Chapter 15 Vebrion Finds Something To Do
Vebrion sat in the palace guest house, awaiting the replies from her blackmailing victims. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Who could that be? The palace guest house was supposed to be a secret room. No one was supposed to know it was there. She went to answer the door to see who it was.
"Hello!" she said angrily. "What do you want?" Vebrion looked at the stranger. It seemed that he was a mailman.
"Umm… I'm here to deliver this letter. It took forever to find this place. So, here's your letter!" The mailman was far too cheerful for Vebrion, so she took the letter and slammed the door in his face.
The letter was from her good friend Celebrían. "Mae govannen Vebrion! Glorfy and I are setting of in search of our picture album today. Thank you so much for telling us where Legolas is. He's a bloody pirate, you know. I should probably be back at the palace before this reaches you, but since you were out at the hobby shop when I came by earlier to say goodbye, I thought I'd write you a note. Have fun with your blackmailing!!!! Your good friend, Celebrían."
Hmm… Celebrían wasn't back at the palace yet. This was bad. Where could she be? Vebrion resolved to search for her friend. She would stop by Firthuliel's house and collect her blackmailing money and her lembas. After all, both Orlando and Legolas were there, so she wouldn't have to track them both down. Geoffrey Rush seemed to have gone missing, but she was sure she would get her money from him. After all Geoffrey wouldn't want [insert secret here] known.
When she was getting close to Firthuliel's, she saw a girl sitting on her car. That's odd, she thought.
"Mae govannen!" Vebrion called.
"Mmm hmm, same to you," said Christina, not bothering to get up. She was starting to get a little annoyed that everyone just left her here. Though she was glad that her sister Nilturiel always spoke in Quenya-ish, because she actually knew what the elf had said.
"Why are you just standing by that car?" Vebrion inquired.
"Because it broke down and all the people who have passed through here on the way to Firthuliel's have just left me here!" yelled Christina.
"Hmm…. I see. Well, you didn't happen to see an elf couple pass through here, did you?"
"Yeah, actually I did. The guy kept insisting that they weren't lost, but they definitely were. If they hadn't found this clearing, they would have been taken by the aliens."
"Ah yes, sounds like Glorfy. So they did go to Firthuliel's?"
"Yeah," said Christina. "If you're going that way, could you ask Nilturiel to call our nenelith. Maybe she could come pick me up…"
"Sure. Watch out for the frogs while you're here!" With that, Vebrion grabbed one of the remaining horses and rode off. She had already forgotten the girl's request.
