('Quel re amrun, well I'm tired, but I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that I was up for an hour in the middle of the night typing. Can't think of anything funny to say, so I'll just get on with the story, here it is, right now.)
Finally I stopped babbling and Gandalf walked off. He didn't really look like he had taken in a word I'd said but there you go. When he comes back again, he cant say I didn't warn him.
Anyway, that day, or was it night, I couldn't really tell, oh wait no we see that sunlight from in Balin's tomb room so it must be day, (A/N I always liked Balin, he was my favourite in the hobbit, then he features twice in various mellon chronicle stories. And yes that was another random babbling sentence so I will now go back to the story) so yeah, that day we arrived in the halls Dwarrowdelf, right on cue Gimli ran crying into the tomb, (ok I noticed this when I watched the film, he sort of a turns a corner and then goes into the tomb room, I mean, how did he know it was going to be a tomb room if he couldn't see into it, and he's never been in Moria before so he couldn't know that that was a room reserved for tombs or something, yes more babble, from now on you have permission to just skip the random, mindless rambling)
Diane, skipped happily after him, followed by the rest of us who were walking more slowly. As we entered the room, the normal fellowship were shocked to see Gimli kneeling on the floor crying, that is until Elin recited solemnly
"Here lies Balin, son of Fundin"
"He is dead then." Gandalf said sadly, for once not seeming to care that we were showing off our wonderful, supreme, marvellous, stunning, amazing, spectacular, awe-inspiring tremendously remarkable knowledge.
"We cannot linger." Legolas muttered to Aragorn, nodding fervently in agreement,
Elanor said, "No I think he's right. I think we should go. How about now? Now's a good time, right?" she said looking around, Legolas and all the other earthlings were nodding in agreement, but the other members of the fellowship were listening to Gandalf, who had just touched a disgusting skeleton, just to pick up a book that would confirm the fact that we need to live. When will they learn, listen to the freaks, they do actually know what they are going on about.
"We cannot get out," recited the Istari, Elanor, Elin and myself "The end comes, drums, drums in the deep, They are coming" I was about to suggest that now would be a good time to move when I heard a loud crashing behind me.
"Damn." I said, I had forgotten about Pippin knocking the skeleton in the well, and from the looks on Elanor, Elin and Diane's faces they had forgotten also. However when we turned round we saw that it wasn't Pippin who had knocked in the skeleton, no it was a certain evil one that was the culprit, oh great now she was trying to kill us all. I had warned Elrond that something like this was going to happen, but did he listen, oh no.
"Dolle naa lost" (Your head is empty) I yelled at Lauren, I don't think she understood it but the way I yelled at her was a giveaway that I wasn't best pleased with her.
"Fool of a. . . Edan" Gandalf said, at a lost for an insult, I suppose fool
of an edan just doesn't sound the same as fool of a Took.
Well almost immediately the crashes started echoing, and then I heard the lovely sound of. . . orc screeches, oh joy, you know this really wasn't how I wanted to die, impaled on an orcs hideous blade. I was hoping to die peacefully in my sleep, but at least if I die, I'll be dieing near Legolas I suppose which is the only upside, but even that isn't much comfort.
While I was standing there babbling on about being too young to die, Aragorn, Legolas, Boromir and bizarrely Elanor, had been barricading the door.
As I drew my bow and stood next to Legolas I muttered
"Legolas, if I die avenge my death, ok? And I apologise for being so mean. . . I was just trying to de-Mary-Sue myself."
"Yes, Megan, apology accepted. I shall try my hardest."
"Diola lle, Quel marth" (thank you, good luck)
"Amin n'rangwa edanea" (I don't understand these humans) Legolas muttered to himself, why ever not, I thought, ok so one minute I'm annoying him and the next I'm wishing him luck, but there's nothing confusing about that.
Smiling at me briefly Legolas turned back to the door and shot an arrow through a hole that an orc had just made. As if this was the signal, the doors burst open suddenly and bedlam erupted. While the two men, elf, wizard and dwarf fought with amazing skill, Legolas especially looked very cool, not that that's a surprise, cause you know he always looks cool. The hobbits and us five girls sort of stood in a group, Diane's fencing skills were coming in quite handy, she was killing quite a few orcs, Elanor also was dong well, her natural love for violence coming in handy.
(What can I say? I'm a warrior, bred and born.)
Elin too was managing to kill the odd orc, though she kept squealing every time a blade swung towards her.
Then Lauren was utterly hopeless, she stood there and swung her sword forwards and backwards, succeeding in relieving some of the orcs from their various limbs and almost doing the same to us and the hobbits, but then I suppose I wasn't much better, I killed the odd orc and even managed to shoot one that was about to kill Gimli from behind, but that was the extent of my skill. If I make it out alive, I thought, I'll, try not to annoy the fellowship quite so much, no wait that's a lie, its to fun, I'm even starting to enjoy annoying Legolas, its amusing.
However all my thoughts sort of vanished suddenly when the troll entered the room. Oh Dear, I thought, imagine the troll in the film, and then imagine it ten times bigger, can you see it in your mind, well that's what I was looking at now. Well the fellowship just doubled its attack on the orcs, Legolas was up on a shelf bit and he did this really cool twirling-round-killing-lots-of-orcs-with-his-pretty-knives sort of move. Then all of a sudden he leapt up on to the trolls head and shot an arrow into it.
