Chapter 8 Interlude
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////////
There are days when all you just want to do is run around in circles and scream for hours. Then there are days when you just want to sit there and do nothing all day. Then there are days where you are insanely happy.
Then there are day's when you about to commit murder in the most creative ways.
Yup, Rei was having one of those days. Well......weeks.
Rei groaned as she pulled herself into a tree branch about eighteen feet above the ground and then gasped out, "They have..no cars..no trains..no planes..and miles and miles to walk to just get to another city!"
Below her Legolas could be heard singing, and preparing some rabbits that he had caught earlier.
Nice, large, tender, juicy, morsels of meat just waiting to be bit into.
Her mouth filled with saliva, food! All that she had eaten in about 3 weeks was berries that she had found and some leaves.
Once she had accidentally eaten Poison Ivy.
Have you ever eaten poison ivy before? No? Well let me tell you something, it sucks.
She was surprised that she hadn't died.
The only thing that saved her from discovery was the fact that she had been trained as a priestess. (And the fact that she had to live with Chad trying to serenade her outside of her window in the middle of the night.)
Legolas' singing grew louder.
So did Rei's stomach.
And then the fire grew bigger.
So did Rei's hunger.
'I have self control, I am not hungry at all; I have self control.'
There was a pause.
Ah, screw it.
"FOOD!!!!!!"
She threw herself down off the tree, ran to the fire, grabbed a rabbit, and began to eat as if this was the last meal she would ever have.
You'd think that this would've given Legolas a reason to join his mother in Mandos' Halls.*
You'd think.
"I'm glad you finally decided to join me Rei."
Rei froze.
"You seem to be really hungry. I guess eating poisones plants doesn't really suit your system."
Ah shit, "You knew I was there?!"
"Of course! I've known since the beginning."
"The beginning?"
"Ever since we left Eryn Lasgalen."
"How?!"
Legolas laughed, "I am an elf! I was trained by the best warriors Middle- Earth has ever seen, and I fought in the War of the Ring! You think I would have not noticed you following me?"
Rei's eyes darkened, and she began to study him, daring him to say the wrong thing, "So, now what?"
Legolas sighed, and looked at the shadows of the Misty Mountains that could be seen in the distance, "You will just have to come along, Lady."
Rei's eyes lost that I-am-going-to-kill-you-in-the-next-five-seconds-if-you- do-not-let-me-go-with-you look and began to sparkle with happiness, "Great!"
Legolas had no idea what he had just gotten himself into. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Thranduil was becoming peeved. "You have a daughter?" He demanded.
Gandalf smiled and nodded, "She was born nine months after the Maiar were sent to Middle-Earth by the Valar.
After pulling the remaining senshi off Gandalf Thranduil had ordered them to be sent into separate rooms in which to stay in until the other Elf Lords arrived.
Even the mighty Thranduil couldn't handle the senshi by himself.
Thranduil and Gandalf were in the Great Hall alone, sitting in chairs and sipping some wine.
"But I thought Maiar couldn't have babies."
Gandalf smiled, looking sad for the first time after the War of the Ring, "Oh yes, we can."
Thranduil looked him straight in the eye and said, "Tell me."
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Minako's eyes had lost their laughing sparkle. Her stance no longer wore casualty and her hair for the first time in years was pulled back into a tight bun. Her clothing was no longer colorful and fun. She wore a yellow dress with a slit up to mid-thigh, with orange high-heels.
In fact Minako Aino no longer stood there. Queen Minako Aphrodite of Venus, the planet of Love, did.
Why is she like that you ask? Setsuna was having a nervous breakdown and Usagi was in sheer panic. Haruka and Makoto were being controlled by their anger and Michiru and Ami did not know how to handle these situations. Rei had disappeared, along with Hotaru.
She was in charge now, and there was only one obvious path left to take.
"I must lead the senshi out of here. To find our way home." //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Elrond was having one of those days.
He had woken up this morning from a terrible nightmare.
He dreamt that there was a dark presence seeping into Eryn Lasgalen, destroying everything in its path. He saw his sons, Legolas, Thranduil, Glorfindel, and nine strangely clad women standing at the palace wall, staring defiantly in the darkness's direction.
The dark force came. They fought. They died.
Elrond sighed, what was he to do? Could this have been a vision?
After the meeting about the strange power flow the day before he had begun to have a very bad feeling creep into the back of his mind. Elrond Peredhil** was worried.
'Celeborn, Galadriel, Thranduil, Gandalf, they must be informed!'
And so he sent forth scouts to all the other Elven lands, unaware that Thranduil had done the same thing.
'A battle is coming.'
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
*J. R. R. Tolkien never mentioned Legolas' mother in the books. So I am going to go with the general assumption that she had passed on to Mandos' Halls when Legolas was just a child.
**I'm not sure if I spelled Peredhil right. Peredhil means Half-elven for those of you that don't know.
