Part Two
CHAPTER 14 – EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR: HEALING HOUSE
Sam watched from one of the housing courts, as Frodo sat down on a bench. He noticed Frodo's wounds were healing well. Sam's thoughts were intervened by Merry and Pippin, who looked in wonder.
"He looks distressed," said Merry.
"Well, at least Aria's here now. I'm sure she'll find a way to cheer him up," said Pippin.
"I don't know Master Merry, Mister Pippin. Frodo was happier when he was with Miss Aria. However, Miss Aria seems changed," said Sam.
"I'm sure she's going through a phase right now. She'll be fine after a while," said Merry.
"One of us should talk to them," said Pippin.
"I'll see to Master Frodo," said Sam.
"I'll go check on Aria," said Merry.
Pippin looked around, but saw he was alone. "Now, what do I do?"
As Pippin went off to search for something to do, Sam approached Frodo. Merry went inside the healing house to find Aria. Frodo did not look in the mood to talk.
"Master Frodo," said Sam.
"Sam, what a surprise to see you," said Frodo.
"Why aren't you inside with Miss Aria?" asked Sam.
"Why do you bother asking me this?" asked Frodo, stiff-necked.
"Master Frodo," said Sam, sitting on a chair next to him. "If something is wrong, you can always tell me. I'll do my best to understand."
"Aria's fallen out of love for me. I thought she was the one, but now I can't be sure," said Frodo.
"Why Master Frodo, you did travel to Earth to spend time with her. You know you haven't stopped talking about her. How can you say you're not sure she's the one?" asked Sam.
"Because two stones plunged that day, when she was eighteen. It was a shock that Aria finally told me something I was bound to forget and let it sink back to the past. I'd long forgotten about that, but I guess Aria didn't," said Frodo. "Maybe she is the one for me… I don't know." He added, "I made her a deal. We would travel to the Wall of Memory when we're healed."
"If you're certain that's what you plan on doing," said Sam.
"If it'll help bring her memories back, the ones she's lost, then sure," said Frodo.
"I beggin' your pardon, sir, but I would like to travel with you," said Sam.
"Oh Sam, we can decide that once I'm better and my wounds are healed," said Frodo.
"Those flowers cut you pretty deep, didn't they?" asked Sam, concerned.
Frodo nodded. "They cut Aria just as bad. Do you think she'll recover?"
"I hope so. We have nothing but hope." Sam suggested, "Let Aria get to know you."
"She knows me in general, Sam," said Frodo.
"Master Frodo, show her who you really are: your personality, your flaws. It'll be worth it if she sees that side of you. I know Rosie still sees me differently. She's still getting to know me," said Sam.
Frodo said, calming down, "Thank you, Sam. I've already seen enough of Aria to know her well. I guess I've been one-sided in this."
"You're welcome," said Sam.
o-o-o
Merry found Aria in the dining room. He sat down at the table across from her. Aria looked distressed. "Did Frodo send you here?"
"Can't we just talk? Last time we spoke, you yelled at me," said Merry.
"Now I'm apologizing for it. I'm sorry, truly I am," said Aria.
"You're forgiven," said Merry. "But no, Frodo didn't send me." He asked, "Did you two have a spat?"
Aria paused. "I hurt him, when I spoke to him a few minutes ago."
"Frodo doesn't want to relive the past, Aria," said Merry.
"Why not? You have to learn from your past, if you want to better understand the future. It's unwise to ignore the past. Bad things happen," said Aria.
"I know that. Have you let him in at all?" asked Merry.
"What do you mean?" asked Aria.
"Since the incident, have you recovered?" asked Merry.
"I have and in all that time, I still don't know Frodo that well and I'm sure he doesn't know me as well as he thinks," said Aria. "He's so pessimistic."
"Yes, well that's Frodo for you. He can't help it," said Merry. "You have some of that pessimistic behavior as well."
"How do you know that?" asked Aria.
"You've picked that up from him, haven't you?" asked Merry.
"No. It's something that's me. I can't help it if I think in the worst-case scenario. My worry expectations are usually higher than the situation," said Aria.
Merry shook his head. "You and Frodo are certainly a match."
"Well, Frodo needs to stop thinking he can ignore the past," said Aria.
"Right, and you're going to help him," said Merry.
"How? He made a deal with me that if I got my memories back, I can return home," said Aria.
"Yes, but is going back going to help you resolve your pain? Did you feel at all like you had family there?" asked Merry.
"Sure and I care about them," said Aria.
"You didn't say love, Aria," said Merry.
"Look, you're not my dad," said Aria. "Even if you were my father, you haven't been there when I needed you. If you wanted to know why I was yelling, then there's your reason."
