Part 16 (oh dear)
10:00 Am, Tortall Palace
Legolas paced the floor of the Tortallian palace, his thought completely jumbled.
"That wasn't my father! He would never.."
"Do that, never ever, he respects your decisions." Daine finished the sentence he had been muttering over and over again to himself. "Legolas, there are many possibilities for what could have happened. I explained Alex's history to you last night. He could have very easily possessed him, or Roger could have been working through both of them You need not worry, No one will hold it against and you we'll figure out what happened. You need to rest, whoever did this drugged you with something strong enough to kill a mortal!"
"I'm fine." Legolas began to retort before sinking into a nearby chair in exhaustion. The entire Fellowship and the Tortallians were completely baffled at what in the world had gone on to cause Legolas's father and Alex of Tirragon to kidnap Daine and a few others and try to force her into marriage with the lord of mirkwood. Legolas had been up and about despite the chief healer of Tortall's complaint that he needed to rest. Daine had taken this argument on but was still losing.
"I'll tell you what," Daine bargained. "You rest and abide by the healer's commands and I'll see what Numair can do to retrace this magic." I'm not going to lie in a bad while an old spinster makes me drink really nasty tasting things. Besides, I want to question these two children that walked in and helped us."
"You can question them from your bed!" Aragorn said, walking into the room with Numair, The rest of the fellowship, and Lady Alanna. Legolas opened his mouth to protest when Boromir shoved a cup into his hands.
"Fine!" he said. "Then just drink this, it'll strengthen you." Aragorn was going to protest this but Alanna kicked him and whispered something that Daine and Legolas couldn't hear. He changed his mind about arguing and agreed.
"Just drink this and I'll let you question the two kids that are here." Legolas scowled but he started to drink it. If he had been a little more sharp sensed, as elves usually were, he would have noticed sooner that it had been…
"Drugged!" he yelled as loud as he could, though the sleeping potion was already starting to work. "You drug-g-e-d m-e." Falling asleep, Legolas slouched over. Aragorn and Boromir quickly bore him upstairs to abed while Numair cast a spell over him that wouldn't allow him to get up. Walking away from the infirmary, the company went to another room where Angelic Angel (Who's name is Laura, I will use that, hi Laura! if you hit me over the head with another book I'll be forced to do unhappy things with your character in this story (mwa hahahaha) and Zurizip (Who's name Is Kate, hi Kate!) were examining the room around them with fascination.
"Wow!" Laura said, "This is even better then the book!" Kate nodded in agreement. The night before had been traumatizing, when they got back from the ordeal all anyone had wanted to do was sleep so the two had been given a room and had only recently woken up. Numair and Aragorn had just knocked on the door and politely entered when a strange and way too familiar light flashed once again and two people came hurtling into the room. Dragonlet and Canadian Moose fell down roughly with a groan. Upon realizing where they were, their spirits brightened.
"Hello," Canadian Moose chimed cheerfully. She was quite an attractive girl with waist length russet hair and creamy complexion. She was wearing an ankle length khaki skirt and a lavender blouse with laced up sleeves. Flip-flops woven out of straw were falling off her pink toenails, which matched her fingernails (Am I anywhere close) Numair noticed this right away and was already quite taken with her at a first glance. Dragonlet also was in khaki, though with boot length jeans over sneakers and a pale green top with beaded embroidery.
"Uhh, hi?" Aragorn said, very confused.
"Hello." Dragonlet was at first uncomfortable until she recognized Laura and Kate. Kate waved and made introductions to each of the Fellowship members and the Tortallians. Numair spoke.
"well, I'm not sure who you are, but those two," he pointed at Kate and Laura, "Have most likely saved us all. Would you give us the pleasure of breakfast in the main hall in 15 minutes?" All 4 girls nodded.
"Ok." The fellowship and the Tortallians backed out of the room, Alanna the last one out.
"There's fresh clothes in that closet over there." she said pointing to a nearby closet. "We think they will fit you." Alanna left and closed the door.
"Wow!" Laura said.
"This is odd." Dragonlet put in.
"But cool." Canadian Moose added. Kate walked over to the closet to find several gowns in it. She made a face at them but decided not to keep the dirty ones that she had fought in yesterday on. Thumbing through it she found a pale blue dress with short sleeves and several skirts. Ducking behind a screen, she changed into it, finding it extremely hard to walk.
"This sucks!" she announced to the other 4 girls. Canadian Moose and Dragonlet had just come in and were happy with what they had on. Laura took her turn digging through the closet. Coming to the back she finally found a few pairs of breeches, tunics, and shirts. She threw a couple to Kate and put her own on. They were comfortable enough but Kate complained anyway.
"This is really cool, but I don't think I'd ever want to dress like this, what ever happened to elvish fashion?"
"Elves don't exist here!" Dragonlet reminded her.
"Ok, we're all ready." Said Canadian Moose. "Now where are we supposed to go?"
It took many minutes and several dead ends to find the great hall, but at last the four teenagers stumbled into it, completely lost. The Tortallians got up to great them, Alanna triumphantly holding her hand out to King Jon who scowled and dropped a gold coin into her hand.
"I told you they'd prefer the breeches." she said, laughing. Jon continued to scowl . The girls noticed Jon and bowed awkwardly. He motioned for them to sit down. Numair directed Canadian Moose to a seat right next to him. She smiled at him hugely which almost made his heart melt, and did cause him to fall right off his chair. It was Alanna's turn to scowl.
What happens next? haven't decided, will take more ideas. Sorry if this is short.
IMPORTANT!!!! Laura, Kate, Dragonlet, and Canadian Moose! If you would have one gift from each of the three royalties in this what would you ask for (Legolas, Aragorn and Jon) you can ask for one thing from each of them, no proposals!!! Canadian Moose has snagged Numair, any of you want someone else (hint: if they're taken you can't have them!! and I'm not guaranteeing anything!!)
Please excuse grammar/spelling mistakes; my computer is set only to read French!!
