Ok ppl, I shall now carry on with chapter 8 of the (TRUE!) Story.
They walked through the rose gardens to a very large cottage. Limolas led them inside.
"We have come to see Brussel." Limolas said to the elf sitting at what was probably the reception desk, and drinking a blue liquid. Caitlin hoped it wasn't meths.
"Oh yes that's second room to the left, shared with Haldir." Said she pointing to a long corridor with rooms on either side. They opened the door to find Haldir still knocked out and Brussel awake reading a book on physics and laughing hysterically. Caitlin looked over his shoulder to find he was actually reading a power puff girl comic. Physics wasn't funny, well, nor are the power puff girls, but as it turned out, Bubbles was his favorite.
The room they were in certainly looked very comfy, although a strange lady with golden skin and bronze hair was tending Haldir. She turned around and looked at them with her bronze/gold eyes and smiled. Her hair was waving around like cobwebs in the wind even though there wasn't a breeze.
"WOW, she looks like a fairy who had an accident with permanent metallic paints!" Kaitlin said looking at her with awe.
"No, this is Autumn, she is a dryad along with her sisters Spring, Summer and Winter. They look after all the forests and the other dryads, they are the healers." Limolas said bowing to the dryad.
"You must be the ones from the other world." She said with a soft voice. "Brussel is fine, and Haldir will have a headache."
The door opened and a water dryad poked her head out. She had startling blue eyes and waving hair, with pale silver skin.
"Autumn, we are beginning the meeting." With that the two dryads left the room. Kaitlin sat down on Brussels bed and stroked the hair from his face.
"There's not even a scratch!" Kaitlin exclaimed as she bent down to look closer.
"Well what do you think there would be? Scabs everywhere and the need to perform surgery?" Limolas said. "The dryads use their own healing powers. Even the average elf can heal broken bones. There used to be sorcerers in the forests that could heal anything, Grandgulf was one of these, the last in fact, but alas he turned himself into a goat."
"I thought he was just a magician." Said Caitlin.
"Well he was slightly mad. He was our last hope to get the ring to Goredore to destroy it."
"Why didn't you tell us this before! It certainly seems it might have been important to discus this at the meeting!"
"Well before Dido's attempt to take the ring back and to get a respectable music career, there was a sorcerer of immense power who in the Great War took the ring to Goredore, but before she reached the lake she disappeared and the ring went with her. 2000 years later the ring was discovered in a river by Golgolgolumnum and was then picked up from his house by Dido's Uncle Frydo son of Dodo, and there hasn't been a proper sorcerer since. The only other sorcerer is Stanclan but he turned to the dark side and has lost his powers, the only other is Randithal but he is a sorcerer of animals."
"Why are we doing this then if there is no hope of a sorcerer coming!" Caitlin stated getting a little annoyed at Lord Almond's lack of information.
"Because a profit foretold that in great danger and a time of darkness when the one ring is found again a sorcerer would come. We hope the next will be of some use, although the profit did say there would be one useless one that turns into a goat." Haldir said now awake and with very blood shot eyes."
"It is said that the sorcerer can awake the dead with her tears." Brussel exclaimed, "and that she will bring the fallen army back from darkness. But that would have to be a whole load of tears."
"We Just Hope She or He Comes."
"That would have to be buckets and buckets of tears, she'd have to drink a whole lake of water to cry that much!"
There were tears in Kaitlin's eyes as she looked at Brussel. He smiled goofily and she smiled back to Caitlin's surprise.
"I thought you were nearly dead." She whimpered. "The rest of the evening was pointless with out you." That experience had made her think of how much she depended on him.
He smiled. "The evening was pointless with you too." Brussel said trying to make it romantic but getting his words jumbled. Kaitlin didn't notice.
He sat up straight and tried to kiss Kaitlin, but ended up just slobbering all over her. The others looked the other way, not wanting to witness the waterfall escaping Brussels mouth. They turned back to see strings of spit hanging from the couple's mouths. Caitlin felt like gagging.
Kaitlin giggled nervously.
"That was my first KISS EVER!" Brussel said smiling like a maniac.
"What that was a kiss I thought you were trying to re-hydrate her with your own saliva! I mean you are 3000 years old and you have never been kissed!" Caitlin said amazed or not.
"Well yeah! Have you been kissed?"
"Well no but."
"See that's one more then you!"
"But I'm only 14!"
"So I'm still winning." Said Brussel, Caitlin sighed.
"We had better go, it's a bit late." Limolas said looking at the old grandfather clock in the corner of the room."
"I'll stay here with Brussel!" Kaitlin said, Haldir's already pained face changed for the worse at Kaitlin generous comment.
"NO don't leave ME here with.with THEM!" He said pointing to the happy couple.
"No, you must stay here till morning." Said a tree dryad who had just entered the room.
"But.But-"
"-NO buts, that drink has to get out of your system."
"Bu-"
"Shhh"
"BU-"
"Shhh"
"I thin-"
"SHHH! I've got a whole bag of Shhushes here if you want to go on?"
Haldir looked desperately to Caitlin and Limolas on the other side of the room and mouthed the words 'HELP ME'.
"See you in the morning." Caitlin said.
"GOOD luck." Laughed Limolas as they left the room.
Once they were outside he turned to look at Caitlin. "Do you want to go back to the party? All it's going to be now is Karaoke and Namen tends to hog it, believe me it doesn't sound pretty. More along the lines of a drowning rat."
"Yeah might as well go to bed."
They walked past the hall.quickly. sounds drifted past of Namen's unmelodious singing. They shivered and broke into a run, pushing through the crowd that was fleeing from the hall. They had just reached the door when an elf dressed in red walked up to Limolas.
'Your majesty." Said he. " There is a messenger wanting you with news of Mirkywood, he is in the lobby."
"Ok, I'm on my way." He turned to Caitlin. "See you tomorrow, I must go." He took her hand and smiled and then turned to follow the elf."
Caitlin went into her room and showered then went fast to sleep. She didn't even wake to the door opening around 2 hours later. Limolas pulled the covers over, her smiled for a moment as he looked at her, and then he stood up and went through the door leading to his and Haldir's room.
