Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the plot and myself
Dedicated to: Kaitlyn and Sam (my hockey girls!!!), Roz (you crazy thing you!!), and Zac ( who listens to me ramble about LOTR and Harry Potter when no one else will)
"Father, may I present the ladies Sam, Sam, Kaitlyn, and Roz, and the lord Zac," Elladan said with a bow.
"It's an honor to meet you my lord," I said, bowing as well, "I have heard much about you. We have knowledge of the future and of the Ring we would like to share with you."
He looked at me for a moment, processing what I said, but then he nodded. "Very well, I will hear this knowledge at a later hour. For now I must speak with Gandalf, I shall have you shown to rooms and given…proper attire." He reached for a delicate gray rope hanging nearby and pulled it. I heard silvery chimes ringing from somewhere else in the house.
I looked at my friends, who were being unusually quiet considering how much they usually talked. "Why so quiet guys?"
"Well, I think Roz is in shock, Zac won't stop muttering holy shit under his breath, Kaitlyn keeps muttering about how we're going to miss the game, and I'm being quiet cuz I don't have a friggin clue what's going on," said Sam, pointing to each person as she talked about them.
"Yeah, that's about it," Zac said with a wry smile on his face, "how'd you figure all that out?"
Sam grinned at him. "I'm never wrong."
Don't I know it, I thought to myself.
A tall blonde female elf appeared in the doorway. "Mani heru an amin?"
I looked at Elladan questioningly. "She said what my lord. I take it your not familiar with the elven tongue?"
"I only know a few words and my friends know none," I told him.
He nodded and then walked over to the blonde elf and told her something. She looked over at us and nodded, and then she started toward us. "Greetings, I am Anwen. I am to take you to my lady Arwen Undomiel to be properly attired." She herself was wearing a pale green dress I would have killed for and was eying our jeans and t-shirts rather distastefully.
Elladan stepped up and motioned to Zac. "Come with me to my quarters so we can find you some proper attire."
Zac looked rather disappointed. "Can't I go with them to meet Arwen?"
"Not unless you want to wear a gown," laughed Anwen, "my lady has no clothes of men."
"Oh, alright never mind then." Zac said quickly. He turned and practically ran out the door after Elladan
I laughed to myself at the thought of seeing my friend in a dress and followed after my friends and Anwen through the twisting halls. Soon she stopped us at a pair of ornate doors. She knocked on them and called out again in Elvish. The door opened and there stood Arwen herself. She smiled at us and gestured us to come into the room.
"God this is weird," Sam whispered.
"Damn straight there girl," Kaitlyn murmured back. Roz merely nodded her head in agreement. I was beginning to get worried about her not talking, but I was soon distracted by all of the dresses that were lying on Arwen's bed. My jaw dropped open in amazement and I turned to see the same looks on the faces of the others.
"They're beautiful!" Sam gasped.
We started going through all of the dresses. I found a gorgeous dark red dress with long, full sleeves that fell to the floor. Sam found an equally beautiful light purple dress with sleeves that looked like mine. Roz sorted through them quietly until she found one that was in Ohio State colors. She held it up to us excitedly.
"Oh my gosh, look you guys! OSU colors! Maybe this place isn't so bad after all."
Kaitlyn popped up next to me with a grin on her face. "Look, its Nailers colors, red and black! Not to mention its just plain beautiful."
Now that we had all picked a dress, Anwen motioned for us to follow her from the room. Arwen nodded graciously at us and told us to have a good day. Anwen led us down yet another long hallway to our rooms.
"Lord Zac's room is in the men's quarters if you should need him, and if you should need me then pull the gray cord in your room and I will come as soon as I can." Then with a graceful curtsy, she hurried down another hallway.
"Well, guess we should go change," Sam said, glancing toward the bedroom doors.
"Yeah, guess we should," agreed Kaitlyn.
"Yeah…." Roz said, seeming distracted for some reason.
"Ok then, see you guys after we're all changed," I called as I headed toward my door. I can't believe I'm actually here, I thought excitedly, I wonder what's going to happen next….
I hope everyone's liked my story so far! I'm going on vacation soon so I won't be able to update for a little while. Thanks to everyone who's read and reviewed, I really appreciate it!
