Chapter #14:
Galadriel and Celeborn went swiftly to where the "Survivor's Club" had met. The members looked up in shock as they entered.
"This madness had gone on long enough," Galadriel said sternly. "Now we are some of the most powerful people around. We cannot, I repeat cannot, allow a few pages with cruel words written on them to defeat us."
"I don't want to risk going in there again," Gandalf said quickly, "it's too terrible."
"What we need," Arwen said thoughtfully, "are reinforcements. People who we can convince to come. Also they have to be people who we can send in and not feel bad if they are forced to hear the story."
"In other words people who are already insane," Gandalf mused with a smile. "I think all we have to do is to go back over those involved in the War of the Ring."
"Don't forget Thranduil," Glorfindel added, "he won't want to miss this."
"I'll send messengers out as quickly as possible," Elrond announced.
And that's how the "Survivor's Club" became the "Stop Legolas' Story Group" or the SLSG for short.
Meanwhile Legolas continued to go on and on as he told his story.
The journey down the long and winding river began with a fight between Aragorn and Boromir. Legolas finally had to separate them by having them each sit in a different boat.
"We didn't even fight while we were going down the river!" Aragorn burst out.
"We only sulked," Boromir pointed out.
"Actually," Frodo interjected, "you guys did fight."
"Legolas was right about something," Pippin yelled, "it's the end of the world!"
"It does imply a certain amount of distress in the universe," Gimli mused, "but as long as this story doesn't become a widely spread legend we're all right." The comment did not amuse Legolas.
Legolas and Gimli were in the same boat. Unfortunately Gimli was unable to reach the water with his paddle and so was no help at all. Once again the dwarf's height was causing problems.
"Stop making height jokes!" Gimli roared. "I paddled just as much as you did elf! Height has nothing to do with paddling!" Aragorn patted Gimli's arm consolingly.
Despite having Gimli for a partner Legolas could have out-rowed them all.
"Sure," Sam scoffed, "because Legolas is the best boat-paddle-er in ALL of Middle Earth."
