Don't hurt me please. I am a teenager.
Out of the Firing Pan and Into the Fire
Silverjaws got her first job in no time. She was to help a farmer with a crop problem. He was having a very weak harvest and was unable to pay off a debt. She flew over his crop and sprinkled her magic all over it and the fruit immediately started sprouting.
"THANK YOU GOOD DRAGON," cried the farmer with joy.
She smiled happily and sailed away. She flew down to her magic room. A cauldron sat over a fire in the middle and there were hundreds of shelves with spell books, potions books, dragon magic books and many other books, while other shelves contained hundreds of ingredients, bottles, a wand, crystals, minerals, scales, a torch stand and a fire ring for boiling small concoctions and dragon dust ingredients. She walked around the cauldron to a book that was opened. She picked the book up and walked around the room taking down ingredients and placing them on a table.
Once the ingredients were gathered she slipped away to get the last ingredient, a dragon egg 5 hours away from hatching. She placed the egg on the table and started mixing the ingredients as the recipe said to.
The concoction was made up and she placed the now 2 hours away from hatching dragon egg into the mixture. She watched the egg for it to move and hatch. She pulled the egg out of the concoction wearing rubber gloves and set it on the table. The egg slowly started to shake and the creature started cracking out.
The creature finally pushed it way out and sat on the table looking around. It was four legged, wingless, with a narrow snout, three claws on the hands and feet, and a terrible looking claw on the feet. It was about twelve inches long and eight inches high.
Silverjaws turned to another book and flipped it open. She turned to a page and started gathering ingredients for the concoction. Once she gathered them she mixed them together, took an eyedropper and filled it up. She gave the concoction to the creature and it grew to its full size, although it was the same age the creature was as strong as an adult and just as deadly.
"Shastsy I welcome you to my world," she said to the creature. It cawed in response to her and bobbed its head. "My first Velociraptor, you were borne from dragon egg and magic. I gave you life, it is time you return the favor and serve me," she said and the Velociraptor made a purring sound. Silverjaws smiled and nodded to the creature.
"CELEBANC, LUNCH TIME!" called her grandfather from the palace. She cocked her head to listen then she pulled a dead deer from a closet and gave it to the raptor to eat. "Do not touch anything else while I am gone," she said and left.
Silverjaws ran up to the palace to meet her father at the door. "You are late ield-nin (my daughter) come lunch is waiting," said Legolas.
She followed him into the palace to find it completely decorated with ribbons, "What is the occasion Adar?" she asked "YOUR BIRTHDAY OF COURSE!" everyone shouted.
"My birthday is not till next week," she said without any hint of surprise.
"Adar and grandpa are leaving for a meeting in Rivendale and will not be around for you birthday so they decided to celebrate it today," said Wildknife.
"Oh well that explains a lot," she said and sat down at the table. "You failed at surprising me though I could sense all of you. I sense a wizard is around however yet I do not see him," she replied with a quiet, calm voice.
A man with a long beard and dressed in grey stepped forward. "I am the wizard you sense Silverjaws," he said.
Silverjaws had received many gifts from all of the realms as well as cards from all of the leaders and kings. One card she got was from the dwarf, Balin, saying this 'Silverjaws, I fully welcome you kind to our halls. The dwarves here in Moria have worked with the silver-dragons before they left. We are glad to know that not all of them are gone. You alone will have access to all of our treasure. After all you are the last of a magnificent race of dragon.' She smiled softly and placed the card on the table.
"Silverjaws, all of the cards you have received have all said that you are the last of a magnificent race, yet we are blood sisters why are they singling you out. I don't like that at all," said Wildknife.
"It is Silverjaws' birthday Wildknife; you will probably get cards saying the same when it is your birthday. Besides you can so much as wield a single magic spell," said Malthenlas.
She received many books of spells and potions, more ingredients for potions, and treasures of gold, silver, jewels, and diamonds. She ate, talked, and played games for awhile then her grandfather handed her a piece of parchment. She read it slowly, it was a list of problems that some of the elves were having. "I didn't want to leave without you having assignments," said Thranduil.
"I shall see to these problems immediately," she answered. He nodded and left the room to pack his bag.
'Well this will be fun,' she thought to herself and stood to go out to her magic room.
"Shastsy baby how are you doing," she said when she arrived at the room. Shastsy had made himself comfortable on a cushion and looked like he would fall asleep.
"Well looks like you are doing okay, I must see to some problems now so keep low and out of sight," she said. She sent out her falcon to get the first person.
The elf came to the magic room, "Come in and tell me why it is that you want my help to get your girlfriend to like you more," said Silverjaws.
"She is not really my girlfriend, I just would really like to go out with her but I don't think I am attractive enough," answered the elf.
