Elves, Pirates and Mistaken Names
Part 2- Meg
It had been a day since Legolas, Will Turner, and Natalie departed on their journey to the nearest Grog-Selling village.
Will was getting restless.
"You never told us it was going to take this long! What's with this place, hundreds of mysterious and magical ruins and forests but hardly any villages?" Will said, annoyed.
Legolas gave him an angry glanced and then turned away as he said," I never said it was a short trip."
As the turned the bend the dark forest that surrounded them gave way to a gigantic dark canyon and one crumbling stone bridge to cross it by. And, there, before the bridge, was the old man from scene 24. (Don't ask) He said something about getting three questions right before crossing the bridge. And it was Legolas's turn first.
"What is your name?" Asked the old man in a raspy voice.
"Legolas Greenleaf."
"What is your quest?"
"To guide these two to the nearest Grog-Selling Village."
"What...is your favorite color?"
"Green."
"Right. Off you go."
Legolas proceeded to the other side of the canyon. Natalie rode up to the old man and answered the questions. And in case you wanted to know, she answered Green as well as her favorite color. But then it was Will Turner's Turner. I mean turn.
"What is your name?"
"Will Turner."
"What is your quest?"
"To find the nearest Grog-Selling village."
"What...is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
"That's easy. 74 mph on a windy day."
".........Umm...yes well, go on then."
And so, all three, plus the horse, got across safely. The continued on down the path until sunset, which is when, nestled in a valley, was the Grog- Selling Village. The setting sun glistened on the rooftops and all that crud. Anyways.
"Behold!" Said Legolas proudly, pointing one slender finger towards the town."Rummagon!"
"Well. I'm glad we finally got here. I was beginning to think you were leading us astray." Natalie said airily, and galloped off.
When the arrived at the city, Legolas pointed out the nearest pub to Will and asked Natalie if she would like to come with him to the Marketplace. At first, Natalie was inclined to decline, but remembering her distaste for pubs, agreed to go with Legolas. As the walked off together, Will shrugged and walked into the pub.
There seemed to be some kind of brawl going on, so Will carefully inched his way away from the 'excitement'. He sat at one of the chairs, as the obviously bored female bartender glanced at him.
"Oh hello there. Didn't notice you come in. I'm Meg. The bartender. Well, actually I'm not. I'm more what you'd call the 'substitute' bartender because my dear cousin, Zeedaya, couldn't be here today. The mumps. Or maybe she's out prancing around with her boyfriend Chad. Probably the second one." Meg rolled her eyes.
Will gave a surprised grin at her. "Captain Will Turner. And my business is to Loot, Plunder, and Steal. Not really. That's what I'm supposed to say. I'm here to stock up, through honest means, on Grog."
Meg gave a surprised grin. "Oh.Well.It's your lucky day then. We have to extra barrels of 'The Strong Stuff' Grog in the back. Two bags of gold." "Deal." He said, and threw to bags of gold down on the table. "You look bored," Said will casually. "Would you like to come with me to find my 'friends' at the Marketplace?"
Meg glanced at the fight, watching as one gruff stocky man banged another gruff stocky man's head up against the wall. She looked back at Will with a smirk. "As long as these 'friends' of yours aren't looting, plundering, or stealing, sure." They walked outside into the torch lit street, being that the sun had already set a while ago. When the got to the marketplace, the found that Natalie and Legolas were not looting, plundering or stealing, they were flirting. Natalie was giggling happily at one of Legolas's not-so-funny jokes. (Elvin humour. What do you expect?)
"Well," Said Will with a smirk," I see you two have gotten used to each other."
Natalie stared furiously at Will. So did Legolas.Then, noticing the girl next to Will, snapped back. "And just who is she?"
"She happens to be a rather intelligent young woman that I met at the...pub. Her name is Meg. Anyways, I was just about to ask her if she would like to come with me on my ship. Adventure, deceit, riches, the whole lot. Howwa bout it, Meg?"
"Well, if I stayed here in Rummagon I'd probably be subjected to being one of those anonymous peasants in the background of epic tales, and that's certainly not what I want to do with my life. If I go, however, I probably will meet up with some pretty scary individuals." Meg pondered.
Will glanced at Legolas. He whispered to Meg. "You already have."
Legolas squinted irritably at Will." We should get going. We need to get through the forest by morning. Morning is when The Spiders feast."
"You said 'The Spiders' as if you were righting it you would capitalize the T and S. That must mean these are no ordinary spiders."
"Indeed. Make your decision now, Meg." Legolas said.
"Erm...Sure I'll go with you." She said. "I know a shortcut through the forest, but it leads by a cave that a rather grumpy old dwarf lives in. He can get pretty nasty with the slingshot, so be careful."
And so, the band of four now made their way into the 'shortcut' which was called by Rangers, 'The Path of Doomed and Naive Travelers." But they group didn't know that. Yet.
