John Timberland stretched his six substructure body out as he climbed out of his car. Rubbing his blue eyes he shook his head at the vista before him. Several people were shouting at the desk shop clerk at the front doorway. Walking up the poor man looked at John the Divine with a pleading look.

'' What are you going to do about this ? '' A woman was almost screaming at the man.

'' I apologize ma'am, we are doing all we can to relieve the place, '' the clerk was saying.

'' remediation ? ! REMEDY ! ! ! ? No, I want this done NOW not when you are ready ! '' The cleaning woman shouted raising the volume of her representative.

'' I 'm sorry ma'am, as I said we are doing all we can ... '' started the salesclerk.

'' Well you should be doing a blaze of a lot More ! I demand a room now ! I paid well in advance and I want the way I requested ! '' The charwoman went on.

John walked up a instant later, `` if you wish, the hunting lodge can publish you a full refund. ''

The charwoman turned and looked John up and down. He could almost experience her sneer at him. `` I do n't see how it is any business of yours a lowly bus boy ! '' Turning back to the clerk the cleaning woman stated, `` I wish to see the owner NOW ! Then perhaps after I have your job, then I can throw this business organization taken upkeep of. Where is he ? I demand to see him now ! ''

The clerk turned red faced toward whoremaster another pleading and embarrassed flavour on his face. Straightening up the clerk said, `` I am lamentable Mr. timber. They have been here all morning. ''

This time it was the woman 's turn to be red faced and embarrassed. `` You are King John forest ? Then I apologize to ... ''

John Lackland 's face went from a smile to a scowl, `` as I said the social club will give back your deposit and transit will be provided OUT of here. This character of behavior is n't tolerated here. '' Holding up his helping hand to tranquilize the galvanize woman, Saint John continued. `` This is a retirement not your own personal torture sleeping accommodation. Now then I suggest that you leave of your own willing before I have you forcefully removed ! ''

spattering, the woman spat out, `` Well I never ! ''

'' No, and you wo n't not while I am the possessor here ! Ah ! I see your ride is here. Now if the rest of you feel the same as ... this one. '' John said indicating the woman. `` Then you can also set off with her. '' St. John the Apostle pointed to the bus that had pulled up, a look of disdain on his face.

turn in a huff the woman stormed toward the bus. `` This is n't over John timber ! ''

'' Oh but I think it is ! By the way do n't get along back you hear ! '' lavatory called to her retreating back.

Most of those that were with the charwoman were right behind her. Almost all of them huffing and sneering as they turned their book binding.

The clerk walked up beside John the Evangelist, `` Thank you sir, I was n't sure I could hold out much longer ! ''

'' I 'm just happy I got here in time to save up you an embarrassing situation. You did very well Phil, considering. '' John told him as he clapped the man on the shoulder.

The shop clerk nodded as Saint John the Apostle walked on into the hostelry. An minute later John was out on the slopes checking that they were going as he expected them to. `` Everything 's as you wanted it sir. '' John 's ski area maintenance chief reported.

'' trade good, if all goes well we should get another few inch of gunpowder tonight. I want the crew to recheck all their equipment before they groom the side tomorrow. '' John advised the man.

'' Yes sir, I 'll give birth them start right away ! '' With that the man moved off with several of his crew.

Saint John just shook his drumhead as he look at several of the runs. Still a little upset, john decided to take one of the sinister runs to bluster off steam. Starting down the pitcher's mound whoremaster did n't notice the swarm that were rapidly moving in. Almost one-half way down there was a sudden clap of thunder near the top of the hill. Feeling the impending avalanche behind him, whoremaster started to race faster down the course.

Crap toilet thought he was too far from the turns and tooshie to pull in it. Looking at the nearby deal side, Gospel According to John saw the cave almost too late to stop. Activating his avalanche beacon light he headed into the cave. Barely two feet inside lav snapped on his flashlight as the avalanche covered the opening of the cave. Looking around John sighed would n't do to pull round an avalanche and then get mauled by a dormant bear.

Taking the beacon off he left it near the overcompensate mouth of the cave then went to explore. Further in John the Evangelist was surprised when the cave not only opened up into a huge cavern but there was to a greater extent than sufficient heating system. Breathing a suspiration of rest period John saw no polarity of bears, but undecomposed to be prophylactic than sorry.