"You really don't understand at all how much it's taken for us to finally find you. How can you say I'm not your father? I was like that before. I raised you. You are my daughter," said Merry.
"Listen, I'm sorry if I've been a burden," said Aria.
Merry grabbed her hand. "Aria, you are not a burden. I don't know what you went through to become like this, cynical and pessimistic, but you need to know you're not alone. Frodo cares about you, as do I. How often have you heard those words, or the words 'I love you'?"
Aria sat stunned.
"I'll take that as none," said Merry.
"My family didn't really say it, but they didn't have to," said Aria.
"Why are you hiding behind a curtain, Aria? You know the truth as well as I. Your mother cares about you, you know, as does your brother Periadoc or Perry for short," said Merry. "We need you, Aria. We brought you here so you could see reason, to know that you're part of a group that doesn't abandon each other, who openly admits their love, whether in friendship or in relationship. We need you here, now. There's a prophecy on you."
"Yes, I am aware there's a prophecy. But I don't know how to help you." Aria stood up. "I'm sorry, but you may have the wrong person." She stormed out of the diner, leaving in a bewildered state.
Merry rested his back against the back of the chair. He looked stunned. "Well I'll be."
CHAPTER 15 – HOUSING COURT/CHAMBER ONE EXTENDED SCENE
"We both look the same," said Ronnie.
Merry knocked on the wood of the open door. He got Frodo's attention, by telling him, "Frodo, we're waiting for you to come."
"You'll have to excuse me, gentle-hobbits," said Frodo, following Merry out of the room.
Ronnie waited until after Frodo was gone, before turning to Elijah. "Well, we'll see who's right about us." As he stood up, a thought came to him. "I've got an idea: let's ask the ones responsible for messing us up."
Elijah shook his head. "Ronnie, I think it's obvious who's who."
"How do you know I'm Ronnie? I could be Elijah, the best gamer in the world," said Ronnie.
"Yeah. It's too bad you don't play many games as you used to," said Elijah.
Ronnie gave Elijah an odd expression. "Well, how is it you can tell us apart?"
"Let's just watch the rest of the tape, all right? We can question you later about your confusion antics," said Elijah, as he un-paused the tape.
" 'So, what are we going to call the baby dragon-like creature?' asked Father Time.
'It's a dragonoid, and I've already thought of a name: Parker Dooley,' said Ilsa.
'I didn't know we were already giving them last names,' said Father Time.
'Well, there's this family of dragonoids that wants to adopt him. It might do Parker some good to be with his own kind,' said Ilsa."
Ilsa entered the room, alarming the two hobbit Nobodies, "Looking at old videos?"
"Ilsa, can you tell me and what's his name apart? We're having trouble with it," said Ronnie.
Elijah glared at Ronnie. "I have a name. It's Elijah."
"I could check your palms," said Ilsa.
"No!" cried Ronnie and Elijah in angst.
Ilsa thought for a moment. "Well, I'm sure there's another way to tell you two apart."
"Good," said Ronnie, relieved. "How are you going to do that?"
"Like this," said Ilsa, pulling out some hair from the back of Ronnie's head.
"Ow!" cried Ronnie. As he massaged the back of his head, he told Ilsa, "For a woman who's an Ice Guardian, you're sure on fire."
"I'm a Frost Guardian, Ronnie," said Ilsa, serious. "Let's see what we can do."
Ilsa blew on the hair in her hand, causing the hair to float in the air. As each strand of hair glowed a bright gold, images appeared in a circular space in the air, as if tearing at the air itself. The moving images were of Ronnie and his life thus far. Ilsa looked at Ronnie and Elijah, who were both stunned to see the images. When the images stopped, the hair fell to the floor in a lifeless heap.
Ilsa looked pleased with herself. She told Ronnie, flat out, "See? You are Ronnie."
"Then who's he?" asked Ronnie, pointing to Elijah.
Ilsa turned to Elijah and told him, "Shall we find out who you are?'
"Uh… no thanks," said Elijah, raising a hand. "I already know who I am, and that should solve our current dilemma."
"Well, Elijah, if you weren't you, then you would be…"
Elijah stopped Ronnie. "Ronnie, I think I understand."
Ilsa left the room, but not before she blew frozen air at Ronnie and the back of Elijah's head.
CHAPTER 16 – CAR RIDE/ARIA'S POV
"So, I've been working on this new fanfiction story," I decided to start a conversation. "It's a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' story. It's the same one I was working on previously." I knew then I had embarrassed myself.
"It's not the same story where I'm tagging alongside Jack Sparrow," Frodo said, appalled.
"So Frodo, do you have a job?" asked my dad.
"Nope, but I am rich, with thanks from my uncle," Frodo said.
"You don't work at all?" asked my dad. He glanced at me once with a concerned look.
