Chapter Twenty-four: Gondor
Gandalf was taking Pippin with him to Gondor to warn the Steward of Gondor about Sauron's plan. But he wasn't to say anything about Aragorn at all because that would upset the Steward. And Pippin wasn't supposed to say anything about anything at all. That was for everyone's good. They really didn't want to tick the Steward off right away. There would be a time and a place for that later. Now, they needed the Steward on their side.
It took Shadowfax three days to take Gandalf and Pippin to Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor. Around and around they rode through the various levels and gates to the citadel where the Steward was.
The current Steward was Denethor, of the house of Hurin. He had two sons, Boromir of Gondor and Faramir. It was no secret that Boromir was his favorite of his two sons. News of Boromir's death would destroy everything that Gandalf hoped for.
But Gandalf didn't have to worry about speaking of Boromir's death because the Steward already knew. And he asked about where his son was because his horn had washed up and it was cloven in two. The Steward quickly flew into a rage when Gandalf ignored his question. Pippin quickly spoke of Boromir's bravery at the final battle, which softened the Steward. Then Pippin pledged his life to the service of the Steward. That made Denethor happy until he saw his youngest son, Faramir.
With him, Faramir had Mary and a small group of Rangers. Denethor began to yell at his son for no apparent reason. The yelling ticked off Mary who began to chase the Steward around the citadel with a flaming torch, yelling at him. Mary threatened to set him on fire if he didn't stop speaking to Faramir the way that he did. He begged for mercy but not before Mary set the edges of his robes on fire. He screamed and stopped the flames out. Then he ordered the guards to send Faramir, Mary and the Rangers back to Osgiliath.
Gandalf was pissed off and decided to hit people with his staff.
"Poke!" he cried as he poked them with his staff. He mainly poked Denethor because he was a big, ugly bully to Faramir and deserved to be treated in such a manner. He actually managed to knock Denethor down and make him twitch convulsively on the floor in agony. Gandalf was so overjoyed that he skipped out of the room singing, "We're off to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard, Gandalf!"
[Author's Notes:
Sorry that this chapter is so short! I wrote it on the bus this morning and I can't see how I can add to it or anything and I wanted to get a post in today. My camping trip is canceled due to weather and I'll be posting every day hopefully this week. So next update due: Wednesday, September 8th.
Reviewers!
(Chapter 21)
Dark Borg Drone – I just hate when that happens and I try to avoid it by having several chapters written before I first post. Then I have something to start with.
(Chapter 22)
Ari Moon – And I remember when a firework got you at your birthday!
A Darker Side of Light – Yes PotC is VERY addicting, and there will be parts of the story that take place in Osgiliath, just not this chapter.
(Chapter 23)
Ari Moon – And yes, I don't like Elrond either! He is a greedy dress-wearer and I'm glad I wrote it in! I'm so glad that I made your day! I know that all the reviews sure made mine J
A Darker Side of Light – Yes triple post days are good, huh? And yes, Gondor is here. And Elvish rocks!
Dark Borg Drone – Ya, I'll be sure to tell Elrond that. He's a major pain in the ass.
Laer4572 – I'm glad that you like the story! Keep reading!
