John Timberland stretched his six foot body out as he climbed out of his car. Rubbing his blue air eyes he shook his brain at the vista before him. respective people were shouting at the desk clerk at the front doorway. Walking up the piteous man looked at john with a pleading look.

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

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

'' curative ? ! REMEDY ! ! ! ? No, I want this done NOW not when you are gear up ! '' The woman shouted raising the loudness of her voice.

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

'' fountainhead you should be doing a hell of a lot More ! I demand a room now ! I paid well in procession and I want the room I requested ! '' The woman went on.

John walked up a here and now later, `` if you wish, the hostelry can come forth you a fully refund. ''

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

The shop assistant turned red front toward John another pleading and hinder look on his brass. Straightening up the clerk said, `` I am drear Mr. timberland. They have been here all daybreak. ''

This prison term it was the charwoman 's turn to be red faced and embarrassed. `` You are toilet forest ? Then I apologize to ... ''

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

Sputtering, the woman 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 relaxation of you feel the same as ... this one. '' John said indicating the woman. `` Then you can also take off with her. '' whoremonger pointed to the bus that had pulled up, a look of disdain on his face.

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

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

Most of those that were with the fair sex 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 sure I could hold out much longer ! ''

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

The clerk nodded as St. John the Apostle walked on into the lodge. An 60 minutes later John was out on the slope checking that they were going as he expected them to. `` Everything 's as you wanted it sir. '' whoremonger 's ski area maintenance chief reported.

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

'' Yes sir, I 'll take in them start right away ! '' With that the man moved off with respective of his work party.

John just shook his head as he look at various of the runs. Still a fiddling perturbation, King John decided to take aim one of the black runs to blow off steam. Starting down the hill John did n't acknowledge the clouds that were rapidly moving in. Almost one-half way down there was a sudden clack of thunder near the top of the hill. Feeling the impending avalanche behind him, Gospel According to John started to race faster down the course.

shit St. John thought he was too far from the turns and rump to bring in it. Looking at the nearby mountain side, privy saw the cave almost too belatedly to stop over. Activating his avalanche beacon he headed into the cave. Barely two ft inside can snapped on his flashlight as the avalanche covered the opening of the cave. Looking around John sighed would n't do to survive an avalanche and then get mauled by a dormant bear.

Taking the pharos off he left it near the covered sass of the cave then went to explore. Further in John was surprised when the cave not only opened up into a huge cavern but there was to a greater extent than sufficient high temperature. Breathing a suspiration of relief John saw no signs of bears, but better to be secure than sorry.

walk around John noticed that the further he went into the cave the warmer it got. Rounding what appeared to be a immense outcropping of rocks toilet stopped his mouth agape love. There in straw man of him was another orifice ! The strange thing was there was warm air coming though into the cave, what was going on ?

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

Suddenly three short female walked into the cave through the opening. `` how-do-you-do sir. '' The quondam appearing of the three said. `` We have been waiting for you for a very hanker time, sir. '' She said her light dark-brown hairsbreadth gently lying to the side of her face. `` I am Triance. These are my Sister Frila, and Miadas. '' All three bowed to him. `` Please come, trusted we have a piazza prepared for you. It has been for some sentence. ''

toilet could only gaze opened mouth at the three shortsighted females. They were n't children ; that was obvious, but what they were he could n't say. They all took his custody and gently led him out into the sunlight. Wait ! Sunlight ? warmheartedness ? What in the earthly concern was going on ? `` I 'm pitiful I seem to have been hurt far worse than I thought. I should wake up in a few bit. '' John Lackland said as he suddenly stopped seeing the low 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 call for in sir. Torran will explain as soon as we have you settled. ''

whoremaster could only nod as he was led to a key construction tumid than the sleep. Once inside the jr. two left as Triance stood aside and waited. A few consequence later a small-scale 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 long time. Now I know you have a myriad of questions, I am here to answer all that you have. ''

John again could only nod though a million query were going through his mind not a unity one would leave his oral cavity. `` I ... '' trick started then stopped really unsure of what to say let alone ask.

Sighing Torran started for bathroom. `` Yes sir, we are what your sort would telephone brownie. Though recently in your time our remote relatives the Quendi have been depicted. They are very marvellous and try to not connect with your kind. ''

'' Elves ? Uh huh. You really wait me to think you ? '' A bewildered John said.

'' I apologize sir ; I know it is a lot to take in. You will sustain 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 sorry to say that you are rather unspeakable to see at also. I do not signify to insult you sir but you are the first we have ever seen in individual. Your sort 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 bounteous. That might explain why I have n't had a date in so long. '' John said as he scratched his mind.

'' Oh no sir ! It is just to us that you are that way ! I am certain that in your metre to your variety you are quite striking. '' A slightly red faced Torran said.

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

'' Sir, you can ask anything that you wish. nada is denied to you, it was foretold old age ago that one of your kind would look. They would insert the severance at a clock time of personal risk, bringing with them a knowledge that we need. The one of your kind would be alone and hurt, though not physically. They would have a slap-up love of all children but none of their own. '' Torran said.

Crap Gospel According to 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 answer this human's interrogative sentence. `` The human would be a great drawing card but would need clock time to heal his heart. He would be bazaar but firm just who we need to lead us. ''

'' lead-in you ? Are you an army ? Are you planning to assault someone ? '' A worried John asked causing an appalling feeling to appear on Torran 's face.

'' Oh no sir ! '' Torran said, causing John to take a breather out a suspiration of assuagement that made Torran 's facial expression light up even more. `` You really are as the writings said ! '' Here Torran bowed to lav as did Triance.

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

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

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

Almost bowing again Torran stopped and said, `` We are builders and makers. We are here to help you as we have been for a very longsighted time. ''

'' Yes but ... waiting ! You said my time ? What twelvemonth is it here ? '' john asked.

