Subject: The Secrets of Lothlorien/Beginning of the End chapter 1

Hey all, This is a spin off of the Lord of the Rings...where Legolas is
dating Justin Timberlake (LaRue AmmonGuard in later chapters). He is not in
the band at the beginning. But somewhere in the story I plan to send them
to the future. So everything will be normal in the end.

DisClaimer
I do not know the sexuality of Justin Timberlake, nor do I know him!.
Everything is not true. So there!!

Chapter One
Beginning of the End


The lights dimmed in the elven forest of Lothlorien.  The pixies had laid
down their heads at an attempt to sleep through the deafening screams of
the Lady of the Wood.  In the center of the city in the trees was the
palace of Galadriel, elf queen of that part of the world.  She lay with
child in the foyer of her bedroom, with many of her servants scurrying
about as she tried to give birth.  Propped upon silken pillows and linens
she gave directions as to how she was to be served.

"Lillian, do not forget to boil the birthing garments, and the gauze," she
said as the young elf ran through the door, "Oh, and the trunikak. No child
can be born immortal without it. And please hurry!" Galadriel tried to stay
patient and she recited many elven chats and charms to battle the pain.

"Madam, there is someone here of great importance that wishes to speak with
you" said a dainty yellow fairy.

"And who may I ask is this someone of importance?" answered she.

"Saurman" she shakily spoke.

As the fairy said his name in walked the most powerful wizard that one
might have ever set his eyes upon, his long...flowing beard gently brushed
across the floor and looked almost invisible against his blinding white
robe with golden trimming. He wore nothing atop his head, but his white
hair. To this day we know not what this wizard was. He had the pointed
elven ears, but not the grace and beauty that was bestowed on
them. Instead, pain and hatred had mapped itself across his stern and
expressionless face.

"Dare I say that you were mindful to have our child without me present?" he
said harshly, with that same glint of evil in his ever seeing eyes.

"Dare not, for if you dare...pain and great hurt shall be put upon you.
Saurman, I have asked you not to come here. Especially this summer's
eve. For you know my power, and me yours. I have the upper hand. So, I will
ask you only once to leave this place and never return." Galadriel softly
spoke.

"You know not my power, or the extent of it, you witch. But after this
night you will, for I plan to take the child that you will deliver and
train him to my level as so I will have an immortal heir. When I pass into
shadows I will live through him, and be immortal as well. You can keep your
elven charms and spells they do me no harm." He calmly said.

"As you wish, Saurman." She said bluntly.

Shelatrus, Nneeinith Narmatuhran Dominago Shelatrus~~

All the light in the center of the room was drawn into a small ball in the
palm of Galadriel. The light came from her, and all of the elves standing
around her.  Then began to repeat the enchantment that she had just
said. The ball grew to a greater size until it had taken her and her
un-born baby in. With her completely inside the ball began to spin, and it
grew smaller until it disappeared.  Saurman raised his staff and shouted
"Utuluf Ransiflock" and a portal opened and like a window all the elves
could see the world in which Saurman lived and through it he stepped.



Now, if you are wondering how Galadriel ever got to be with Saurman, this
is the account of that matter. During the good ages, after Sauron had been
thought dead...Saurman was the leader of the white flame, a very powerful
group of people that were the protectors of Middle Earth. One of the people
under him was a wizard called Gandelf, and he will come into the story
later on. Saurman and Galadriel had been married once and conceived a child
together. In the beginning of the pregnancy Saurman's craving for the one
ring of power was at its strongest. He could feel Sauron's growing power
and when he was traveling to Rivendell for the Council of Elrond he was
overtaken by the Goblins of the Misty Mountains. They carried him deep into
Moredor leading him with promises of the ring.

When they reached their destination, there awaited a fate for Saurman that
no other could handle. He was put into a trance and accepted Sauron into
his body.  And now nine months later this is still the current
situation. But that unborn child is the key to everything. The past,
present, and future.


19 years later in the land of Mirkwood


Sunlight crept across the floor and up the wall in the small hut where
Justin Timberlake slept on a heap of down. He was elf, you could tell by
looking at him, but there were also many other features about him that were
very uncommon for and elf to posses. Like his white blue eyes, or the very
short white hair...but like the elves he was tall and slender.

This morning was particularly special, for it was his nineteenth birthday.
He had lived in the same hut for nineteen years, never having any parents,
he had lived much of his life in exile. With the exception of a few
friends, he barely had any contact with the outside world.

He rolled over in his pile as the sun passed along his handsome face. His
eyes fluttered open, and while stretching he lit a fire in the
hearth. Earlier I told you his father was Saurman, so as you expected...he
possed many useful powers, like flame. Most of the powers of the earth he
has. And unlike the elves, he did not have to use words, or charms to
invoke them. Being that he often slept naked, he quickly dressed and opened
the wooden door to the outside.

Living in Mirkwood was not at all easy, without his clout he would never be
able to keep all the things that lurk in the dark at bay. With trolls and
goblins out at all hours looking for some loot, it is sometimes quite hard
what with all the hexes and enchantments he had to use on his small
home. But, whoever left him...left him prepared. When he was old enough,
Gandelf the Grey, brought him the "Book of Elrond".

