Clash Of Worlds

Chapter 3

Sibria grins. "Did the time leap actually choose a destination for us?"

Rowena shook her head "that's never really happened before. I'm getting a bad feeling..." she said nervously.

Sibria frowns thoughtfully. And then she remembers. "Uh, oh." She whispers as she starts to remember something right before they went through the portal. Sibria grimaces when she remembers she brought up Middle Earth. "Ummm, Rowena, is there any way you can choose a different destination? Even when a destination is already chosen?"

Rowena glances behind and shakes her head "no. You pick one and thats that. No give.backs" she explained

Sibria grimaces. "I think I know where we are going then . . . and you're not going to like it. Please forgive me! It was none of my intention! I . . . I . . ." She struggles to explain herself. She feels tears sting her eyes when she notices a door appear in front of them. She glances at Rowena. "Forgive me, my friend. I beg of you. I didn't mean for this to happen."

Rowena looked at her in confusion until she felt herself fall "what the!? Where did Falkor go!?" she screamed. Sibria screamed and held Rowena's waist tightly as they fell through the door.

Sibria knows what she must do now. She must protect her friend at all costs. She knows she has to make up for the mistake. Out of the corner of her eye, she notices mountains and trees, lots of trees. Sibria smiles. Her tension lightens. "Wow." She whispers and then she remembers she's falling again, right on top of . . . a troll? She finds it humorous for some reason, until she realizes, these trolls are NOT friendly.

"what the!? What fell on me!?"

"Owch! There's another one!"

Rowena sat up, spitting out the leaves that got caught in her mouth. She looked up at the trolls and felt her stomach drop "yikes!" she squealed.

Sibria looks at Rowena, and then she notices a bunch of men in sacks. She frowns and then comes back to the moment. Not realizing she morphed into a tiger.

"t-t-t tiger!" a little man squealed as he fell on his back. The trolls growled and swiped at Sibria but she dodged them and morphed back into human form. She looked at Rowena "now would be a good time to use that magic of yours!" she squeaked.
Rowena nodded and concentrated on her magic. She rose into the air and kicked a troll in the nose. She swooped over head and kicked one in the eye making them sequel in pain.

"Lass! Can ye help us Ower her!?" a man called from the fire.

Sibria runs to the fire and throws a cauldron of liquid over the flame to put it out

She figures it was the trolls bad dinner until they found the dwarves. She tries to help the man by untying the ropes and get out of his sack. "How in the world did all of you get captured at once?"

"no time for that lass! Just get us out of this!" a big dwarf man growled.

A yelp caught Sibria's attention making her look up to see Rowena being held upside down "I'm gonna be a while." she grunted

Sibria nodded "sock it to em girl" she.smirked. Rowena grinned and kicked the trolls hand with her heels causing them to drop her. She back flipped and landed.on her feet "I hate trolls" she growled as she waved her hand. A sword appeared in her grasp. She twirled it and swung at the giants feet as Sibria fumbled with the knots of the dwarves over the fire.

Sibria has a hard time with the knots, they are very tight. And then she notices the dwarves swords. She runs over and grabs a sword. She starts to cut the rope, very pleased with herself as she did. "I wish I would have found those swords sooner." She little by little helped the men get out of their sacks. glancing at Rowena once in a while. Then she thought of something Rowena had told her long ago. "Rowena aren't they scared of light?" Just then she hears a voice. "The dawn will take you all!" A big light flashes toward the trolls. Sibria cover her eyes a bit from the blinding light and notices a man on a rock. She looks back and notices the trolls turn to stone. Sibria smiles.

The tall man in grey stepped down from the rock as the dwarves re dressed themselves "you've been quite a big help my dear. What is your name? ' he asks

Sibria grins. "My name is Sibria. What is your name?"

"I am Gandalf the Grey." Gandalf chuckles. Clearly amused by Sibria's personality.

"Gandalf." She whispers. She remembered Rowena bring that name up before. "It's lovely to meet you, Gandalf. Sibria then remembers Rowena. "Rowena! Where are you?" She runs toward where she last saw her best friend. She saw her fly off of a troll right before they turned into stone.

"Help!" she heard her cry. Sibria saw her flailing legs in some.bushes as two young dwarves helped her out. Rowena shook the leaves from her hair and huffed "Thanks" she breathed.

Sibria lets out a sigh of relief and hugs her friend. "I'm so glad you're okay." She pulls away. "Wow, now that's a way to start when going into a world." She giggles. "Just what I needed." She then glances at the men all around her. "Ummm, whose sword does this belong to?" She holds it up a little for the dwarves to see.

One of the men steps forward. "That would be mine." He smiles when Sibria gives him the sword.

"Thank you for letting me use it . . . What's your name?" Sibria asks happily. She is happy to be around new people.

"I am, Kili." Kili chuckles.

Sibria smiles until Gandalf spoke up "Rowena? Is that you my dear?" he asked.

Rowena froze in her spot, finally noticing the old man "oh hell no..." she gasped.

"Gandalf is that..." balin began.

Gandalf nodded "it is indeed. The sixth wizard of.middle earth. Also known as the The madam red" he said with a smile. Rowena did not smile however. She looked around her and growled "I.am.in.hell" she muttered.

Sibria feels awful. "Rowena, I . . . I kind of am the reason why we are here. I'm so sorry." Sibria goes to hug Rowena. Trying to break Rowena's tension.

Rowena steps away from her "you.might want to stay clear of.me.right now." she growled.

Sibria cowers away from Rowena. Clearly taken off guard. "It was not my intention." She whispers.

"now now Rowena let's not be like this you are home! It is good is it not?" gandalf asked.

The young wizard shook her head "no! I was avoiding coming here! I hate it here! You.know that old man!..." she yelled. They were silent for a.moment before she sighed and hugged him " I have missed you.though" she muttered in his cloak. Basking in the smell of pine and smoke.

Gandalf smiled and returned the hug "and I you my dear"

"would you mind telling.me why two women have fallen out of the sky, Gandalf, and why they are here?" a deep voice growled.

Rowena turned and felt her heart quicken. Before her stood a dwarf that screamed royalty with the fancy furs. He had black hair and striking blue eyes.

He looked her up and down slightly, admiring to himself she was indeed beautiful. ""I am Thorin Oakenshield. Now how did you.come to fall out of the sky?"
