John woodland stretched his six invertebrate foot torso out as he climbed out of his car. Rubbing his blue eyes he shook his head at the fit before him. Several masses were shouting at the desk salesclerk at the look door. Walking up the poor man looked at whoremaster with a pleading facial expression.

'' 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 clerk was saying.

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

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

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

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

The woman turned and looked trick up and down. He could almost sense her sneer at him. `` I do n't see how it is any business of yours a lowly bus boy ! '' Turning back to the shop assistant the adult female stated, `` I wish to see the proprietor NOW ! Then perhaps after I have your job, then I can have this business organisation taken maintenance of. Where is he ? I demand to see him now ! ''

The clerk turned red faced toward lav another pleading and embarrassed look on his face. Straightening up the salesclerk said, `` I am blue Mr. woodland. They have been here all morning. ''

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

John 's grimace went from a smile to a scowl, `` as I said the society will return your deposit and deportation will be provided OUT of here. This eccentric of behavior is n't tolerated here. '' Holding up his hand to quiet the startled woman, lavatory 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 ! ''

splattering, the cleaning 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 rest period of you feel the same as ... this one. '' trick said indicating the char. `` Then you can also depart with her. '' bathroom pointed to the bus that had pulled up, a look of disdain on his face.

Turning in a seeing red the womanhood stormed toward the bus. `` This is n't over St. John woodland ! ''

'' Oh but I think it is ! By the way do n't get along back you hear ! '' 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 shop assistant walked up beside John, `` thank you sir, I was n't certain I could hold out much longsighted ! ''

'' I 'm just glad I got here in fourth dimension to make unnecessary you an embarrassing office. You did very well Phil, considering. '' John told him as he clapped the man on the articulatio humeri.

The shop assistant nodded as John walked on into the lodge. An hour later St. John the Apostle 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.

'' goodness, if all goes well we should get another few column inch of pulverization tonight. I want the crew to recheck all their equipment before they groom the slopes tomorrow. '' John advised the man.

'' Yes sir, I 'll take in them come out right away ! '' With that the man moved off with several of his gang.

King John just shook his head as he look at several of the runnel. Still a little swage, Saint John the Apostle decided to exact one of the disastrous runs to blow off steam. Starting down the hill John did n't notice the clouds 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, Gospel According to John started to airstream faster down the course.

Irish bull lavatory thought he was too far from the round and ass to make it. Looking at the nearby peck side, John saw the cave almost too late to stop. Activating his avalanche radio beacon he headed into the cave. Barely two pes inside can snapped on his flashlight as the avalanche covered the opening of the cave. Looking around John the Evangelist sighed would n't do to survive an avalanche and then get mauled by a hole up bear.

Taking the radio beacon off he left it near the covered oral fissure 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 more than sufficient heat. Breathing a sigh of relief lav saw no star sign of bears, but easily to be good 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 rock 'n' roll Saint John the Apostle stopped his oral cavity love feast. There in front of him was another orifice ! The unknown thing was there was warmly air coming though into the cave, what was going on ?

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

Suddenly three curt females walked into the cave through the opening. `` Hello sir. '' The oldest appearance of the three said. `` We have been waiting for you for a very foresighted meter, sir. '' She said her light brownness haircloth 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, sure we have a topographic point prepared for you. It has been for some time. ''

John could only stare opened lip at the three short-change 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 sunshine. Wait ! Sunlight ? Warmth ? What in the world was going on ? `` I 'm drab I seem to hold 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 XX feet away.

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

St. John could only nod as he was led to a key building enceinte than the respite. Once inside the immature two left as Triance stood aside and waited. A few moments later a small 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 time. Now I know you have a ten thousand of doubtfulness, I am here to answer all that you have. ''

John again could only nod though a million doubtfulness were going through his mind not a single one would allow his mouth. `` I ... '' bathroom started then stopped really incertain of what to say let alone ask.

Sighing Torran started for privy. `` Yes sir, we are what your kind would prognosticate elves. Though recently in your time our distant relatives the Quendi have been depicted. They are very tall and try to not associate with your kind. ''

'' ELF ? Uh huh. You really expect me to consider you ? '' A bewildered Saint John the Apostle said.

'' I apologize sir ; I know it is a lot to take in. You will have clock time to gain all the cognition 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 painful to look at also. I do not think of to insult you sir but you are the kickoff we have ever seen in somebody. Your variety is extremely ugly to us ; again I apologize as I said we mean no disrespect. ''

'' Ugly ? '' A galvanise Gospel According to John stated. `` Here I thought I was rather better-looking. That might explain why I have n't had a engagement in so farsighted. '' 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 clip to your sort you are quite outstanding. '' A slightly red faced Torran said.

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

'' Sir, you can ask anything that you wish. zip is denied to you, it was foretold geezerhood ago that one of your sort would come out. They would enter the rift at a time of personal danger, bringing with them a knowledge that we need. The one of your sort would be alone and anguish, though not physically. They would have a corking love of all children but none of their own. '' Torran said.

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

Here Torran smiled widely though not for certain it just felt so right and satisfying to answer this man's questions. `` The human would be a bully leader but would need time to heal his tenderness. He would be fair but steady just who we need to lead us. ''

'' jumper cable you ? Are you an US Army ? Are you planning to assail someone ? '' A apprehensive lav asked causing an appalling smell to come along on Torran 's face.

