Tess short's Story chapter 14


If you haven't read the other chapters you can read them here

Chapter 14: The Magic Shop


Finn opened his eyes to find he was lying on a cold stone floor, he got up. but couldn’t help falling back down again. he looked around His friends where nowhere in sight. Had the orcs caught them? he tried not to think of the worse, he tried to stand up again this time, he managed to stand up but was wobbling his legs felt like jelly, the thought of Jelly made him hungry, but he shook the thought out of his head. he looked around, he had appeared to be in a small broom closet there where brooms propped up angst the wall, a few cobwebs hung down. It looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned, he leaned himself angst the wall. trying not to fall over, the world was still spinning, he was sure after this he would never use a portal .He tried to walk out of the closet but couldn’t move without falling down, he peered over the door. he heard voices, but could not make out what they where saying. suddenly he felt a warm hand on his shoulder. 
before he could say anything the voice spoke 
“Now what brings you to my magic shop?” asked the voice. 
“I..I..” began Finn.
 “Oh come sit down.” said the voice, Finn looked up. It was a man with a long gray beard, his robes where scarlet red, his eyes where a warm brown.  Finn was led to wooden seats, with cushions on them, Finn collapsed onto one. “Would you like some tea?” asked the wizard. 
 “Y-yes” said Finn. The wizard poured Finn and Himself a cup of tea, and took a seat next to Finn.
“What’s your name?” asked the wizard. 

“f-Finn S-short” said Finn his voice was still shaking. 

“Now anyway Finn, how did you stumble upon my shop?” he asked. 

Finn only managed to say one word “Portal”. 

“Ah…” said the wizard. “Portal travel can be like a long journey for some people and for others a short walk”. 

Finn nodded. “Expect in long journeys you don’t end up feeling dizzy….” added the wizard, taking a sip of his tea. 

Finn picked up his teacup afraid it was going to spill, and took a sip of it, the moment it touched his lips, his hands stopped shaking. 

“Now anyway” said The wizard. “I haven’t had many customers lately…”. 

“What do you mean?” asked Finn, who had found his voice. He looked over his shoulder two shaded figures stood there chatting on and on. “Arn’t they customers?”. 

“No there elven spies. I had to let them in they said something like the world is at stake or something” said the wizard, taking a sugar cube and dropped it into his tea cup. 


Finn eating a cookie 

“Elven spies?” said Finn, who had taken a cookie from the table near his chair, and took a bite of it with a crunch .

“They where sent by some elvish lords and ladies, I don’t know much else… ” said The wizard, stirring his tea with a spoon. 

“Oh” said Finn, who was reaching for a second cookie, and stuffing it into the pocket of his jacket for “Later”. 

“At least they never tell me. If I ask” said the wizard, there was a silence, Finn looked over at the two elves clad in black, they where still talking, but had laid a map out on the counter of the magic shop. 

what where they doing anyway? Finn thought. “Also may I ask why they are in your store?” inquired Finn . 

“You see…” said the wizard, he paused  “They asked for boarding, I let them in…”.

Finn nodded but there seemed to be more to the story then the wizard was telling him..but right now he was more counteracted on the cookies. They where so delicious the way they felt in your mouth , as they crumbled  in your mouth, how the chocolate melted on your tongue, they tasted so good, he needed another….Finn was so busy thinking about cookies..that he did not notice a black shape move across the floor and disappear into the dark corner. “Can I have another coo—cup of tea?” asked Finn, lifting his teacup which was empty , there was only a drip of tea left in the tea cup. The wizard kindly lifted the teapot and purred anther cup of tea, the tea ran in like a waterfall. Finn and the wizard sat a while drinking their tea (and eating cookies), they didn’t speak for awhile. Finn stared at his teacup , thinking on and on about cookies trying to keep his mind off what could have happened to his friends and sister

“I have been wondering this ever since I met you , Finn. Is your father the same short as Mr.short the hobbit who went on a adventure?” inquired the wizard. 

Finn looked up, and almost spilled his tea. “Way yes he is” said Finn. “And for some reason everyone thinks he is…crazy”. 

“I don’t think he is.” said the wizard, putting his hand on Finn’s shoulder. “besides If he hadn’t gone on the adventure he would have never met your mother”. 