"Woo hoo, go Legolas" I cried, as he jumped off to kill several more orcs. Frodo, Merry and Pippin ran to hide behind the pillars, fat lot of a good they are, then the troll, even though it is supposed to be stupid, used it almost non existent intelligence to work out that instead of going for the pillar that would provide him with two meals, he would go for the pillar that just happened to be shielding the ring bearer.
To cut a long narrative short, Frodo yelled for help, Aragorn went to help him, Aragorn got stunned briefly, Frodo got stabbed, the younger hobbits jumped on the troll, Legolas killed it, Aragorn recovered, picked up Frodo's supposedly dead body and we all went running out of the chamber as fast as we could. Then Frodo said he was ok, Aragorn said he should be dead, (that's not very nice) Gandalf said there was no time for wonder and we got surrounded by orcs/goblins.
"Gandalf" I muttered, as the orcs leered at us "remember what I said about fire."
"I have not forgotten Megan; I am just choosing to ignore you."
At that moment, surprise, surprise a lot of fiery light appeared, the goblins/orcs disappeared, and we stood in the hall for a ridiculously long time when really it would have made so much more sense to run as soon as the orcs left. But no we had to wait to give the balrog long enough to catch up with us.
Finally we ran, Boromir almost fell of a cliff, but managed to stop himself, only to have Lauren to run into him, luckily for Boromir, not Lauren, Legolas managed to catch the pair of them.
"Make for the bridge" Gandalf cried, and when Aragorn hesitated and drew his sword the wizard shoved him in the right direction saying
"Do as I say, swords are no more use here. You must lead the company"
Nodding we all ran to the bridge when all of a sudden there was a large gap in the way, Legolas, being the graceful elf he is, jumped across immediately, and then called to Gandalf to jump as well, after catching the wizard he called for someone else to jump. Grabbing the two youngest hobbits Boromir jumped across followed by Sam who was thrown over by Aragorn. Diddins jumped across easily after him, and Aragorn went to toss Gimli.
"Nobody tosses a dwarf" he growled. Sniggering, I watched as he jumped across, only to be saved by Legolas grabbing his beard.
"Not the beard, not the beard!" he cried,
"What, you would rather die than lose the beard, how stupid." I said, still laughing.
Elanor took a deep breath and leaped across, Boromir grabbed her hand to help her and Elin quickly followed. Lauren was near hysterical, so Aragorn had to throw her as well, that just left me, Frodo and Aragorn. Again isn't it coincidental that Frodo is in the most danger. At that moment the orcs started firing at us again, closing my eyes and gulping I took a running leap across the gulley, luckily Legolas caught me, yay! Drawing my bow I started firing in random directions, hoping to kill the odd orc, imagine my surprise in hitting one.
Anyway, Aragorn and Frodo started wobbling around on their rock, then it tipped forward, Boromir caught Frodo, and Legolas caught Aragorn, (Yay mellon chronicles moment, don't ask unless you want a long answer that will more than likely confuse you)
Once we were all across there was a mad sprint to reach the bridge before the mysterious fiery thing reached us. Sadly we were too late; just as Gandalf was crossing the Balrog appeared. Well Gandalf did the whole you shall not pass thing, assisted by Elanor and myself who were yelling the words in time to him, then the bridge broke, Gandalf turned round and then got dragged down, Frodo started screaming, along with the other hobbits, and Gandalf, Elin, Diddins and myself all said:
"Fly, you fools"
Cawing like birds us five girls ran out of the mines, hopping around in an attempt to fly, followed solemnly by the rest of the fellowship.
When we were sitting on the cliff, I almost started crying myself, I mean, I knew he was going to come back and everything, but Legolas looked so sad.
However we were not given long to mourn, although the girls weren't really mourning, four of us knew he was going to return and one of us *coughLaurencough* couldn't really care less. Save Elanor. Who cries at everything.
(I was crying for the fellowship. All their hurt and pain. Just because I'm violent doesn't mean. . . Aww. . . **Sobs**)
"Legolas" Aragorn called "get them up."
"Give them a moment for pities sake" Boromir cried
"By nightfall these hills will be swarming with orcs, we must get to the woods of Lothlorien" chorused Elin and me. Diane was to busy looking at the sparkling lake.
Well we had been going for some time, and Sam and Frodo were starting to lag behind, then Legolas looked round and noticed them far behind us. Whispering something to Aragorn, the pair of them turned round and came running up to the two hobbits. To cut another account short, Aragorn boiled some athelas, he bathed Sam's cut in it, then he discovered Frodo's mithril coat, we all exclaimed over its prettiness like a bunch of pirates, then we turned and carried on till we got to Lothlorien.
(A/N Ok, that's enough for this chapter, I'm not quite sure what I am going to do in Lothlorien, so I'll have to think about that for a while. Oh and the reason that I am using more elvish recently is because I found lots of useful phrases and insults and I want to use as many of them as possible, hence the elvish.
Namarie)
