Chapter 17 - An Entish Visit

Daniel, Julliet, Jeremy, and Legolas finally arrived at Fangorn Forest. Daniel and Jeremy were in front of Julliet and Legolas, who were holding each other's hands. Daniel and Jeremy were talking about whatever they usually talk about and they kept walking into each other. Soon, after about five minutes into walking into the forest, Jeremy was already scared.

"What's the matter with you?" Legolas asked Jeremy. Jeremy was white.

"Sorrie, I get nervous whenever we go into forests . . ." Jeremy replied.

"Why?" Julliet asked. Jeremy kept quiet.

"Oh You are the BIGGEST whimp in all of Middle Earth." Daniel said.

"NO IM NOT!" Jeremy argued.

"YES YOU ARE!" Daniel argued back. They kept arguing for about half an hour, until Julliet cleared her throat, then they both looked at her and Legolas to find to confused looks on their faces. "Hehe. Never mind. Let's just keep going." So they continued through the forest. Soon, they approached a huge tree.

"Man I'm tired . . ." Julliet said, wiping the sweat off her forehead, and then leaning back on the tree. Suddenly, the tree just moved. "AH!"

"What is it?" Legolas asked, readying his bow.

"T-The tree! It moved!" She said.

"Hmm" Daniel said, circling the tree. "I think this is an Ent." He concluded.

"What's an Ent?" Jeremy asked.

"I'm not just An Ent, I am ZE Ent!" The tree replied. It had a powerful voice and made all four of the elves jump. "My name iz Chantal, and I am ze prettiest, Ent in all of Fangorn Forest."

"Uh, right." Legolas replied.

"What are YOU doing in mon area?" Chantal asked.

"Uh. We're looking for two Hobbits." Daniel said. "Have you seen them? A wizard kidnapped them."

"Non." Chantal replied. "I have not . . . But I might be able to help you.. If you do moi une favour."

"What do you want?" Julliet asked. "Can we sacrifice Jeremy?" He looked at her in shock, and then at Chantal in fear.

"Not quite . . ." Chantal replied. "Go to ze Temple of Ze Grenouilles. And find me 15 frogs, and I vill help you."

"OK." They all agreed.

"Where is it?" Daniel asked.

"Follow ze yellow brick road!" Chantal said, pointing to a yellow brick road. So the four friends went down the road, in search of The Temple of the Grenouilles.