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

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

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

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

Almost bowing again Torran stopped and said, `` We are detergent builder and shaper. We are here to help you as we have been for a very farsighted fourth dimension. ''

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

'' twelvemonth ? '' Torran asked. Looking at Triance they both started to utter in a strange language. John the Evangelist shook his nous it was almost as if they were speaking every language at once but none of them at the same metre. A present 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 conception of meter. Later we will register you how to access all clip. ''

'' All clock time ? Just how long have you been here ? '' A galvanize John asked.

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

John sat with a clunk in the penny-pinching chair. This was impossible ! They were deity ? `` You never age. Then I will be gone and you will still be here alone again. '' A worried John 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 sixteen of your old age we have aged maybe 16 year. As far as we have figured one day here is one yr of your sentence. '' Torran happily explained.

can '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 look up to us as that terminal figure. `` A now broadly smiling Triance said.

'' Did you just read my idea ? '' An astonied John asked.

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

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

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

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

'' Sir ? I am so no-count I forgot to tell you ! This edifice is yours ! Everything in it, this is your home now. '' Triance said a worried look on her face.

'' It 's fine Triance ; we all make mistakes at metre. Please do n't care ok ? '' A smiling toilet told the care elfin woman.

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

A traumatize John shook his psyche. `` That will not happen ! I have so very much to thank all of you for. I could never do something so miserable ! You are a married cleaning lady besides that alone makes it a horrible crime to me. ''

'' Married ? '' A confused Triance stated. `` I do not realise that word. '' Again she and Torran conversed in that strange spoken language though this time Saint John was catching every third gear word. `` 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 sort in many days. ``

'' 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 particular ; 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 other with startled looks and conversed again. `` What does han stand for 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 skillful to talk about someone when they are sitting in the same elbow room. '' John said. Both of the elfin people turned to stare at John both of their mouths hanging out-of-doors. `` horseshit what have I done wrong now ? '' John asked.

'' goose egg wrong ! You ... you were speaking Alfheim ! By the great creator ! It has already started ! You do not induce all of it but you understand and speak Thomas More of it than not ! '' Torran said his middle 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 stand for 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 mother wit of being and purpose. 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. '' King John related to Triance.

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

toilet 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 import later. What he thought was hours later Gospel According to John awoke feeling a lot better. Getting up he found a change of clothes. These were more like those
that the elves wore all cancel vulcanized fiber he thought. Looking cheeseparing John could almost blaspheme that the wearing apparel were made from industrial plant !

Stepping outside there were several gasp. King John looked around seeing more pixy working outside the buildings around the one he was in. Sitting on a judiciary in front of the building, John shook his headspring. He still was confused as to what he was doing here, plus what he was to direct these elf ... Suddenly a mentation hit him, NO ! There was no way ! Going back inside several of those external waved to him as he went in.

Looking into the mirror in the construction he noticed that he had a fully maturation of a face fungus. He 'd mean that he had a beard and now, here it was ? Since when did he have any character of telekinetic ability ? Shaking his header again, he hesitated a here and now, and then thought, ‘ no time like the present to try.'Concentrating lavatory thought, < Torran ? Triance ? Could you both come here please ? Also could you institute your mates with you as I will consume need of you both for a time. I am afraid it will take you away from your mates. I wish to apologize to them for that. >

LE than a second later John heard in his head, < We are both on our way sir ! Thank goodness you have discovered the thought talk of the town ! > privy nodded as he waited for them to make it.

A few here and now later both Triance and Torran walked into his building. `` We are here sir. '' They both stated. Saint John the Apostle started to look outside around his construction then came back in to find a disoriented couple of hob.

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

'' I asked you to bestow your married person ; at least I thought you both had Ilex paraguariensis. '' A concerned 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. ''

St. John the Apostle 's face broke into a huge smile, `` 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 mouthpiece dropped spread, as there were several gasps from the door. `` He really is that vei ? ''

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

There were Sir Thomas More gasp as John the Divine heard several say that it was a thanksgiving that he could almost utter and verbalize in Alfheim.

'' I still have interrogative sentence 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 family of a caption that is common in my fourth dimension. I 'm not certain if you and your people have ever heard of Santa Claus Claus ? '' john said as he looked at all those that were within his mint.

A here and now later a very old looking elf person walked in the doorway as there was a hush as the elder approached whoremonger. `` howdy sir, '' came the strong voice of the elder.

'' Hello to you also sir. '' John said drawing several to a greater extent startled pant from all those that were present.
Nodding the elderberry bush elf took trick 's hand and led him out into the domain in front of the building. Suddenly there were other 11 elder elves that appeared all nodding to the one that was with privy.

Releasing John 's hand the elder walked to the others and talked to the others a few minutes. Then the intact radical of twelve turned toward Gospel According to John, `` We have waited a very long metre in your world 's long time. Many thought that you would never appear but at last you are here. For so long we have been without counsel 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 emptiness within me. I will do the best that I can, '' here whoremonger 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 larger multitude of gasp.

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

Nodding John thought back to all the affair that he 'd heard about Saint Nicholas. All the fable that were out there about the man and where he was from. Never in his wildest dreaming had he thought it might be him. The fact that he had almost all the time he needed was another great look of this also. < Do I induce magic ? > John asked.

< Of course, though at present it is frail it will soon grow to where you need it to, > the head elder thought to Gospel According to John.

< good I want to begin as soon as I can, this feels so right. For the first sentence in my lifespan I feel like I will finally form a difference in this world. > John thought to the elderberry bush.

< Oh, you will do far More than take a shit a difference to this world. You will bring a joy and felicity that will be unparalleled. We are proud that we will be afforded the chance to avail you sir. Santa Claus, > the senior said with a smile.

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