A/n" Wow so sorry for the long wait guys, but this is a Gelmir and Luthien chapter and I know you guys like them a lot, this is also a long chapter and I have been having writer's block. But the chapter is finally here so now you can . . . review!
"Well, let's go in," Luthien said but Gelmir pulled on his shirt and pulled him down and said,
"Are you crazy? They'll probably eat us alive!" Luthien chuckled and said,
"Be realistic, Gelmir, why would they . . ." Just then one of the natives of the golden city saw them and pulled out his spear and point it at them as they screamed in high pitched voices.
"What is your purpose here?" the man said in a powerful voice. Luthien stuttered as he said,
"We're just passing by, nothing illegal by that right?" Gelmir was still mortified by the spear close at his neck. The man looked at Gelmir and Luthien closely and still had no expression on his face.
"Come with me, the high priest would know what to do with you," The man said as he finally lowered his spear and Gelmir finally started breathing again. When the man started walking Luthien and Gelmir called out to there horses to follow and they walked into the city. Many people looked at them with horrified faces but some with glad faces. When they finally reached the high priest's temple they saw that he was doing some odd magic that weirded out Gelmir and Luthien.
"What in God's name is he doing?" Luthien whispered to Gelmir. Gelmir shook his head slowly and said,
"I don't know but we should get the hell out of here," Luthien looked to him and whispered back at him,
"Are you crazy this is a city of Gold! If we find a way to steal some we could buy five years worth of mead!" Then the man turned around and said in a powerful voice,
"Silence! The high priest, Elkor, would like to speak to you now." Luthien and Gelmir stood terribly straight and turned their focus to Elkor who still had his back to them. Elkor finally slicked his long black hair into a low pony tail and turned around. He had markings on his face and had large golden earrings on as well. A large golden necklace hung over his neck along with marvelous gold and red colored clothing. Then his eyes got wide and he looked to the tall statue behind him and looked back at Gelmir and Luthien and gasped,
"Please follow me! The Elmora citizens would love to hear of your arrival!" Luthien and Gelmir shrugged and followed Elkor outside to see that the people have already crowded around. As they neared closer to the crowd they saw a very large heavy man with long black hair and with only a large royal blue cloth covered his body along with many golden jewels around his neck. His eyes went wide and the high priest walked forward and raised his voice to the people,
"My fellow Elmorians! After waiting one thousand years they have come! The ones who made our golden city . . . Our mighty and powerful gods!" The people were silent with shock and awe. Luthien whispered to Gelmir,
"They think we're their gods?" Gelmir nodded blankly and whispered back,
"Yea, let's just go along with it but lie low, don't get carried away." Luthien nodded and stepped forward and said,
"Yes! We are the mighty and powerful Gods! And we have come to do . . . Godly things!" Gelmir pulled him aside and said,
"I told you to lie low!" When Luthien was about to say something the large man said,
"My lords! What shall we call you?" the Chief interrupted. Gelmir and Luthien turned around and Luthien said in a powerful voice,
"You shall call me Luthien!" Gelmir managed to go along with the flow and said,
"And I, Gelmir!" The crowd discussed this until the chief said,
"My Gods, as chief of this beautiful city you have created us, may I ask; why have you come here now?" Luthien turned around and had an angry look on his face,
"Do you dare to question the gods?" The chief's eyes got wide and said,
"Well no I just . . . " Then Gelmir said,
"Don't make us . . . "
"Use our God magic!" Luthien finished the sentence for him but it was the wrong answer. Elkor turned to him with an evil grin on his face and said,
"Yes! That is exactly what we want you to do! Show us your divinity!" Gelmir and Luthien turned to each other. Gelmir had the look of killing Luthien but then Luthien said powerfully,
"Give us one moment please!" Gelmir pulled Luthien and said calmly to him,
"Luthien, you know that little voice in your head that tells you when to stop?" Luthien nodded as Gelmir said furiously,
"Well you don't have one!" Then in the distance a volcano was erupting which made the high priest say,
"Here is your time to show us your magnificent power, my lords! Stop this volcano from erupting!" Gelmir and Luthien panicked.
"What do we do? What the hell do we do?" Gelmir whispered over and over again. Then Luthien said,
"Maybe we could tell them we are not the Gods." Gelmir smacked Luthien in the back of the head and said,
"Are you crazy? They'll kill us right on the spot!" The volcano's roaring got even louder and lava started to creep out of the volcano.
"Do you have any magic from your mother's side?" Gelmir shook his head and said,
"I don't think so, I take after my father! Oh my god we are going to die!" Luthien took him by the shoulders and said,
"No, think about it! You may have some magic since your father was a dragon rider! He had magic right?" The volcano grew louder and louder every second.
