Guardians of Middle Earth
Chapter Three
Enter the Wizard
Nickolas the Red smiled at the tiny elves dancing around on his table. The tiny beings were made entirely out of wood and could only move due to magic. Nickolas was a simple wizard, who took joy out of creating things. He would sometimes leave toys on doorsteps for the children of Rohan when times were tough. But now, it was a time of peace. The peace didn't stop Nickolas though, for he still gave children toys from time to time. For now, Nickolas smoke from his pipe, enjoying the calm and pleasant day. Everything was wonderful, for Nickolas at least. Though, he did feel some disturbances, he thought nothing of it, deeming that his belly was just hungry, (for the jolly wizard listen to his belly when it came to troubles). He suddenly heard the flutter of wings and saw a beautiful, majestic falcon.
It must be a letter from the elves. Thought Nickolas.
Only the elves used falcons to deliver messages. They only used hawks if there was a situation that called for immediate and drastic action. And only the woodland elves used that method. Nickolas plucked the parchment from the falcon's leg and read from the scroll. As he read over the parchment, his eyes grew larger and larger with every word. Nickolas threw down the parchment and grabbed his ruby red cloak. It was an important time, and he needed to get to Rivendell at all costs. He grabbed his staff, which looked similar to a 'G'. Nickolas hurried out the door, his heart pounding. He quickly called his horse, a magnificent brown stallion. He scrambled onto the saddle and flicked the reins.
"Hurry Blitzen! Ve must get to Rivendell immediately! No time to waste!"
Both Nickolas and Blitzen sped off, to see why Manfred wanted Nickolas the Red so urgently.
Turned out a lot shorter then I thought. And I'm sorry that this update took a while. School's been driving me up the wall and I've been unable to work on this. The next chapter will for sure be longer. We're moving onto Tooth and Bunny.
