merry. Ron smiled at Crystal.
"We must find Frodo before it is too late," said Aragorn.
"Well, what are we waiting for?"
"Gandalf is still trying to catch scent of Frodo's trail."
"And I do believe I have found a trace," said Gandalf. "Frodo has more than likely escaped into the story of 'Peter Pan'."
"Yay! I love Peter Pan!" Crystal exclaimed. Her sentence echoed through the hall as everyone stared queerly at Crystal. "Sorry."
"Sooo.," Ron broke the silence, "how do we get into the story?"
"I will simply transport us there," replied Gandalf.
"So let's go!"
"Not so fast, Crystal. We must get provisions ready for our journey."
"Oh.."
"We should be ready to depart by noon. If you wish to leave the hall for now, I will send an escort to fetch you when it is time to go."
"Thanks! Come on, Ron." Crystal grabbed Ron's hand and led him outside.
"Can we talk?" she asked as they walked along the road.
"Sure. What about?"
"Last night..I..I want you to understand that..well..I was drunk, and."
"Oh." Ron frowned slightly. He shouldn't have hoped.
"Well.umm yeah.ok?"
"I understand."
"Thanks." Crystal hugged Ron, then smiled and continued walking, Converses scuffling on the cobblestones.
They walked for a few more minutes in silence, just enjoying each other's company, until a messenger came and told them they were to follow him. Gandalf had ordered that they get weapons fitted for them.
"Weapon fitting? Why not just grab a sword and go?" Crystal asked as they followed behind the guide. Ron shrugged.
Ron and Crystal were led into a large room filled with all sorts of weapons and targets.
"The Royal Armory," the man announced, then left the room. Curious, Crystal grabbed a bow and an arrow from the wall and aimed it at one of the hanging targets scattered around the room. She let go of the string, which shot the arrow with amazing speed. The arrow missed its target, but only by a little.
"Wow!" Ron stared at Crystal in amazement. Crystal grinned proudly.
"Yes, you have talent indeed." The tow jumped as Aragorn stepped into the room. Crystal gingerly placed the intricately carved bow back on its peg.
"No, take it," Aragorn said, "you will need it. Now both of you pick a sword." Crystal hung the bow across her back and grabbed a somewhat thin sword from a nearby shelf. It was made of silver, the handle white gold with gold laced in difficult patterns all around it. A dark ruby rested at the top of the handle. There was also Elvish writing encrypted on the blade. Ron grabbed a heavy sword and tested it out, swinging it around. He shook his head and replaced the heavy sword with a lighter one, this one with an inscripted blade as well.
"Good. Now to see if these swords suit you." Aragorn tested them both in a duel, the results satisfactory. Ron and Crystal buckled the swords around their waists, and Crystal grabbed some arrows for her bow. They headed out and followed Aragorn to the meeting hall, where packs were scattered here and there.
"Are we ready to go?" Crystal asked no one in particular.
"Yes. Grab a pack and gather over here," said Gandalf. The two obeyed, grabing identical packs and standing by Gandalf. When everyone else arrived, Gandalf took out a long rope.
"Now, everyone hold tight and do not let go." Everyone grabbed a section of rope. When Gandlaf saw that everyone was ready he concentrated on sending the group to the realm of Peter Pan. The scenery began to swirl and change around them. The swirling made Crystal extremely dizzy. She tried to hold onto the rope, but she went out of focus and let go. Crystal was flung into the dangerous Neverland, alone.
