Legolas stared at Lokelani through from behind his glass of iced tea.
Lokelani felt his eyes, but quickly looked away. He continued to stare.
"Will you stop staring at me??" Lokelani said exasperated.
"I'm sorry my lady, you have such rare beauty." Legolas responded. Lokelani blushed.
"People don't normally say things like that to me." she said, trailing off. "Ok enough about all that.how do you suppose you got here?"
"Well, I must admit I'm not sure.this must be a different world than that I am from." Legolas began.
"Yes, of course it is." Lokelani said "I know all about Middle Earth, and most of the fates of all of those you care for."
"What??" Legolas asked, shocked. "Do you have the gift of foresight?"
Lokelani laughed. "No, of course not. Follow me, let me show you" Lokelani said, and got up and lead Legolas to her room.
"Are these your chambers, my lady?" Legolas asked.
"Yes" Lokelani laughed, "More formally known as my room. And please just call me Lokelani" she said as she rummaged through a pile of books and CD cases on her desk. "Aha!" Lokelani said softly as she found her huge Lord of the Rings trilogy book. "This is how I know everything about your world, and your companions." Lokelani showed Legolas the book.
"The Lord of the Rings trilogy.includes the Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King" Legolas said as he read the front cover. He went to open the book, but Lokelani's hand slapped the cover back down.
"Wait.what you read could cause you to change your future actions, and therefore change future events.anything could cause the future to take a serious turn for the worst." Lokelani said, her eyes wide with apprehension. "What year was it in Middle Earth, when you came here?"
"It was the year 3017 of the third age" Legolas said.
"Well you defiantly CANNOT read these books, or even look at them, because everything in these occurs after 3017.actually about a year after.has Gollum been brought to your father by Aragorn yet?" Lokelani said.
Legolas paused and looked at her suspiciously. "Yes." he said, his eyes narrowed. "If everything in this book is after the year in which I am in, then how do you know that?" "In the back of the book, there is a huge index, telling about everything that happened before the books and after. The index starts at the beginning of the Second Age, and contains the Third Age and some of the Fourth Age." Lokelani explained. "The author also has many things about different families in Middle Earth, and the Numenor, the line of kings of Gondor." Lokelani went on.
"Who was this man?" Legolas asked.
"J.R.R. Tolkien" Lokelani responded. "It is said that he made up all of the Middle Earth languages and everything about it.but apparently that was just a cover-up, unless of course, I'm dreaming.which seems way more logical than the latter."
"I suppose he must have gotten to Middle Earth in the same fashion that I got to this world." Legolas said, thinking. "Wait! I've just remembered! I remember my father talking about something with Mithrandir one day, saying that no one should know about it, that it must be kept secret, a time portal that can transfer creatures to Middle Earth or from Middle Earth to another world, a planet called Earth, that had no elves or hobbits, or anything magical, simply men, and they were more advanced in technology than the peoples of Middle Earth."
"How did you get through the time portal? What were you doing?" Lokelani asked.
"Well, I was simply taking a walk through the forest, and I climbed a tree, and there were strange markings on the trunk at the top, and when I touched them, there was a flash, and I felt my body jerk, and I landed on the ground, and I was here." Legolas said.
"Come show me outside, where you came in or whatever." Lokelani said, and began to walk outside.
"It was somewhere over there, by that enormous odd looking tree." Legolas said, pointing to the Kapok tree.
They went over and investigated it. Legolas climbed up to the top, and Lokelani climbed up after him.
"You can climb trees quickly like that of an elf. Are you sure you are not one?" Legolas asked, impressed.
"I doubt it. How is that possible? Even though I don't look like normal Hawaiians, I don't think its possible I could be an elf." Lokelani responded.
"You have a strange glow to your face, like that of the ancient and high elves. There is a time portal on the grounds of your home. It is possible for you to have elf blood." Legolas said. "Look! Its markings like I saw on the tree in Mirkwood. My lady, come see!"
Lokelani ran up the branches gracefully and with ease to the spot where Legolas was, at almost the very top of the vast tree. He was sitting straddle on the branch, and took Lokelani's hand to help her up, and she sat next to him. Legolas pointed to the trunk, where there were markings in an oval shape. The markings looked like neither runes nor Elvish, perhaps a mixture of all the writings of Middle Earth. When Lokelani or Legolas' hands neared it, it would glow a dark green color.
"What should we do?" Lokelani asked Legolas.
"I suppose.well." Legolas began reluctantly.
"You belong in Middle Earth." Lokelani said, "You could never pass for normal in this world."
"Yes.well.would you like to come with me.Lokelani?" Legolas said, smiling at her.
"I.well I admit I'd love to.but.yes I'd love to!!" Lokelani answered, excited. "Do you think I'll be able to come back home?"
"I'm sure the portal will stay open.we can ask my father when we get back to the palace." Legolas said excitedly.
"Ok, so all we have to do is touch these markings?" Lokelani asked.
"I'm pretty sure.let us both touch it at the same time." Legolas answered.
"On 3.ready? 1.2.3." Lokelani said, and touched the markings in unison with Legolas, and felt the same as he told her he had-she saw a flash of bright light, and her body jerked.
"Will you stop staring at me??" Lokelani said exasperated.
"I'm sorry my lady, you have such rare beauty." Legolas responded. Lokelani blushed.
"People don't normally say things like that to me." she said, trailing off. "Ok enough about all that.how do you suppose you got here?"
