Chapter Four: The Story

Legolas watched the three as they exchanged exaggerated looks. Finally, Lile took a deep breath and said, "Well for one thing, we must find the evil person and destroy him or her."

"Is there any way of knowing that?" asked Legolas, but somehow knowing the answer.

Ferale shook her head. "No, I'm afraid not. Although," she flipped her hair out of her face, "the prophecy says that the one will know who is it once they set eyes on the person." She again flipped her hair, but this time taking out a clip and snapping it onto her hair.

"But, it is also said that the One may not also know, therefore he must rely on information that people tell him," Arenal stated thoughtfully.

"So, I ask again, what do I do?" Legolas asked again, he didn't like where this was going.

They all thought again and finally Ferale said, "Well, I suppose we must travel around town and find the person. But this a big world, the person can be anywhere."

"I bet someone we know can pinpoint a couple of places of where the person might be," Lile answered to the puzzle.

Arenal snapped his fingers, and said, "I know just the person. This person has a career figuring out who the evil person is. I'll be right back," and with that he grabbed his coat and took off.

Legolas watched him leave then turned to the two women. Lile was Telekanal, and Ferale and Shapeshifter. These were powers that weren't even heard of in Middle Earth. He sighed and then turned to them. "So, tell me what is this world like before and after the war."

The again exchanged looks. They sighed simultaneously and Ferale said, "Well, I have lived longer than Lile. Shapeshifters are immortal, just like the Netheralles. I remembered the green grasses and meadows and the tall evergreen trees. The birds-"

"Birds?" Legolas interrupted, "Animals? Where are they?"

Arenal shifted uncomfortably and answered, "They also were killed off a long time ago, around when the humans ceased to exist."

"And the animals bounded freely where ever they please," continued Ferale loudly. Legolas blushed, he could tell that Ferale did not like to be interrupted. "And then one day, something happened. Lile's father, Trenal, the King of the Telekanals-"

"King of the Telekanals?" Legolas asked, amazed.

Lile nodded, blushing, "Yes, the Telekanals and the Earthelles have royalty to rule them. I am the daughter of the king."

"She is princess Lile of the Telekanals," Ferale added, then cleared her throat. "Anyway, Trenal, never got along with the ruler of the Shapeshifters. And one day, something happened." She looked at Lile to finish.

"An accident occurred, and a Shapeshifter village was attacked, killing hundreds of men, women and children who lived there," Lile took up. "The President of the Shapeshifters, Helean, was furious and attacked a village of the Telekanals and before you knew it a war had begun between the two."

"Helean and the King of the Earthelles, Behgan, had always been allies, but this time, Behgan wanted nothing to do with this war and wanted to stay out of it," Arenal suddenly interfered, "This angered Helean and also attacked the main village of the Earthelles. And Since the Earthelles never liked the Telekanals and since that the Shapeshifters are attacking the village, they began to attack the two races."

"And, the ally of the Telekanals, the Netheralles, the President of the Netheralles was feeling the same way and also attacked all three of the races. This started a uproar and then suddenly, no one had an ally, no one were friends anymore, and everyone was fighting," finished Lile. She stopped abruptly and started to sob.

Arenal quickly moved to her and wrapped his arms around her, trying to comfort her. "So, then why are all of you still friends?" Legolas asked.

Ferale looked up and said strongly, "Lile and I have been friends for ages, and Arenal has always been there for her, we would not fall apart because of a stupid war."

Legolas nodded and wondered briefly what he had gotten himself into.