"You must understand that you will be dealing with dark magic should I go through with this. It requires that you do something in return or the magic will not work and might backfire," she said, which in truth was a lie to get him to fail.
"Yes I understand fully the danger of magic," he answered with a shaky voice.
"Very well," she pulled out a book and looked up a spell. She found the one she was looking for, one to explained her army of dinosaurs and would do a mind control on the elf. She looked at her ingredients and noticed she was out of one essential ingredient. "I need you, yourself to go and get me a specific toadstool; it grows on a specific tree in the forest. You must do this if the concoction is to be a permanent transformation. Sign my scroll of agreement and then you will find the tree on the eastern border of the forest, it will have yellow flowers with purple leaves," she said and the elf signed it and was fully entwined into his doom.
The elf returned three hours later with the toadstool and Silverjaws brewed the potion and had him drink it. "The potion will start working in the morning. Tomorrow go and see your girl," she said. In truth the potion started taking immediate effect after three days. The elf then left not knowing he had been fooled.
Several days had passed and Silverjaws had fooled nearly a hundred elves into taking concoctions that would make them hers to control. The king was due to return and word that Silverjaws was a magic fraud had spread through the forest to all of the elves.
The king had passed through the gate of Mirkwood with Legolas riding next to him. He stopped and looked around sensing something was amiss.
Two young elflings where playing together when a third elfling joined them telling them of a problem he was having with his older brother. His parents had passed away and he was now being taken care of by his brother. "I cannot get my brother to understand me, he is so complicating to work with, I wish I could just fly away or become invisible," he said.
The king sighed softly he had known the boys parents and was deeply sorry for the boy. Suddenly two sly creatures emerged from the shadows. They were two large Compys, named Rufus and Haithy.
"Poor child, poor unfortunate child, he has a very big problem," said Rufus.
"Who are you?" asked the boy.
"We represent someone with great power," answered Haithy.
"Somebody who can help you," replied Rufus.
"Someone who can make all of your dreams come true," said Haithy
"Silverjaws has great power,"
"The witch, I don't trust her, she was the one who killed my parents,"
"Suit yourself, we was only trying to help," Said Haithy
We hope you find a way to sprout wings," said Rufus.
"Wait, take me to her," said the boy, his friends jumped up and grabbed him.
"No mellon she is a demon, a monster, you take her potion and she destroy you just like your parents," said the older of the two.
"Then you can go and tell my brother," he said.
The king realized that he had left a magician unsupervised and she had gone too far. He immediately rode up to the palace and assembled the guards to ride with him to Silverjaws' magic room. Legolas went with them to see the disaster his daughter had created.
Silverjaws sat in her study with her many pets, the elves that had fallen to her will. The boy entered the room. "Come in, you seek my magic and my potions to escape from your brothers hold," she said and the boy stopped.
"How did you know my problem?" he asked. Two raptors blocked his escape from the room.
"My dear boy, I see all things that happen in these woods," Silverjaws answered. "So what is it that you would like me to do to help you. I can turn you into a bird, a bat, a dragon, a flying fish, a hippogriff, a griffin anything you would like," she said.
"I am not sure I would really want your help. You have been known to kill your patients," he replied.
"I never kill my patients, they fail to fulfill their part in the spell and just disappear. Magic is dangerous and black magic is even more dangerous. Most of my clients come to me and ask me to perform black magic. They fail to do their part in it and they lose their proper form," she said.
The boy stood, looking at her. "How do I know I can trust you?" he asked.
"I will give you my word," she said. The door burst open and the royal guard surrounded her.
Her grandfather stepped in the room followed by her father. "Silverjaws you are under arrest for treason, murder, and using dark magic to gain control of the forest," said Thranduil.
"Tie her up in chains and don't let her near the potions wall," said Legolas. The guards did as they were told.
Her pets immediately fled the room and ran away through the forest. Silverjaws was taken up to the palace. By then all of the elves had gathered to inform the King of her evil doings.
After the King listened to all of the elves complaints he turned to Silverjaws. "This is how you would serve me. I agreed to give you freedom after you helped me solve my people's problems and you went against your word. With my back turned you would use that time to stab me," Thranduil said and a guard member entered the room with a scroll.
"Milord I found this in her magic room," he said and handed it to Legolas. Legolas read it over and the long list of names and elves who had agreed with the trade of services. Each name had a check by it. Legolas handed the scroll to his father. "Adar I believe there are more elves that were lost to her dark magic," he said. Thranduil read it over. When he finished he looked up at her with much anger.
"You are banished from this realm. You will be taken to the border of the forest and you will never return here again," said Thranduil.
She was taken away and was thrown out of the forest. "Do not worry about me, I have always wanted freedom. Now I have it and a few hundred friends waiting for me in the Forbidden Forest," she said after the elves had left.
She turned and headed for her new home in the Forbidden Forest.
