Relief is a strange feeling. Everyone reacts differently to it; mostly depending on the amount and how scared you were before. In my case, I had a waterfall of relief wash over me. This is probably why I went crazy.
Yes, I went crazy.
I burst out into hysterical and uncontrollable laughter which I doubt anyone would have been able to stop me. It felt so good to laugh at this life threatening situation. That troll didn't seem so big anymore. Once I finally calmed down, I taunted my new stone friend.
"Whatcha gonna do now, punk?"
"Are you gonna try and eat me now!"
"Come on! Put up your dukes!"
I beat my chest like the girl version of Tarzan. Then I made two fists and pretended to box the frozen troll. He didn't move, so I was happy.
I decided that I should probably eat something. I hadn't eaten in two days practically with all of the activity of traveling through Middle Earth. I hoped that there was some food left in the bag I amazingly still had flung over my shoulder.
I dug through the bag and found the canteen I had been sipping earlier on the trip. Well, before I had to run for my life from the troll anyways. Somehow I had been able to run with it on. I really hoped the contents (and possible food) were not harmed in my sprint.
Jack pot.
Wrapped inside a handkerchief I found some bread. This bread was light but filling for a person on the road. It tasted rather sweet,and it reminded me of what people think of elvish bread is like. Good thing it tasted good. Then again, anything would have tasted good at that moment Except for grass. I would not eat that.
I sat down a few yards away from the stone troll and ate my bread. I put back the handkerchief in the bag after I was done. When I did that, I realized there was another pocket on the inside of the leather bag I hadn't seen before. I reached inside and discovered something.
It was an illustrated guide to Tolkien's world.
Maybe God has a sense of humor. Why would he give me this? This would make my journey really easy. I have a map, and a history of all the peoples and events. I wouldn't have to worry about remembering anything. But if this has all the information on Middle Earth, then if I loose it, I could mess up all of Middle Earth history if someone finds it. Of course that's why I have it. There is always a catch isn't there?
I looked at the map. It happened to have a comprehensive map that showed everything from the beginning of Beleriand to the final years of Middle Earth. "Boy, this would be one dangerous tool for anyone with power. I better keep it to myself" I thought internally.
I shoved it back into my bag, in the more secretive spot. I went toward the line of trees I thought I came out of.(The key word there being "thought".) Then I noticed a large river running next to me.
"Well, if this doesn't tell me where I am, I don't know what would" I thought.
"I believe this is the river that leads to the fords" I decided to walk near the river back toward what I think was the trees.
I felt so happy I broke out into a rendition of "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley. And "danced" my way down the river bank. Well, if it's called dancing. But I was having fun! I love acting like a lunatic even in the wilderness. It makes life interesting.
Finally after days of journeying, I reached the fords. This would have been easier with car. I should find a place to rent one. Hope they're not too expensive. Maybe the cheesy sales man will give me a good deal.
The fords were bigger then I expected. I really needed to find a bridge, or a horse. Whatever comes first I could use it. . . But I didn't see anything.
"Great" I thought. "I've got to wade through waist high water just to get to Rivendell. Well, I have been needing a bath. I'll just think of it as an icy bath."
I took off my bag, sword, and belt and held them over my head as I walked in the water. Most of my responses to the water were " Gah! It's cold! It's freakin' freezing! Can't they heat this water a little?"
Strangely I made it across without been swept away. I was a tad bit chilly when I got out of the river. Rivendell was in sight and that's all I cared about. I hiked up the hill/road and found myself at the gates of Rivendell. My long journey finally over at last. I think . . .
I knocked on the gates; hoping they wouldn't shoot me at first glance. The gates opened and I drew back. Two elves with really big bows and deadly aim greeted me at the door. They looked rather wary of me. It could have been style of dress, or the fact that I was wet up to the waist.
"Who are you and why do you bid entrance to Rivendell." The elf to my left asked.
I had to clear my throat, because I hadn't spoken to anyone in over a day. "I am a stranger that has been traveling for many days. I've been rather lost and I'm very far from home. I need a place of refuge. I don't mean you any harm. Could I stay here?"
Just then brisk wind blew across me. I shivered. Then I looked down at my feet.
They were disappearing.
They were turning into glowing blue plasma energy. Even my sword around my waist was melding into the energy. The elves stood awe struck. I on the other hand, was TERRIBLY freaked out.
My bag and belt had now become plasma energy and soon I was consumed. I could do nothing about it except stand there. Now I was gone completely and the wind had picked up again.
I felt myself flying with the wind. It blew me over the river and I found myself swirling in another portal in the river. I saw the outside world disappear above me. I was on another journey it seemed.
The elves at the door still stood there in awe struck. The right one dared to speak.
"Do. . .Do you think that was the new security system Elrond was talking about?"
The left one looked at the other one. "If it was. . .it works really really well."
"Huh. . . I guess I'll ask him about that." He replied.
They walked back into Rivendell very baffled. Which is not that easy for an elf.