"I haven't found anything I wish to do." Frodo remembered, "Although, I did serve as Deputy Mayor for a time. I have considered doing it, but politics aren't for me. My friend Sam thinks I should do something to help our country, but I'm not of his opinion."
"You were a Deputy Mayor? I'm sorry. I don't know your story as well as Aria," said my dad.
"Yes, well Aria is my fan. So she must know a lot about me," said Frodo, looking at me now.
"Only the general stuff," I said, still embarrassed.
"Are you going to try for Deputy Mayor again, Frodo?" asked my dad.
"I might or I might not. I'm not sure if it's in my future," said Frodo.
"Oh," said my dad. He glanced at me again.
I knew then I had been cornered, but what could I do? To save whatever dignity I still had, I looked out the window. Frodo was at least lucky he could make a living, but the way he talked sounded an awful lot like how I felt about a job. I wondered if that was in my future, but then being with Frodo almost sounded like an easy way out… or maybe it wasn't. I couldn't tell for sure.
CHAPTER 19 – NEAR THE KETTERWOLD FOREST
As the four titans walked, they approached a cornerstone. They were going to raise Cronos from the seas of Tartarus, but knew they weren't anywhere near the place. In fact, they were nowhere near Earth. The plan seemed reckless, yet the titans weren't smart enough to realize they were in a limbo world. Hades came to them from a black chariot, driven by black flying horses.
"Brothers, Titans. What are you doing?" called Hades.
"We're going to release Cronos," said the ice titan Hydros.
"You know you're in the wrong place, right?" asked Hades.
"This is near Tartarus," said Pyros, the lava titan.
Hades clasped a hand to his face, shaking his head in dismay. "Guys, look, I don't mean to pry you away from your task, but Tartarus is back on Earth. Say, how did you four land in this limbo world?"
"Hercules," said Hydros.
"I see," said Hades, remembering when Hercules had 'destroyed' the four titans. "And what are you doing here?"
"This is Cronos' cornerstone," said Lykos, the rock titan. "There's a message written on it."
"Let me see," said Hades, drawing his chariot closer to the stone. Yes, he could see the message written plainly in Greek writing. In English, the writing read as this:
Here in Lies
The Remnants for Bringing Power
To Your Cause.
Best Regards, Cronos
"Power? Now that's what I'm talking about," said Hades.
Hades pressed his hand on the stone. A jet of green lightning surrounded Hades, engulfing him and making feel powerful. The second his hand moved away from the stone, the green lightning continued until it stopped. Hades cackled in excitement.
"I feel POWERFUL!" said Hades, throwing his hands in the air. As he did, the green lightning shot up to the clouds, causing dark clouds to surround the air above Hades.
The titans were confused.
The tornado titan Stratos asked, "Is that stone supposed to do that?"
Hades called to the titans, "Come with me, titans. It's time to awaken Kronos."
"Yes Hades," said the four titans in unison.
One by one, the titans followed Hades through a massive green portal. Katrina looked out from a balcony at Glamïre, as she witnessed the titans pass through the portal. It explained the earthquakes all right.
CHAPTER 21 – HALL OF WONDERS
A strange rumor spread that week of the Nobodies being auctioned off to the Elves, Dwarves, and anyone who had enough money to spare. The auction took place in the middle of the week at Glamïre. Not everyone was happy about it, which included Ronnie. He nearly backed out of it until he was dragged by Elijah and Katrina into the Hall of Wonders. Ronnie complained as he made his way up onto the stage. The auctioneer's voice annoyed him most.
"Who wants to bid on this fine Nobody?" asked the auctioneer to the crowd. When no one responded, the auctioneer said, "Come on, folks. This Nobody's a hacker and a fine gamer."
"You wish he was," said Elijah, chuckling.
"Technically, I was forced to come here. So, I'll be leaving now," said Ronnie, about to make his escape. Ronnie saw Katrina's look and returned to the stage.
The auctioneer heard bids throughout the room. Ronnie noticed Frodo and Aria were there, but where Aria looked tired Frodo looked frustrated. Eventually, the final bid came from an elderly couple, which stunned Ronnie. Ronnie left the stage, hearing chuckles from various dwarves. Gimli was stopped by Legolas, who gave him a sharp look.
Then it was Elijah's turn. Elijah nearly backed out, but thanks to encouragement from Katrina he stepped onto the stage. There were bids all around, until Frodo beat them all. Aria was stunned when she realized he had the highest bid. Elijah right away joined the two at their table.
"Thank you. I could have ended up with an elderly couple like Ronnie, not that I would mind," said Elijah, sitting down.
Frodo explained, "Look, I only did that for Aria's sake. You're her friend after all, aren't you?"
Aria said, "Only by thought… at least for a time."
