Chapter 2 - News from Rivendell

N: Alert! Sue on the loose.

“ Thiniel! “ she heard someone calling her again.

S: (Someone) I’ve been calling you for over two hours! Answer or I will shoot you!

“ What is it? “, she asked.

“ Hey, we’re looking for you all over the forest! We started to worry tha something happened to you! “ It was Haldir, one of the best friends she had in Lorien.

N: Since he is named in both the book and the movie, he automatically is one of her best friends. S: (Thiniel) ...And you’re my third best friend...

“ Haldir, don’t worry about me! I was just having a private moment.

S: (Thiniel) With my non-existent thoughts.

And what is it that you wanted from me? “

N: (Haldir, darkly) Your life.

“ It’s not like I wanted anything from you, I just wanted to tell you something important! “

N: (Haldir) So listen to me! You’re really starting to get on my nerves.

“ Oh, I see! Quick, tell me what it is! “ she was curious.

“ I have some news from Rivendell! “

N: I am strongly disliking this new formatting.
S: Too many spaces... eyes unfocusing...

“ What is it? Tell me, Haldir! I hate it when you linger something like this! “

“ The ring was in Rivendell more than a month ago! “

S: (Haldir) I learned this from reading Galadriel’s mind.
N: (Haldir) Because I can... uh... do that.

“ What? The One ring? “

“ Yes, the One ring! “

N: (Haldir) What other ring would I mysteriously know about?

“ And where is it now? “, Thiniel asked.

“ Your father sent it to Mordor, there it’s going to be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. But pretend you don’t know that! “

S: (Haldir) Because I don’t actually know this myself.
N: (Haldir) And I didn’t just loudly blurt out top secret information.

“ Hold it, Haldir! I would like the facts one by one, please! “

N: (Thiniel) So I can report to my Orc friends.

“ Oh, sorry! You see, your father formed a fellowship of brave men, each of them representing his race. “

“ How many of them? “

“ Nine. “

N: (Haldir) Not ten. So don’t even think about it.
S: I bet you the last antipasto crackers that she does think about it, and acts on it.
N: You are on.

“ What? Only nine men marsh against The Dark Lord? Is this a joke? “, Thniel was surprised.

N: Your attempt at attacking Dol Guldur was a joke.

“ Well, I thought that too at first, but it really makes sense! They are careful and the enemies don’t know that they exist. A big army is easily to be discovered and destroyed! “

“ You’re right. And who are they? “

N: Okay already. We don't need you to explain Elrond's wisdom.

“ Well, you know the ringbearer, Frodo. “

“ I’ve heard for him. “ N: (Thiniel) I'm his ear.
S: (Thiniel) That’s how I know information I shouldn’t.

“ And then, his hobbit friends, Sam, Merry and Pippin. “

“ So many hobbits?! Elrond ’s insane! “ N: (Thiniel) And I’m still bitter!

“ Now, Thiniel, I’m sur he has his reasons. And then, Gandalf, I don’t have to introduce him, do I? S: (Haldir) Since he’s not here.

“ Of course not. Gandalf is the smartest being in Middle Earth! “

N: (Thiniel) And I’m the dumbest!

“ And the Men are Aragorn, and…” , but he was interrupted.

“ Aragorn! “

Thiniel loved Aragorn very much.

Both: Aaa!

Not in a romantic way,

Both: (whew)

she left that for her sister Arwen. But he was the only one who understood her.

N: (Thiniel) Woe is me.

She was the first Elf he met and he loved her like a sister he never had. He knew her almost his whole life.

“ Aragorn! “, she said one more time “ And? “

“ And Boromir. Do you know him? “

“ He ‘s Denethor’s son? “

S: (Thiniel) I know everything about everyone!
N: Author's whim!

“ Yes. And the Dwarf is Gloin’s son, Gimli. “

“ Those dwarves annoy me! “

N: (Gimli, fingering his axe) I’ll show you annoying, Sue.

“ I know, me too. But that’s your father’s decision. “

“ Whatever. That’s eight, and who’s going to represent us? I bet it’s Glorfindel! “

S: (Thiniel) Glorfindel iz so hott!


“ No, you see that’s what surprised me. It’s an Elf from Mirkwood, Legolas. Do you know him? “

“ Legolas?! “, she was surprised

S: That a porcupine was standing on her head.
N: Go porcupine!

“ I don’t know him, I just met him once.”, but that was a lie.

N: (Thiniel) I stalk him!

She knew him almost more than she knew herself if that was possible.

S: Emphasize the “If”.
N: I called that one too.

But she didn’t want to tell that to Haldir now.

“ They call themselves the Fellowship of the Ring.”

S: J.R.R. Tolkien wrote a book about it.

, Haldir interrupted Thiniel in her thoughts.

“ And they’re going to Mordor, eh? “

“ Yes. But that’s not everything. They should pass through Lothlorien so we have to be ready for them. “

N: (Haldir) So I can pretend we weren’t expecting them and make them go blindfolded through Lorien!

“ Wait! As far as I know, Lorien is not exactly on their way from Rivendell to Mordor.”

“ They cant go through the Gate of Rohan. “

“ Yes, to close to Isengard. “, she agreed. S: (Thiniel) I learned Gandalf’s council by reading his thoughts! Yea me.

“ So, they can cross the Misty Mountains only over Caradhras or through Moria, if they’re crazy. “, Haldir concluded.

“ I just hope they can pass the Caradhras, I mean you never know, in this time of year. “

N: I thought this fic would be more interesting.
S: What in Middle-earth made you think that?
N: The author doesn’t call herself Leggsie_izz_hott? I don’t know.


“ Anyway, they sohuld be here in two days. “

“ That soon? “

“ Yes. That soon. “

N: (Haldir) Honestly Thiniel, you’re dumber than a sack of hammers.

“ Well we should be nice to them, then. I mean, the fate of the world depends on them. “

S: (Thiniel) I’m mean to people who do not have the fate of the world resting on their shoulders.

“ Come on, Thiniel, let’s go to Galadriel and see do we have to do something special for them. “

But Thiniel wasn’t listening to her friend anymore.

S: Not that she ever was.

She thought about the good old times.

N: (Thiniel) I remember when you could get chocolate bars for only a quarter.

She was walking through the forest with her light steps

N: (Thiniel) Come on Light Steps! Come on boy!

and thinking, remembering.

S: (Thiniel) That’s where I left my keys!
N: Well that wraps up another chapter.
S: I can’t do another fifteen of these. Why don’t we just skip to the end?
N: We must be contiguous, or it wouldn’t make sense.
S: ...
N: Er, yes. How about this. We read to the middle, summarize what we’ve read, then continue from there.
S: Okay, and after we’ve done one or two chapters from the middle, we can do the same thing and skip to the end!
N: Excellent.
