Shadow and Flame
Disclaimer: Umm...I dunno errr...here is a penny go away.
A/N: I was slightly inspired by a really crazy soccer game I had w/my friend, we called it the wizards soccer game, I was Gandalf and she was Saruman...you get it don't you?
Chapter 11, Ohhh elves!
After Shade had finished her story, Thèoden, Boromir, and every within hearing was laughing so hard they were crying. Gandalf chuckled to himself. Shade had emphasized every thing that she had said to Saruman that seemed funny; trying to hide the whole ordeal with the Orcs, but Pippin being himself took over the story till they had parted company, he gave an account of what had happened to Merry and himself first though. Shade tried to tell them that he was just exaggerating, and it had taken a few minutes to calm Boromir and the others down, Shade had to practically shout the Orc, Ugluk was probably dead already. Most likely killed when the Ents stormed the place. And if he wasn't dead he had probably run away.
But after all was said and done, Thèoden, Gandalf, Shade the hobbits and every one else was given a lunch and a full tore of what was once, the great Isengard.
Through it all Legolas was fascinated by the Ents. He had asked on several occasions about them. Until finally Shade took him to the back of the group and told him about them, or at lest all that she knew, and what Pippin had told her.
"Ents well---Ents are different for one thing. Mainly their eyes, now they stand out." Shade recalled the first time she saw Treebeard from the window of Isengard, how she saw his eyes twinkling from a light that seemed to come from inside them. "Well they reflect their souls. Their wisdom shines out through them; they are truly wondrous creatures. It is only sad that others have not seen them. It is to a shame that future generations might not even hear their songs or legends." Shade finished, and looked at Legolas who was not looking at her but behind her, his mouth was hanging open and his eyes were wide with shock. And then a rumbling voice came from behind her.
"It seems little one, that the Hobbits spoke true of your gift of exaggeration. For that was a most noble description if I have ever heard one." Shade turned around thinking that she would see Treebeard but instead she faced an Ent she had never seen before. "I am called Quickbeam. And tell your elf friend that he might want to close his mouth before a bird comes to nest in it."
Legolas snapped his mouth shut and flushed, his pale face becoming scarlet. "Oh, um well." He stammered.
"He is very pleased to meet you, as am I." Shade said extending her hand, Quickbeam looked at her puzzled then seemed to remember something he reached out his own big hand to shake Shade's small one. Which was true for all ents, Quickbeam's hand nearly doubled Shade's.
"I am glade to meet you to, Shade I believe that's what the hobbits and Treebeard called you."
"Yes. I am beginning to believe that all the Ents know my name."
"Well" Legals who finally recovered his speech, "we should be heading back. The others will be missing us anytime now."
"Yes we should, I really want to see what is to happen to Saruman, I have a bad case of swimmers ear and I want revenge." Legolas began laughed at this, so much so that he lost his footing and fell to the ground. "What it's the truth! Oh elves!" Shade yelled exasperated, she kicked Legolas in the back for emphases. "Do you want to come Quickbeam?"
Quickbeam looked up; he had been chuckling to himself behind his hand. "Oh yes I too want to see what is to happen to the wizard.
So the trio set out to find the rest of the fellowship.
A/N: I am sorry it took so long to get this up, and that its so short. I'm thinking of giving Quickbeam a bigger part in the return of the king. Any way what do you think?