In it he found many things in which to aid him live. Like how to ward off
Ringwraiths, or how to conjure food out of dirt. Just different things of
that nature. Also, a white tiger cub had been with him since as far as he
could remember. In those days, animals varied...some could talk, some were
able to change their size, and some were able to make their features
change. Not change into a whole different animal, for instance: if it was
held up atop a mountain, the animal would be able to sprout wings and fly
off of it. Or, if it was underwater and needed to breathe, it would be
able. Blair, as Justin called him, was given the gift of all three. So, he
often came in handy. Although, Blair preferred to keep his wings visible,
he looked as a regular white tiger should.

It had been many weeks since Gandelf had been by Justin's house, but since
it was his birthday...he figured that he would probably be out and about,
making his way to the hut. So, in preparing he put on a kettle and
retrieved his pipe and lake weed out of its case. And just as he had lit
his smoke, Gandelf rode up on his horse.

Gandelf was a strange sort of character, what with his un-combed hair, and
his unusually big, blue, wide brimmed hat. He was very tall, taller than
most elves.  On most occasions when he had come to visit Justin, he would
come with a cherry kind of disposition...but Gandelf had a deranged and
serious look on his ancient face.

"Morning to you, Gandelf, it has been almost a month since your last
visit."  Justin said welcomingly.

"Justin, I am afraid that this journey is just at it's beginning. Come,
draw up a stump for yourself, for we have much to discuss." He said, his
seriousness growing with every word that was spoken.

"Well, whatever it is can wait until we have had breakfast. I am starving."
He joked.

"Today is your nineteenth birthday, if my calculations are correct, and so
in it being so...I have many things that you need to know."

Justin stopped what he was doing and turned to face Gandelf.

"What things" he starred.

"First things first, I know you know of the Lady of Lothlorien...but what
you do not know is that she is your mother. And Saurman is your father."

"You are speaking of Galadriel, right? She is my mother," he bent down and
sat on the stump, for so long he has wondered about his parents, he knew
that he was elf...but he didn't know what else. Galadriel, he had thought
that she was only a child's tell...a myth. And Saurman, Middle Earth's
greatest enemy, was his father. How ironic. All his life he had been trying
to help defeat him. But being a child he could do nothing, "why have you
waited so long to tell me these things."

"Justin, your mother gave me specific directions to keep you safe, and the
day you turn nineteen to bring you to her, in Lothlorien."

"All of my grief and sorrow could have been spared if only I would have
known the truth. I am not alone..."

"We must leave as soon as possible, the evil has entered the wood and it
knows all secrets"

"What does that mean? How many secrets are afloat here? What things have
not you told me?"

"All will be revealed when we reach your mother. Now we travel light, so
whatever you hold dearest and whatever is useful, pack it up. Where is
Blair?"

"He left earlier this morning to Rivendell to take a message to Elrond for
me. But he is due back at anytime."

"Good...we will need him during this journey." He said rushing Justin
along.

"Gandelf, how will we be traveling? It would take days to get all the way
to Lothlorien form here. We would have to go through The Mines of Moria,
and Lake Town." He said with question.

"That is why we need Blair, I intend for us to fly. It will only take us a
day and a half."

"Gandelf...what about Legolas?"

"What about him?"

"You know that I must tell him, and you also know that he will come with
us."

"Justin, love and kindness between friends is expectable and often
welcomed.  But you cannot go in front of your mother and be a flamer. It is
against my advice to bring Legolas along." He said sternly.

"Your words cannot change my mind, old one. You know as well as I do that
he will come, and you can smirk all you want." Justin laughed.

"Well, I tried...meanwhile, I see Blair. So, get ready."

"He will expect a reason for this rush."

"Must everyone know what we are doing and where we are going?"

"Everyone that is going along, I should expect."

While they were arguing...Legolas had crept up and overheard almost the
whole conversation. Smiling to himself he thought - I really love him, he
and Gandelf have been friends for quite some time and still he defends our
relationship to him. - He pushed his long blonde hair behind his pointed
ears. Legolas was about six foot tall, kind of short for an elf...but still
a little taller than Justin. Dressed in gold and velvet, he looked rather
sexy. Sitting atop his pegasus, Eli. But like Blair, he couldn't talk. They
walked silently up to the hut, Blair had already arrived and they were
preparing to leave,

"Trying to leave without you love?" Legolas said.

"Hey, baby, how are you? We were just about to come to your father's
castle.  But I see that you come all ready geared up." He said lovingly.

Justin walk to where Legolas was standing and gave his a kiss.

"I have missed you so much, why has it been so long?"

"Justin, you know I had to go to the Council of Elrond with father, I am
only old enough now to go. Although the whole time I was gone I was missing
you."

"So I guess that you are coming along with us? Since you seem to know where
we are going, already."

"Yes, I wouldn't miss it. Plus you need someone to help you with your
powers. And I don't think that I can be away from you for more than a few
minutes!"

"He has someone to help with his powers, and we need to be off." Gandelf
said angrily."