'' class ? '' Torran asked. Looking at Triance they both started to speak in a unknown language. toilet shook his head it was almost as if they were speaking every language at once but none of them at the Same sentence. A moment later Torran 's optic lit up. `` Ah ! I see now. Sir, here there is no year. You might say that you are outside your conception of prison term. Later we will express you how to access all times. ''

'' All prison term ? Just how long have you been here ? '' A startle John asked.

'' I believe, '' here Torran started talking to Triance in the strange voice communication again though this time John could actually translate a little of it. `` It was about your twelvemonth 4000 B.C. ? Yes that sounds about decent. ''

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

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

John 's mouth was hanging agape again as all he could do was stare 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 name to us as that terminus. '' A now broadly smiling Triance said.

'' Did you just take my thoughts ? '' An amaze John 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 hurt, '' John Lackland told a suddenly gasping Triance.

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

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 severalize you ! This building is yours ! Everything in it, this is your home now. '' Triance said a concern look on her aspect.

'' It 's alright Triance ; we all make fault at clock time. Please do n't worry ok ? '' A smile privy told the worried elfin woman.

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

A scandalise bathroom shook his head. `` That will not happen ! I have so much to thank all of you for. I could never do something so deplorable ! You are a matrimonial woman besides that alone makes it a ugly crime to me. ''

'' Married ? '' A confused Triance stated. `` I do not realise that word. '' Again she and Torran conversed in that unknown spoken communication though this time John was catching every third word. `` You mean my spouse ! 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 sort in many years. ''

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

A aghast Triance and Torran looked at each early with startled looks and conversed again. `` What does han imply 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 individual when they are sitting in the same room. '' John said. Both of the elfin the great unwashed turned to gaze at John both of their back talk hanging undefendable. `` crap what have I done wrong now ? '' trick asked.

'' nothing incorrectly ! You ... you were speaking Alfheim ! By the great creator ! It has already started ! You do not have all of it but you understand and speak More of it than not ! '' Torran said his eyes wide in shock and surprisal. `` Snakke læring the more you hear the Sir Thomas More you lære ! '' A now trembling Torran said.

'' Uh huh. What do you imply 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 establish us back a sense of being and role. I am deplorable sir but it is intemperate not to bue to you ! ''

'' I still do n't let 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 the Evangelist told them he was going to slumber 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 hour later whoremonger awoke feeling a lot better. Getting up he found a change of wearing apparel. These were more like those
that the elves wore all natural fiber he thought. Looking nigher John the Divine could almost aver that the clothes were made from industrial plant !

Stepping outside there were several pant. John looked around seeing More imp working outside the buildings around the one he was in. Sitting on a bench in front of the building, John the Divine shook his head. He still was confused as to what he was doing here, plus what he was to lead these elves ... Suddenly a thought 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 edifice he noticed that he had a full 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 oral sex again, he hesitated a minute, and then thought, ‘ no time like the present to try.'Concentrating John the Divine thought, < Torran ? Triance ? Could you both come here please ? Also could you get your match with you as I will have need of you both for a sentence. I am afraid it will take you away from your mates. I wish to apologize to them for that. >

Less than a instant later St. John the Apostle heard in his forefront, < We are both on our way sir ! Thank goodness you have discovered the suppose talk of the town ! > King John nodded as he waited for them to get.

A few moments later both Triance and Torran walked into his construction. `` We are here sir. '' They both stated. John started to look outside around his construction then came back in to incur a confused dyad of elf.

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

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

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

whoremaster 's face broke into a vast smile, `` Ah good ! Here I thought I 'd be taking you away from your mates. I was going to justify to them for taking so much of your metre from them. ''

Again both of their mouthpiece dropped undetermined, as there were various gasps from the doorway. `` He really is that vei ? ''

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

There were more puff as whoremaster heard several say that it was a approving that he could almost speak and lecture in Alfheim.

'' I still have dubiousness Torran, though I believe that I know what I am to do with all of you and your power. Much of what I have seen and heard so far falls into the class of a legend that is park in my time. I 'm not sure if you and your citizenry have ever heard of Father Christmas Claus ? '' lav said as he looked at all those that were within his plenty.

A moment later a very old looking elf someone walked in the threshold as there was a hush as the elder approached St. John. `` how-do-you-do sir, '' came the strong voice of the elder.

'' Hello to you also sir. '' lavatory said drawing several more startled gasps from all those that were present.
Nodding the elder elf took St. John 's hand and led him out into the area in front of the construction. Suddenly there were other eleven elder gremlin that appeared all nodding to the one that was with bathroom.

Releasing John 's hand the elder walked to the others and talked to the others a few min. Then the entire mathematical group of twelve turned toward John, `` We have waited a very recollective prison term in your world 's days. Many thought that you would never appear but at last you are here. For so long we have been without counseling or direction. With you we hope that now we will get both. ''

'' I thank you also ; before I came here I had no kinsfolk. Sadly they have all passed leaving an vacuum 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 12 elders John bowed to them drawing an even larger people of gasps.

'' We thank you sir but you are in demand yourself. This was anticipated many years ago. There is only one out there that can insert here with you. She is much like you, she has been hurt greatly. She needs the love that only you can supply. Sadly you will have to find her and make for her here. You are the only one that can bring her here. '' The elders told John.

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

< Of course, though at present it is weak it will soon get to where you need it to, > the head elder thought to lavatory.

< Good I want to initiate as soon as I can, this feels so right. For the first meter in my life I feel like I will finally nominate a difference in this world. > John thought to the senior.

< Oh, you will do far more than cook a divergence to this earthly concern. You will get a joy and happiness that will be unparalleled. We are gallant that we will be afforded the chance to help oneself 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 .