"We are waiting my lords," Elkor said impatiently. Gelmir then said to Luthien still in a quiet tone,
"Yea, but even if I did have magic I wouldn't know what to say!" Luthien then thought of the only thing to do . . . he grabbed Luthien and hit him many times on the head saying,
"Think! Think! Think you idiot!" With all of the pressure building up on Gelmir he finally roared out,
"Letta!" Gelmir then looked to the volcano and heard that the volcano had stopped roaring and the lava had stopped pouring out. Luthien and Gelmir gasped and if they were not gods they would have hugged each other but instead they nodded like they do this all the time. There was a long silence and Luthien finally had the courage to turn around to see how the people reacted. They were all down on their knees with their heads down to the ground as well. Then Luthien went with his instinct and lifted his arms in the air as Gelmir did the same.
--------------------
"I am chief Moltiko," said the heavy man as he lead them to their large temple that was exactly one thousand steps high to the entrance.
"We are very pleased to have you here, my lords . . ." as the chief continued with his speech Gelmir and Luthien were not even listening, they were having the largest troubles climbing up the steps. When they reached the five hundredth step they were on their hands and knees pulling their sweaty bodies up and up the stairs.
"Gelmir?" Luthien gasped as they slowly crept up the stairs.
"Yea, buddy?" Gelmir said breathlessly then he started to hear him cry faintly,
"I think we're going to die!" Luthien started to sob and Moltiko turned around and said,
"Is everything alright? Why are my Gods on the floor?" Gelmir stood up and lifted up Luthien and said,
"We were just . . . smelling!" Chief Moltiko had a confused look,
"Smelling?" Luthien sucked it up and said,
"Yes, smelling! We were making sure that . . . our golden steps . . . smelled the same they did before!" The chief looked like he suspected something and Gelmir and Luthien knew they were ratted out. They knew they were about to get sacrificed with some odd sword that they handcrafted of some sort. Then Moltiko finally said,
"Well do they?" Luthien looked up expecting a different answer and said,
"Do they what?" Chief Moltiko laughed joyfully and said,
"Well, do the stairs still smell the same?" Gelmir rubbed his neck and said,
"Well no, but it will do, it will do." The chief laughed again and they were only a few steps to the entrance. There was a royal blue curtain that shielded the entrance to their temple. The chief pulled back the curtain with a smile and said,
"My Lords, your temple awaits you." Gelmir and Luthien entered the golden temple. It was unlike any place they have seen. The walls were gold and sow was the furniture with beautiful cloths draped over with big pillows. Gelmir's and Luthien's mouth hung open as the chief said,
"Does this please you my lords?" Gelmir and Luthien turned around and woke up out of their awing.
"Yes, yes," Luthien said powerfully as Gelmir said,
"It will do." The chief smiled and said,
"Well, that's good news! Tonight I will be holding a grand feast for you along with the citizens of your Elmora. The High Priest will also be offering you a tribute at dawn. 'Til then my Lords!" With that being said the Chief left with them in silence. Then after a few seconds the silence stopped they bother cheered as Gelmir said,
"Luthien! We're in a city filled with a load of suckers! Ha!" Luthien cheered and said,
"Yes! And Gelmir? Where the hell did you get that magic from? You said you couldn't do magic!" Gelmir laughed and said,
"I don't know! I guess my mom was helping me in the heavens. But who cares we're . . ." Gelmir and Luthien looked at each other and flexed their arm while they said,
"Mighty and Powerful Gods!" Then there was a long silence as they just stood their flexed then Luthien said,
"Now what?" Gelmir said,
"Um, I guess we could look around our temple." They dropped their poses and wandered off to look at their temple. They went different directions and Gelmir landed in his room first. The room was embroidered with gold and the bed frame was also gold. Gelmir gasped and simply fell into the bed . . . well not really he actually jumped franticly on the bed and hurt himself while doing so but he didn't care he was in heaven. Then he became alert when he heard Luthien scream his high pitched scream, that either meant he was excited or he was in deep trouble. Gelmir ran out of the room and said,
"What? What is it?" He finally found Luthien in a room with a huge tub of water.
"Gelmir! They have a bath tub!" Gelmir rolled his eyes,
"Of course they have a bath tub! We have one back at home!" Luthien turned to him with a smile and said,
"Is the one back at home . . . heated?" Gelmir looked back at the tub and put his hand in it. His hand was warmed instantly. Then he looked closer in the water and said,
"Hey you could see your reflection really well in this water." Then Luthien came closer to the water and said,
"Really?" Gelmir nodded and got up slowly and then simply kicked Luthien in the ass and went right into the water. Gelmir laughed hysterically as Luthien came up to the surface of the water with an angered look and pulled Gelmir in as well.
