Purestrongpoem: I don't own Lord of the Rings' characters. Enjoy.
Cemen, Ring of Earth
Prologue
Long ago, Celebrimbor was deceived by Annatar who was secretly Sauron to create sixteen rings. He created seven rings for the dwarve-lords and nine rings for men. The dwarve-lords' rings aspired greed in them and the men were bend to Sauron's will through the nine rings. Sauron secretly created the one ring of power to bring them and in the darkness bind them. In secret, Celebrimbor created three rings. They were given to the elves. Narya, the ring of fire was given to Gil-galad, High King of Noldor and passed down to Cirdan and Gandalf. It had the ability to motivate hope to the wearer and lightened the burden. Nenya, the ring of water was given to Galadriel. It protected the wearer from evil and maintained the beauty of Lothlórien. Finally, Vilya, the ring of air was given to Gil-galad and passed down to Elrond. It was the strongest of the three rings and it had the power to heal and maintain. The three rings were the only ring that were not influenced by Sauron. Although Sauron later knew about the three rings, the rings were hidden from him. Even though, Celebrimbor created the three rings, he also created another ring that was also not influenced by Sauron. It was a secret that only he knew and nobody else. It was a simple ring and the weakest. It was Cemen, the ring of earth. It was made out of jade and had a tiger eye stone embedded in it. It was created to inspire love, courage, loyalty and willpower. Celebrimbor didn't know who to give the ring to because it was such a simple ring. Then he came upon hobbits and saw how simple they were but also full with courage, love, willpower and loyalty. He saw a particular family that shone out the most, the Gamgee family. They were a family of gardeners, hobbits that understood the earth well. He gave the ring to Grigory Gamgee as a gift. Grigory treasured it and it passed down through generations. Finally, it was received by Samwise Gamgee on his thirty-second birthday. Thus, the adventure began about a hobbit who held the one ring and a duty to destroy it with the help of his loyal friend who wore the ring, Cemen.
Purestrongpoem: Cemen is the Quenya word for Earth. I got this idea when I was thinking about the three rings. I was wondering why there was only three elements and why earth was missing from it. I thought earth was an important element. 0Please review.
For Alexandria Solace and any other people who have the same concern:
Thank you for reviewing and stating your concern. I know that the ring is not about the elements but more about the abilities that it holds. I did stated how each ring has its own ability like Nenya, the ring of water was given to Galadriel. It protected the wearer from evil and maintained the beauty of Lothlórien and other abilities of the other rings. The rest of the story is going to be focusing on Samwise Gamgee (not some random Mary Sue) and the ring. Throughout the story, you see Sam displayed his courage and loyalty (that is why he is one of my favorite characters) and without him Frodo would have failed the journey. The ring will be more based on emphasis on its ability of courage and loyalty (its ability not the element) The earth was just a little interesting extra since he is a gardener (plants and earth, get it?). I thought it would be interesting add to the story. If you have any more problems with the story, just tell me.
