Blabbing Vebriclya
"Can't we rest for a second?" Merry and Pippin wined.
"Shut up you lazy bums. Even the ladies are not complaining." Boromir rolled his eyes.
They did not have any rest. But once every ten minutes or so, Sam's "I'm hungry" started. Everyone gave up and rested on a rocky hill. Frodo and Sam started to munch on their apples. Vebriclya played her flute. Legolas stood on a rock while humming a tune to him. Boromir was practicing his sword with Merry and Pippin. Aragorn sat there watching the tournament. Hothien was picking some flowers near by. Gimli was chopping some rocks in half with his ax. Finduilas just stared at everyone.
"So," Aragorn looked over at Vebriclya, "Why don't you act more of a lady like? You are a princess, and princesses aren't supposed to practice archery on their free time."
"I prefer hitting the center of the target rather than acting like Arwen." Vebriclya spoke, "And try not to talk to me very much, please. I have a habit of talking forever when I start. You see, I had this problem since when I was young, and I still have it. My mother tried to fix this problem, but she gave up. She died before I was twenty, so she couldn't have fixed it completely anyway. Do you know how old I am? I'm 2, 634 years old. That's pretty young for an elf, don't you think? And…" Just then, Vebriclya noticed everyone was looking at her with shock. "Oh dear," she said, "I did it again."
"I, I guess I shouldn't have asked you." Said Aragorn, "I'll keep my mouth shut."
"There is something ahead of us," Legolas murmured, "and I am afraid they are not friendly ones."
"What can they be?" Frodo asked with his mouth, full of apples.
"They are Saruman's crows!" Legolas exclaimed.
"Hide!" Aragorn ordered.
The four hobbits hid behind a rock. Aragorn and Gandalf hid behind the bush. Boromir and Gimli hid under a rock. Finduilas, Vebriclya, and Hothien hid behind another bush. Legolas crouched down and hid in the grass. As they hid, they saw the crows going pass above them. They finally went back to Isengard.
"That was a close one," said Gandalf, "This place is too dangerous for us. We must go up to the mountains. After we pass through the mountains, we will…"
"Go into Moria," interrupted Gimli.
"What the heck are you thinking?" Gandalf shouted, "Moria is too dangerous."
Gandalf remembered the tale of Moria that was told in Isengard when he was a captive.
"Don't worry! My father will greet you when we meet." Gimli persuaded.
"Let the Ring bearer choose." Said Legolas.
Frodo thought for a while then he said, "We will go through Moria."
While they traveled, Gimli went on with his story about the dwarf cave. The hobbits, the elves, and the two men kept closing their ears. Gandalf was too polite.
At last, they reached the gate of Moria.
"How about you make a group of two, then if we get parted, at least you have a partner." Aragorn insisted.
"Aye aye, sir." Boromir answered sarcastically.
After a great amount of time wasted on deciding the groups, they decided to have Gandalf with Sam, Aragorn with Frodo and Pippin, Boromir with Hothien, Gimli with Merry, and Legolas with Vebriclya.
"But what about me?" asked Finduilas.
"You must go back to Rivendell," Aragorn gave an advice.
"Just because I don't have a sword? Or because I wasn't chosen formally? Whatever. I'll just go back. Hope you all have a safe journey."
Finduilas kissed Aragorn on the cheek, and turned back. At this point, none of the fellowship did realize that they were in a great danger. No one knew that turning Finduilas back was a big mistake.
"Well let's not waste any more time. Mellon!" Gandalf shouted.
As the wizard spoke the magic word, the gate of Moria opened. The fellowship slowly went inside. But as soon as they stepped on the first step, orcs that were hiding shut the gate. Then they attacked. Unfortunately, they fellowship separated because of the sudden attack. While Aragorn, Frodo, and Pippin fought with the orcs, the others scattered inside the cave.
"Can't we rest for a second?" Merry and Pippin wined.
"Shut up you lazy bums. Even the ladies are not complaining." Boromir rolled his eyes.
