Ch.4
The Quest--Leaving Middle Earth
POV of Legolas, Celestrial and Kaluriani
**************************************************************************************************************************
Legolas POV
When I arrived at the great hall for breakfast and take off, Kaluriani was all ready there. When I tapped her shoulder she took my hand and flipped me over, then she muttered an apology and said something like she was used to doing that and that I should be lucky that she didn't paralyze me with her stun gun. What the hell is a stun gun, it's probably some silly mortal weapon. When I got up Aragorn slapped my back and everyone was laughing. At breakfast I talked to Celestrial, she's a really friendly girl. I asked her why she was Kaluriani's friend and she said that the girl is actually really nice if she trusts or likes you. I guess Kaluriani either distrusts me or she hates me. I then tried looking for Kaluriani but I should not see her, I believed that she was with Lord Elrond, Aragorn and Gandalf discussing war tactics; however, I was wrong. Some one tapped my shoulder and I looked up to see Kaluriani with her arms crossed and tapping her foot behind me. Then she said to me, "Do you mind, you're in my seat. If I were you, Elf-boy, I'd go see a doctor about my hearing." When I got up and withdrew her chair for her, she glared at me and said that she can take out her own chair. Aragorn came up to us with a round device in his hands and some kind of hair band on his ears. He greeted me and took the hair band off. Then he handed the device to Kaluriani and thanked her for showing him some technology from her world, he said something like he would look foreword to seeing the effects of her weapons. When I asked Celestrial what the device was she told me it was a CD player, somehow it plays music from this little round thing. When I asked Aragorn what he meant by his comment, he said that Kaluriani was showing them weapons from her world last night while they were talking about strategies.
**********************
When we were taking off on the quest, I noticed that there was only one fully packed bag between Kaluriani and Celestrial. Both of them carried a little bag on their back and they had on this belt with a lot of little pockets around them. When Kaluriani caught me staring at them, she waked over and asked with venom dripping from every word, "What are you staring at, Elf Boy (by the way that's my new name, she changed it from Legolas to Elf brat to Elf boy.)" I told her that I thought their outfit was strange and that they would be freezing on the mountains. By the way, they were wearing these shiny midnight black suits (one piece) that had cut off gloves, and midnight black boots. (Oh yeah, Kaluriani's hair was tied back and Celestrial's hair was in a half-pony and the rest of the hair was curled.) She said that they had automatic heaters in them that ran off energy from the environment. I told her that we were going into the mountains and that snow didn't have heat. She laughed and said that snow might not have a lot of heat but it still had energy. After she told me this, she walked in front of me with Gandalf; they were talking about magic. Aragorn told me that Gandalf thinks that Kaluriani and Celestrial might be magic-users. I walked with Celestrial, and we talked about balls, about forests, made jokes and about her world. When we stopped for lunch, Celestrial created a little gold energy ball and flicked it at Kaluriani; however, the girl turned around and caught it in her hands, then she scattered the energy in it and walked towards us. She lifted Celestrial up by the neck and told her how stupid it was, and if she didn't catch that then it would of given our position away. After that she threw Celestrial on the ground and ordered her to do fifty push-ups with a boulder on top of her.
Celestrial's POV
All I did was throw that thing at her, and she made me do pushups with a boulder on top of me. She's so unfair. Why is she so stern, she's not like this back at home, she was nicer and friendlier.

I talked to her tonight and I finally know why she's so stiff. It seems like that she's not going to accompany us on the whole quest, Lord Elrond wants her at Gondor and help the steward of Gondor with war strategies. She says that the steward is Boromir's father and they're not really on the best of terms (her and Boromir). ^_^; She says that all she's been doing these days were discussing war strategies with the guys, poor girl she hasn't been slept since we arrived. Even our missions were less complicated. We set camp in a forest near a lake and in the evening Sam told a story and Legolas sang a very nice song. Then we all learned a simple elfish song. But Kaluriani missed the whole thing, because Miss-I-Didn't-Get-Any-Sleep had a take a bath during the fun. After she showed up at camp after her bath, her nodded to us and went into the tent that we shared. What kind of greeting is nodding? Oh well, she's a party pooper. After this the guys went to their tents and I took a midnight stroll with Legolas. I really like Legolas he's so nice. When we arrived at the camp he kissed my cheek! He KISSED ME!!!!!!!!! But then Kaluriani had to ruin it by screaming. God, her screams are the shrillest things ever. The guys and I rushed into the tent and saw Kaluriani sitting up in her sleep bag. I asked her what was the matter and she said that she had the weirdest dream. So all she had was a stupid nightmare, who cares? I walked out in disgust but everyone else stayed inside, even Legolas.
Kaluriani's POV
I had the worst nightmare…………
[Flashback]
As Kaluriani walked among the black mountains and the erupting volcanoes of Mordor in a silver dress that showed her shoulders, a woman in a flowing white walked up to her and said, "My dearest Kaluriani, how beautiful you look, do you recognize me? I'm your mother. My sweetest Aluri, you mustn't be here, run darling, run far away from here please listen to me. I didn't leave you on Earth for nothing; I wanted you to have a peaceful life. Go Aluri, go and leave Middle Earth you mustn't say or else your father will find you and use you, run now, run away before the monster finds you. Suddenly a man in a black armor walked up to the woman and said, "I'm hurt Täri, how can you call me a monster? After all I am the girl's father, I do deserve to know my own daughter." Suddenly he walked up to the girl and lifted her head up. "Ah, she is truly my daughter, look at the fire within her eyes and the coldness around her. I see the family birth mark on her back." The mark was a silver serpent around the shield of arms (a white rose with blood dripping from it). When he examined the girl, Täri grabbed his arm and told the girl to run. Kaluriani run and run, when she looked back she saw a bunch of orcs dragging her mother away, suddenly she tripped over a rock. When she looked up the man grinned evilly and said, "Stupid girl, hasn't anyone told you that I get what I want and I want you to destroy the stupid Fellowship for me." The girl splat in his face and replied that she would never hurt them. Then the man wiped his face and answered that he was the almighty dark lord Sauron and that Kaluriani is the Dark Princess of Mordor. He showed her, her life in the past. The girl saw herself killing innocent people and children. Then she looked up at Sauron and said that she would never help him. Sauron laughed and replied, "I can see the blackness in your soul Aluri; sooner or later you will help me. But I'll have to teach you a lesson for disobeying me." Then Sauron took off part of the armor covering his left arm and rolled up his sleeve. Then he pressed his birthmark and Kaluriani fell down screaming. The mark on her mark felt like it was on fire and Sauron said, "If you do not help me you will feel this pain when you kill my soldiers; however, you won't feel it during your battles, you'll feel it after it and the amount of pain you fill will depend on the amount of people you kill, the more that more painful."
