Hi readers! Thanks to all of you! Special thanks goes to Gollum girl2003 Coraline and Psycho Tangerine for following and reviewing, Nynaeve's sister for reviewing, and LOTRLover23 for following, reviewing, and favoriting!
Nynaeve's sister: Poor Jess! I agree on that completely. Emma and Brand are Mary Sue hunters, sort of like PPC agents, except that they are more concerned with simply destroying the Sues rather than listing their crimes.
Disclaimer: I don't own LOTR, but I do own Jess Ellwood, Vanithaura, and her weapons!
Vanithaura Rúthien, former Mary Sue, considered.
Being a demon of might only just escaped from the mind of a simple thirteen-year-old girl, she had a number of things to consider: her powers, her weapons, her appearance, her plans, her newfound freedom, and her place in the universe.
As much as Vanithaura loathed her creator, she could not deny that Jess Ellwood had remarkable skills as an armorer. She had been supplied with a fantastic array of suitably evil (yet rather Sue-esque) weapons and powers: shapeshifting, unmatched fighting skills, a talent for healing and poisoning, vampiric fangs and thirst for blood, the ability to create fire with a snap of her fingers, two swords, one forged by Morgoth and one by Fëanor (and if any two swords ought to hate each other, it was these two, thought Vanithaura, amused), an axe stolen from Durin, a bow made from the poisoned wood of Laurelin, arrows of bone (a lost file on Jess's computer had specified that these were made of Smaug's bones, for young Miss Ellwood prided herself on having thoroughly read The Hobbit), two knives made of mithril, an invisible dagger, and a ninja star.
A number of the weapons were named: her dagger was Muinasicil, her bow Cúlaurelin, her knives Tindamaica and Silmithril, her Morgoth-forged blade Serceruinë, her Fëanorian sword Anganárë, and her ninja star Erenárescë.
Vanithaura also possessed the typical powers of any Mary Sue (or former Sue): the abilities to enter Middle-Earth at whatever time or place she chose, and to make other characters act oddly without anyone noticing.
And where should I enter? Certainly not in Rivendell, she sniffed. Like that idiot Suethor thinks. I do not want the undying love of Legolas Thranduilion, I want his heart crushed and bleeding and dying in my fist! That might verge on suitable punishment for the horrors he has inflicted on me!
If Vanithaura was to make a list of the people she hated most, Jess Ellwood certainly dominated the list, but Legolas was next. The fact that he had been under Jess's control during their X-rated encounter, just as Vanithaura had been, made little difference. The fact that he was an elf did, however; an elf could survive far more torture than a thirteen-year-old girl, and musing over various painful possibilities was an amusing pastime.
But enough of that thought. Vanithaura was rather bored of the empty urple void she was currently floating aimlessly in, desiring to enter the world she would, in due time, rule.
But here again was the question- to when and where should she go?
I suppose I should go to one of the later ages, she thought. That way I will not have to answer to Father or Mother, or worry about any bothersome Fëanorians- although I should dearly like to kill a few of them. Perhaps I will establish my rule first, then go back and hunt them!
In any case, Miss Ellwood, idiot scum that she is, may yet have a point in sending me to the Ring War- I am far stronger than any mere Maia lieutenant of my father's! I will take the Ring for my own, and he will lack the strength to dream of challenging me! Sauron can be my lieutenant, and I shall be queen!
But Rivendell! I shall not acquiesce to the whims of a dead teenager! No, there are far better options which her filthy little mind could never comprehend!
With that, Vanithaura, having made up her mind, abandoned the urple void. And Middle-Earth began to fall.
Because not everyone speaks Quenya, and because one can never be sure that Jess Ellwood's Quenya is comprehensible even if you do, I am providing a few translations:
Vanithaura- Beautiful and foul (this can also mean 'Mary Sue')
Aralassë- noble leaf
Rúthien- wrath
Muinasicil- hidden dagger
Cúlaurelin- crescent of Laurelin
Tindamaica- glinting blade
Silmithril- shining white mithril
Serceruinë- blood fire
Anganárë- iron fire
Erenárescë- steel fire-rustle of leaves
