"Panther?" Liliana finally asked me and I lay on my stomach on a rock. "Yes?" I asked her. "What are you doing?" She asked me and I sighed. "Isn't it obvious? I'm being bored." I replied in my usual calm voice. "Actually it looks like you just lost a fight with a branch." Liliana said while a leaf fell out of my hair. "It was a worthy opponent." I mumbled to her.
Yes, right before we left the forest my face decided to have a conversation with a branch. I was just happy only Liliana saw my usual daily fail. Yes, I'm not some elegant being; I do something stupid all the time. It's who I am and damnit, I'm proud of it. I looked around me. We were on a mountain and the wildlife was far behind us. Now it was just rocks and dirt covering the area.
It was dreadfully boring. To make matters worse I'm seen as an incompetent pet to Liliana, who I found out was the daughter of a small time wizard that was Gandalf's acquaintance and she was a runaway. Well I already knew she was a runaway, but didn't know about the whole "I know Gandalf the Grey due to my father being a wizards and my mother being some rich broad.
Still being a pet sucked. The only person who will talk to me occasionally is Pippin. They think I'm weak since I'm a sidekick and I'm also kind of short. They also think I'm weak for working under a woman. I can't tell them otherwise due to me not wanting them to know she's the bitch. What, I don't like talking to others and that's what leaders are supposed to do and stuff. Therefore give the responsibility of those who are under you.
"I'm going to go ask Legolas for times with aiming a bow." Liliana said while getting up. "Don't get pregnant…" I mumbled. "Panther!" She scolded while going red and I chuckled. She threw an apple at me, which was her way of saying 'You should eat, but I'm still pissed off at you' type of thing. It happens a lot actually and I can tell Liliana likes the hot men, which is why I always tease her. She reminded me of a friend I used to have, who was a huge flirt and was also attractive. Sadly this meant I always looked like a potato next to her. But now I have a cloak, so I'm a mysterious mystic potato of doom!
I looked up and saw Boromir showing the Hobbits how to fight. I turned my head and saw something in the distance. I stood up and took a bite of the apple I was given. I noticed Legolas was standing next to me along with Liliana. "What's that?" Liliana asked, a bit worried. "Just a dust of clouds." Gimli answered. "Does dust have the ability to move extremely fast and against the wind and look like birds?" I asked in a calm voice. Legolas said something which made everyone hide.
I grabbed Liliana's hand and moved her into an opening in the rocks we were standing on and we peeked out. A huge flock of, I think, crows moved overhead. Once they were gone Liliana got up as did everyone else. I tried…I did. Although the rock's ledge was a bit steep and I was just a tad short. Liliana was lucky since if I had been three or four inches taller I'd have no problem.
Now I felt like a hobbit. "Spies…we must take the pass of…" I zoned out while trying to get out of the hole. The others were about to leave while I was still struggling. "Panther…?" Liliana said and I noticed some of them stopped. "Are you stuck?" She asked with her eyebrow raised. "Maybe…" I mumbled and she started to laugh while I went beet red. "Geez, how do you always get into these situations? People think you're all mysterious when you're really just an anti-social clumsy kid." She said with her hands on her hips.
"I'm not a kid…" I mumbled under my breath. "Right, and you're also not stuck in between rocks due to being too short to climb out so I can just walk away." Liliana said and I heard some of the hobbits laugh at the scene we were making. She started to walk away and pride prevented me from calling out to get help. I tried one again to jump out, only to fail once again. Why did I always end up embarrassing myself, this is why I'm antisocial. I'm a fuck up.
Well now I'm just here…stuck in a hole. I felt arms wrap around my waist and I was brought out of the hole and turned. "Thank you…" I said, blushing madly. It was the elf…this just means I truly fail as an elf if I had to get helped from another. Damn. He smiled a bit and knew it was kind of a mocking thing…well maybe. He was a nice guy so maybe it was a polite thing. Who cares, I was out of the hole.
I followed behind until Liliana finally said she was sorry.
I hate the world. I hate snow too. So put me in a world with snow will make me a homicidal maniac. So why am I in a world full of snow. Because of that person who sent those birds make us change directions. Why does everything go wrong in these stories?
I was right behind Frodo, just waiting. I saw him tumble back a bit and caught him. What, the more Boromir touches the ring the crazier he gets and after he was beaten by Pippin and Merry I decided to spare him…if I could. "You okay, Frodo?" I asked once I caught him. He checked for his necklace, which was still there, and nodded. "Thank you." Frodo said and I nodded. "No problem…" I said softly and we kept walking.
Okay so I hate heights too and now I'm at the edge of a cliff in the snow trying to keep balanced from the harsh winds. I hade Merry and Pippin right in front of me and Liliana was behind me. The winds were cold, and I hated it. I am a pessimistic bitch and I don't care!
After awhile I had Merry and Pippin hiding in my cloak from the cold, and I also wanted to make sure they were safe. They clung to my leg in order for them not to sink. I heard a voice, but it was feint. "There's a foul voice in the air/" Legolas said from the front of the group. "Saruman is bringing the mountain down!" Gandalf yelled and suddenly some snow fell from the top, not hitting us thankfully.
