Seeing Keira and Nick inside the same room with her made Joan a bit braver
and a little annoyed. "Look if you two know the way out of this place
please point it so I can go back home, ok?" A snicker came from Nick and
the two girls looked at him sarcastically. He stopped. Then a loud thud was
hurd somewhere inside the room and all three of them went to it's direction
only to see Theodore sprawled on the floor. Keira helped him to his feet
and before Joan could utter another insult a voice spoke.
"I see you are all here..." All four of them stood up and looked around as the voice seemed to come from every direction.
"I have come to take you to Middle Earth as I promised..."
"This isn't funny!!" Joan screamed. "NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!!" __________________
"Who's doing that,whoever it is stop it" Keira screamed But the voice wouldn't, "I have brought you all here for a special purpose each"
Suddenly the lights came back on, in the center of the room was the old man each had recieved their now lost items from, but there was something different about him. He looked more like Gandalf, then he had earlier. "I am Gandalf" he said in a loud booming voice __________________
" Oh great!!!" Joan said rolling her eyes so far up anyone would think she's having seizures. "Ok...Look Mister, I've had enough foolishness for one day. I wanna go back home, and..."
"Patience...patience." The old man replied. Looking at Nick Stewart with a strange light in his eyes. "So, young man, you want the One Ring, do you? I think that can be arranged. You did not need to steal it." at this remark Nick got extremely annoyed. He didn't like to be embarassed like that, and everyone was looking at him with disgust, especially Joan.
"Why? Can't afford it, Mr. richest-person-at-the-convention?"
"And you, need a good change of character." The old man said to Joan. Which irritated her very much. "In fact all of you need to...change. I believe it will do you good. All of you." __________________
Nick's eyes widened with surprise as his hand flew down to the pocket with the One Ring in it. When Joan mentioned his money, though, he couldn't help grinning from the recognition. He wiped the grin from his face and lowered his head a little when he paid enough attention to become confused. He raised it with the One Ring in his hand to hold out to Gandalf. "Uh, what are you talking about, dude? I don't need any changes right now. I just came to grab my slippers. And you're saying that I can just keep this thing now? Cool!" __________________
A flash of lightning smote the air and all four of them covered their eyes and screams flew. When they opened them they were all alone in a room with no doors nor objects. There was nothing except them and the old men.
Nick still holding the One Ring replica in his hand felt a strong pull at the ring from above, and though he tried hard not to let it go, the force was too strong and the ring went flying into the vast darkness above them. And the old man spoke, " I can see that you are all in need of many things, which I, unfortunately cannot give you. But these are things which you can give to yourselves. Before you purchased your slippers, I mentioned it may change you and you seemed indifferent to my warning, always thinking your money can save you from whatever disaster you may place yourself into. And you..." He said turning to Keira "I said the same warning but you paid no attention thinking you are having fun and it doesn't matter somehow. " He turned to Joan, "And you are too proud to even consider any word I say. Lastly, you, Theodore, of all here have been the most interested in Middle Earth, the most knowledgeable, but till this time, you still don't know the real meaning of it." He paused and all were awaiting some sort of punishment from him, but he smiled and the room went back to the way it was, and the bright light that had shown upon the old man faded slowly.
"Now, I believe I promised one thing to each of you, which I intend to keep. " A large doorway appeared behind the old man, the arch had elvish writings upon it. "Annon edhellen, edro hi ammen!" The old man said in a loud booming voice and the doors opened and a large beam of light sucked all of them inside.
"I see you are all here..." All four of them stood up and looked around as the voice seemed to come from every direction.
