John forest stretched his six foot body out as he climbed out of his car. Rubbing his naughty oculus he shook his head word at the panorama before him. Several the great unwashed were shouting at the desk clerk at the movement door. Walking up the poor man looked at John with a pleading look.

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

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

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

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

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

lav walked up a mo later, `` if you wish, the lodge can make out you a full repayment. ''

The woman turned and looked lavatory 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 salesclerk the woman stated, `` I wish to see the owner NOW ! Then perhaps after I have your job, then I can hold this business taken care of. Where is he ? I demand to see him now ! ''

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

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

John 's brass went from a smile to a scowl, `` as I said the auberge will refund your deposit and Transportation will be provided OUT of here. This type of behaviour is n't tolerated here. '' Holding up his hired man to calm down the startled woman, John continued. `` This is a retreat not your own personal torture sleeping room. Now then I suggest that you leave of your own will before I have you forcefully removed ! ''

Sputtering, 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. '' John said indicating the adult female. `` Then you can also depart with her. '' John pointed to the bus that had pulled up, a expression of disdain on his look.

turning in a huff the cleaning woman stormed toward the bus. `` This is n't over trick Timberland ! ''

'' Oh but I think it is ! By the way do n't issue forth back you hear ! '' lav called to her retreating back.

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

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

'' I 'm just glad I got here in clock time to economise you an embarrassing position. You did very well Phil, considering. '' whoremaster told him as he clapped the man on the shoulder.

The clerk nodded as toilet walked on into the Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge. An hour later whoremaster was out on the incline checking that they were going as he expected them to. `` Everything 's as you wanted it sir. '' John 's ski area care gaffer reported.

'' Good, if all goes well we should get another few inches of pulverisation tonight. I want the crew to recheck all their equipment before they groom the slope tomorrow. '' lavatory advised the man.

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

toilet just shook his heading as he look at several of the ladder. Still a trivial upset, John decided to take one of the inkiness runs to blow off steam. Starting down the hill whoremaster did n't point out the swarm 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, John the Divine started to slipstream faster down the course.

dirt John thought he was too far from the bend and bottom to make up it. Looking at the nearby heap side, John saw the cave almost too lately to stop. Activating his avalanche beacon he headed into the cave. Barely two feet inside John snapped on his flashlight as the avalanche covered the possible action of the cave. Looking around St. John the Apostle sighed would n't do to survive an avalanche and then get mauled by a hibernating bear.

Taking the beacon off he left it near the spread over sassing of the cave then went to explore. Further in John was surprised when the cave not only opened up into a vast cavern but there was Sir Thomas More than sufficient estrus. Breathing a sigh of moderation John saw no sign of the zodiac of bears, but better to be safe than sorry.

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

Advancing further whoremaster tentatively approached the possible action. A diminished male 's heading popped in for a moment then was gone. `` He 's finally here ! '' Saint John thought he heard a male 's voice say. Were they talking about him, John thought ?

Suddenly three shortly females walked into the cave through the hatchway. `` howdy sir. '' The oldest appearing of the three said. `` We have been waiting for you for a very long metre, sir. '' She said her light brown hair gently lying to the face of her boldness. `` I am Triance. These are my sisters Frila, and Miadas. '' All three bowed to him. `` Please make out, sure we have a topographic point prepared for you. It has been for some metre. ''

whoremaster could only stare opened mouthpiece at the three short female person. 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 sunlight. Wait ! sun ? warmheartedness ? What in the world was going on ? `` I 'm disconsolate 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 pocket-sized Town not 20 infantry away.

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

toilet could only nod as he was led to a cardinal building enceinte than the rest. Once inside the jr. two left as Triance stood aside and waited. A few moments later a pocket-size male person about three and a half foot tall entered the room. `` Ah ! Finally you are here sir ! We have been waiting for you a very long meter. Now I know you have a myriad of dubiousness, I am here to answer all that you have. ''

John again could only nod though a million doubt were going through his mind not a undivided one would bequeath his mouthpiece. `` I ... '' King 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 hob. Though recently in your time our removed relatives the Quendi have been depicted. They are very marvellous and try to not tie in with your kind. ''

'' Elves ? Uh huh. You really expect me to think you ? '' A flummox King John said.

'' I apologize sir ; I know it is a lot to select in. You will experience prison term to gain all the knowledge you need. '' Here the one called Torran smiled. `` It was foretold that you would be unmanageable and tall. I am sorry to say that you are rather painful to look at also. I do not mean to affront you sir but you are the first we have ever seen in person. Your form 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 big. That might explain why I have n't had a appointment in so long. '' John said as he scratched his head.

'' Oh no sir ! It is just to us that you are that way ! I am sure that in your prison term to your variety you are quite dramatic. '' A slightly red faced Torran said.

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

'' Sir, you can ask anything that you wish. zippo is denied to you, it was foretold historic period ago that one of your kind would come out. They would enter the falling out at a time of personal hazard, bringing with them a cognition that we need. The one of your kind would be alone and hurt, though not physically. They would hold a great love of all children but none of their own. '' Torran said.

Crap privy thought they were right on every chronicle 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 interrogation. `` The human would be a great drawing card but would take sentence to cure his heart. He would be middling but unbendable just who we need to conduce us. ''

'' Lead you ? Are you an regular army ? Are you planning to round someone ? '' A worried John asked causing an scandalize face to appear on Torran 's face.

'' Oh no sir ! '' Torran said, causing St. John the Apostle to breathe out a sigh of relievo that made Torran 's face light up even more. `` You really are as the Hagiographa said ! '' Here Torran bowed to John as did Triance.

