Chapter 6: The Finding of the Two Sticks
"Gandalf! Where are you?" yelled Amber as they walked down the endless hallways of the Rivendell palace.
"We'll never find him in here, see if there is a spell that will teleport us to him or something like that." said Mary grabing one of the books from Amber's pile that she carried under her arm. Amber did the same then sat down on the ground and started to look through the pages of the book.
"No, no, no, definitivly not, mabey this one will work... how to get into other peoples minds. What do you think Mary?" asked Amber giving Mary the book.
"Hey... I could use this against someone evil that I know..." said Mary getting the evil glint in her eyes once more, Amber shot her a dirty look.
"Fine, go and spoil all of my fun... let me try this one this time." Mary closed her one eyes and with her other open eye she stared to chant a spell... nothing happened.
"Let me try." said Amber taking the book out of Mary's hands then doing as Mary had just a few seconds ago... but had the same result as before.
"Lets see, maybe we just aren't powerful enough to work this spell on are own... lets go find Gandalf and see if he can help us with it." said Amber getting up and starting down the hall.
"Amber is your short term memory loss kicking in at the moment? Because we need that spell in order to find Gandalf you supercillious mendacious moron!" said Mary, Amber turned around and blushed.
"Fine then, its not as if we can just put ur blood together and then our magic will be stronger..." said Amber jokingly, Mary looked up at her eyes shining,
"Yes we should do that!" exclamed Mary.
"Oh no you don't, I'm not spilling my blood anywhere." said Amber.
"I was being serious!" said Mary standing up.
"So was I!" said Amber.
"Why don't we just try to hold hands and recite it or something like that."
"You take the fun out of everything... fine give me your hand and say the magic words." said Mary,
Amber did as she was told and they both said the incantation, this time though succeeding only for a few seconds but still managing to see that Gandalf was in the garden.
"Okay... that was a bit scarry but oh well, lets go." said Amber picking up her three books and Mary did the same picking up her three books and running after Amber.
IN THE GARDEN:
Gandalf quickly picked up his staff when he had felt a strong magic suround him, only for a second yes, but it was still enough to freak him out.
The conjurer drew closer... he could sence the magic growing stronger every second. Then a twig snapped and Amber and Mary both fell out of a tree.
"Why a tree Amber? Why a tree for goodness sakes!" exclamed Mary getting up and noticing a large rip in her pants. Mary looked as though she wanted to kill Amber at that second.
"Acually it was your fault for not consontrating hard enough on the spell then... it said that only grays could do it remember??? And two blacks aught to make a gray... oh hi Gandalf we need your help. You see Mary and I, we became wizardresses and we need to know what to do next... Help us please." said Amber getting up and practally on the ground begging.
"I am sorry but I do not know who you are." said Gandalf wondering if it was the she-elf or the human who posessed a greater power than he.
"I am Mary the black... I think that is what you would call me and the elf there is Amber the black. We just became wizardresses a few hours ago and we need your help to do what ever it is that you do next." replied Mary just as Katie burst through the brush followed by Mercedes who somehow managed to force Legolas into giving her a piggy-back ride (she looked quite happy about it too).
Then second last came about four elves who looked VERY confused and last but CERTAINLY not least... were two VERY VERY confused fictional characters named Emerson and Ramses.
"We have been searching for you forever! Legolas managed to track you until you just dissapeared, oh and thanks for making us be the ones who had to explain to Ramses and Emerson what is going on!" said Katie gasping for breath, hair very much messed up at the moment.
Mercedes finally got off of Legolas reluctantly and walked over to them too. "What she said!" she yelled.
"Well we dissapeared because Mary and I tried a teleporting spell and it went a bit out of wack..." said Amber.
"Try a lot out of wack." inturupted Mary.
"Enough of this... so you are saying that you two little ones put your magic together and performed a spell that only the most powerful wizards can preform?" asked Gandalf not believing what he was hearing.
"Yes... and while Mary may be little I most certainly am not! I'm taller then elf-boy over there... well almost anyway." said Amber.
Legolas looked anoyed, but it was true... Amber was just a few inches shorter than he making her the tallest fourteen year old elf that he had ever encountered.
