On the Scarcely Visible Roads
Morlith heard a growl of some sort as he walked through the woods. He looked back to see something in the distance, racing towards him. It looked like a large bear, but he didn't wait long to catch a good look. He started running as fast as he could so that the world seemed to blur around him. Where could he go and what exactly was gaining speed on him?
He made it to the stairs and ran down them as quickly as he could. His mind was racing.
"Uhh..." he stammered, forgetting the passwords to open the door!! He glanced back, the WARG racing down the stairs. He banged on the door with his fists. "LASTO, LASTO, LASTO!!!" [Open, open, open!]
Then he remembered as the beast followed quickly behind him. "Lasto ando, Laiquendi!" [Open gate, green-elves!]
The gates opened quickly and he scurried inside, but something happened he did not intend. The beast jumped through the doors right behind him and the doors closed.
Lauren was skipping through the halls when she heard someone banging on the thick door. "Lasto, lasto, lasto!!" she heard a cry.
An elf scurried past. "Sankossi [hateful hordes] patrol the forest!"
"Excuse me!" Lauren hurried behind the elf stranger. "What is going on?"
"Open the gates for Morlith! Quickly! Let not the beast get in!" cried the elf to another.
Lauren watched as the door quickly opened and Morlith flew in, falling on his chest. Then came the beast, who flung his large paws onto Morlith's back. The beast growled, opened his mouth and lowered his head towards Morlith's skull.
Lauren turned and grabbed a knife off the wall. It was a large elven dagger. She threw it towards the beast and it pierced its shoulder. He jumped off of Morlith, howling, but not for long.
Lauren stepped back as the fierce animal came towards her. His eyes were a sickening yellow and soaking his course, thick fur was his black blood where the knife rested in his skin.
She felt tears trickling down her face as the animal howled and started tearing after her. Lauren turned and ran as fast as she could. She knew it wouldn't be long till the beast caught up with her. She skimmed the walls with her hand, ready to grab a sword as soon as she found one on the wall.
But she couldn't see a sword anywhere. She looked back at the wolf-creature as it ran, tearing the floors and walls at the same time. And as she looked back, she tripped and fell on her back so the creature came forward, snarling and ready to tear open her flesh. But something flew into the air and pierced the creature through his head and he came tumbling down onto Lauren. His weight fell on her and she felt crushed and blind in the complete darkness. And she saw no more.
"Koiva, nessa vende," Legolas whispered into Lauren's ear. [awake, young maiden]
And Lauren did open her eyes and she smiled to see such a friendly face. "Legolas..." she paused and sat up quickly, but the fiery pain in her chest brought her back down to her pillow. "Where am I?" she whispered, holding her stomach and breathing deep. "What happened?"
"The creature was slain," Legolas answered. "And you are in our underground Healing house of the elves, vanya anta." [Fair face]
"Vanya what? What did that mean?" Lauren asked.
Legolas hushed her. "Go back to sleep. I'm glad you are not badly wounded. I will trouble you no more."
Lauren wanted to object to that. "You're not any trouble to me, Legolas..." but she noticed he had already disappeared and the door swung where he had left. "Why do they have to be so fast?" she muttered.
The next day, the burning in Lauren's body ceased and she again walked through the golden hall and peeked through doors without a care, like a curious child. There were rooms with food, rooms with animals including dogs and cats, and even rooms with lots of books.
She searched tons of books, but found none written in English. "Adan Lambe," she read one title. The book was a thick green book and inside was an English to Elvish dictionary it seemed. Then as she flipped through, she found that half of it was Elvish to English!
"Wonder if I could impress the king by speaking some in his language," Lauren told herself.
Then the door to the library opened. "Child, the king must have a word with you."
"Let me get this straight," Lauren answered, looking at the king. "You want me to wander into the woods and find griffins, these huge bird-cat monsters, and convince them to join us and help save us from these wolf animals?"
"That is not how I would have put it into words, but yes, that is correct."
"Your insane," Lauren said. "You guys brought me to this palace of yours! Cant I just stick around in this castle and kinda mind my own business?"
"You must go. Those Wargs now know where we hide. They have followed the tracks of their friend and we will be attacked. We just need someone to convince the griffins. They have a weakness for beauty, but also want nothing to do with the troubles of elves. They are long allies of men. In the days of old, they flew girls in their caves and loved them. You must go. You are our only chance."
Lauren couldn't help but get slightly excited by this. She loved the Lord of the Rings books and maybe this would be her own short adventure!
"All right, I will go," she said. "But may I have someone to go with me?"
The king laughed. "Of course! I would not have you go alone. I would ask Morlith, but he is greatly wounded. So I will choose for you Demrem, your guide, and Prince Legolas as your protector.
Lauren pulled herself onto her horse, while Legolas and Demrem gracefully jumped on. There were many elves to cheer them as they left down the road only scarcely visible through the bushes and rocks. As they went farther, the crowds disappeared and they were left alone.
"Is this forest dangerous?" Lauren asked.
Demrem nodded a reply and looked back at his map. "Griffin territory is a two day's journey. I only hope nothing happens to our palace when we are away."
"As I," Legolas answered shortly.
Lauren couldn't help but wonder what would happen. How did she get caught up in this anyhow? She remembered falling asleep in her car last...now she was on some crazy Middle Earth adventure, looking for beasts that would help Legolas's tribe, or whatever the true name for them was.
Somehow Lauren felt like a warrior princess and she smiled at the thought. She would help the elves if she could and if they wanted to claim she was Brilaglar, the angel woman that saved the elves, she would let them!
Damn, this is not going how I wanted it to. Lauren doesn't seem like a very deep character. Grrr, seems like my stories with an actually plot have shallow characters. Then my plotless stories have deep characters. Oh well...till next time!!!
