Revival of the Ring
Chapter 8: Strange poison, Cursed Lands, and Transformations
A/N: Okay. I know I promised this chapter would be longer but I actually just started writing recently...
Sam: That's because she's lazy.
Me: NO! It's because I was working on another fic that I started, AND NO ONE'S READING IT!! ;( cry
Sam: See, it's because you can't write.
Me: (eyes go narrow and I begin beating him over the head) NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR INPUT! Without anymore stalling, and snide comments from Sam, I'll start this Chapter...
Luthien walked quickly ahead of the group. No one knew why she was moving so fast, but soon Boromir caught hold of her arm and stopped her.
"Why is it hat you take us so far, so fast, when one of us is hurt?" He asked with a little urgency in his voice.
"It is because, these lands are not safe. If we stay here long, we will parish before sunrise. Then after that, what would be the point is trying to save him at all. Hurry, the poison is spreading."
"Poison?" Merry looked disgruntled. Pippin had been his best friend for as long as he could remember. They even blew up a firework in their faces together. He didn't think that this was possible.
"Yes, the Orcs have new blades. Did you not see when we were shown, how the Orcs were forging their weapons? They made sure that there was a goop on them before they continued the forging. That allowed for the poison to seep into the metal. Hurry, I don't like this place."
With that idea put into their heads, the fellowship pushed forward with more urgency than ever. They needed to get to a safe place to heal Pippin before they were found here.
"Luthien? Is something wrong?" Asked Gandalf as Luthien sped up without warning. She did not answer but stopped and looked around as if sensing danger. "Luthien? What is it?" Gandalf asked again.
"We will camp here tonight. We have not choice. Put the hobbit under that root, there's where he'll be safe. Oropher, I need you to find some Zebrina, it's very popular to this area. It's a white flower with blackish purple lines. You know it right? Find me three of the blooms." Luthien turned to Legolas. "I need you to help me make this. I need you to crush the flowers. When they are crushed, make sure he eats all the flowers bits. It's very important. It will heal him. Now, I, I have to go. I...um...Just follow my directions and he'll be fine." With that Luthien took off at a very fast run. She turned and disappeared.
"I don't understand what just happened." Said Boromir, "Where did she go and why?"
"I don't know, I really don't. But look, here comes Oropher with the Zebrina."
They followed Luthien's advice exactly and within and hour Pippin was healing.
Boromir did not seem so sure of Luthien's behavior. He thought she was acting strange so he followed after her while no one was looking that night. As he walked, he felt a weird chill in the air. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound like snarling. He turned the corner quietly and Luthien but something was happening to her. She was, changing.
He couldn't leave now because he wanted to see what would happen. Luthien looked like she was going through a lot of pain. Her already pointed ears grew long and bat like and a set of enormous bat wings cut through the skin on her back. She was bleeding profusely. She turned around and looked at Boromir. He saw she had grown fangs and her eyes were red. She stared at him and then fell to her knees.
"I never wanted this Boromir! I never wanted to grow up cursed! I just want to be normal, but whenever the moon is full, I am much like a wolf. My true self appears. I know I am hideous."
"Hideous maybe, but only to those who think as such. I know you may think that everyone has the thought that you are ugly, but I know someone that doesn't. I don't, and I know Legolas doesn't either. He cares too much for you. And what of your friend Oropher? Does he not care for you as well? I believe he does. To everyone of this fellowship you've aided at least once. None of us would think you hideous. Trust me." Boromir looked sincere. He approached Luthien slowly and knelt down to meet her eyes. "Only a cruel man would tell you that you are hideous, but if you want, I will keep your secret. I can do that."
Luthien looked unbelievably thankful. She threw her arms around him and her tears fell to his cloak. "Thank you." She muttered in his ear as she fell asleep.
A/N: Okay, It wasn't long but it was 2 pages on word so whatever. Yay! I have 1 more day left of school b/c today I'm going on a riverboat cruise. Sam if you try to throw me over the edge of the boat I'll sick Gollum on you. And you know how vicious he gets. Besides, there's like body parts in that water or sewage or something. Anywho. Sorry it took so long for the chapter. How you enjoyed, maybe I'll have a new one soon. Bye!!!
Sam: Grumble mumble
