A/N: Okay so this took a while but it is pretty long. Anyway this is kind of random but Gelmir and Luthien became such a big part of the story that you need to see what they are up to. Thanks for reviewing guys but keep them coming! I love reviews!
"I still cant believe that you two are going to Ellesmera. By the time you get there Leona and Eragon would have left by then!" Roran exclaimed as he saw Gelmir and Luthien mount their horses. Gelmir laughed and said,
"Roran, they got there in a few days, yes? So we should get there in a few days! We will be back with Eragon and Leona in a week or so. Until then, wish us luck!" With that being said Gelmir and Luthien galloped down the field without saying another word. Roran tried to get their attention as he yelled,
"But Leona and Eragon got there with their dragons, not horses!" But Gelmir and Luthien couldn't hear him they were too busy singing an old annoying folk song loudly and quite off tune.
"So, do you know how to get to Ellesmera?" Gelmir asked Luthien. They were traveling down the Beor Mountains. Luthien shook his head both then he got excited.
"Wait! I thought this might be needed!" Luthien went into his saddle bag and pulled out large parchment paper that was rolled up.
"What in god's name is that?" Gelmir asked looking at the paper mysteriously.
"It's a map!" Luthien exclaimed then unrolled it and skimmed his eyes on the map. Then he said,
"Are we heading north or south of the mountains?" Gelmir looked around and then he pulled out a compass and said,
"North." Luthien nodded like he actually understood what he was saying then said,
"Well, we have to stop that now, we must go east." Gelmir questioned his decision and said,
"East? I thought Ellesmera was up north." Luthien looked at Gelmir and shook his head and said,
"Not according to the map." Gelmir got a confused look on his face and he did not think that they should head east. His instincts told him north and so he said,
" . . . Well if the map says east the we shall go east!" And they turned their horses to the right and they went on from there. At night they set up their camp under a large tree that gave them shelter. They thought it was interesting so Luthien said,
"Let's climb this tree, for old time sakes." Gelmir didn't so much like the idea but he hadn't climbed a tree since his youth . . . or at least a few months ago.
"Whoever gets to the top wins!" Gelmir cried out as he ran up the tree. When Luthien tried to get on the tree Gelmir just simply pushed his head with his foot and said,
"Ha ha! You suck!" Luthien was angered now and he climbed the tree very fast trying to catch up with Gelmir but Gelmir was already on top of the tree looking up at the bright stars.
"You ass face! I would have won if you didn't push me!" Luthien cried out to him but Gelmir wasn't even listening he kept his gaze up at the stars so Luthien decided to do that too. They sat like that for a few moments then Gelmir put his arm around Luthien and Luthien did the same. They sat like that for another few moments until Luthien said,
"This is rather homosexual." When he said that Gelmir quickly let go of him and said,
"Luthien you ass I was having a touching moment I was thinking about . . . never mind"
"No, tell me tell me!" Luthien said like a five year old. Gelmir clenched his jaw and said,
"My father and mother." Luthien decided not to say anything beause when Gelmir would think about his parents Luthien knew that he had to shut up. All of a sudden the two men heard chirping noises below them. Gelmir moved a branch and say a whole nest of baby birds.
"Aw, look at them, all alone there," Luthien said with big eyes. Luthien did not realize but Gelmir did that their mother was on a higher branch.
"Now, where's your mommy, huh? Did she desert you like mine did?" Gelmir then said,
"Uh, Luthien, the mommy is . . ." The bird attacked them and clawed them with her talons scratching every place she could. Gelmir and Luthien screamed like girls and were pushed out of the tree, but not but the mother, by Luthien's over dramatic movements. They lied on the ground for a moment then Gelmir yelled at him,
"You are a complete idiot! You are going to be the cause of my death I just know it!" Luthien could not help but to laugh and Gelmir had to let out a little chuckle too. In the morning they started on the trail again and Gelmir was about to kill Luthien for his annoying singing.
"When the sun comes up and the moon comes down . . . IT'S ANOTHER GLORIOUS DAY!" This was not even a song; it was something that Luthien made up that got Gelmir more and more insane.
