14. Lothlorien

Chapter 14 - Lothlorien

The adventurers had a hard time heading through the Misty Mountains, but eventually they escaped. They arrived in the forests of Mirkwood a few days after they left the Misty Mountains.

"This is where we are from." Legolas said, looking around the autumn forest. It was the exactly noon. "Sadly, I think our journey will end here . . ." Iekika and Julliet groaned.

"Aw! Why!" Julliet complained. "Me and Nicole have become very good friends!"

"And I think that this is a once in a lifetime experience and we shouldn't miss out on it!" Iekika said.

"Why can't we?" Legolas asked in disbelief. "What do you mean "Why can't we?"! I mean . . . Look at them!" He pointed to the rest of the crew.

"What!" Feliesha asked. "You got a problem with us!" She asked.

"Oh just leave him alone!" Daniel said. "He has a point . . . I mean, look at us!" He said. Feliesha nodded in agreement. "So where are we going exactly?"

"We are almost in Lothlorien, the city of Wood Elves." Legolas said. "Once we're there, we'll decide if we should continue on your pointless journey or not . . ."

"OK." Daniel said. They continued, somehow they got off the path, so Anna and Aragorn used their swords to cut through the bushes.

"Man, when will we get there?" Anna asked, not really expecting an answer.

"Yeah I know!" Jeremy said. "I'm SO hungry. It must be lunchtime . . ." Soon they arrived in Lothlorien, and they were greeted at the entrance by Haldir.

"Well, well, well . . ." Haldir said. "If it isn't Prince Legolas and his love slave, Julliet!" Julliet growled at him. "Why are you back in Lothlorien? Shouldn't you be off on some deadly quest to destroy the One Ring."

"JUST LET US PASS!" Iekika said, storming to the front. "We're tired, and we want some sleep!" Haldir noticed who it was.

"M-M-Mistress Iekika!" He said, "I'm sorry to bother you people! Please, go through!" He said, moving out of the way for them to pass. As they were walking, Daniel and Nicole went up to Iekika.

"Why is he so scared of you?" Daniel asked.

"It's because I killed my twin sister Galadriel." Iekika said. "It was right before we departed for Rivendell."

"Why did you kill her?" Daniel asked.

"She broke one of my nails!" Iekika said.

"You are just plain old dimwitted . . ." Nicole said. "Now, where can we rest?"

"Oh, follow me!" Iekika said. "I'll see you all to the inn!"
