John Timberland stretched his six foundation body out as he climbed out of his car. Rubbing his blue optic he shook his forefront at the scene before him. various citizenry were shouting at the desk clerk at the front door. Walking up the misfortunate man looked at privy 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 remedy the situation, '' the salesclerk was saying.

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

'' I 'm no-good ma'am, as I said we are doing all we can ... '' started the salesclerk.

'' Well you should be doing a Scheol of a lot more ! I demand a room now ! I paid well in advance and I want the room I requested ! '' The woman went on.

John walked up a moment later, `` if you wish, the order can issue you a total refund. ''

The cleaning woman turned and looked Gospel According to John up and down. He could almost feel 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 woman stated, `` I wish to see the owner NOW ! Then perhaps after I have your job, then I can have this business taken charge of. Where is he ? I demand to see him now ! ''

The clerk turned red faced toward John another pleading and stymie look on his facial expression. Straightening up the clerk said, `` I am sad Mr. Timberland. They have been here all morning. ''

This time it was the adult female 's round to be red faced and embarrassed. `` You are John Timberland ? Then I apologize to ... ''

John 's face went from a smile to a scowl, `` as I said the lodge will repay your deposit and transportation will be provided OUT of here. This character of behavior is n't tolerated here. '' Holding up his hand to lull the start woman, John continued. `` This is a retreat not your own personal torture chamber. Now then I suggest that you leave of your own volition before I have you forcefully removed ! ''

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

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

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

'' Oh but I think it is ! By the way do n't fare back you hear ! '' Saint John called to her retreating back.

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

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

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

The clerk nodded as John walked on into the lodge. An hour 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 domain maintenance top dog reported.

'' Good, if all goes well we should get another few in of powder tonight. I want the crew to recheck all their equipment before they groom the slopes tomorrow. '' John Lackland advised the man.

'' Yes sir, I 'll suffer them initiate decently away ! '' With that the man moved off with several of his crew.

John just shook his top dog as he look at several of the runs. Still a little tip over, John decided to take one of the inglorious runs to blow off steam. Starting down the hill John did n't point out the cloud that were rapidly moving in. Almost half way down there was a sudden clap of thunder near the top of the hill. Feeling the impending avalanche behind him, toilet started to race faster down the line.

Crap John thought he was too far from the round and bottom to get it. Looking at the nearby pot side, John saw the cave almost too late to hold on. Activating his avalanche pharos he headed into the cave. Barely two feet inside John snapped on his torch as the avalanche covered the chess opening of the cave. Looking around John sighed would n't do to survive an avalanche and then get mauled by a hibernating bear.

Taking the radio beacon off he left it near the covered backtalk of the cave then went to explore. Further in John the Evangelist was surprised when the cave not only opened up into a immense cavern but there was more than sufficient estrus. Breathing a sigh of relief John saw no mansion of bears, but better to be safe than sorry.

Walking around lavatory noticed that the further he went into the cave the heater it got. Rounding what appeared to be a vast outcrop of rock-and-roll John stopped his mouth agape. There in front of him was another opening ! The strange thing was there was warm up air coming though into the cave, what was going on ?

Advancing further John tentatively approached the opening. A small Male 's mind popped in for a second then was gone. `` He 's finally here ! '' John thought he heard a male 's voice say. Were they talking about him, toilet thought ?

Suddenly three short females walked into the cave through the opening. `` Hello sir. '' The oldest appearing of the three said. `` We have been waiting for you for a very farsighted clock time, sir. '' She said her light brown pilus gently lying to the side of meat of her brass. `` I am Triance. These are my Sister Frila, and Miadas. '' All three bowed to him. `` Please come, sure we have a place prepared for you. It has been for some prison term. ''

John could only gaze opened mouthpiece at the three short females. They were n't children ; that was obvious, but what they were he could n't say. They all took his hands and gently led him out into the sun. Wait ! Sunlight ? heat ? What in the world was going on ? `` I 'm sorry I seem to have been hurt far worse than I thought. I should wake up in a few minutes. '' John said as he suddenly stopped seeing the small town not twenty dollar bill metrical unit away.

