(A/N)
I have not gotten any reviews for the chapter 4, so there will be no shout outs today.
I had fun at the mall; I hit American eagle and got some school clothes.
Not much to say...I hope that you enjoy the chapter.
Chapter5: Dreams
One night had passed since I made my calm exit out of Edoras.
Jake and I were making good time as we followed the Snowbourn River downstream. I figured that if we followed it for thirty miles and then turned north we would meet up with Entwash River. If we followed it upstream it would lead us to fanghorn forest. I have not decided if I would rather go around the forest and meet up with another river cross it and head for the Adnuin, or pass through fanghorn and make a b-line for Lorien. I guess I will decide when I get there.
At the moment though I was beginning to leave Snowbourn River and turn north to meet up with Entwash. I sincerely hope that there is a bridge or ferry along Entwash because I need to cross it to continue. Horses can swim, right?
Mirima is a real spit fire of a horse. She can run like the wind, rarely tiring, and knows how to maneuver around the jagged rocks that sometimes appear. I still think that she has got some Arabian in her. That is not possible; at least it shouldn't be possible because that is a type of horse breed from EARTH not Middle Earth. It all seems very odd to me. (A/N says the person that traveled through dimensions)
Jake and I had been randomly talking about things like school, clubs, and life in general. I find it funny that we are in a whole different dimension yet talk about the regular day to day things at home. We have the chance to talk about anything and we talk about the Mr. Smith essays that we had to do last week. We are such pathetic Earth people.
I guess that I am going to have to change it. I can be deep when I want to be.
"What do you want to do with your life," I asked a floating Jake.
"You already know Kell," he began," I want to build a software company and take over Microsoft....make a lot of money....have a big house...." He kept on rambling on about material things. There is nothing wrong with that, I just wanted to know a different kind of information.
"I didn't mean what you want to become," I calmly stated, "wanted to know what you wanted to "do" with your life. What you want to do for only you? It dose not have to make your life "better" materially it is just what you want to do so you feel happy that you did it." I explained. I gave him a minute to soak it in before I began again. "Take me as an example; I wanted to go to Middle Earth just to go so that I could experience it. It will not affect my life at home in the slightest........That was my motivation to develop the technology that I did, without it this would still just be a dream to me." I casually explained. Jake did not say anything for a few minutes and I let him have that time to contemplate what I had said.
"Kellyn, I honestly don't know," he broke the silence by admitting it. Jake sounded like he was stunned at the thought that I had proposed.
"Well I guess the fact that you have 200 years to think it over is a good thing," I reassuringly told him. "You are lucky that you get this much time because some people die without knowing what their dream was." I explained to him with a frown on my face. I felt sorry for those people.
"I need time to think this over," Jake calmly stated as he began to fly higher until he was a good thirty feet off of the ground.
I was happy that he was thinking about it. He had been given this gift of time so he should make the most of it. As for me I urged Mirima to go faster since I had slowed down a tad during my conversation with Jake. I also wanted to get to Entwash River as soon as possible; I have this freaky fear of not being around water. Not in a mystical sense, but to be practical it is a lot more safe while traveling if it is possible to follow a river then if you are thirsty you can take a drink and not have to worry about finding a stream or pond. It is sort of like a safety net to me.
I again urge Mirima to break neck speeds as I cross over the plains of Rohan.
*six hours later*
The sun is setting and I am so happy that I got blankets at the market. The joys of not having to sleep on bare rock and listening to the river. Yes, I had made it to Entwash River before the sun set, and I was so happy to fill those water flasks.
I know that elves don't really 'need' sleep but it has been a habit of mine for my entire life. One of those habits that is sort of hard to break.
Mirima was tied to a rope which was staked to the ground. The rope that I used must have been fifty feet long so she isn't flipping out like she would in a stall.
Jake had just recently come down from the air and was sitting on a boulder watching the sunset. He hadn't spoken a word since I had asked him about my life. I suspect that he is trying to "figure it out".
The last few rays of sun were beginning to disappear from the rocky plains of Rohan. I was leaning against a boulder while I watched my favorite time of the day. I loved to seethe sun move under the earth because it was the only one of the two times that you could in a day (the second one being sunrise which I was never up early enough to see). Also the moon would begin to appear, a rare time of the day when the sun and the moon were in the same sky.
I was sitting on the grass enjoying the sunset when I saw Jake come over and sit next to me.
"How did out figure out what your dream was, because I can't seem to find mine? Nothing truly inspires me like Middle Earth inspires you." Jake questioned while explaining his situation. He is in for one shocker.
"You don't exactly 'figure out' what your dream is going to be, it just comes to you," I explained, "The thing is that you have to be open to the possibility of a dream and recognize it when it comes along." I went in depth.
"I think I understand," He replied.
It had gotten dark and I needed my sleep (old habits) so I said goodnight to Jake and went to bed.
I am Kellyn and I am living my dream.

I know that this chapter was short, but my mom came in and threatened to take my computer away if I wasn't off in five minutes.
This chapter was basically fluff to make the trip to Lorien a tad more interesting. I promise that the next chapter will have more humor.
Please review.
