Preview #2
Here is a second snippet from the third part to my Lord of the Rings/ The Stand crossover for when you finish with the first parts of this trilogy. I hope you have enjoyed reading "Currahee" and "Honor and Courage" and will be looking over the third book in the trilogy, "The Rising."
Merry Prankster
Western Elm Tree Ranch
Snellville, Georgia
1200 Hours
"Are you sure you re well enough to walk around?" asked Gimli. The dwarf had left Legolas watching Erica while he stepped outside. Even a dwarf sometimes needed to get out once in awhile and he decided to see how Haldir was holding up.
Haldir looked up and answered, "Yes, Gimli, I am well enough to get up for short periods of time. Besides I wanted to see how Gandalf's grand daughters are fairing."
"I left Legolas watching over Erica while stepping outside," answered the dwarf. "She has yet to awaken from her deep sleep."
The two began walking towards the ranch. "And Reggie?" asked the elf.
"She was asleep as well. Gandalf mentioned that it will not be long before she awakens. In fact she ahhhhhhhh…….."
There was a loud splat and Haldir looked over to see his companion sputtering and dripping wet. It did not take much to see that the dwarf had been hit with a water filled device of some kind. He did not have time to ask him what happened before a second water balloon slammed into Gimli's head. The first balloon had been filled with clean water while the second with soapy water. Both balloons came from the ranch's upper level. Haldir looked up to see Reggie standing behind an open upstairs window, holding a slingshot armed with a third balloon.
"It would appear that Lady Reggie has awakened," commented the elf.