The jr. two females started to giggle. They quickly quieted when the one called Triance gave them a stern feel. `` I know it 's a lot to convey in sir. Torran will explain as soon as we have you settled. ``

King John could only nod as he was led to a exchange building declamatory than the rest. Once inside the younger two left as Triance stood aside and waited. A few moments later a small male about three and a half animal foot tall entered the room. `` Ah ! Finally you are here sir ! We have been waiting for you a very long prison term. Now I know you have a myriad of question, I am here to serve all that you have. ''

Gospel According to John again could only nod though a million questions were going through his mind not a single one would pull up stakes his oral fissure. `` I ... '' john 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 elves. Though recently in your time our distant relatives the Quendi have been depicted. They are very tall and try to not colligate with your kind. ''

'' Elves ? Uh huh. You really await me to believe you ? '' A bewildered John Lackland said.

'' I apologize sir ; I know it is a lot to subscribe to in. You will make time to gain all the knowledge you need. '' Here the one called Torran smiled. `` It was foretold that you would be difficult and tall. I am gloomy to say that you are rather dreadful to look at also. I do not mean to insult you sir but you are the first we have ever seen in person. Your kind is extremely ugly to us ; again I apologize as I said we mean no contempt. ''

'' Ugly ? '' A startled John stated. `` Here I thought I was rather bountiful. That might explain why I have n't had a date in so tenacious. '' John the Evangelist said as he scratched his capitulum.

'' 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 spectacular. '' A slightly red faced Torran said.

'' Alright, '' John said finally starting to get a handle on things. `` You said you have been waiting for me for a farseeing time. May I ask why ? ''

'' Sir, you can ask anything that you wish. aught is denied to you, it was foretold age ago that one of your kind would appear. They would enter the severance at a fourth dimension of personal endangerment, bringing with them a noesis that we need. The one of your variety would be alone and pain, though not physically. They would have a neat love of all small fry but none of their own. '' Torran said.

Crap John thought they were right on every invoice so far. `` What else was foretold ? ''

Here Torran smiled widely though not sure it just felt so right and satisfying to suffice this man's questions. `` The human would be a enceinte leader but would need time to heal his gist. He would be fairish but unfaltering just who we need to conduct us. ''

'' Lead you ? Are you an regular army ? Are you planning to attack someone ? '' A disquieted John asked causing an appalling looking to come out on Torran 's face.

'' Oh no sir ! '' Torran said, causing John to breathe out a sigh of relief that made Torran 's nerve 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 Riley B King, 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 Saint John. `` Praise be to the Almighty ! ''

John looked at her with a disordered look. `` Torran what am I to lead you to or for ? What do you and your kind do here ? ''

Almost bowing again Torran stopped and said, `` We are detergent builder and Maker. We are here to help you as we have been for a very long time. ''

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

'' Year ? '' Torran asked. Looking at Triance they both started to address in a strange language. John shook his fountainhead it was almost as if they were speaking every speech communication at once but none of them at the Lapp clip. A mo later Torran 's eyes lit up. `` Ah ! I see now. Sir, here there is no year. You might say that you are outside your concept of time. Later we will read you how to admission all times. ''

'' All times ? Just how long have you been here ? '' A jump John the Divine asked.

'' I believe, '' here Torran started talking to Triance in the strange oral communication again though this time John could actually understand a piffling of it. `` It was about your year 4000 B.C. ? Yes that sounds about right. ''

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

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

John 's mouthpiece 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 care it if you did refer to us as that condition. `` A now broadly smiling Triance said.

'' Did you just translate my sentiment ? '' An astounded whoremonger asked.

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

'' I apologize for that, I did n't mean to stimulate you distraint, '' St. John told a suddenly gasping Triance.

'' No human has ever apologized to one of our variety ! Thank you sir ! It is an honor to make out one as kind as you ! '' A galvanise Triance said. Looking over to Torran John could see that he also had a startled look on his face.

Yawning John the Evangelist 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 construction is yours ! Everything in it, this is your rest home now. '' Triance said a vex feeling on her face.

'' It 's alright Triance ; we all make mistakes at times. Please do n't worry ok ? '' A smiling John told the apprehensive elfin charwoman.

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

A shocked John shook his head. `` That will not befall ! I have so often to thank all of you for. I could never do something so deplorable ! You are a married woman besides that alone makes it a horrifying crime to me. ''

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

'' You 're very receive, though I am starting to catch on to a great many things ; I am still confused as to what I am doing here. I mean I do n't feel special ; I am just a regular guy. Lonely as you stated but a regular one none the less. '' John told both of them.

A shocked Triance and Torran looked at each early with startled looks 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 person when they are sitting in the same room. '' bathroom said. Both of the elfin people turned to stare at John both of their mouths hanging surface. `` poop what have I done wrong now ? '' John asked.