That was true, when he was little he had always dreamed of adventure…

but now he wasn’t so sure weather to continue on the journey or not. …of course he needed to what would become of his sister and his friends if he didn’t? 

and what had happened to them anyway… 

 suddenly there was a sound of someone ringing a bell on and on  , the wizard looked up , “I better answer it”. He sat up from his seat , he set the tea cup down on the table. 

And went over to the door, and opened it to men were standing there , “We were wondering, If you had seen a elf that smells like a hobbit” one said. 

They were a pitch black jacket and had a wart on their nose they reminded Finn of the orcs, but how did they get here? and how did they take that form? 

“Well I haven’t seen anyone like that” he answered, as he was about to close the door, the other said 

“What were meaning to say is have you seen…” he looked at the other , and whispered something. “Well we don’t quite know what he looks like , he’s a elvish hobbit or is it a hobbitish Elf?” 

“Thank you for informing me, I will keep a ey—“ began the wizard. 

“Wait, I think we have a picture of what he looks, like” one said, and handed him a parchment with a stick figure drawn on it, with pointy ears and very big feet. 

“Thank you” he said, “But why are you looking for this person?”

“Umm…” began One, “I…well…you see…”. 

“Thank you, I will tell you if I see him” said the wizard, and shut the door. 

Finn was sitting there with a cookie in his hand, looking surprised. 

“H-How did they find me?”. 

“I don’t know, they were very odd. Almost like there was a spell on them” he said, scratching his chin. then sitting back down “But Don’t worry , I won’t tell them about you”. 

Finn nodded , but he didn’t feel quite safe, with those people outside , and the encounter with the orcs still was fresh in his memory, they where quite Ugly with all those warts to think they had once been elves…Elves that had changed in a way over a thousand years ago or more, that had decided to join evil, and turned ugly in the process? he wasn’t so sure if that was the whole story his mother had told it them the story about orcs, “The creation of Orcs” or was it 
“The tale of Orcs” He couldn’t remember really… all he could really remember was what had been happening when she told the story, Tess had been around the age of 4 or 5, Their Uncle Tirfendiel had been there, he well had been discussing stuff about laws and such with his mother, but Finn hadn’t been interested in that. He had been more interested in The story, his mother had been telling, the story about adventure. But  Lida had been saying that she wanted their mother to tell them a story that wasn’t about orcs…But now he had orcs chasing him!

 He wanted hide under a blanket or find out this was all just a bad dream, and go back to normal life…Where you could eat as much food as you liked, And have stories told by the Hearth. The stories would always have a happy ending , The princess would always marry the prince, and the villain was always defeated , In some way. The Dragons returned to their Dens , but what if His adventure didn’t? What if he never saw his friends or his sister again? 
what if he never could go home, what if he was lost…forever ??? Finn began to think of the worst, and began to eat the cookies he had saved for “later” they where a little bit crumbled but they were good anyway. What if they had gotten eaten by the orcs? 

“Finn are you alright?” asked the wizard. 


“No, I believe my friends were kidnaped by the orcs…”

Tess Short's story Chapter 13



Chapter 13: The Troublesome Portal 


The Comic-relief Questers: from left to right Lauralas , Lida ,George,  Finn and Eldon 

Lida looked at the handkerchief that they had found at the edge of the mountain, what had happened to Tess? had she been eaten by a troll on this very mountain? or had dwarves kidnaped her? she looked over at George it seemed unlikely. but what had happened to Tess? Their journey couldn’t end here , they had so much ahead of them… 

“So are journey is over?” asked Finn. “ Good I’m going to go home—“ he began, but was grabbed by Lida. 

“Finn, we are not leaving” said Lida. “Tess could be still out there”. 

“or not” said Finn, but he didn’t sound quite as cheery as before. 

“Finn, I’m sure she is still out there” said Lida. 

Finn sighed “I guess your right. But…This is turning into a adventure! and I’m a normal hobbit who doesn’t go off on things like that, with elves or…” he said. 

“Finn you are a half elf” said Lida. 

“But that doesn’t mean I have to act like one” said Finn. “I’m half Hobbit too you know”. 

