Hello peoples, I am back. Well, my troop of friends and I are off to some new adventures. This chapter is where things really start up. I have the weird ability to be hyper and serious at the same time, so beware. Umm, thanks to those that reviewed. Actually, I was in a bad mood today so I'll do some thing bad, *evil cackles*.
Just to make things clear, Srennan and I have wild magic (talking to and being able to turn into animals), omni-ambient (we work with the magic in all things), healing power, and also, we are psychic, but like if we overuse our magic we faint and wake up a lot later, unless there's a healer around. Lori has wild magic, and Arileen is a very powerful weather-mage. There are two horses, Rhiannon and Starbeam. Rhiannon is a winged unicorn in horse shape, and will turn into a unicorn at need; this gentle creature is Srennan's friend. Starbeam is mine, because she is my guardian angel that was once a star (hence the name). Both are palominos and very good at scaring Nazguls. Lori and Arileen have no idea they have magic, so we have to tutor them.
Disclaimer: Like I said before, if you think I own Lotr, go see a psychiatrist.
Enjoy!
Chapter Three"You see, we began giving nicknames to each other when" Srenna began apologetically, and was totally interrupted by a loud "Eeeeeeeek!!!" from Srennan's direction. Everyone's heads swiveled to see two magnificent horses standing upon the pavilion. Their manes were sleek seas of creamy moonlight. Their coats were pure pearl, shining and glowing simultaneously. Proud heads tossed yet were immediately calmed when Srenna and Srennan put hands on their noses. On the forehead of both horses there seemed to be two stars shining, on the one at the left, it was a gentle glowing ray of soothing illumination; on the other a brilliant radiance shone forth; eyes of dark purple stood out on the silvered forehead; diamond hooves stamped affectionately.
When everyone got used to the shining of the horses, they saw Srenna and Srennan rush up to them and pet the horses like old friends. Srenna went to the one with indigo (A/N: if you haven't figured out by now, my favorite color is indigo) eyes, and Srennan went to the one with purple eyes. They basically buried their faces inside the horses' manes. The people closest to Srenna and Srennan (A/N: umm, let me see, they would be: Gandalf, Elrond, some tree elves, Legolas, and Aragorn.) could hear muffled speech coming from the horses' manes. Srenna said to her horse, "Starbeam! I can't believe you came! I missed you so much. How are the Tortallans? (The horse was last with her in Tortall, a place in Tamora Pierce's books-setting of my next fic.)" Srennan said the same thing, except her name was Rhiannon. The Rivendell elves couldn't get enough of those horses, so the four friends stayed for a while.
Lori and Arileen had stopped yelling at each other and were staring at Legolas adoringly (A/N: I had to say something!). Srennan was so annoyed at the two misbehaving that she went into one of her rare tempers. "We are stuck here in the middle of nowhere with no chance of return and all you can think about is boys?! Do you realize that we will be stuck here forever with Sauron attacking in a few months?" She was so angry that she turned into an eagle, efficiently incinerating her clothes. Everyone gaped. Srenna changed into an eagle and struck Srennan unconscious, as this was the only way to silence her ear-piercing eagle screeches. Srenna changed back into a human, and, ignoring all the stares, made clothes materialize for Srennan. She decided to make everyone match and made a white pearly cloak, and a trauma-proof outfit, including shirts, sweaters, pants, and even boots. Srenna and Srennan (who has become her normal, quiet self again) compressed their backpacks' contents, leaving most of it empty for changes of clothing.
Elrond cleared his throat, determined to set Srennan to rights, since Rivendell is not what anyone calls the middle of nowhere. Srenna stepped in and put a calming hand on her cousin's shoulder, sending mental messages to her friends, so it's no wonder they jumped. She said the following announcement both aloud and in their heads. "I have a feeling Sauron is behind all of this, therefore, we must join with your fellowship for a little while. My friends and I can offer some protection, though we hardly look it. If not, we'll go our own ways after our horses are settled." Gandalf had a feeling that the four would be needed on the trip, so he agreed, and as he was the director in most things, the rest agreed. Srennan and Srenna turned to Arileen and Lori and told them that they had magic.
Arileen asked immediately, "What do I do?" "Well, you have to start controlling it, also, you'll most likely need to fight, so I'll roll meditation and sword practice into one." Srenna replied, knowing that the quiet kind of meditation would never work on her athletic friend. Lori, meanwhile, was complaining about voices in her head. Srennan, ever the patient one, told her that she had wild magic, the ability to change into and talk to animals. Lori looked bewildered and requested the whole business of magic explained to her. That occupied most of our four friends' dinner plate.
Hey! I can't, I just can't write long chapters. If I have less homework, it might be possible, but no sign of that relenting. Any questions, just ask me, I'll put the answer into the front of each chapter. Also, this fic will be long. So, as you probably noticed, I only produce a chapter every three weeks. It might take a while for me to finish.