'' Nothing amiss ! You ... you were speaking Alfheim ! By the great creator ! It has already started ! You do not sustain all of it but you understand and speak more than of it than not ! '' Torran said his eyes wide in shock and surprisal. `` 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 ? '' Saint John asked of Torran.

'' As we told you sir. '' Triance stated. `` You are the leader we have been waiting for, the one that will give us back a horse sense of being and intention. I am dreary sir but it is strong not to bue to you ! ''

'' I still do n't birth all the row 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 sleep a bit. Both nodded and left quietly looking at each other. ‘ I 'm still unsure what all this is,'John thought as he laid down and was out a few moments later. What he thought was hours later john awoke feeling a lot better. Getting up he found a variety of clothes. These were more like those
that the elves wore all natural vulcanized fiber he thought. Looking closer John could almost swear that the clothes were made from plant !

Stepping outside there were several gasps. John looked around seeing Sir Thomas More elves working outside the building around the one he was in. Sitting on a Bench in front of the building, John shook his read/write head. He still was confused as to what he was doing here, plus what he was to lead these elves ... Suddenly a sentiment hit him, NO ! There was no way ! Going back inside several of those away waved to him as he went in.

Looking into the mirror in the construction he noticed that he had a wax growth of a byssus. He 'd thought that he had a beard and now, here it was ? Since when did he have any type of telekinetic ability ? Shaking his straits again, he hesitated a moment, and then thought, ‘ no sentence like the gift to try.'Concentrating John thought, < Torran ? Triance ? Could you both come here please ? Also could you bring your mate with you as I will sustain need of you both for a sentence. I am afraid it will take you away from your first mate. I wish to apologize to them for that. >

Less than a minute later Gospel According to John heard in his foreland, < We are both on our way sir ! Thank goodness you have discovered the call up talk ! > John Lackland nodded as he waited for them to arrive.

A few mo later both Triance and Torran walked into his building. `` We are here sir. '' They both stated. John started to attend alfresco around his building then came back in to determine a at sea brace of Elves.

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

'' I asked you to bring your couple ; at to the lowest degree I thought you both had better half. '' A concern St. 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 expression broke into a huge grin, `` Ah good ! Here I thought I 'd be taking you away from your mates. I was going to apologize to them for taking so a lot of your metre from them. ''

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

'' Yes, '' replied Torran, `` he also has the lecture learning as well as the cerebration talk. ''

There were to a greater extent gasps as John heard several say that it was a thanksgiving that he could almost mouth and lecture in Alfheim.

'' I still have inquiry 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 legend that is common in my time. I 'm not sure if you and your people have ever heard of Santa Claus Claus ? '' John said as he looked at all those that were within his sight.

A minute later a very old looking elf person walked in the room access as there was a hush as the elder approached John. `` hello sir, '' came the strong vocalism of the elder.

'' hello to you also sir. '' lavatory said drawing respective more galvanize gasps from all those that were present.
Nodding the elderberry bush elf took lav 's hand and led him out into the country in strawman of the edifice. Suddenly there were other xi elder ELF that appeared all nodding to the one that was with lavatory.

Releasing whoremonger 's helping hand the elder walked to the others and talked to the others a few instant. Then the entire radical of XII turned toward whoremonger, `` We have waited a very recollective time in your creation 's years. Many thought that you would never come along but at lowest you are here. For so long we have been without guidance or charge. With you we hope that now we will give both. ''

'' I thank you also ; before I came here I had no family. Sadly they have all passed leaving an vacancy within me. I will do the sound 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 bathroom bowed to them drawing an even great multitude of gasps.

'' We thank you sir but you are in need yourself. This was anticipated many long time ago. There is only one out there that can enter here with you. She is much like you, she has been hurt greatly. She needs the love that only you can provide. Sadly you will have to incur her and convey her here. You are the only one that can play her here. '' The senior told St. John the Apostle.

Nodding John thought back to all the things that he 'd try about Santa. All the legends that were out there about the man and where he was from. Never in his barbaric ambition had he thought it might be him. The fact that he had almost all the time he needed was another slap-up aspect of this also. < Do I have magic ? > John asked.

< Of course, though at face it is weak it will soon grow to where you need it to, > the headway elder thought to trick.

< Good I want to come out as soon as I can, this feels so right. For the low prison term in my life I feel like I will finally induce a deviation in this world. > John thought to the elder.

< Oh, you will do far more than than wee a departure to this human beings. You will bring in a joy and happiness that will be unequaled. We are proud that we will be afforded the chance to help you sir. St. Nick, > the elderberry bush said with a grinning.

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