Union of the Ring
Miss Uots says: I do not own Lord of the Rings or Fushigi Yuugi. I do not
own my friends, but I do own myself, and any other character that doesn't
seem to belong.
Chapter One
It all started with the Council of Elrond. The Elf King of Rivendell stood looking at those accompanying him. They all sat around a small pillar which now held the ring. Elves, Dwarves, and Men stared at the One Ring, not knowing what to do with it. One wizard, Gandalf, sat at the side with a hobbit, Frodo, who most unluckily picked up the Ring. But would he have the responsibility of holding on to the Ring to bring it to Mount Doom and have it destroyed? Not for long . . .
"Perhaps we can contact one of the other worlds, out there," Elrond said.
"But who would we contact?" one of his elven comrades asked.
"There are many worlds out there," Gandalf said. "I know a spell I can use . . . it will allow us to know which worlds are open to our discretion. Shall I try this?"
"Are we sure we want to put the fate of Middle Earth into the hands of those from another world?" Elrond said, raising his eyebrows.
"Think of it this way," Gandalf said, "if we die doing their task, at least we wouldn't have wasted one of our own number. In any case, it shall give us time to think of a second plan while they are sent to Mount Doom to save our world."
"Please, then," Elrond said, "perform your spell."
Gandalf walked up to the pillar where the Ring lay, and with his staff, summoned a small bubble, into which he looked intently into. Finally, he began to speak.
"Areunus, Estoerode, Geranede, Yuen . . . all Elven worlds . . . Herterod, Kale, Plaine Earth . . . all Men worlds . . . oh, what is this? An ancient world referred to as the Universe of Four Gods."
"That sounds good," Elrond said. "Gods . . . that should be enough power and might to go to Mount Doom and have the Ring destroyed. We will not have to waste our number if we ask for a fellowship from that world."
"I shall speak to the Ruler of that world, one who guards their Link to other worlds," Gandalf said, and suddenly, in a pink puff of smoke, Taiiutskun was floating above Gandalf. Everyone gave a yelp of horrified surprise and fell back.
Gandalf wearily got to his feet. "Oh . . . are you the ruler of the world referred to as the Universe of the Four Gods?"
"Yes I am," Taiiutskun answered in her horrible English-dubbed voice. "What do you wish of me?"
"I - I am Gandalf, of this here world known as Middle Earth," Gandalf stammered, trying not to look at the horrid face of Taiiutskun. "We have problems in our world . . . a great evil threatens to take over and control the free races of this world. We ask for help."
"Help?"
"A fellowship from your world, if you don't mind," Gandalf said.
Taiiutskun nodded. "Very well, then. I shall give you the best that I have. Warriors . . . Tamahome, for starters. He is a great man, who knows well how to fight, and his symbol is that of ogre."
"Ogre?" Elrond repeated, a look of horror on his voice. "Oh, we could never use that!"
"Then Hotohori you would like," Taiiutskun replied, "He is Emperor of the land of Konan, young, beautiful and strong. Among all the warriors, he resembles an Elf most wonderfully. He knows the sword well, too."
"Then he shall be one," Elrond said, "in the place of Elves. Eight more we need."
"Nuriko has the power of strength, and admonishes beauty almost as well as Hotohori."
"Sounds good," Elrond said. "Make him number two for the Elves."
"And what about the dwarves?" one of the dwarves huffed.
"Chiriko is small, but a child," Taiiutskun said, "though his knowledge is very great."
"And other small ones?" the Dwarves huffed.
"Miboshi, a summoner of demons," Taiiutskun replied.
"We'll take him!" the dwarves cried. "Miboshi as the representative for the dwarves!"
"And anything for a wizard?" Gandalf asked.
"Chichiri the monk, or Tomo the Illusionist," Taiiutskun answered.
"We'll take both," Gandalf said.
Elrond's face screwed up in thought. "Let's see . . . that's five, we need four more."
"We must have at least two for the Men," one of the men said. "Who is the most powerful?"
"Nakago," Taiiutksun said quickly, "but I don't think . . ."
"We'll take him!" the man said just as quickly. "And who else?"
"Uh . . ." Taiiutskun thought. "Tasuki?"
"And what is he like?"
"A mountain bandit, and he holds the power of fire," Taiiutskun said. "He has a bit of an attitude, I must warn you . . ."
"We'll take him!" the man answered.
"Should we really then take two more?" Gandalf asked. "Or should the Fellowship stay at . . . Seven?"
"In my world, Seven is special number," Taiiutskun answered. "All the warriors are grouped in groups of Seven. You have taken some from both the two remaining groups, Suzaku and Seriyu. They shall be your new Seshi . . . your fellowship of the Ring."
"And when should we expect these fine warriors?" Elrond asked.
"Give it a day," Taiiutskun replied. "And I shall bring them to you."
And thus, the fellowship of the ring was born.
