The Fellowship and the Fairy Tale World

Part 2

Diary of Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk

Being chased by angry giant.  If I hurry, I can make it down magic beanstalk before he catches up with me.  This magic goose and magic harp better fetch me lots of cash to make this adventure worthwhile!  Going to be tricky carrying all this loot while climbing down beanstalk.

Diary of Legolas

The head of my captors told me I must give myself to each and every one of them, otherwise they will hang Aragorn.  Unacceptable!  I demanded they release us and allow us to continue on our very important quest.  They laughed and said they care nothing about our quest.  Repeated their demand that I give myself to each and every one of them, otherwise they will hang Aragorn.  In order to buy time, I said I would agree only on the condition they allow me to see Aragorn so that I may grant him one last request.  They reluctantly agreed.

**********

Diary of Aragorn

My captors brought me to see Legolas locked in that cage on wheels.  Legolas asked me if I had any last request of him before he gives himself to each and every one of our captors to do with as they please.  Was too stunned to say anything, so my beautiful elf offered to sing one last song for me.  Ah, his melodious voice!  So
magnificent!  As he sang, our captors stood in awe and savored the beauty of his singing.

Diary of Boromir

We are closing in on the fairy tale men who captured Aragorn and Legolas!  They outnumber us, but with the element of surprise on our side, we might succeed.

**********

Diary of Frodo

Singing!  I hear singing!  Legolas must be near!  He's alive!  I recognize that beautiful voice!  We're coming, Legolas!

**********

Diary of Aragorn

A giant!  A huge giant suddenly appeared, reached down and picked up Legolas imprisoned in that cage on wheels and carried him away!  Oh, no!  My beloved Legolas!  Where is that giant taking him?

**********

Diary of the Mirror on the Wall

My, my.  This is getting interesting.  The elf-fanciers from our world are reeling from the shock of seeing their captured prize snatched from their midst by a huge giant.  I wonder they'll do now?  There goes the giant climbing back up the beanstalk.  And he's taking the elf with him, cage and all.  Oh, the look on the faces of those fairy tale men is priceless!  Serves them right!

**********

Diary of Aragorn

Afraid of heights?  All of these fairy tale men who captured us are afraid of heights?  That's why they won't go after the giant who has taken Legolas?  Cowards!  I demanded they untie me so that I can go after Legolas and rescue him!  They talked about it amongst themselves, then relucantly agreed.

I convinced them to give me Legolas's weapons they had taken from him earlier, as we might need these to escape from the giant.

They said they would wait at the bottom of the beanstalk to take Legolas back into custody after I rescue him.  That's what they think!  Fat chance I'm going to let them get their filthy hands (or any other parts of their bodies) on my elf!

**********

Diary of Boromir

Arrived just in time to see Aragorn about to climb a monstrous beanstalk.  He said a giant took Legolas up there.  We offered to go up with him to rescue the elf.

**********

Diary of Gimli

A giant beanstalk?  What a strange twist this adventure has taken!  But we must rescue the elf, much as I hate to admit we need him for our quest.

**********

Diary of Pippin

Ooh, a giant beanstalk!  I imagine just one bean from this plant would be enough for an elevensie!

**********

Diary of the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk

That little thief may have stolen my magic goose and my magic harp, but the beautiful singing from this caged elf more than makes up for my loss.  He stopped singing when I reached down and picked him up in his cage.  Poor little thing must be frightened.  What can I do to put him at ease so that he may sing for me again?

**********

Diary of Legolas

I do not believe how this day keeps getting worse and worse!  What does this giant want from me?  Is he going to eat me?  What's that giant black cauldron in the fireplace for?  Aagghh!

**********

Diary of Saruman

Fairy tale men failed to do away with Aragorn.  But the Ranger and his friends are no match for that huge giant who took Legolas!  Why, he could crush the whole lot of them with one step of his foot!  Oh, yes, I'd pay money to see that happen!

**********

Diary of the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk

Was able to put elf at ease.  Having nice, civilized conversation.  He told me of the important quest he was on to save world from destruction.  Interrupted by surprise visit from my very young niece.  Had to stop her from grabbing the elf, as she thought it was a toy fashion doll and wanted to comb his long blond hair and change
his clothes.  She pouted when I sternly told her the elf was off limits.  I sent her home and told her to let me know ahead of time when she wants to visit.

**********

Diary of Aragorn

We finally made it up to the top of the beanstalk.  Everything up here is huge.  That castle over there must be where the giant lives.  We paused for just a moment to think of what dangers we might face in there.  Then we bravely moved toward the castle.  We're coming, Legolas!

**********

Diary of the Niece of the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk

My uncle won't let me play with that pretty blond dolly he has.  Meanie!  Sent me home.  Oh, but lookie!  A whole bunch of cute little ones running over here!  Oh, they see me!  They're stopping.  Now they're running away from me!  Aaww!  Come back!  I just want to play with you!  You can all live in my dollhouse!  And maybe I can get my uncle to let his pretty blond dolly live in my dollhouse, too!