"When the birds sing and the flowers bloom . . . IT'S ANOTHER GLORIOUS DAY! When the . . . "
"STOP SINGING! No wonder I'm your only friend!" Gelmir yelled at him. Luthien shut up for a while and then it got too quiet to Gelmir said,
"Where do we head next? We are almost done going through the mountains." Luthien pulled out the map and scratched his head and said,
"Alright, we keep heading right until . . . we reach the city."
"Just right?" Gelmir asked. Luthien nodded a little unsurely but kept going on the trail he was following.
The next day they reached a waterfall that had a small lake underneath it. Unfortunately there was no way to get around the lake, the only way to get across were rocks that were scattered across the small lake.
"Alright so we have to cross the lake by going on the rocks, so I'll lead my horse and you lead . . . "
"That's just stupid," Gelmir said interrupting Luthien, "Why cant we just go through the water, it's not that deep." Luthien looked in the water and shook his head as he said,
"No, you never know what could lie in that lake so just follow me." Gelmir rolled his eyes but followed Luthien on the rocks. The rocks were not small but they were slippery because of the algae. Luthien would slip every now and then but the horses were just fine keeping up with him, except Gelmir. He would slip on almost every rock and when he just could not take it anymore he said,
"Luthien this is stupid! I'm going through the water!" When he said that he jumped in and muttered curse words as he chugged through. When Gelmir passed Luthien on the rocks Luthien said,
"Uh, Gelmir I don't know . . ."
"Oh Luthien I am just fine, nothing is in this water." And he lifted his head high and continued to walk through the water. When he got out he laughed and said,
"Luthien, it is really funny to watch you slip on your ass on every . . ." Gelmir felt something on his back that was terribly itchy.
"Ew, why am I so itchy?" Gelmir said as he scratched his back. He then felt something on his back that was long. He took of his shirt, but he didn't dare to touch whatever was on his back. Then he finally let it out. He screamed like a girl and ran around in circles screaming,
"LUTHIEN! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! I have something on my back!" When Luthien was finished with his rock adventure he went to Gelmir and said,
"What? What's . . . Oh my god." Gelmir looked at him and said,
"What? What's there? Tell me!" Luthien burst out laughing and then he got serious and said,
"You have leeches all over your back, man." Gelmir freaked out again and said,
"GET THEM OFF! Get them off, get them off, get them off!" Gelmir was almost crying and Luthien was crying because of how hard he was laughing then he said,
"Ew, I'm not touching those things!" Gelmir gave Luthien a death stare and Luthien knew better not to get Gelmir any angrier than he already was when he gives him the death stare.
"Alright, alright, I'll get them off, jeez," Luthien said. Gelmir bit his own hand so he could ease the pain and so it would stop him from crying like a girl. Luthien hesitated each time he would reach for one of the leeches but when he did he pulled it off and yelled,
"Yes! I finally got . . . AHHHHHH! GET OFF, GET OFF!" Luthien cried as the leech crawled up his arm and stuck there.
"NO! It's on my arm!" Luthien cried. Gelmir turned around with a horrified look on his face and said,
"No! Now we're going to die! Oh my god! We get the worst luck!" But Luthien wasn't listening to him. He was too busy screaming and running around. The two men were screaming in high pitched voices which really did not do anything to help the leeches get off. Then Luthien's horse came over and stared at the leech on his arm.
"No, don't touch it!" Luthien warned his horse, but the horse did not pay attention and pit the leech and tore it off of his skin. Luthien screamed in pain as his horse spit the leech out and stamped it down. Luthien looked at his arm and the leach was gone. He turned to his horse and said,
"Laemir! You saved my life! Oh I love you!" He gave Laemir a big hug around his neck and did not hesitate to let go. Then Luthien heard many various screams from Gelmir. He turned around and saw Aravis doing the same to Gelmir. Luthien winced at Gelmir back, it was all bloody, but Gelmir ignored it and kissed his horse various times followed by a hug. Gelmir turned to Luthien and said,
"Well I think we handled that very well." Luthien nodded in approval as they gathered their things to start heading on the road again.
