Writewraiths in Middle Earth

[Lubyla]

"Quite unusual. The most is the Ent. Who are you sir ent, and yes I do need to be Hasty."

[Silverstripe]

"Well, he's probably still kind of dazed that we're calling him an ent; he is from Mundane Earth, remember, where they -- we -- all thought ents weren't real."

[Lubyla]

"It's true. But you always kinda had a feeling..."

[Silverstripe]

"Yeah, but we couldn't tell anyone that, could we? We'd just get teased about it. But now we know we're right." I sighed. "Before, I would've said we shouldn't be having this conversation aloud -- but unfortunately, our presence is no longer secret. He's known we were here since Faith, um, linked herself to Buddy."

[Fred Baggins]

I began to clean some of the blood stains off of Buddy's fur while riding him. I wasn't to sure what else to do. I felt as though this whole thing had been my fault. bothersome warg. I looked over to Calien, she was talking to Starletta, though I couldn't hear what about. Me probably, and my stupidity. Ah well, I guess no one's perfect. Buddy looked up to me and whispered.

"Will you stop humming please? It's getting annoying."

I looked at him puzzled. Then I relized I must have been doing it again. Aunty always yelled at me when I did that. I wouldn't mind hearing her yelling again right now. I sighed. Buddy growled a little.

"I mean it! It's really getting annoying." I laughed.

"Get used to it. It could be a very long time before I get out of that habbit."

[Lubyla]

"It is true. He has been watching us every since, even before."

"Who?"

[Fred Baggins]

Buddy shut up. I relaxed. I relized I still carried the staff, and I looked at it. It looked very familar, like a walking stick I used to have back home with my name and b-day engraved on it. In fact the only dif was this had added to my name...Faith the Blue. Blue I thought seemed very strange if it was Gandalfs powers I held would it not be the Grey? I puzzled over this until Buddy spoke up again.

"Well if you won't stop humming, do it a bit quieter at least, so you can hear when your name is being called" I looked up to see who had called me.

*the anthro knew of a woman who would help Faith remember. He knocked on her door, and she came out. She looked like a witch, for she wore black and had grey hair, though the wart on her nose was missing. She listened to his plea, and cackled out a question about payment. The anthro brought out a small bag, and emptyed it into his hand. The old woman got mad, shouting about the magic is what she wanted, the magic! The anthro reluctantly drew out of his pocket his prized poession, a microchip. The woman snatched it and agreed.*

I looked up to see the annoying anthro and an old woman. "What do you want?" I found myself snapping the woman...who looked a lot like a witch...spoke up.

"Now Faith dearest, is that anyway to speack to your and his friend?" We talked awhile, long and low. Her voice was silky and convincing, bringing back many memories of my brother. I looked at the anthro. "You really ARE my bro arn't you?"

*The brain locked deep inside buddys, watched all this from far away, thinking. He'd have to get after that old woman, pay her well. She could help him, she could convince Faith for sure. If he could have he would have smiled. He would have his revenge on Calein.*

[Lubyla]

I looked back to see Faith, the Anthro, and an old lady."Who is that?"

Looks back "I dont know. Do not bother them though, I feel hostility between the warg."

[Silverstripe]

I winced. Suddenly, I could sense the presence of the "Snakesnout" part of my brother Mauluk, Faith's warg Buddy. But though I knew he was plotting something, I had no idea exactly WHAT he intended to do.

[Fred Baggins]

I glanced back at Calien. Then to Freddy. "Are-are you a writewraith then?"

Freddy smiled, and the old lady turned to leave. Buddy caught her before she left, and I figured they where freidns or something. "No, I do't even kow what a writewraith is."

"Then how did you get here?"

"That, is a very long story. Plus I don't feel like getting yelled at right now. Wanna come over to my tree house?"

"Can't sorry I've buisness to attend to, but I'm sure we will meet again someday."

"O. Allright then. Someday, of course. Then I suppose I will see you later."

[Lubyla]

"What do you think they are talking about?"

