Chapter 7: Ebony, Meet Aerandir
As the group of elves and Ebony were walking towards Lorien, Ebony started to walk backwards. She was facing Orophin and decided to start a conversion. "So Orophin, did you like my singing yesterday?"
Orophin looked at the way she was walking but decided not to say anything about it, to reply to her question he said, "It depends on which time you mean. You sang twice yesterday. Do you mean the first time or the second time?"
"The second one." Ebony said, and then added, "I sang the first one off-key to annoy you three."
"I liked it just fine. You sing very lovely, when you want to. Would you sing another song?"
Ebony was shocked with the request, so shock that she tripped and landed on her backside. "Ouch! That hurt, damnit!" she almost yelled while rubbing her bruised bottom. "Help me up and I'll sing." She said, holding out her hand for him to grab. He did so and pulled her up.
Rùmil and Haldir had heard her fall and had stopped to see what was going on. They now walked back to the two and all four started walking again while Ebony thought up a good song.
Now what would these guys like to hear? She asked herself. Ah ha! Got it! She got ready and then started the song.
"Brother my brother
Tell me what are we fighting for
We've got to end this war
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
We can try
Brother my brother
We face each other from different sides
The anger burns can't remember why
It's kind of crazy to cause so much pain
Our foolish pride makes us hate this way
We watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
When you lose your heart
Brother my brother
Tell me what are we fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother"
Ebony was looking straight ahead while singing, thinking about how that song was so true and that if someone just had the never to do things like the song said, then her world would be so much better.
"Yes
We can try
Brother my brother
Yes
Let's take a moment and look deep inside
And say we'll learn to give love a try
When matters differ as we seem to be
There's so much more to me than what you see
You don't have to be this way
Think about the consequences
Turn around and walk away
Brother my brother
Tell me what are we fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother
Brother my brother
Tell me what are we fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother."
(A/n: that was "Brother My Brother" by Blessed Union Of Souls.
From "Pokémon: the first movie sound track.)
Haldir had listened intensely to the song, wondering why she would choose a song such as it. A song that spoke of family fighting each other, of a war that seemed to be meaningless.
Ebony turned around, again, to look at Orophin. "How was that?"
Orophin clapped and said, "Very good. What song was that?"
"It's called Brother My Brother. It's one of my favorite songs." Ebony turned back around and put her hands behind her head.
Rùmil, speaking for the first time in a while, said, "It is a lovely song," then he shot Orophin a look who nodded, "but would you sing us a song about… love?"
Haldir turned his head and shot his younger brother a glance of suspicion. What's he up to now? He thought.
Ebony just shugged, said a "sure" and thought of a good song about love that she new. "Would you like a sad love song or happy?"
"Happy, please." Rùmil said, looking at Orophin who nodded his head towards Haldir. Orophin quickened his steps and walked to the left of Haldir and Rùmil dropped back a bit and to the right so he was now behind Ebony.
Ebony took at deep breath and started to sing.
"He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend
When she said "there's someone you should meet"
At a crowded restaurant way cross town
He waited impatiently
When she walked in their eyes met and they both stared
And right there and then everyone else disappeared, but
One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl
In no time at all they were standing there
In the front of a little church
Among their friends and family
Repeating those sacred words
Preacher said, "son kiss your bride",
And he raised her veil
Like they night they met time just stood still"
As Ebony sang, Haldir kept sneaking glances of her from the corner of his eye, which went unnoticed by her, but the glances didn't escape Orophin and Rùmil.
"One boy, one girl, two hearts
beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl
He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned
"congratulations, twins"
One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl"
Ebony looked to her left expecting to see Rùmil but when she didn't she turned around to find him behind her. She started walking backwards again and said, "Is that the kind of song you wanted?"
"Yes, very much so, but you do know that you may tripped again walking like that?" he replied.
"Well I can't really talk to someone who is behind me unless I turn around and I'm not going to fall back just to say to you what I can say like this. So if you're so worried, speed up!" she said with a grin.
Rùmil pretended to think about that for a minuet and then sped up so that he was on her right. "Better?"
Ebony turned back around and said, "Much. Now I don't have to worry you and I can save myself some pa—OWCH DAMNIT!" Ebony had just turned around and had hit her foot on a fairly larg rock. "That's what I get for being careful."
Rùmil just chuckled a bit.
Haldir glanced at Orophin and then at Rùmil. They are up to something.
