Drizzt POV
We finally arrive back in Edoras and- It's Not Even TOUCHED! Die you stupid city. This place was supposed to be burned to the ground! Not absolutely fine! At least, it does make moving back in easier. I turn and survey everyone. Most soldiers and those fighting did survive. I glance at Legolas and Jarlaxle, while they aren't obvious you can tell they love each other. I hope everything turns out alright for them. The people of Rohan settle in with ease. As we start to put away supplies and weapons, children begin to play. I smile and engage a group of them in a game of Tag. Running slowly to make it fair, I'm about to be caught by an older kid when Zak picks me up and puts me in front of him on a horse.
"Bye Hefenal! I'll play again later!" He waves me off and chases another kid. I turn to Zak.
"So Ada, where are we going?"
"Isengard." I scowl and cuddle closer to him.
"Don't wanna." Legolas laughs from where he and Jarlaxle are sharing a horse. Zak holds me a little tighter. We ride up to Fangorn forest. The trees seem agitated. One brushes me.
'True Ranger! The Nazgul Khamul knows you are in Rohan. He seeks to bring you before his master!' I nod acceptingly. I already knew this but, it's nice to know the trees care. We continue through the forest to Isengard. Merry and Pippin are sitting on the rocks waiting for us.
"Welcome my lords! To Isengard!" Merry shouts. He then notices Zak and Jarlaxle.
"I see you found your father Drizzt! Congratulations!" I grin up at him.
"A merry chase you've led us on you scoundrels! We've been worried sick about you and we find you stuffing your faces!" Gimli grumbled at them.
"We are sitting on a field of victory, enjoying the plunder of a hard fought battle. The salted pork, is particularly good." Pippin informs him.
"Hobbits." Vagabond huffs at them. I giggle and we ride towards a large tower. At the top stands Sourman.
"How'd you get up there Sourman?" He sneers at me.
"How dare you! You should kneel at my feet elfling! He shoots a fireball at me. Zak bats it away with his swords. I raise my scimitars. Vagabond rides forward and asks Sourman to come down. They argue for a few minutes before Slimy appears behind him.
"How did you get up there? He's a wizard so that explains it, but you're not are you?" I ask with perfect child curiosity. Everyone ignores me as Sourman insults Theoden.
"Grima! You need not follow him." Theoden calls up. Sourman smacks Grima away.
"He's gonna kill you!" I yell up at him. As usual, no one listens. Grima stands up and stabs Souman. Legolas shots him in the chest. Sourman falls down the tower, landing on a spiked wheel. I wince. Something falls out of his pocket. I walk up to it, and pick it up.
"Vagabond! Vagabond! Come take this!" Vagabond doesn't seem to want to answer to that. I walk up to him.
"Here you go Vagabond!" I grin handing it to him. He takes it carefully and wraps it up without touching it. Weirdo. He eyes me more suspiciously than ever! What in the nine hells? I raise an eyebrow at him.
"What is your problem? What suspicious thing have I done this time?" I glare at him and he flinched. Zak picked me up and put me back on the horse. I snuggle up to him and cry silently. I have to act like it hurts. An Ent picks me up.
"So this is what wakes the trees and has their loyalty? I cannot say I approve of their awakening. But, I believe you will do good." He puts me back on the horse. Ranger and Vagabond lead us back through Fangorn. Emerging from the forest I walk over to a shallow valley. I close my eyes and concentrate. You want me to be evil Vagabond? Fine I'll remember all the drow magic I can and absolutely destroy you. I float up softly, and allow Lloth's blessing to fully wrap around me. I open my eyes so much more powerful. Lightning strikes around me. Game on Vagabond.