"Ouch," said Elijah. He said a moment later, "Oh well. Looks like we start anew."
"It looks like it," said Aria. She murmured to Frodo, "He's more excitable than I remember."
Frodo whispered back, "Look, I'm sure it'll be all right."
Elijah announced, "So, what are we having?" He held up the menu, unaware how stunned and confused Aria and Frodo were. Eventually, they had a decent conversation with him.
CHAPTER 23 – FERAL MOUNTAINS/MEMORY TASK (FRODO AND ARIA)
After the Fellowship memory passed, Frodo and Aria crossed the antechamber. They stopped at the second memory, which revealed the second Fellowship, who appeared to be at their campsite, debating their next move.
"We really should head for the Merswold Camp now," said Harry Potter.
"Patience Harry. You wizards should have learned that years ago," said Katrina, who was then Coral.
"Yeah right. You probably don't understand wizardry," said Harry.
"I've never learned to try it," said Coral, sneering at him.
"Well, we should decide something," said Harry.
"There's the village of Prevale. We could stop there to rest and regroup," said Anakin Skywalker.
"We won't be getting anywhere until we make a decision," said Edmund. "As Frodo's still in our group, we should ask him what to do."
Gurgi clapped his hands. "Ooh, ooh, Gurgi knows what to do. You should ask Gurgi."
"Not now, Gurgi," said Mumble.
"Can I talk for a moment?" asked Jack Sparrow.
"No," said most of the Fellowship in unison.
Jack shrugged. "Oh well, it's your loss."
"Wait, what was Jack going to say?" asked Frodo.
"I can't believe this was the second Fellowship," said Aria, impressed.
"That's the problem with you. You don't believe enough," said Frodo.
"Well, I was going to say, and in my most preposterous matter. The villains are going to attack either way. I say we find enough rum and settle matters there," said Jack.
"Oh please. Does rum solve everything in your mind?" asked Coral.
"It certainly does for this occasion," said Jack.
"Well, I have something to say," said Kovu, standing up for himself. "As the future king of the Pridelands, we need to act now if we're going to reach Merswold. What does Frodo have in mind in our dire situation?"
"This is when the stars were falling from the night sky. I heard the same problem occurred with King Mickey," said Frodo. "This is another memory."
"We seem to be picking up on those here." Aria added fast, "Do you mean Mickey Mouse from 'Kingdom Hearts'? I think that's where the stars disappearing came from, too."
"Either way, this is where I decided whether to agree to follow the group. If I had stayed with them, instead of wander off on my own, things might have turned out differently," said Frodo.
"You would have stayed with us, Frodo," said Coral. "We said we could protect you, since the villains claim you as their biggest target, next to Aria."
"Yes, but what followed was, if I had stayed with you lot, I may not have proven to myself that I could handle being on my own during a quest. I know you meant so much to me, but my journey was heading elsewhere." Frodo said in realization, "I guess I had to prove myself on how much I could handle a situation on my own, even without Sam. Sam was a big help during the first journey, but he wasn't going to prove helpful during these next quests," Frodo looked at Aria then, "or find my way to protect you."
"I don't always need protection, Frodo," said Aria.
"You say that now," said Frodo.
"Frodo, I have to prove I can handle things without help. I just need guidance on how to be an adult. I hope you can understand that," said Aria.
"I'll think about it," said Frodo.
"I hope so," said Aria.
Frodo looked at the memory of the second Fellowship. "Listen, you were all a huge help getting to Merswold."
"No we weren't," said Coral. "We made a rescue party in order to find you, but instead we lost Anakin." She saw Anakin moving into the shadows.
"Where are you going, Anakin?" asked Frodo. He stopped to think. "Maybe he was supposed to go."
"Yes, that's why he left," said Coral. "I told you there would be a betrayal."
"I could just as easily use magic to pull him back," said Harry.
"Or maybe not all wizards are good. That betrayal could have meant more than one person, Coral," said Frodo.
"You know my name is Katrina now," said Coral.
"I know, but here I remember you as Coral, who you were before you went back to being evil and following your elder sister Scar-ra," said Frodo. "The truth is that I have to learn to survive without companions around, but also how I can handle myself around women. It seems I have a lot left to learn after all."
"Then we're not needed here anymore," said Coral.
"Wait. Does this mean…"
"Yes Edmund, it does," said Coral.
Edmund looked at Aria, waving to her. "Hello Aria."
"Hello Edmund," said Aria. She turned to Frodo, "Say, what happened to Edmund?"
"I think we both know his fate," said Frodo. "He's not here anymore."
"Oh," said Aria.
The two watched as the memory of Frodo's second Fellowship faded. They were alone again, ready to head onto the next memory, which was Aria's memory of ValueMyHeart and SweetDarkSilence.