Rùmil looked at Orophin at the same time as Orophin looked over at him, Orophin mouthed the words 'One, two, three!' At the same time, Rùmil pushed Ebony to the left and Orophin pushed Haldir to the right. Now since elves have such balance, Haldir only lost his footing but was now a foot and a half away from Ebony. Ebony, on the other hand, lost her balance and fell into Haldir's arms.
Ebony turned red almost at once. OH MY GOSH!! OH MY GOSH!! OH MY GOSH!!
Haldir looked down at Ebony as she looked up at him. Their faces were just inches apart. She is so beautiful. Like her name says, a dark beauty. Out loud he said, "Are you all right, mellonamin?" (my friend) as he helped her to her feet.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Though I know two elves that won't be fine when I'm done with them." She said as she turned to the culprits. They were now standing right by each other, trying to look innocent, which is quit hard when you are trying not to laugh.
"What did we do?" Rùmil asked, sounding not at all like he didn't do any thing.
"Any last words before I hurt you two?" Ebony asked, taking a step towards them.
"Just this," Orophin said, backing up with his brother.
"HELP!" they both shouted, and took off running with Ebony hot on they're trail and Haldir following at a slightly slower pace.
(A/N: I was going to end it here but I think you guys need some longer chapters and I had some inspiration.)
A guard from Lorien was on a patrol when he heard someone yelling.
"COME BACK HERE YOU DAMN JOKE PLAYING ELVES! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE YOU NEVER EVEN THINK ABOUT PLAYING A 'JOKE' ON ME AGAIN! RÙMIL! I MAY JUST GIVE YOU A EVEN WORSE POUNDING THEN YOUR BROTHER'S GOING TO GET FOR SHOVING ME!"
The elf creped over towards the direction the noise was coming from. He moved some brush aside and saw a young human girl of about the age of 17 chasing the two younger brothers of Haldir, Orophin and Rùmil, and yelling, all the while Orophin and Rùmil were shouting things like "Sorry!" and "It was only a joke!"
He saw Haldir a little bit behind the three, just watching and shaking his head. The guard walked out of the brush and made his why over to Haldir.
When Haldir saw him, he said, "Aaye, Aerandir!" (Hail, Aerandir!)
"Aaye, Haldir!" Aerandir said in return. He looked to the the two elves and human and said, "Who is that?" (a/n: It would seem that the Evish dictionary that I use dose not have the word "is" or "be" in it. Help?)
"That is Ebony. We found her yesterday sitting in front of a tree. It seemed that she had fallen out of it and was talking to herself about how she wound never climb that tree again." Haldir then called out to Ebony, who had the two elves that she was chasing in a tree and she was just starting up after them, "Ebony! I would like you to meet someone!"
Ebony was on the first branch when she headr Haldir call her. She flipped upside-down with her legs on the branch holding her up. "Who is it?" she called back.
"Come over and see!"
"I don't want ta! If I move from this tree those two damn elves will get away and I still need to pound'em!" she looked up at the two elves in the tree above her and noticed that they seemed to move from where them were before. She looked back at Haldir and his friend and said, "Why don't you bring your friend over here to meet me?"
Haldir rolled his eyes and motioned for Aerandir to fallow him.
Ebony looked back up at Orophin and Rùmil and saw that they were on the branch right above her and that Rùmil had a big grin on his face. Now what can he…? OH NO! She thought as she relized what he was going to do. Her eyes widend and she started trying to get down.
Rùmil grabbed her anklas and lefted her up a bit so that her legs were straght.
"Don't you even THINK about it!" Ebony screetched.
Rùmil's grin got even bigger. He then said, "I already did." Then he let go.
Ebony landed with a 'THUMP!' "OWCH! DAMNIT RÙMIL! YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!"
Haldir and Aerandir got there just as Ebony was getting up.
"Are you all right?" Haldir said with a chuckle. Big mistake.
Ebony frowned at him. Then she glared at him, just making him chuckle more. "Are you laughing at me?"
"YES!" cried Orophin and Rùmil, who were laughing their heads off.
"SHUT UP YOU TWO!" Ebony yelled, making the two jump up in the tree a bit higher. "Now, back to bizness. Were you laughing at me?"
"Maybe."Haldir said.
Just as she was about to jump at him, she noticed Aerandir. "Is this the friend you wanted me to meet?"
Haldir nodded and said, "Yes, he is. Ebony this is Aerandir, Aerandir this is Ebony."
How was that? I hope you liked it! I'll try to get the next chapter up soon!
"Whats 'taters?"
"PA-TA-TOES. Boil'em, mush'em, stick'em in a stew."