“Yes, I know. How could I not know? where twins” said Lida. 

“But you said you where the oldest” said Finn. 

“I am I’m one minute apart from you, but we are still twins” said Lida. 

“So your a minute older then me?” Finn said. “So that means I’m younger then you by a minute….that makes no sense”. 

“No wonder you failed the math at school” said Lida, 

remembering their town school, she always sat closest to the teacher’s desk since her chair was so close to the hearth it got hot on winter days, but the teacher had insisted that she sit there, she would say “You are my star student” , Lida wasn’t always quite sure about that though. The teacher always seemed to be listening when Lida was talking about her uncle (of course she wasn’t bragging) , sometimes  she even said “Why doesn’t your uncle come to school sometime for our class sometime , you know I would love to meet him”. Lida would look at her and say “he is a king. I don’t think he has time for such things…” she felt as if her teacher was hiding something but what? 

“I did not” said Finn, interrupting her thought.  

“Yes you did” said Lida. 

“No I didn’t” Finn said. 

“Yes you did” Lida said. 

“No I didn’t” Finn said. 

“Yes you did” Lida said. 

“Yes I did— I mean…I didn’t” said Finn. 

“ha! I won!!” said Lida. “yes! I beat you in a argument! ha!” 

Lauralas looked over at them, and turned back to Eldon. “Where they arguing about being twins, and math problems?” asked Lauralas. 

“It seems like it” said Eldon. He looked over at them, they where saying. 

“I did not say that” 

“Yes you did”. 

“Will they ever stop?” asked Lauralas. Eldon looked at Lida and Finn then turned back to Lauralas. 

“I don’t know…”  Suddenly George popped up from nowhere. “Hi guys” George  said. “W-where did you come from?” asked Lauralas.
Long story you see I found a magic portal….but I see you need my assistance somewhere else” said George. 

“wait what portal?” asked Lauralas. but George was already walking up to Lida and Finn. 

“Wearing shoes is better then wearing no shoes” said Lida. 

“No shoes is better then wearing shoes your feet must hurt” said Finn. 

George walked up to them. Lida and Finn hardily noticed him they where too busy arguing. George cleared his throat then shouted “ORCS ARE ATTACKING” 

Lida and Finn turned around “What?” they said. “orcs , are attacking?” asked Lida.

 “Cool” said Finn. 

“Sorry false alarm” said Lauralas. 

“No umm…Lauralas it’s really not” said Eldon.

 “What do you mean…” she said, turning around. in the distance black dots where coming, thump, thump , thump. “George!” said Lauralas.

 “Sorry, I forgot to mention I accidentally brought a whole troop of orcs with me (I thought it was best to tell) . They where mad at me for trespassing and umm…I think I overheard their plans“ he said.

 “And there umm…going to get their revenge” said George, blushing a bright red color. Lauralas looked over the orcs kept coming, there was 10 no 20 no 30! they kept coming until there looked about a hundred. 
then a tall greenish purple orc came up he was wearing a helmet, it had a skull on top of it (probably from some unfortunate hero). he had a Jagged sword. his eyes where seen through the eye-holes of the helmet, they where glowing a blood-red color. Lauralas gulped. “Maybe their just passing by” said Lauralas. “Maybe there not angry at us”. suddenly a arrow shot through the air , and zoomed past Lauralas.
 “No I think their angry” said Eldon. Another arrow shot through the air. 
“Yeah there definitely angry, RUN!” said George. 

“run? Where were on a mountain?” said Finn, looking at the orcs slowly approaching towards the mountain. 

“Come with me to the portal, quickly!” said George and ran towards the wall, but before he went in Finn stopped him,
 “Wait where we will end up?” asked Finn. George looked at him then looked at the arrows… 
“Anywhere but’s just hope it isn’t a dragon’s hoard or a Orge’s den” answered George, and walked straight up to the wall and vanished. 

Finn fellowed him, and closed his eyes as he followed trying not look at the arrows flying through the air. and went into the wall expecting to crash into the wall but surprising nothing happened (well as far as he could tell).
he opened his eyes to find himself spinning in circles, then he quickly closed his eyes again….

Hope you liked the story!:)