The next day was probably their last day of traveling.
"So the map says we should get there soon. We passed a big cave, yes?" Gelmir nodded. They were terribly tired and they really weren't aware of their surroundings. So, they crossed a bridge that looked sturdy but it was no where near sturdy. When they got the middle of it, the bridge collapsed and Gelmir and Luthien were so tired that they didn't even know what was going on until they fell hard on the ground.
"Ohhhhh, I'm dead . . . I died, I died, I died, I died, I died." Gelmir said as he got up and looked around his surroundings. Luthien was on the ground but the horses were just fine and they were standing up. He was confused and thought that a fall like that would have killed him.
"Why aren't I dead?" Gelmir yelled out. Then Luthien woke up and said,
"Ohhhh, is this hell? OH NO! I thought I should have gone to heaven! Was I that bad of a kid?" Luthien cried but Gelmir said,
"We're still alive, I just don't know how we managed to not be dead." Luthien looked up and saw that the broken bridge was not that high up.
"Could be because the bridge is only ten feet up," Luthien said. Gelmir looked up and said,
"Too bad that didn't kill me." Luthien got up and the two looked around their surroundings. Gelmir saw a big rock that had Elven designs on it. He walked toward it and just looked at it. Then anger filled up his whole body and he kicked it. The large stone did not move, but Luthien did.
"Gelmir! We're here! We made it to Ellesmera!" Gelmir didn't believe a word he said and he went on his knees and looked to the rock and said in a pleasing voice,
"Please, just kill me." Luthien got out the map and yelled out n an excited voice,
"Yes! We're here! We made it!" Gelmir turned around to Luthien with anger wound up in him and said,
"This is a stupid rock! We are not even any where near Ellesmera!" Luthien looked at the map with confusion and said,
"Well according to the map this is where . . ."
"Give me the bloody map!" Gelmir yelled at him. Without hesitation Luthien gave Gelmir the map. Gelmir looked at it and Luthien could have sworn he heard cries form him but Gelmir managed to say in a calm voice,
"Oh, Luthien?" Luthien came next to him to show that he was listening.
"This is a map that we drew when we were twelve," Gelmir said again in a rather calm voice. Luthien laughed and said,
"Oh my! Ha! Oh what memories from this map! This is . . ."
"YOU STILL HAVE THIS MAP?!" Gelmir said not in such a calm voice anymore. Luthien knew that Gelmir was about to kill him so he said,
"Gelmir, who knows maybe this rock is valuable! Maybe, it is a portal to Ellesmera, and all we have to do is say the magic words! Or if we believe we are in Ellesmera the rock will respond to our beliefs and take us there!" Gelmir had a frown on his face and was slouched over, but he nodded to Luthien's little story and said,
" . . . I'M GUNNA KILL YOU!" Gelmir ran to Luthien and tackled him to the ground and they both rolled around fighting continuously. They passed the big rock and they went into a forest, fighting as they rolled down a big hill covered with moss and leaves. When they reached the bottom Gelmir got Luthien on the ground and was about to punch him in the face when Luthien cried out,
"We're here! We made it!" Gelmir didn't believe it and said,
"Oh, yea we sure . . ." Gelmir was interrupted by Luthien grabbing his head and facing it to the right. In front of them was a city, but it was no Ellesmera, it was greater. The city was filled with gold, the streets, the temples, up to the golden sun was golden. Then they saw some people walk by and they both quickly hid behind a tree. They had ears like the elves except their skin was much darker. Gelmir and Luthien had their jaws dropped and Gelmir managed to say,
"Luthien?" Luthien did not look at him but he said,
"Yea, buddy?" Gelmir took one last look around the city and said,
"I don't think we're in Alagaesia anymore."
A/N: So what did you think, should I continue with this "place"? Of course they probably come up on every other chapter and I have definantly not given up on Leona and Eragon. Hint: something big is going to happen with them so . . .REVIEW!