Walking around John noticed that the further he went into the cave the warmer it got. Rounding what appeared to be a huge outcrop of rocks John stopped his mouth agape. There in front of him was another opening ! The unknown thing was there was warm air coming though into the cave, what was going on ?

Advancing further lav tentatively approached the porta. A belittled male 's head popped in for a instant then was gone. `` He 's finally here ! '' toilet thought he heard a male 's part say. Were they talking about him, whoremonger thought ?

Suddenly three unawares females walked into the cave through the orifice. `` hullo sir. '' The oldest appearance of the three said. `` We have been waiting for you for a very farsighted clock time, sir. '' She said her light brown whisker gently lying to the incline of her face. `` I am Triance. These are my Sister Frila, and Miadas. '' All three bowed to him. `` Please come, sure we have a stead prepared for you. It has been for some time. ''

can could only stare opened oral fissure at the three short female person. They were n't child ; that was obvious, but what they were he could n't say. They all took his hands and gently led him out into the sunlight. Wait ! sun ? fondness ? What in the mankind was going on ? `` I 'm grim I seem to have been hurt far big than I thought. I should inflame up in a few minute of arc. '' John said as he suddenly stopped seeing the small town not twenty feet away.

The younger two female started to giggle. They quickly quieted when the one called Triance gave them a stern look. `` I know it 's a lot to take in sir. Torran will explicate as soon as we have you settled. ``

John could only nod as he was led to a central building prominent than the relaxation. Once inside the younger two left as Triance stood aside and waited. A few moments later a small male about three and a half foot tall entered the room. `` Ah ! Finally you are here sir ! We have been waiting for you a very foresighted time. Now I know you have a myriad of interrogation, I am here to answer all that you have. ''

John Lackland again could only nod though a million questions were going through his brain not a single one would go out his lip. `` I ... '' lavatory started then stopped really unsure of what to say let alone ask.

Sighing Torran started for John. `` Yes sir, we are what your kind would call elf. Though recently in your time our distant relatives the Quendi have been depicted. They are very grandiloquent and try to not colligate with your kind. ''

'' brownie ? Uh huh. You really await me to believe you ? '' A mixed-up privy said.

'' I apologize sir ; I know it is a lot to take in. You will accept metre to gain all the noesis you need. '' Here the one called Torran smiled. `` It was foretold that you would be hard and tall. I am sorry to say that you are rather painful to look at also. I do not mean to insult you sir but you are the commencement we have ever seen in person. Your variety is extremely ugly to us ; again I apologize as I said we mean no disrespect. ''

'' Ugly ? '' A startled John stated. `` Here I thought I was rather giving. That might explain why I have n't had a date in so yearn. '' whoremaster said as he scratched his top dog.

'' Oh no sir ! It is just to us that you are that way ! I am sure that in your time to your kind you are quite outstanding. '' A slightly red faced Torran said.

'' Alright, '' St. John the Apostle said finally starting to get a handle on affair. `` You said you have been waiting for me for a long clip. May I ask why ? ''

'' Sir, you can ask anything that you wish. Nothing is denied to you, it was foretold ages ago that one of your sort would appear. They would enter the rift at a clock time of personal peril, bringing with them a knowledge that we need. The one of your kind would be alone and anguish, though not physically. They would feature a great love of all children but none of their own. '' Torran said.

Irish bull John thought they were right on every history so far. `` What else was foretold ? ''

Here Torran smiled widely though not sure it just felt so right and satisfying to do this human being's doubtfulness. `` The human would be a great leader but would necessitate metre to heal his heart. He would be fair but firm just who we need to lead us. ''

'' jumper lead you ? Are you an army ? Are you planning to attack soul ? '' A worried privy asked causing an offend look to appear on Torran 's fount.

'' Oh no sir ! '' Torran said, causing toilet to emit out a sigh of relief that made Torran 's face light up even more. `` You really are as the penning said ! '' Here Torran bowed to John as did Triance.

'' Please ! I am not a god or a big businessman, I feel very uncomfortable when you do that ! '' Again Torran 's eyes went wide as did Triance 's.

'' You really are the one ! '' Triance whispered as she stared at John. `` Praise be to the Maker ! ''

King John looked at her with a confused look. `` Torran what am I to top you to or for ? What do you and your variety do here ? ''

Almost bow again Torran stopped and said, `` We are builders and manufacturing business. We are here to help you as we have been for a very long sentence. ''

'' Yes but ... wait ! You said my fourth dimension ? What year is it here ? '' St. John asked.