"I am not sure, I do not read minds."

[Silverstripe]

"I don't know what they're saying, but I do know this: Snakesnout is planning something. Be on your guard. For though he can never again act against the Kin, he's still dangerous."

[Adrian Baggins]

Finally I got used to the horse I had been given. I had been saying his name over and over in my head. He looked just like Sun Chaser so rembering his name was Relladren was kind of hard but I finally had it. I urged Relladren to go faster, and faster he went. I was happy. I loved doing this. I was for a few moments back at Camp Ravenwing Being The Hobbit, which was my camp nickname, and I was riding Sun Chaser. Then reality hit me. I wasn't at camp, I was a shifter, and Sun Chaser was dead. He had died the week before I left camp last year. I was sad now. Nothing, not even Swift could cheer me for a while. Not yet.

[Silverstripe]

I buried my face in Anmara's mane to hide my tears. O, Mauluk, my brother, why did you choose this path? Of all the Kin, he had been the closest to me, and the one I trusted most. But that was before my time in Mundane Earth, before I learned what he was REALLY like.

Hunter looked at the traitor Snakesnout; his contempt for the scum he had once called brother would never fade.

You are a fool, Snake. For you were Rraella's advisor before you left, and had nearly persuaded her to step down and let you lead. You were too greedy to continue to be her closest confidante: you had to challenge Rraella openly.

He was glad Snake had not been wise enough to see, or sense, how easily Calien might have been persuaded to yield the leadership of the Kin to her "eldest brother." For Snakesnout was unfit to lead the Kin; unfit even to live.

Rraellia, my sister, you are far more merciful than I would ever have been.

Yet that was one of the reasons she had been chosen to lead. He remembered vividly the day of the choosing, how the contest had finally come down to two: strangely enough, the eldest and the youngest of their Kin.

They had seemed nearly equal in power and intelligence, though Mauluk was by far the wiser of the two.

Hunter remembered all the arguments that day; how some of the Kin backed Mauluk for his wisdom and his seniority, and others backed Rraella, for her kindness. Even then, many had sensed the biggest contrast between the eldest and the youngest.

Mauluk, wise, cunning, and cruel -- and Rraella, somewhat naive, but just and compassionate.

Thus, the Kin had chosen Rraella to lead them. Yes, it had been very close, and the Kin had taken longer to make a decision than they EVER had on any issue, but in the end, it was Rraella, not Mauluk, who had become the chosen leader of her people.

And Snakesnout will never forgive her for that.

He looked at his youngest sister, who had finally come into her own, and thought again of how deeply Snake had erred!

[zavron]

I thought it was time I spoke up!
'' I am called, well my ent carachter is called BarkBrows. I am an ent that is peace loving and cannot stand the mistreating of any life except for fellers of Trees like Orcs!! Boora RUM!!!'' I said to my surprise. I felt anger that the trees were being feld and a sheer hatred towards Orcs.

[Silverstripe]

I smiled. "Very good, we will call you BarkBrows. But what were you called before you came here? I was called Katharine Welsh."

[zavron]

''I was called David McCartney...Is called'' I said.

[Lubyla]

"The ent speeks. I am Princess Lubyla Greenleaf of the Stars. I have no name of your old world, for i am of here."

[Silverstripe]

"David McCartney? Hmmm, I think I've heard that name before. This must be what you're really supposed to look like, then. And you already know who we are."

[Fred Baggins]

I stepped up, after Freddy left, unaware of the tear still trickling down my cheak.

"And I am Faith Lowe, I have no different name hear, unless you where to call me Faith the Blue...I think." I tried to laugh.

*The warg laughed a little* "You have another name, even if you won't find it out for awhile. We all have several different names, especially travelers." *He turned to Calien, Buddy, and Danger no more. A compasion was in his eyes.* "Right?"

I could tell by his woeful face he had no other position here. No one would bother to be kind to him. He had but one friend. I wept inwardly for him. I looked at him puzzled, but decided not to bother about the name thing right now.
