The Heart Of The Fellowship

Chapter One The One Ring

It's a strange fate we must suffer, over something so small something so evil the one ring was feared above all else but must be destroyed.

Aragorn's Pov

I had no wish to be King but I was the last of my line and I was born into royalty and with that comes certain obligations ones I had no heart to fulfil. Gandalf The Grey was wizard I had known for a long time and was a great friend he told me about The One Ring and how it had been found. A Council had been called into order, after I had lead a young hobbit Frodo Baggins who had carried the one ring this far to Rivendel home of the elf's.

So now one of us will be called to destroy it which has lead a few of my friends hear that I had not see in over 100years. Prince Legolas of Mirkwood and his two brothers I known Legolas all my life he was my best friend and had always stood beside me in many perils. Gimli Son Of Gloin a dwarf from the Mines Of Moria I did not know him all that well but I had a feeling that it would change.

Boromir of Gondor a men like myself in many ways but I fear he did not hold to much respect for me he does not know who I am. Gandalf was also there of course he had started this journey by making Frodo take ring so now the council begins, with Lord Elrond head of the council I will write in my journal later it helps me to see things clearly.

Council Of Lord Elrond

Elrond, "We have been all called here today because of something that has been shown it's way here bring forth the one ring Frodo Baggins."

Glancing there eyes to Frodo who stood up ever so slowly pulling the one ring out of his pocket, and placing it upon the stone pedestal and than he sat back down. Unaware to the others Sam, Pippin and Merry had been watching from afar the three young hobbits.

Boromir, "My dreams have been dark of late I have sense a doom awaiting us this one ring has great power maybe we should use it."

He was standing up and walking around as the others listened on he went to touch the ring and the one ring starts chanting the black speech.

Elrond, "Boromir take your seat."

Seeing the impact on what the ring had chanted he back off slightly and than sat down everyone calmer.

Gandalf, "I'm sorry Lord Elrond the black speech of Mordor may yet be heard in every corner of Middle Earth."

Elrond, "Yes Gandalf which is why our task is to destroy it forever one of you must do this."

Everyone was looking around at what he had just said Legolas had looked over to Aragorn and realised what a huge task this was going to be.

Boromir, "We must use the one ring we cannot destroy it give Gondor the ring and we will surely win this war."

Aragorn, "The One Ring answers to Sauron alone it has no other master Lord Elrond is right we must destroy it."

Boromir, "What would a mire Ranger know of this matter why are you even here."

That was all it took for Legolas he had know idea if Aragorn would be happy if he revealed his royal status but he was about to find out.

Legolas, "This is no mire Ranger he is Aragorn son of Arathorn you owe him your alliance."

Boromir, "Aragorn this is Isildur's heir?"

Legolas, "And heir to the throne of Gondor so yes he has a right to be here."

It was getting out of hand already yet they could not leave this council till it was all sorted out Aragorn had been watching Legolas and was a bit angry that he told everyone the truth, he had got a few looks from Frodo and the rest.

Aragorn, "Havo dad Legolas."

Boromir, "Gondor has no king Gondor needs no king."

After that he sat back down and the talking went on and Gimli had enough of them talking about destroying it when he tried hitting the ring with his axe to no prevail it knock him down and started chanting again.

Elrond, "The ring cannot be destroy by any craft we hear posses it was made in the fires of Mount Doom only there can it be unmade and as I have said one of you must do this."

They all knew that but it was a choice to make a quest that would mean certain death everyone started to argue with each other until.

Legolas, "I will take the ring to Mordor Lord Elrond please let me expect this task?"

Gandalf, "Legolas are you sure of this because if you are I will help you bear this burden as long it's yours to bear."

Elrond, "The task is yours if there are any others wishing to join you than I dare say they should speak now or forever hold there peace."

There was no way he could let Legolas do this thought Aragorn he was looking around to see who else was going to join him.

Frodo, "I started this journey as a ring carrier I would like to see it threw with you Legolas."

Legolas, "Thankyou Frodo."

Aragorn, "By my life or death I will protect you Legolas you have my sword."(And Aragorn was started to feel more than just friendship for the elf and thought "And My Heart but couldn't say it out loud.)

It was getting late in the day in Rivendel as the council drag on next to speak up was Gimli which surprised them.

Gimli, "Well I can't say that I'm happy an elf is carrying the ring but you have my axe on this quest.

Boromir, "You carry the fate of us all Elf so you have my shield and I will do my best to protect you as well."

Legolas, "Wow I was not expecting this my brothers cannot come but can you send word back to my father as to what is happened he will understand better coming from you two."

Nodding at there brother they have exited the council and mounted there horse just than Merry, Pippin and Sam all ran out of there hiding spots to where they all stood.

Sam, "Frodo your not going anywhere with out me beside I made a promise remember don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee and I don't mean to Legolas were with you."

Merry, "You'd have to send us home tied up in a sack in order to stop us."

Pippin, " Anyway you need smart people of this sort of mission, thing oh quest."

Laughing finally lighting the mood they had all departed to get the things ready they needed for the quest.

Legolas was walking in the gardens they had put the ring on necklace so it could be worn around his neck Aragorn appeared to Legolas.

Aragorn, "I do not understand why you expected this quest you will not survive it Mellon Nin."

Legolas,"It's my chance to do something for the greater good I thought you of all would understand this."

Aragorn, "That I do but Legolas you mean so much to a lot of people your a Prince and I must say I can't believe you told them I was future Aran."(King)

He knew this was going to come up Aragorn always worried to much Legolas thought but he did seemed more concerned them he normally would.

Legolas, "I'm sorry about that but Boromir I do not trust him it was time he learnt the truth why are you caring so much it's not like you."

Aragorn, "Your my Mellon Nin and I need to tell you something but time is short we depart I will speak to you again on the way let us head on our way."

So they all set on there way the hobbits of foot and Gimli and the others riding out Elrond bid them all farewell a for them to have a safe journey.

End Chapter One.