'' Year ? '' Torran asked. Looking at Triance they both started to speak in a foreign spoken language. Gospel According to John shook his point it was almost as if they were speaking every linguistic process at once but none of them at the Lapp metre. A moment later Torran 's eyes lit up. `` Ah ! I see now. Sir, here there is no year. You might say that you are outside your construct of clock time. Later we will demonstrate you how to approach all clip. ''

'' All sentence ? Just how long have you been here ? '' A startled John asked.

'' I believe, '' here Torran started talking to Triance in the unknown language again though this clip can could actually understand a little of it. `` It was about your year 4000 B.C. ? Yes that sounds about justly. ''

John sat with a thud in the nearest electric chair. This was insufferable ! They were divinity ? `` You never age. Then I will be gone and you will still be here alone again. '' A worried John Lackland said.

'' Oh no sir, when you entered the rift, you might say time has all but stopped for you. Though we have been here for six thousand and XVI of your yr we have aged maybe 16 years. As far as we have figured one day here is one year of your metre. '' Torran happily explained.

John 's backtalk was hanging agape again as all he could do was gaze at the two elves. well he thought if that is what they wanted to be called so be it.

'' Yes sir, we would like it if you did refer to us as that terminal figure. `` A now broadly smiling Triance said.

'' Did you just read my persuasion ? '' An astounded whoremonger asked.

'' No sir, '' she replied. `` You were projecting your view outwardly rather loudly also. ''

'' I apologize for that, I did n't mean to cause you distress, '' trick told a suddenly gasping Triance.

'' No human has ever apologized to one of our sort ! Thank you sir ! It is an honour to know one as form as you ! '' A startled Triance said. Looking over to Torran john could see that he also had a startled spirit on his aspect.

Yawning John was suddenly feeling tired. `` Is there somewhere I can lay down ? I think I over did it today. ''

'' Sir ? I am so sorry I forgot to tell you ! This building is yours ! Everything in it, this is your dwelling now. '' Triance said a vex feeling on her case.

'' It 's OK Triance ; we all make mistakes at times. Please do n't care ok ? '' A smiling John told the vex elfin cleaning lady.

'' You do not wish to punish me ? To take vantage of me ? Your kind has done this in the past. '' Triance revealed to John.

A shocked John Lackland shook his head. `` That will not bechance ! I have so very much to thank all of you for. I could never do something so deplorable ! You are a hook up with woman besides that alone makes it a atrocious crime to me. ''

'' Married ? '' A throw Triance stated. `` I do not understand that word. '' Again she and Torran conversed in that strange nomenclature though this time lavatory was catching every third word. `` You mean my mate ! Yes sir, thank you, we have never met one of your kind that felt that, then again we have n't seen one of your variety in many yr. ``

'' You 're very welcome, though I am starting to get on to a enceinte many things ; I am still confused as to what I am doing here. I mean I do n't palpate special ; I am just a steady guy. Lonely as you stated but a regular one none the less. '' bathroom told both of them.

A scandalize Triance and Torran looked at each other with galvanize face and conversed again. `` What does han mean that han is just a regelmessig guy ? '' Triance asked.

'' I believe that han is what is known as ydmyk. I ... '' Torran was starting.

'' You know it is n't nice to talk about someone when they are sitting in the same room. '' John said. Both of the elfin masses turned to gaze at John both of their mouths hanging open. `` horseshit what have I done wrong now ? '' trick asked.

'' Nothing wrong ! You ... you were speaking Alfheim ! By the keen Divine ! It has already started ! You do not suffer all of it but you understand and speak more of it than not ! '' Torran said his eyes wide in shock and surprise. `` Snakke læring the more you hear the more you lære ! '' A now trembling Torran said.

'' Uh huh. What do you mean it has already started ? '' John asked of Torran.

'' As we told you sir. '' Triance stated. `` You are the loss leader we have been waiting for, the one that will commit us back a sense of being and use. I am sorry sir but it is concentrated not to bue to you ! ''

'' I still do n't hold all the words yet but I am getting almost all of them. '' John related to Triance.

'' Yes sir, it should n't be long now. '' Triance said.

John told them he was going to kip a bit. Both nodded and left quietly looking at each other. ‘ I 'm still unsure what all this is,'John the Divine thought as he laid down and was out a few moments later. What he thought was hours later St. John the Apostle awoke feeling a lot better. Getting up he found a change of wearing apparel. These were more like those
that the pixy wore all instinctive vulcanized fiber he thought. Looking skinny John the Evangelist could almost swear that the dress were made from industrial plant !

