"Oh, James. Your going on a trip. Where ya goin'? Huh, huh. Tell me PLEASE."
"Sirius, shut up. And anyway. I dont know if Im going yet. I never Agreed to go," he said, shooting a look at Allanon.
"Whatever, where ya goin," Sirius persisted.
"West to Arborlon to see the home of the Elves," Allanon said.
James stared at him. Arborlon. The great, famous, ancient, and all those other names, city of the Elves. Wow. He had never seen an elf. Much less been in a city of them. They were in many stories though. Great warriors who fought with Bremen against Brona, and helped destroyed him, or so he thought. If Allanon was right and Brona had come back......
" Sooooo, when we leavin," Sirius asked, disrupting James' thoughts.
" You must leave soon," Allanon said. " The Dark Lord already knows about you. You must leave as soon as possible."
" Awwwwww. Jamiespoo is in troubleeeeee," none other then Sirius screamed.
He was quickly silenced as Rose hit him on the head.
" Oww women. Dont hit me," he scolded.
" Had to make you shut up somehow," she answered and turned to Allanon, " why is the Dark Lord after James?"
" That I cannot tell you right now. Maybe later, yes later. But now, we must get ready to go. Logain, we need a horse for each of these young men, as early as possible, please."
Logain, who had been watching this whole episode as if watching a soap opera, finally snapped to his senses and said," Wait just a minute. Why are you taking my son and his friends to Arborlon? Why is the Dark Lord or Voldemort after them. And why can't I come?"
" We must meet with King Elrond and his daughter, as said before I cannot tell you, and you must stay here and protect your family and business, along with your daughter," he said, and gave Rose a hard stare as she started giving him puppy dog eyes.
" Fine" she said, and left the table without another word.
" Ooooo-K. So James' extremely hot sister cannot come with us. Darn."
" SIRIUS," James and Logain screamed.
" Kidding, kidding. Geesh, cant you people take a joke." They both gave him a glare that clearly meant 'NO'.
" Well, I suggest that you boys get a good nights sleep, since we will be starting out at the crack of dawn," Allanon said, and started getting up from the table.
" Dawn, as in just when the sun comes up," Sirius asked.
" Dawn as in around 5 or 6 in the morning," Remus pipped up.
" Dawn as in TOO EARLY TO WAKE UP," both boys said.
" Yup" Allanon stood up and started walking towards the door. With his hand on the table he turned back to the boys and said " be careful," then was gone.
" Well, wasnt he just pleasent?"
" I dont know about you two, but if we're getting up THAT early, Im going to sleep now," Remus, always the logical one, said, and started walking up the steps.
" Me too," Sirius said, and raced after Remus.
James decided to get a snack before he went to bed. After a few cookies and some milk, James slowly walked up to his room. When he entered, he stood in shock His whole room was covered in feathers! And right in the middle of the mess was none other than Sirius and his sidekick, Remus.
" Wha-wha-what did you DO TO MY ROOM," James shouted.
" Ahh, we, that is to say, we were just, uh, Remus, a little help here."
" We, we were just, just, just, ah.RUN." Remus said as he a Sirius ran towards the door, which James easily blocked.
Finally after 3 minutes of running around James' room, during which Sirius started jumping on his bed and singing at the top of his lungs, while Remus attempted to climb out the window, Sirius and Remus escaped, leaving a very disgruntled James to clean up their mess.
James woke up early the next morning and began packing some clothes into a bag. With around 10 minutes left until dawn, he decieded to wake Remus and Sirius up. He silently crept down the hallway and into their room.
Then he jumped on Sirius' bed screaming " WAKEY WAKEY. RISE AND SHINE. SIRIUS. SIRIUS. SIRIUS."
Sirius then kicked James' feet out from under him and James fell on the bed with a *thump*.
Remus was laughing hysterically as Sirius and James spent the next 2 minutes wrestling each other, while trying to get untangled from the sheets at the same time.
When they finally pulled themselves together, they only had 5 minutes to eat breakfast, and if you had James Potters appetite, this was not a good thing.
The 3 boys quickly ate their breakfast, and went upstairs to get their things. Next thing they knew, Allanon was standing in the hallway beckoning for them to hurry up and be quiet.
They said 'goodbye' to the Potter family and headed to the inn's stables, where they each saddled their horse and finally set out on the dirt road.
James had told Sirius and Remus all about Allanon during breakfast that morning, and they were quite reluctant to talk in front of him. Even Sirius, who could normally never keep his mouth shut, was quite.
They rode until midday, when they stopped along the river for a break. Allanon would not allow a long break, so after 10 minutes they were riding west again. Finally, as the night was quickly falling, Allanon found them a place to spend the night. However he would not let them light a fire, which made the boys really angry and irrated.
There journey continued on like this for 4 days, until they reached the Mermidon River. That night, the boys were alone, as Allanon had insisted that he scout ahead. They were talking about stuff, just the normal things teenage boys talk about. When they heard an ear piercing shriek, followed by another, only closer.
They stopped talking immedently and shrank back into the bushes. Just when they were about to come out, something moved to the left of their hiding place.
It was too loud to be Allanon, but what was it? Suddenly a shaft of moonlight broke threw the clouds and James was able to see the creature clearly.
It was the same thing that had stalked him just the other day. He quickly used the wishsong to make him and his friends invisible. After 20 minutes of the... thing.... just looking around, it decided nothing was there and flew away. James made sure it was gone before he stopped singing, then said in a quiet voice to Sirius and Remus, "shuuuush. Don't talk. It might come back."
" Your talking."
" Shut up"
" Whatever"
" Sirius"
" That's my name, and I am defiantly not."
" Huh"
" Sirius is not serious"
" Just shut up"
" Why dont you"
" Would you boys please shut your mouths," Allanon said, causing the 3 boys to grin, well only 2 since Remus hadnt been talking.
" Do you want that Skull Bearer to come back?"
" So... that's what mr. ugly was. I thought it was a mutiated bat or something."
Everyone just looked at Sirius who quickly shut up.
" Come on. It's not safe here." Allanon said.
" Somethings been following us." At this everyone started looking around. Suddenly they heard some leaves crackle and twigs break. The boys took a step back, while Allanon stepped forward.
The noise steadly increased as the thing got closer and closer and closer, until.....
" Dang it Pete. You scared us." Peter stepped out of the forest. He was a short, kind of chubby boy, around the others age, he was James' friend from the town of Budd, near Leah.
" Sorry. Mr. Potter said you guys left, on an adventure or something, and I was bored, so I decided to find you and join you."
" Pete, go back home. Trust me. You dont want to get involved in this," Remus said.
" Please. I'll be good. I wont whine at all and I'll even take care of the horses for you. Please. I have to go."
" And why is that..." Allanon said, staring at Peter.
" Well...um... I dunno really... I just want to...go. So can I. Please?"
Allanon studied him for a minute more, which caused Peter to shy away from his piercing gaze.
" Fine," Allanon quickly said and started walking away, " But we leave as soon as possible. Get your stuff.
" The rest of the journey passed uneventfully, unless you count that time where Peter fell in the river. Or when Peter tripped over the log and sprained his ankle. Or when Peter was 'accidently' pushed into Allanon, being rewared with a hard stare and a few angry words. Soon, they entered the Valley of Rhenn, and caught their first glimpse of Arborlon.
"Sirius, shut up. And anyway. I dont know if Im going yet. I never Agreed to go," he said, shooting a look at Allanon.
"Whatever, where ya goin," Sirius persisted.
