BEWARE...the NAZGIRLS!

[Lyta_Underhill]

I especially enjoyed this part:

Suddenly Christopher Lee appears and in an excruciatingly conceited voice tells the Nazgirl\boys that they are pronouncing the characters' names wrong, then proceeds to tell the correct pronunciations. The Nazgirls cry for mercy.

I have a desperate need to express something creatively but no inspiration whatsoever, so I decided to throw caution to the wind and attempt a short variation on this theme, at least partially inspired by a particularly painful interview of Elijah Wood on Ellen the other day (yes, I taped it--does this make me a Nazgirl?)

The scene: Osgiliath. David (Wenham) glanced sharply upwards and gave the call, "Nazgirl!" his dazzling teeth bared to the sky. In less than a moment, Elijah stands exposed on the battlements, clutching the Ring, having been directed to stand there no matter what. Sean looks on uneasily from the wings, worried for his friend. "Why would Peter Jackson make Elijah stand out there in the open?" Sean mused. Then he saw it. The Nazgirl was descending in a makeshift aircraft that was fashioned with flapping skinlike wings and a lizardlike head at the end of a long neck. The Fell Beast had several hidden propellers and made an intolerable screeching noise. Sean wasn't sure if the noise was the Nazgirl screaming or the hideous chariot in which she rode. He looked nervously over at Elijah, who was standing completely still, except for the hand that held the Ring. The hand slipped upwards to his face, Ring in his clutches. Slowly his other hand rose to meet it. Before Peter could yell "Cut!" Elijah's fingers were in his mouth. He had begun to chew what was left of his nails in an unconscious succumbing to a lifelong habit. Sean scratched his head, but he also risked a glance up at the horrific Nazgirl on her Fell Helicopter. She was mesmerized, unmoving, her eyes were focused on Elijah's hands. It was a delicate moment. Sean's eyes met Elijah's. Suddenly there was an understanding. The balanced tipped and Sean could see the Nazgirl beginning her dive. If Elijah hesitated, this could be the end.

Suddenly, Elijah quickly sat down upon the battlements, pulled his oversized hobbit foot up towards his mouth, and began to chew on one of the 'toenails.' It was an amazing feat of contortion, but Elijah did not break a sweat, nor lose his balance. Sean watched him for a moment, wondering if he did this regularly. Then his thought strayed back to the imminent threat, the hovering Nazgirl. Interestingly, she was still staring, but her eyes were open in a horrified wide gaze, her illusions destroyed forever. The spell was broken. Sean did not realize his peril...

OK...rate it if you were able to stand reading it! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