"You idiot!" Gelmir said as he stood up in the water. Luthien then said,
"Well you're the idiot too! You pushed me in first!" Then Gelmir made a big splash at Luthien. And Luthien sent one back as well, and then their angered fight became a splashing party.
"Hey Gelmir! Look at this one, it's gunna be big!" Then Luthien body slammed the water and there was a huge splash. Gelmir laughed and said,
"I want to try!" When he was about to do it he realized that there was only about a few inches of water in the tub.
"Where did the water go?" Gelmir said and they both looked out side the tub and found the water all over the floor. Gelmir glared at Luthien as he nervously laughed and said,
"Well it was fun while it lasted." Gelmir sighed and got out of the tub and grabbed a cloth. Then he wandered into a room where the walls were gold but they were illustrated on and there were two outfits lied out on a dresser. Gelmir looked at the wall and said,
"Luthien, come here and look at this!" Luthien came in soaking wet and looked at the wall. It showed a man killing another man. Luthien had a disgusted face on and said,
"Well that's just lovely, thanks for showing me this, Gelmir!" Gelmir also had the same look on and said,
"What's up with them and sacrificing?" Luthien shook his head and then turned his gaze to the two outfits and his eyes grew wide.
"Oooo, let's where these to the feast tonight!" Gelmir looked to the clothes and said,
"Are we allowed to?" Luthien was already taking off his shirt and said,
"Gelmir we cant go in our old wet clothes! Besides, we are the Gods remember? We could do whatever the hell we want to do!" Gelmir smiled and put on the clothes. They were not used to this type of clothing since all they had was a cloth tied around their waist, the only thing that covered their chest was jewels, and they had some sort of weird crown on.
"So, do we look like Gods?" Luthien said. Gelmir looked at him and said,
"Honestly I think we look ridiculous but if this is what they're into then I'm in." Luthien smiled and they started to walk to the entrance of their temple to take a good look at their view but they noticed that the citizens of Elmora looking at them silently. Then they started to play music and the feast began. Luthien and Gelmir walked down the stairs slowly and had a powerful air about them. People bowed down before them and Luthien exclaimed to Gelmir,
"Look! Again, they're on their knees!" Gelmir smiled and said,
"Being worshiped is a breeze!" Then Gelmir and Luthien turned to each other with big eyes and said,
"Hey! That rhymed!" They laughed which caused Luthien to fall down the stairs because of his frantic motions and he brought Gelmir down with him. The music stopped playing and everyone looked as Gelmir and Luthien tried to pathetically stop themselves but they couldn't because Luthien would kick Gelmir in the face with each fall and Luthien is such a lost soul that he did not even know he was making a fool out of himself. Once they finally landed on the ground Gelmir and Luthien stood up and all of the people had the jaws dropped. The two "Gods" nervously laughed and Gelmir said,
"Oh! That was fun! It is great to be back in Elmora!" Once he said that everybody cheered and the feast continued. The feast was amazing. There was food just about everywhere. There was fruit looking luscious and meat that was freshly carved. And there was bowls filled with mead and wine.
"Luthien, take a look over here," Luthien came over by Luthien's side with all the food he could hold and his mouth was filled with juicy watermelon.
"What is it?" Luthien said as globs of watermelon spat out in Gelmir's face. Gelmir just wiped it off and tried not to get angry with Luthien.
"Look at that!" Gelmir pointed to a long table with about five hundred large bowls of wine and mead. Luthien simply dropped all of his food and drifted to the table like he was some kind of phantom. Gelmir followed and they both grabbed a cup and dunked it in one of the bowls and chugged it down. They did this a number of times until they just decided to take the whole bowl and drink it from there.
"This is the best tasting wine I have ever had," Gelmir said as Luthien agreed. The chief over heard them and came over and said,
"Well that is because it is made from the very finest grapes that were plucked from our healthy trees." Gelmir and Luthien screamed for they were startled and turned around to see the chief smiling. Gelmir laughed and said,
"Oh! Chief Moltiko! You gave us a fright!" The chief laughed and Gelmir and Luthien laughed extremely nervously and too loud.
"Well, I guess I will let you to be. And don't hesitate to join a drinking contest, for there will be no chance of you losing to some one else, yes?" Moltiko turned around slowly and walked back into the joyous party. Gelmir and Luthien turned to each other and smiled as Gelmir called out,
"Chief Moltiko?" The large man turned around as Gelmir said,
"Do you know where this drinking contest might be by any chance?"
A/N: Now I have to say this; I was going to have the Elmorians introduce Gelmir and Luthien into marijuana because it would have been hilarious to see how they react to it. But I know that some people would have a fit if I did that so I will ask you now; In the next chapter should Luthien and Gelmir get introduced to marijuana? And I want to let you guys know that I don't do any of that crap so don't worry I just thought it will be funny for the story. Next chapter is Leona and Eragon . . . REVIEW!