Gandalf and Aragorn were saying something, but I was too busy holding onto Merry and Pippin so zone in on it. I saw a flash of lightning and it struck the top of the mountain. This one did hit us. The snow was cold and I held two small hobbits near. I quickly brought them to the surface before getting myself out. "We need to get off the mountain. We'll take the path to Rohan!" Boromir yelled. "Rohan brings us too close to Isengard." Aragorn said.
"Let us go under it, in the mines or Moria." Gimli suggested and Gandalf looked…scared perhaps? "Let the Ring Bearer decide." Gandalf finally said while Frodo thought. "We must get out of here, this will be the death of the Hobbits." Boromir said and I knew it was true. Merry and Pippin where shivering like crazy and they were in my cloak. I held onto them tighter at this, worried for them. "We will go through the mines." Frodo finally said and Gandalf looked defeated.
"Dwarf walls are well hidden, not even masters can find them. Although some of their secrets are forgotten." Gimli said while hitting some stone to find the door. "Why doesn't that surprise me?" Legolas said and Liliana giggled. Well, I found her next poor victim. She would go after Legolas now…let's see how that goes for her.
"You're starting to sound like Panther." Liliana said while walking next to him. "Is that so?" He asked while glancing at me. "Liliana, I think we both no, nobody can be more obnoxious than me…other than you." I said as an after thought. "Hey!" She pouted and I laughed. "I'm just happy you mellowed down over the years." I said. "What do you mean by that? You saying I used to be dumb?" She asked me in a serious tone.
"Dumber than a brick." I said right back. "Oh ya, explain one thing I did." She said while pouting. "Oh yes, remember when we went on that delivery trip to The Shire. You went on and on about this story and then asked me if I had any stories worth telling. "Yes, once I went into this town to help a damsel in distress after losing something important. Now I am cursed to be stuck with her for all my adventures." And you had asked if the girl died and now haunted me as a ghost, remember?" I asked her and she nodded. "What about it?" She asked suspiciously.
"That girl, ya that was you." I said and she froze while I walked ahead. "That's so mean!" She whined. "You would be mean to if you had to listen to a story about a man you met at a bar who you threatened, although you had no idea what you would do if he didn't back off. I was going insane!" I replied and she pouted. "Why'd I have to get stuck with you?" she mumbled to herself.
"Because I'm fun, sarcastic, strong, fast, witty, and I have a very nice face." I said with a smirk. "How should I know, I've never seen it." She replied. "The beauty of it is known to blind others, so I must keep it hidden." I dawdled on. "Then you forgot to put narcissistic on your list." She huffed. "Oh yes, I'll make sure to put that in there the next time someone wonders why they put up with me." I said and I made her pout even more.
Once we found the door Gandalf said some weird words and it began glowing once the moon struck it. He translated what it said, but what struck me was "Speak friend and enter" which was a pretty easy riddle to solve. I laid down a bit, waiting for all of Gandalf's failed attempts at opening the damn thing. I saw Pippin about to throw a rock in the water. "I wouldn't do that, Pippin. Who knows what lurks in these waters." I warned and he put the rock down with a sad expression. Gandalf was still at the door and I sighed.
"You know I once hear a rich man say he's always find a lazy person to do a hard job, because they'd find an easier way to do it." I stated and Gandalf looked at me. "What do you mean by that?" He asked me and I smirked. "Friend" I said in Sindarin and the door started to make noises. "Never think too hard about things. It's says on the door to speak friend therefore you say friend." I said with a chuckle as the door opened.
We walked in and looked around. "Yes, you will soon see the hospitalities of the dwarves. A warm fire…" I zoned out once my foot hit something. I bent down to inspect it, only to have Gandalf turn on the light of his staff and see a skull. I flinched away from him and Gimli had a bit of a scene. "We need to get out of here, now." Boromir said and we all were about to leave once Frodo stretched. A tentacle wrapped around his leg and he was now dangling above the water with a giant monster.
"What is that?!" I asked while getting throwing some knives I picked up in the mine. Hey, I wasn't going to use mine. I only use them when I have a feeling I'll get them back. Boromir cut one of the tentacles off and due to the pain the beast released Frodo. I quickly coated a dagger in poison and threw it. We ran back inside. Then the beast hit the walls, making the entrance blacked off. I don't know if the poison killed it, but it slowed it down. Now to deal with the situation on hand…I'm in a cave. I fucking hate caves.
Heyo~ new chapter is now up. So sad I didn't get anyone to answer my question (it twas a stupid idea anyway). So anyway in this chapter you get to see the start of everything. Also next chapter you'll see what would happen if I went into the cave (although I'd probe puke from anxiety) so that's what you can look forward to next week on Tuesday. Right now it's hard to sort any thoughts at all since I'm FaceTiming a friend of mine from this one app so ya. Anyway hope you like the chapter and oh before I forget. I have a poll on my profile so check that out if you can.
Nyan-chan says: ...Thanks Nyan-chan, she's sick in case you wanted to know. Anyway I better get going, love you all~ Bye~