"May I ask what is going on here?" asked Ramses looking more confused by the minute, Emerson nodded though still stairing at the short human Mary who had sort of brought him there... she was kinda cute. Ramses was too a bit interested in the she-elf whom had brought him there.
"That is not important now, what is important is that you two do as you are told by me from now on... first you must find each a staff to hold some magic in." said Gandalf.
"Great, now lets go find us some staffs, staves, what is the plural form for staff?" asked Mary, Amber looked just as confused then Mary's eyes started to glitter. "I know, I'll get a dictionary from the library." she said starting to walk towards the library.
Legolas and Katie then grabed both of her arms holding her up from touching the ground.
"There is no way we are letting you in that place again Mary... you are to dangerous in there." said Katie holding her up higher.
"Don't worry Mary I'll get it!" said Amber running towards the entrance, but her path was inturupted by Emerson and Ramses who threw themselves at her knocking her down, then holding her down on the ground.
"I am terribly sorry miss Amber but we can not allow you to bring anyone else back from the past." said Ramses.
"Mercedes... go get a dictionary for Mary." said Katie, Mercedes looked at her in amazement.
"You're kidding me right? I don't like books, I mean look at what Mary and Amber did while in there... and it's all from reading too!" said Mercedes slowly walking towards the exit to the garden.
"No , there is no time for that, Mary and I must get our... our... our two sticks. So, Good bye and get off!" yelled Amber strugling to get out of Emerson and Ramses' strong hold on her.
Mary finally managed to get out of the hands of Legolas and Katie and ran over to Amber then stopped and picked up a spell book, quickly flipping through it to try and find a spell that might work to get Emerson and Ramses to let go of Amber who was failing miserably at trying to get out.
"Aha, here we go... hyujiity polikuool rgthy wefrdeet maat!" said Mary and with a flash of light Amber dissapeared then reappeared in front of Mary.
"Okay then, Gandalf where do we have to go, and how do we get there?" aked Amber recovering from the little incident awhile ago.
Gandalf nodded. "Come with me younge wizardresses as you say and I will show you the forest you must gointo to get your two sticks as you also say it." he said walking towards a near by forest.
"This is it? This is where we each get a stick? A little itty bitty forest!" said Mary trowing her hands up in the air for dramatization and dropping the books in the process, she let out a little sqeak and scrembled around picking them up. Amber rolled her eyes.
"Yes this is, now you must go in there, into the center of the forest is a small clearing where you will each find your staff... now get going before it gets dark." replied Gandalf walking away. Mary finally finished having another one of her book spazzez and got up
"You ready to get our sticks?" asked Mary brushing off another speck of dirt off of a weapon spell book. Amber nodded and started to walk in.
"Fine go ahead and start without me... don't you think we really should have gotten a bag or something like that to put the books in?" asked Mary running in after Amber.
'Yes acually you are right, we should have bugged elf-boy bout that." replied Amber almost tripping over the hem of her skirt. "Oh and next time remind me not to wear a skirt... wait a second, I am wearing jeans underneath." said Amber taking off her dark blue skirt revealing a very dirty pair of blue jeans.
"Good now lets get going before it gets to dark for us to see and we end up walking into a tree." said Mary almost doing so.
After walking for an hour they finally came to a small clearing where they found a rock in the middle of it. And in the rock there were a staff for each of them.
"Finally! I never thought we would find em', I want the one on the right." said Amber running over to the stone and tried to pull it out of the stone.
"Great, its the sword in the stone all over again! I guess I get the one on the left." said Amber walking over to the other staff, the black one with little silver designs on it, Mary went over and pulled out the other staff, a black one with gold designs on it.
"This is good, now we can get out of here and on to find the one ring!" she said.
Both girls started waving their "sticks" around, trying to get the feel of them. Suddenly Mary stopped and froze. "Did you hear that?" she whispered, Amber stopped and listened.
"I think so..." she replied straining to hear what Mary had just heard.
"What, you're an elf and you're STILL half deaf?!" Mary said incredulously. "There's someone coming towards us."
They were both silent, and Amber could hear someone or something moving through the trees. Mary pulled out her daggers and Amber knotted her bow as the thing burst into the clearing!
