Disclaimer. I only own Zana and Merwen, nobody else, so don't sue! I also
don't know any of the songs I put in the beginning of each chapter. Well, I
hope this won't suck too much!
**************************************************************
On a hill, under a raven sky
I have no idea exactly what I've drawn
Some kind of change, some kind of spinning away
With every single line moving further out in time
- Spinning away- Sugar ray
I opened my eyes slowly, not aware of where I was ..it seemed to be a large bed with all kind of strange decoration, something I had never seen before.. faces, flowers, shapes in the wood that looked very expensive. All around me was luxurious.. no doubt, I was in a kind of palace. The ceiling of the bedroom was vaulted, like in cathedrals, painted in a soft blue. And, carved in the marble columns, the moon and the stars. I wondered if they shined in the dark. That would be nice.
I tried to get up but my head was spinning, as if I had drunk two bottles of whiskey. Anyway, I managed to stand up and I walked towards the opposite wall, where a big wooden box was waiting for me. It had a lock, but it was opened, and I checked the inside. All kind of beauty products were there: shampoo, soap, gel, perfumes.. and in a corner, a small crystal box where I found some bottles filled with a blue liquid. I took one and read the label, that said "depilatory liquor" ( liquor??). Put it over all places where you wish to remove your hair forever". "Forever?! This rocks! I wonder what would people on Earth say about this, lots of persons would loose jobs, but this sounds great, no more pain with the wax!"
The door opened and I jumped, scared. "I'm sorry, Lady, if I scared you" A kind of elf came in, she was wearing towels and a dress, and she put lots of underwear in the wardrobe " I came to give you the instructions if you wish to take a bath and put clean clothes".
I smiled, and I felt a bit better. The idea of a bath sounded so well. "Thanks.. my name is Zana, so please, forget about calling me Lady. And you are.."
She opened her green eyes when she saw my clothes, and she didn't reply my question, she just stared, astonished, at the jeans and the sweater.
"What's this? Where do you come from?" She looked scared, but soon reacted. "My name is Merwen and I work for the king in this palace".
"King? Where the hell am I? "I felt dizzy, and sat on a chair. I started to remember some of the stories I had read, and almost all girls who travelled to Middle Earth were sent to Rivendell.
"So.. are we in Rivendell?" She laughed in surprise, and gave me a cup of a warm liquid as she sat beside me.
"No, this is not Rivendell.. and how can you know about that place?"
"I know everything about this world, because where I live they made a story about this.." She blinked, a bit confused, shaking her head.
"I'm sorry ,I don't understand what you mean.." Her gaze was lost somewhere.
But I wasn't in the mood to explain. I went on drinking and I looked at the dress. "This is for me?" She nodded, and she also pointed the wardrobe.
"There you'll find all what you need. And you can ask for all the things you want".
"And you won't tell me where am I?"
"Oh, I'm sorry" She smiled "You're in Mirkwood".
"Mirkwood?!! Legolas home? King Thranduil? "She looked surprised, and nodded again. Ok, I needed to take a bath.
"And you have to eat this breakfast because in one hour you have to be in the meeting".
I became so nervous. A meeting.. with the king, the prince and who knows who else. .I covered my face with my hands. "I'm becoming crazy, this can't be real".
Merwen left the room and I relaxed in the bath.. I used all products they gave me and stayed in the hot water for some minutes. My eyes closed, almost asleep. But my peace wouldn't last forever because my nerves attacked again, I had to get dressed and find out what the hell was happening there, why I was sent to Mirkwood and not to Rivendell, if the war was over or not, if someone destroyed the ring or if I would have to join the group like all the girls I've had read about..
"But those were fanfics, are you crazy? This is happening for real!" My words didn't convince me.
I wrapped myself with a towel and walked out from the bath. Of course, I didn't have my hairdryer, and I really missed it.. my long brown hair was so wet and I hated it. I stopped in front of the big mirror and looked at myself.. I didn't like what I saw, I wasn't the kind of girl for that beautiful place with the beautiful elves. I picked up the dress and put it on.. and when I looked again at the mirror something had changed on me. It was dark green , with long sleeves and it adapted to my body perfectly.. I was slim, more or less, but I had "latin curves" as they call it.. but with that dress I was a different person. I was happy with my height, anyway. .I was taller than average of girls and I could say it was the only thing I really liked of myself. .my eyes were dark, so dark, and my skin pale. A normal girl. But somehow I felt better with that wonderful costume.. or dress..
I went out to the balcony, a nice white balcony made of marble too, and I stayed there for a while , to let the sun dry my hair. I looked in the distance and I only saw woods, trees and mountains.. and the big gardens under me where lots of elves were walking, talking or working.. I heard noises of swords, fighting.." I suppose they're training". And I looked at the elf- girls, feeling so normal and plain in comparison with them. Humans can't be compared with those beings.
I don't know how many time I' ve been there but my hair was ok and I decided to leave and find out where the mysterious meeting would take place. I ate breakfast, brushed my teeth and left.. with a lot of nerves, of course.
