Chapter Four
Explosion

Rilania, Pippin and Merry walked through Lothlorien. Rilania grinned broadly as she came to their destination. Ahead of the threesome, was a small cottage outlined in the foliage of the Lothlorien woods.

Rilania walked cautiously up to the door of the cottage. Peering in she turned and gestured for Pippin and Merry to come closer. They obliged and quickly stood beside her.

Pippin looked inside the small cottage. It seemed quite small from the outside, but for a Hobbit, the inside seemed an acceptable size for a Hobbit hole.

"Is this her potion stores?" Pippin asked, stating the obvious.

Merry who was gazing into the cottage, turned and gave Pippin a sarcastic look.

"No Pippin, this is her bathroom." Merry stated, with sarcasm ripe in his voice.

"Really? Well, it's awfully big." Pippin commented, not understanding Merry's sarcasm.

Merry gave up and turned back to the cottage.

Inside were bottles upon bottles of potions. Rilania grinning entered the cottage, cautiously. Merry and Pippin quickly followed, their curiosity getting the better of them.

Merry walked around the small cottage, gazing at the bottles until he came to a small wooden table. In the middle of the table, an incomplete potion stood. There was a small wooden mace for grinding herbs set upon a round wooden dish. Inside the dish were small granules of a green substance.

Merry's eyes lit up and he motioned for Rilania. She quickly came over and stood beside Merry.

"What do you suppose this potion is for?" he asked.

"I'm not sure." She replied.

Merry glanced around the room, looking at the nearby substances. A particular red one caught his eye. Reaching for the potion, he clamped a hand around it and poured some in the mixing bowl. The bowl suddenly fizzed and Merry cautiously stepped back.

"What did you put in it?" Rilania asked.

"Whatever is in this bottle." Merry stated handing the substance to Rilania.

Pippin glanced at Merry and Rilania. Smiling at the effect that Merry's substance had on the potion; he quickly grabbed a yellow bottle.

Pippin held his hands around the bottle protectively and walked towards the pair.

Merry and Rilania stared as the reddish/green mixture began to froth. The substance began to swell and soon overlapped the bowl. Rilania and Merry stepped back.

"What's the matter?" Pippin asked.

"Look." Merry said pointing at the expanding mixture.

"What?" Pippin asked but soon began to walk back with Merry and Rilania, as the substance began to flicker alight.

All of a sudden the whole mixture caught on fire.

"It is going to explode!" Merry yelled ducking under a table. As he crouched down though, he accidentally bumped Pippin who still held the mixture.

All of a sudden the substance in the bowl exploded. A loud resounding BANG filled the air.

Rilania quickly ducked under a table. But in her mad rush, Rilania pushed and scared Pippin. Pippin lost balance and the yellow mixture he held in his hands flew from them and landed in the fiery mixture.

Pippin let out a quick yell and ducked under the table next to Rilania and Merry.

The whole cabin shock as the explosion sounded.

"Do you think anyone heard that?" Pippin asked.

'I once walked down a cotton hill one day on a path. I looked up at the sky and realized it was dark. Where to go, what to do. Should I go home? Maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't. Realisation does strange things to you mind, even when the obvious is set out for us.'

Ok Ok you don't need to tell me I have gone crazy. This is a fact that I have come to accept. HEHEHEHE. I always have these strange thoughts in my head. It's rather scary come to think about it, and I thought the best way to be rid of then is by posting them on my chapters. Scary stuff hey.
