Okay. While yes, the majority of you guys are voting for Usa/Legolas, I'd still like to expirement with other couples. You may have noticed that I already did that with 'Happily Ever After: Just Like A Fairytale' where I made it a Merry/Usa. So, I was wondering if it would be okay with you guys if I made multiple endings, that way everyone would be happy? Um... I'm gonna make this a very short and uneventful chapter, so I can get feedback about my idea from you guys still, k? K. Um, yeah, here we go.
Pippin and Mamatoba had managed to sleep for no more than two hours, but the Fellowship set off anyways. They where hiking briskly up steep steps, slinking around rocks, and trying with utmost desperation to find the exit. After walking for at least four hours, Gandalf finally stopped them at a 'fork' in their path.
There were three passage ways, one gradually sinking deeper, another climbing higher, whereas the third led straight on. Gandalf studied each path intently, searching for any microscopic details that he may have overlooked at first glance.
"I'm afraid I do not remember this path," he muttered after a few minutes of futile searching.
"Then we shall wait," announced Mamatoba in a voice that sounded stronger than she felt, "for you may soon remember the way, and we wouldn't want to have gone the wrong path,"
Gandalf nodded at her kindly, seeming to have forgotten about the incident with the two rocks. He sat himself on a large rock jutting from the ground, and Frodo let go of Mamatoba's hand to join him.
The rest of the Fellowship gathered upon a cropping of rocks a few feet lower than that of Gandalf's, and discussed what they were currently in the mood for eating. Mamatoba was going on about a type of food she had dreamt of once, made of frozen cream, with many different flavors usually topped with cherries or chocolate, and occaisionally with strange cylindrical decorations the size of rice with the flavor of chocolate as well. Pippin, Merry, and Sam listened with gurgling stomachs at how delicious this food seemed, occaisionally mentioning foods they also liked.
After a few minutes of this discussion, Gandalf called out, "I've remembered,", and so they climbed up higher and double checked if their packs were fastened enough or not. They went down the path that lead downwards, the sudden darkness strange compared to the chamber that seemed lit with moonlight just moments before.
This darkness scared Mamatoba for some unknown reason, and she grabbed the hands of the two nearest people, who just so happened to Legolas and Aragorn. "Who just grabbed my hand?" two voices called out simutainioulsy. Mamatoba blushed in the darkness, and muttered, "It is I. I apoligize, but this darkness makes me uneasy, which made me grab for the two nearest hands, which happened to be yours,"
She heard Aragorn chuckle lightly and give her hand a reassuring squeeze, as did Legolas (minus the chuckle). She smiled lightly and the corridor seemed to illuminate. She seemed shocked, 'Did my smile do that?' But then she looked ahead and noticed that the crystal on Gandalf's staff was glowing again.
She sighed in relief, and grinned up at Legolas, who was giving her a reassuring smile now. They walked along the way in silence, fear crawling up their spines, and the courage in their heart wavering. Something was going to happen, and it would NOT be good.
Alrighty, I'm sorry that it was so sort, but I promise the next chap. will be longer, k? K. Um, to Alexia Goddess, I'll try, I'll try... just I won't try till the next chapter. :)
P. S. I've thought of a title, it's 'Mamatoba, Sister of Gimli, Daughter of Gloin'. This is so you know, because under that title is where you'll find the next chapter, alright? Alrighty!