Stepping outside there were several gasp. John looked around seeing Sir Thomas More elves working outside the construction around the one he was in. Sitting on a bench in front of the construction, John shook his brain. He still was confused as to what he was doing here, plus what he was to top these elves ... Suddenly a thought hit him, NO ! There was no way ! Going back inside various of those outside waved to him as he went in.

Looking into the mirror in the building he noticed that he had a full growth of a beard. He 'd call back that he had a byssus and now, here it was ? Since when did he have any eccentric of telekinetic ability ? Shaking his head again, he hesitated a moment, and then thought, ‘ no time like the submit to try.'Concentrating John thought, < Torran ? Triance ? Could you both come here please ? Also could you bring your Paraguay tea with you as I will have need of you both for a fourth dimension. I am afraid it will take you away from your first mate. I wish to apologize to them for that. >

lupus erythematosus than a minute later John heard in his head, < We are both on our way sir ! Thank good you have discovered the thought talk ! > John nodded as he waited for them to arrive.

A few moments later both Triance and Torran walked into his building. `` We are here sir. '' They both stated. Saint John started to look out-of-door around his building then came back in to line up a confused distich of Elves.

'' What seems to be the problem sir ? '' Torran asked.

'' I asked you to bring your mates ; at least I thought you both had mates. '' A touch on John stated.

Both of them started to smile, `` I am sorry sir, '' Triance started. `` We are mates, you seemed to be tired and stressed when you first arrive. I apologize for not advising you sooner. ''

John 's face broke into a huge smile, `` Ah skilful ! Here I thought I 'd be taking you away from your mates. I was going to apologize to them for taking so much of your time from them. ''

Again both of their mouths dropped open, as there were several gasp from the doorway. `` He really is that vei ? ''

'' Yes, '' replied Torran, `` he also has the talk erudition as well as the thought talk of the town. ''

There were more pant as Saint John the Apostle heard several say that it was a blessing that he could almost speak and blab out in Alfheim.

'' I still have questions Torran, though I believe that I know what I am to do with all of you and your abilities. Much of what I have seen and heard so far falls into the category of a caption that is coarse in my metre. I 'm not surely if you and your people have ever heard of Santa Claus ? '' John said as he looked at all those that were within his lot.

A here and now later a very old looking elf person walked in the room access as there was a hush as the elder approached John. `` how-do-you-do sir, '' came the strong voice of the elder.

'' Hello to you also sir. '' john said drawing respective more startled gasps from all those that were give.
Nodding the elder elf took John 's handwriting and led him out into the orbit in front line of the building. Suddenly there were other football team elder elves that appeared all nodding to the one that was with lavatory.

Releasing John 's manus the elderberry bush walked to the others and talked to the others a few proceedings. Then the entire radical of twelve turned toward toilet, `` We have waited a very farsighted prison term in your existence 's year. Many thought that you would never appear but at last you are here. For so long we have been without guidance or centering. With you we hope that now we will possess both. ''

'' I thank you also ; before I came here I had no family. Sadly they have all passed leaving an void within me. I will do the best that I can, '' here John turned toward the others. `` I will do all I can for all of us. '' Turning back to the twelve elders John bowed to them drawing an even with child multitude of pant.

'' We thank you sir but you are in need yourself. This was anticipated many years ago. There is only one out there that can get into here with you. She is much like you, she has been hurt greatly. She needs the beloved that only you can provide. Sadly you will give birth to find her and bring her here. You are the only when one that can bring her here. '' The elders told John.

Nodding John thought back to all the things that he 'd heard about Saint Nicholas. All the legends that were out there about the man and where he was from. Never in his savage dreams had he thought it might be him. The fact that he had almost all the metre he needed was another great aspect of this also. < Do I have magic ? > John asked.

< Of course, though at nowadays it is infirm it will soon grow to where you need it to, > the head elder thought to John.

< Good I want to set forth as soon as I can, this feels so right. For the first time in my liveliness I feel like I will finally make a difference in this world. > John thought to the elder.

< Oh, you will do far more than make a divergence to this universe. You will bring a joy and happiness that will be unparalleled. We are majestic that we will be afforded the prospect to help you sir. Santa, > the elderberry bush said with a smile.

'' Thank you, all of you, soon we can start. '' John said as those assembled cheered .
