Chapter 1
It had been a long many months since the destruction of the One Ring. The
Fellowship had been dissolved indefinitely, and the despair of a vile war lingered. Morale
was low to say the least. Through the course of the past mid-year, King Aragorn had set
out to bring the land of Middle Earth to its former prosperity. Everyone was busy
rebuilding cities, reconstructing buildings, and trying vainly to refurbish their previous
happiness.
The story was entirely different when it came to Legolas and Gimli. They were
still young and, despite many adventures, they yearned to see more of the vast and
majestic Middle Earth. The pair was growing quite weary of carrying out the same
activities, Gimli chopping wood and Legolas overseeing construction of a new town
house.
'Urgh!' Gimli grunted, 'I am sick of this! I need adventure; my beard is starting to
sag from the lack of excitement. Remember all of the good times we had? All the orcs we
slew?"
'Yes, I know,' Legolas replied, sighing, 'I also feel the burden of being stuck here
with nothing to do. We must leave if we are to be happy.'
'Aye, I know,' Gimli said, splitting another piece of moss-covered wood, 'well,
why don't we start by traveling west. We can head for the Blue Mountains, you can meet
some of my kin there.'
'Of course, my good dwarf,' Legolas said, smiling, 'I would love to. We are
bound to find adventures along the way.'
'Hmph, Gimli snorted, 'just make sure you are ready for the journey. It will be a
long trek.'
'Oh don't worry about me, Gimli,' Legolas replied, 'you had better get into shape.
I am afraid that all of this sudden harmony has made you soft.'
'Aghh! You come here and say that to my face you little imp!' Gimli growled,
chasing after Legolas, brandishing his ax.
