Chapter 10 - Going Solo
Following Gandalf's instructions, I ran along the edge of the forest for a few miles, then turned south east, in the direction of the hills of Emyn Muil, though I was hoping to met them long before I'd get anywhere near there.
I ran faster. I knew I had to meet them. There was no 2 ways about it. Luckily, I didn't have to find them. They found me.
"What is a lady doing, roaming around the lands at such times?"
I turned to face an arrow.
::I have a feeling I've been in this situation before.::
Keikæ: Actually, that's pirate and I was looking for you.
"You lie!" Said the tall, blonde one, who I presumed was Legolas.
Don't jump to conclusions, Leggy dear.
Keikæ: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.... You have it all wrong. I was sent by the Lady Galadriel and the wizard Gandalf, and yes, I am a pirate.
Legolas: You lie! You may be a pirate but... Gandalf has fallen....
::You IDIOT Keeks – of COURSE they think Gandalf's dead you numbskull! And anyway, you are a PIRATE dressed as a 21st century Londoner CLAIMING to be a bloody PIRATE. Does that make sense?::
I took a deep breath.
Keikæ: Whatever - I haven't got time for this.
I kicked the bow and arrow from the elf's hands, (I'm sure I've done this before.), jumped easily over the dwarf to see Aragorn draw his sword. I met it. With a swift move, he swung his sword and rendered me vulnerable, gaining the upper hand. (Don't worry if that makes no sense – it's the move that Eowyn uses in the two towers at Edoras.)
Keikæ: You seem somewhat familiar – have I met you before?
This wasn't exactly the way I had intended to introduce myself. I attacked, twice, and each time he blocked.
Aragorn: I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates.
Keikæ: You know, you're very good at this, aren't you?
Again, the sound of metal clashing could be heard.
Aragorn: I do a lot of practise.
I dropped my sword in an act of peace.
Keikæ: You need to get yaself a girl mate.
He slapped me.
Keikæ: Not sure I deserved that. Or perhaps the reason you practise so much, is that you already found one and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch, are you?
He slapped me again.
Keikæ: I may've deserved that.
Aragorn: The reason I practise so much, is so that when I meet an orc, or a pirate, I can kill it!
I grabbed my sword and he struck again. I parried, tripped him up and held a knife at his throat.
Aragorn: You cheated!
Keikæ: Pirate!
I then felt an arrow tip at the back of my neck.
Legolas: Release him.
I dropped the knife and stood up, my hands in the air. Aragorn quickly grabbed his sword and swung it. It would have hit me, flat side, if Gimli hadn't grabbed Aragorn's arm.
Gimli: Get a grip on yourself laddie."
Aragorn: Don't you dare speak of Arwen.
Keikæ: Oh, so it is about the girl!
Aragorn slapped my again. ::Cheeky little slapper.::
Legolas: I suppose you didn't deserved that one either?
::Dude! I love it when he says that!!::
Keikæ: : No – that one I deserved.
Legolas: Estel – [Leave it. She is no enemy. We need to go – we are wasting time.]
Aragorn: Your name.
Keikæ: Captain Keikæ Sparrow.
Aragorn: And you're a pirate?
Keikæ: Well, it's more of a bet than an actual title. Long story, I won't go into it as you're short on time.
Aragorn: We are
He turned then stopped and came back.
Aragorn: I didn't know you spoke Elvish.
Keikæ: I don't.
Aragorn: Then how did you know that?
Keikæ: Know what? Do you mean Merry and Pippin, the fellowship breaking, Boromir's death, the uruk-hai, the fact that I know your names and generally what's going on, or Sam and Frodo's flight?
They looked astounded.
"Everything."
Keikæ: I have my sources.
I grinned in a Jack Sparrowesque manner.
Legolas: Aragorn! We can not delay, there is less than a day ahead of us.
Aragorn: Yes... but what should we do about the girl?
Keikæ: Hem, I do have a name, and I would appreciate it if you used it. Short Pause Do you lot always look stoned?
They hadn't the slightest idea of what I was on about.
Gimli: The lass should come with us, it's not safe in these lands.
Legolas: I agree. Aragorn, we must go.
He sounded more insistent this time. He nodded.
Keikæ: That means aye?
"Yes."
Keikæ: O. Good. Ta very much.
::Gandalf'll be happy.::
