Nine Little Ring Bearers

This is like the one Agatha Christie´s story. If you love too much the members of the Fellowship, don´t read this. I´m (with a little help from my cousin) not going to be very nice to them. But anyway, this story contains fear and excitement, who is under the influence of the Ring?

Chapter 1

"So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring," lord Elrond finished his council in Rivendell in year 3018 of the third time of Middle-Earth. Four hobbits, two men, a dwarf, an elf and a wizard were to begin their hopeless journey towards Mordor. Their oath was to destroy the One Ring made by the evil maia Sauron. If Sauron got the ring, he would destroy the beauty of Middle-Earth and enslave all its people.

A hobbit Frodo Baggins had inherited the Ring from his relative Bilbo who had won (or stolen) it from an addicted creature Gollum. Frodo had brought the Ring to Rivendell to a council of the free peoples of Middle-Earth. His loyal gardener Samwise Gamgee had been his helper on the way and also two other hobbits Merry and Pippin had come with them. Though they had not been for much help for Frodo. Frodo had hoped to go home after bearing the Ring to Rivendell, but somehow he felt that he had to take it further. All the way to the firy nightmare of the Mount Doom.

"This way Frodo," Gandalf advised the way out of Rivendell the elven city. The Fellowship walked in a line starting to head towards the Misty Mountains, Gandalf in the front. All there was public about Gandalf was that he was a wizard, a very old wizard who knew a lot. The hobbits had known Gandalf for ages, he was a friend of Bilbo. Actually he seemed to be a friend of many others, too.

The first of the two men in the Fellowship was a mysterious looking ranger. He was called Aragorn. He and Gandalf had know each other a long time and they were on the quest because of will to save Middle-Earth. But they both had also a special mission to fulfill which were laid on them long before.

The another man was Boromir, the heir of the Steward of Gondor. The people of Gondor had been threatened by the foes of Sauron and he wanted to destroy Sauron. Boromir did not wholy agree with the other members of Elrond´s council. He tried to explain them that they should use the Ring, use it to help the enemies of Sauron to destroy him.

The rest of the Fellowship was formed by together arguing elf and dwarf. The elf was Legolas prince of the gloomy Mirkwood and the dwarf was Gimli son of Gloin. The elf and the dwarf hated each other because of the ever lasting suspicion between their races.

"We have a long journey to travel together with them, master Frodo," Sam said quietly walking along a narrow path after Frodo. "I hope we can trust to everyone."

"I´m sure we can," Frodo answered turning towards Sam. "Don´t worry Sam. Elrond has chosen them. We are in safe." Frodo continued going on after Gandalf, the Ring hanging on his neck..



So, here was the first (short) chapter. I had a little bit problems writing this, I don´t like writing these kind of introducing chapters. Maybe I had problems also because I´m Finnish. So please don´t mind my mistakes. If you have read this far, I hope you´d like to review! I´ll try to write the next chapter soon. I can´t wait to punish the cutie Fellowship boys. Punish from what? From making my life so inbearable! I´m all about LotR all the time. My family, my friends can´t stand me any longer. OK, enough complaining. I wouldn´t stop reading Tolkien what ever happened! So, PLEASE review and DON´T read the following chapters if you don´t wanna see the boys get hurt. Yeah, I´m one of those many evil writers here. ;)
