Chapter 2, Joy's Story
I backed away in fear. The goddesses only looked curiously at me. Rei tilted her perfect face and questioned me, her voice divine and smooth like water. "Tell me, my priestess, have you seen a beautiful golden elf walk in here lately?"
I shook my head furiously. A beautiful youth just came in a while ago, and he asked to see Aragorn. Why anybody want to see that body with no brains is beyond me, but when he showed me his winged horse and claimed it was his was where I really lost it. I ran straight to the palace, I didn't see prince Aragorn though, but I did tell Prince Celeborn to send the message through.
I am no fool like the young Prince Aragorn, I know a god when I see it, and that youth was definitely NOT normal. Then when I arrived back here I saw these three .beings.
(I will not fall into cliché again and describe Aphrodite (Olly) Athena (Rei) or Hera (Alexa) again.)
I recognized Rei in an instant, since I always looked upon her face in prayer. The fact that really freaked me out was that they weren't as tall as I thought they would be. Rei, the tallest of them all, is only about six feet.
Just then the prince Aragorn came in, he somehow was missing a sleeve and his tunic seemed very stretched. Nevertheless all of us Trondorians know Prince Aragorn when he was about, he was the charmer, as the ladies called it, as opposing to his brother, the warrior.
Aragorn looked up at the three goddesses and frowned. "May I care to know your ladies' names?"
LADIES? Is this guy an idiot or what! Ladies! Do ANY ladies have HALO on them (they have HALOS on them?) ? Great Goddess hadn't he at least seen ONE picture of Rei, or Olly, or Alexa?
Olly frowned, "YOU."
Her voice was so loud we had to hold onto the poles in order not to be blown away.
Aragorn apologized. "Oh I'm so sorry." FINALLY! I sighed. "Uh. ok, you are a bit tense on your.um. subjects." And you are a bit thick on all subjects, I added silently. "Now, where was that priestess who asked to see me?"
I was seriously beginning to doubt the royal family. Prince Celeborn was obviously Mr. All-muscles-and-no-brain and looks like Prince Aragorn is Mr. No-muscles-and-no-brain. How stupid could a person get to speak to someone else in front of the three divine GODDESSES? And I don't think he knows about the goddesses either.
Just then the stunning stranger came out of the chambers, all refreshed and clothed. (Need I to say the fact that he was. uncovered shall we say when he came to Joy?) To my horror all three goddesses lunged at him, their golden light blinding me for a second, and then to my surprise, they were practically yanking the stranger back and forth! (What do you expect Joy? They are REI, ALEXA, and OLLY for god's sake, and this is LEGOLAS we're talking about!)
I stared at the scene, dumbfounded. The three most beautiful goddesses were apparently holding onto a young man that seems so delicate that he appears to be made of silver. (DUH!) What was even more amazing was that all the goddesses somehow lost their majesty and dignity and started fighting.
"LET GO OLLY!" the goddess of wisdom shouted.
"Why should I?" The goddess of love whined. "Let go yourself."
"I reckon you two should both let go so I could have him!" Alexa, the great mother shouted.
"You?" Rei snared. "You've already got a husband you two-timer."
"Oh YEAH! How about you, huh? Don't you already have that warrior prince guy called Sauron back there in Greece?"
"You two!" Olly whined again, "stop fighting, it's not beautiful!"
"What ever!"
"Excuse me." the blond said, "can you please let go of me? You're ruining my hair."
I stepped in then, Elrond knows how three goddesses could act so childish and immature (I wonder I wonder). But I was sympathetic for the stranger and wanted to help. So I sneaked between all of them and grabbed the stranger and pulled him out from between the goddesses.
The three divine goddesses have completely forgotten the fact that the stranger was not there and continued fighting. An amazing sight, for all three had divine powers and soon Rei's temple (I want one as well!) was completely destroyed.
It took a complete 5 minutes for Rei to realize that. She abruptly stepped away from the other two and wailed. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY TEMPLE!"
(We give 1 minute of silence in order to lament for all glass windows shattered in Trondor that day *count 60 seconds *.)
"Great job Rei, maybe you could replace Elrond in the Olympendell." Olly commented.
"Would anyone care to explain to me what this is all about?" Aragorn shouted. And all three goddesses turned towards him, and me.
"We need to speak with Aragorn." Alexa said. "There is something divinely important for him to decide on."
"Who him?" I stared.
"Who me?" Aragorn sounded extremely like an elephant.
"Are you Aragorn?" The blond stranger asked.
"At your service" Aragorn grinned, I sourly wonder who would want Aragorn's service.
The blond stranger immediately broke into tears. "Oh Aragorn you HAVE to help me. You see Gimli the god of iron creates me, Legolas, and I am supposed to be the perfect male but the divine lord Elrond said that I needed the most beautiful immortal to become a perfect male and I don't know who to choose from the three goddesses!"
"Choose someone else." Ha, trust Aragorn to turn the perfect male into a perfect playboy. But I must admit Legolas's beauty is overwhelming. Just then I saw three pairs of eyes glaring at the back of Aragorn's neck and pulled him aside.
"I'm afraid that if you say any more the goddesses will burn you for dinner." I whispered. "I guess you must choose from the three because they have too much power." I hoped that my words were simple enough for him to comprehend.
"Why? Who are they?" I fell over then, somebody save me from this idiot! I quickly picked myself up.
"Don't you recognized the three divine goddesses when you see them?" I hoped that he could comprehend this.
"Huh?"
Oh man!
"Aragorn of Trondor, let me introduce you to, the goddess of wisdom and craft, Alexa, the goddess of womanhood, marriage and fertility and Olly."
"Wait, I recognize her, she's the goddess of sex."
I fainted once again.
When I woke up, I saw Aragorn happily chatting away with Legolas and there were already holes in his tunic because of death-glares coming from the three divine goddesses. Unfortunately, Mr. No-muscle, -no nerve- and- no- brains could not feel it.
".So you see, I need to decide and I can't, I mean I really want to be wise and cool just like Rei, or rich and famous like Alexa, or just have a beautiful woman." Aragorn was saying to Legolas, who was smiling very modestly and holding onto Aragorn's arm. "I mean all three sounds so good, why don't you just take all three of them so I could get all three choices?"
I wanted to die right there and right then, so I wouldn't suffer from this embarrassment, I mean what would the divine goddesses think about our country, dumb-dumb land?
"Elrond says that to become a perfect male, you need a perfect woman, he didn't mention anything about money or knowledge."
"Oh, typical male!" Alexa stepped in then, "Don't you how economic-wised is Middle-Mediterranean now? Money is all that counts.
"If you have knowledge you will have the power to make money!" Rei bellowed.
"If you have a woman though," Olly smiled. You won't have to worry about money or power, your wife will think for you."
Aragorn's face lit up. "Now THAT'S something I like, it is decided you three ladies. goddesses I'm sorry, the most beautiful of the goddesses is.. Olly, the goddess of sex!"
I fainted yet again.
EN Notes: Yo, yo, yo, peeps, this chap is actually pretty old, as to the next two. but I just changed computers so. yeah, don't blame me.
I'm feeing particularly smug at the moment cos I'm tormenting all of my friends, he, he, but I hope you all review anyway cos I'm going to cry if you don't do that, I mean hell ,this story is all about you after all and if you review. Maybe, just maybe, your lives wouldn't turn out that bad.
For other people who are not my friends, I don't care if you think this story suck; but do tell me your opinion if you do think so, so I can improve it. Because if you've already read up to chapter 4 and still haven't reviewed, then maybe it's not me who's the only slack one here.
