Voici un pastiche absolument hilarant. Il est inspiré du style particulier d'un célèbre auteur de Fantasy/SF... Mais qui donc ?
Un sachet de lemba à celui où celle qui trouvera :)

The party emerged from Mordor, each looking thoughtful. Aragorn spoke
first.

'It is needless to say that we all regret the loss of Gandalf. He was
truly a person of eminence and grace'.

'Yet', interrupted Legolas, 'The cynical and suspicious might find
your heartfelt grief at his untimely demise perhaps lacking a touch
of sincerity, given that his death at this time perforce elects you
to leader of our little group'

' The implication in your words, Legolas, I find disturbing in the
extreme', answered Aragorn.

'As do I, although the implication in question is perhaps a different
one', said Boromir. 'Why is Aragorn, as you say, 'perforced elected'
to leadership? Surely this matter should be referred to a larger
referendum than just yourself, Legolas, intelligent though you may be'

'I used the specific appellation...', began Legolas. Gimli
interrupted.

'Regardless, and I must say I find these small-minded squabbles of
yours irksome and inappropriate, we are on the borders of Lothlorien,
a realm whose inhabitants have certain unusual customs, which the
unwary traveller often falls foul of. I suggest that our friend Frodo
renders the Ring on to me until we are through Lothlorien and in a
place of more condign safety, or perhaps an even greater period of
time'.

Pippin frowned. 'Your suggestion has merit, although I would deem it
wiser that someone more suitable, for instance I, should have the
laborious and dangerous duty of actually carrying the Ring...'

Mon petit doigt (heu, Google en fait)  me dit qu'il s'agit de Jack Vance, j'ai bon? à moi les lembas? ;-)

Les moyens sont discutables, mais la réponse est exact !
Bravo !
Pour la récompense, voyez avec mon associé ;-)