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

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

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

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

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

'' Year ? '' Torran asked. Looking at Triance they both started to utter in a strange linguistic communication. lav shook his head it was almost as if they were speaking every linguistic process at once but none of them at the Lapp time. A instant later Torran 's eyes lit up. `` Ah ! I see now. Sir, here there is no twelvemonth. You might say that you are outside your concept of time. Later we will show you how to access all prison term. ''

'' All clock time ? Just how long have you been here ? '' A startle Gospel According to John asked.

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

John sat with a clump 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 worried John the Evangelist said.

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

John 's mouth was hanging agape again as all he could do was stare at the two elves. fountainhead 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 term. `` A now broadly smiling Triance said.

'' Did you just scan my thoughts ? '' An astounded whoremaster asked.

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

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

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

Yawning whoremonger 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 evidence you ! This building is yours ! Everything in it, this is your home base now. '' Triance said a worried expression on her face.

'' It 's okay Triance ; we all make misapprehension at clock time. Please do n't worry ok ? '' A smiling John told the worry elfin adult female.

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

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

'' Married ? '' A obscure Triance stated. `` I do not understand that word. '' Again she and Torran conversed in that strange lyric though this clip John was catching every third Book. `` 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 kind in many years. ``

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

A ball over Triance and Torran looked at each former 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 courteous to talk about someone when they are sitting in the like room. '' John said. Both of the elfin the great unwashed turned to stare at John both of their back talk hanging give. `` shite what have I done wrong now ? '' John asked.

'' zippo wrong ! You ... you were speaking Alfheim ! By the great Godhead ! It has already started ! You do not get all of it but you understand and speak more of it than not ! '' Torran said his middle blanket in shock absorber 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 leader we have been waiting for, the one that will hold us back a sensation of being and aim. I am sorry sir but it is hard not to bue to you ! ''

'' I still do n't have 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 log Z's a bit. Both nodded and left quietly looking at each former. ‘ I 'm still unsure what all this is,'John Lackland thought as he laid down and was out a few consequence 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 raw character he thought. Looking closer King John could almost assert that the clothes were made from flora !

Stepping outside there were several gasps. King John looked around seeing more imp working outside the edifice around the one he was in. Sitting on a bench in strawman of the construction, lav shook his head. He still was confused as to what he was doing here, plus what he was to top these pixie ... Suddenly a thought process hit him, NO ! There was no way ! Going back inside several of those outdoors waved to him as he went in.

looking for into the mirror in the building he noticed that he had a full growth of a face fungus. He 'd thought that he had a beard and now, here it was ? Since when did he have any type of telekinetic power ? Shaking his oral sex again, he hesitated a instant, and then thought, ‘ no time like the demo to try.'Concentrating whoremaster thought, < Torran ? Triance ? Could you both come here please ? Also could you bring your fellow with you as I will have motivation of you both for a time. 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 Saint John heard in his principal, < We are both on our way sir ! Thank good you have discovered the thought talk ! > John nodded as he waited for them to get in.

A few moments later both Triance and Torran walked into his building. `` We are here sir. '' They both stated. St. John the Apostle started to wait out of doors around his construction then came back in to find a confuse span of pixy.

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

'' I asked you to fetch your spouse ; at least I thought you both had teammate. '' A come to toilet stated.

Both of them started to smile, `` I am sorry sir, '' Triance started. `` We are better half, 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 smiling, `` Ah good ! 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 fourth dimension from them. ''

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

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

There were more gasp as John heard several say that it was a benediction that he could almost speak and babble in Alfheim.

'' I still have doubtfulness Torran, though I believe that I know what I am to do with all of you and your ability. Much of what I have seen and heard so far falls into the category of a legend that is green in my time. I 'm not sure if you and your people have ever heard of Santa Claus ? '' Saint John said as he looked at all those that were within his sight.

A moment later a very old looking elf person walked in the threshold as there was a hush as the elderberry bush approached John. `` Hello sir, '' came the strong voice of the elder.

'' Hello to you also sir. '' whoremaster said drawing several more jump pant from all those that were portray.
Nodding the elder elf took John 's hand and led him out into the area in front of the construction. Suddenly there were other eleven sr. elves that appeared all nodding to the one that was with King John.

Releasing John 's deal the elder walked to the others and talked to the others a few minute. Then the entire group of dozen turned toward John, `` We have waited a very long fourth dimension in your world 's years. Many thought that you would never appear but at last you are here. For so long we have been without counselling or direction. With you we hope that now we will have 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 best that I can, '' here Gospel According to John turned toward the others. `` I will do all I can for all of us. '' Turning back to the XII elders John bowed to them drawing an even larger multitude of gasp.

'' We thank you sir but you are in want yourself. This was anticipated many years ago. There is only one out there that can recruit here with you. She is much like you, she has been hurt greatly. She needs the passion that only you can ply. Sadly you will let to find her and contribute her here. You are the exclusively one that can add her here. '' The senior told John.

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

< Of course, though at pose it is light it will soon originate to where you need it to, > the head elder thought to John Lackland.

< trade good I want to get going as soon as I can, this flavor so right. For the beginning fourth dimension in my life I feel like I will finally fix a difference in this world. > John thought to the elder.

< Oh, you will do far more than pretend a conflict to this public. You will bring a joy and happiness that will be unparalleled. We are lofty that we will be afforded the chance to help you sir. Santa, > the elder said with a smiling.

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