First Encounters
~~~~Legolas POV~~~~
BANG!!!
With a sudden jolt and flash of light, the whole world seemed to change. The river became a grafitied fountain. The grass became a hard ground of gray and black rock. Instead of just Aragorn and I, there were more than two hundred people packed tightly onto straight streets. Most of the trees were gone and tall boxes with smaller holes took their place. The trees that didn't disappear became closed in with small gates. I drew my bow and Aragorn his sword. Some odd looking people laughed at us and said some things such as "Cool" and "Sweet". These phrases made no sense to me since it was neither cold outside nor was anything sweet tasting. Other people screamed and grabbed small, thin squares out of bags and started yelling into them. Two girls that looked about my age came up to us and said, "Unless you two want to get arrested, I would suggest putting your weapons down and then start laughing."
Aragorn lowered his sword and then I my bow. Finally, all the people talking into the small boxes folded them in half, and put them back into their bags. I looked at the two girls. They both had blonde hair and blue eyes. They didn't wear dresses, but short pants and shirts with strap instead of sleeves. I then started to notice that I was incredibly warm. I ran over to the fountain and started to drink from it. One of the girls, the shorter one, grabbed my arm and started yanking me away. "Legolas," she said to me under her breath, "You'll have to learn a few new rules here. You're not in the Third Age of Middle Earth anymore."
That took me by surprise. I wriggled out of her grasp. "What do you mean?" I demanded of her.
"Can you please be quiet? I'll tell you when we get back to our place," she said quietly.
"In the name of Thranduil, King of Mirkwood, I order you to tell me what is going on," I bellowed.
People turned and stared at me. Some started to laugh and others said, "Who does this guy think he is? Legolas or something?"
I was taken aback and said, "Yes, I am Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood."
At that, almost everyone started laughing. Those who didn't, got a very confused look on their faces, until one of the laughers whispered something into their ear. Then, they to started laughing madly. Aragorn also looked confused but he said nothing. The two girls sighed and looked at each other, and motioned for us to follow them. This time, I did not question them. They led us down the street, onto some big white moving thing (it reminded me of a horse except it had soft seats for about twenty people and many metal poles) and then down another street. At the end of that street, we entered one of the tall boxes and went up some stairs.
"Well," said the taller girl, "that was a really dumb thing to do. Now everyone thinks you're crazy!"
I looked at the girls. They were beautiful with fair skin and shiny hair. I though for a moment that they may be elves, but neither had pointy ears. The room was rather dark with a comfortable looking bench, a rug, and a black box (everything is so square here!) with a shiny center. There were posters with the faces of our friends Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gimli, Boromir, Arwen, Galadriel, and even ourselves. There were also pictures of our enemies. Many of these posters had words reading "Fellowship of the Rings, The Two Towers, and The Lord of the Rings" on them. I thought we might have walked into a trap of the enemy. ******************************************************************* So, what did u think? Please R/R!
