Okay people if you have not read the book then things may seem a bit
different to you. I will be going by the book and the movie. This chapter
begins in middle-earth at the council of Elrond. Boromir is now addressing
the council about the dreams his brother has been having.
***********
~*Silver Chain*~
Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spell.
There shall be shown a token
Then Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken,
And the halfling forth shall stand.
My brother and I did not understand, and we talked with our father, Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith. He only said that Imladris was a name among the Elves in the north. Therefore my brother wished to seek Imladris; but since the road was dangerous, I took the journey myself. Hesitant was my father to let me go, and long I have traveled, looking for the house of Elrond, Imladris.
"And here all shall be made clear to you," said Aragorn, standing up. He laid his sword upon the pillar, and the blade in pieces. "Here is the Sword that was Broken!" he said.
"And who are you?" asked Boromir, looking strait at Aragorn.
"He is Aragorn son of Arathorn," said Elrond; "and he is the descendent of Isildur." Aragorn took the sword and put it away for safekeeping.
Frodo looked at Aragorn in wonder. "Bring out the ring, Frodo!" said Gandalf solemnly. "Now is the time. Let it be seen, then Boromir will understand."
All turned their eyes on Frodo. He was shaken by sudden stage fright (^_^), and he felt a hatred for the Ring at its touch. He wished he were far away from it. The Ring glowed and flickered as he laid it on the pillar.
"Behold Isildur's Bane!" said Elrond.
A strong wind started to blow and trees swayed violently. Then there was a flash. The council covered their eyes for the light was too bright. When they were able to see once more they saw among them four women lying on the ground all around the pillar in which the ring laid upon. The women stirred. A black hood shadowed the one that laid facing Elrond. She stood quickly pulling out a black object and pointed it at Elrond. "Who are you and where am I," she then saw the other girls. "we."
A girl with curly blond hair facing Aragorn"s side sat up. She looked up straight into Aragorn's eyes, her own eyes widened. She looked away quickly and started to mutter over and over again, "Bad day, bad day."
The woman facing Frodo and Gandalf stood up. She turned to look at the woman in black robe. She looked at the black object, to the woman, then to Elrond, and back to the black object.
~Put the gun down Lie.~
~Hey, Ali haven't seen you in five years.~ Lie did not turn her head to Ali. Never giving off a hint that Ali and her were speaking.
~Put the gun down. You have no reason.~
~Never stopped me before.~ The council wondered why Ali was just staring at Lie. They did not know that they were speaking to each other.
A woman with long white hair stood and looked every one over then turned to the scene behind her, "I have to agree with Ali on this Lie. So put the gun down." She then looked down at the girl on the floor. "Are you alright Maria?" Maria looked into the woman's now red eyes. "Oh I'm fine Salene. I just need some time to get my legs working again." Maria replied with a smile. Lie had not wavered during this time. Her finger pulled tighter on the trigger. "Give me one good reason," she now answered. Salene starred at her back, "If you wish," ~1) He does not know what that is, so you would be killing an unarmed man. I mean elf.~ She made sure not to say the out loud for this council to hear. "Once again, never stopped me before," stated Lie. "2) You are out numbered. And I will not help you with this. 3) They are not the ones that brought us here. They seemed to be in shock. Even the elves." At this Lie turned her head to Salene. "What gives you the idea that someone brought us here?" Asked Ali finally taking her attention off Lie's gun. "Well, the four black bags that are laying next to us would be a good example. I really doubt if they were with us before we got here. I know one wasn't with me," Salene picked up one of the bags while saying this. The others looked down to see three bags lying by them. "Wasn't with me either," they stated in unison.
Lie"s head shot back up making her hood fall back. What Salene saw made her eyes turn pink. "4) You would be hurting your own kin." Salene's eyes pinkened even more as she said that, but her face showed no emotion. Once again Lie turned her head to Salene a bewildered look in her green eyes, "What the hell is that supposed to mean, and what's so funny?" Ali put a hand over her mouth and Maria started laughing. "Your.your..an elf," Maria said as she rolled on the floor laughing. Lie's hand went to her ears only to find out that they were pointed. "What the f~%#. I'm HUMAN! How the f~%# did this HAPPEN??" The council was taken back by Lie language. Sure they used it, but never had they heard a lady say such words.
Ali took advantage of this opportunity and took the gun away from Lie. When Lie recovered from her shock she noticed her gun was no longer in her hand. Lie faced Ali. "Give that back," she demanded. "Maybe when you're not so trigger happy." "Give it back or I swear," Lie said a little louder. "No." Ali said sternly. Maria started to giggle.
The Council watched the scene in front of them in confusion. All were wondering what was going on and how these girls got here. Legolas saw Salene twist a ring on her ring finger, "Are you worried about your husband, my lady?" Salene whipped around to face Legolas who was now standing. "What?" Was all she said. She was clearly surprised her eyes turned from pink to aquamarine. Lie, who was still trying to get her gun started laughing. She looked at Legolas. "Her, married," she pointed to Salene "You got to be kidding me. I'm the one that made that I'll have you know." She had forgotten about her gun.
Salene ignored Lie. She turned to face Elrond and bowed, "Please forgive my friend for her actions. She is confused." "Don't you speak for me! Do you know what I was doing before I was brought here? I was just about to get rid of Bin Laden. You know that. When I find out who brought us here I'm going to kill him!" Lie yelled the last sentence. Elrond replied to Salene forgetting Lie for the moment, "I am Elrond, Halfelven Lord of Rivendell. Who are you and where are you from?" Maria stood finally and said for all to hear, "My name is Maria, if you must know. And I come from Washington D.C. in the United States. I work for the government." Ali then spoke, "My name is Ali. I am a resident of the United States as well. I work for the army as a doctor." Lie could see that she would have to answer, "My name is Lie. I am an assassin. I come from the same place at those two." All of the council drew to arms when they heard Lie say she was an assassin. "Hey don't worry about it. Now that Ali took my gun away I can't do anything to you guys." Lie waved her hand at Ali. Salene decided it was time to introduce herself, "I am Salene I come from the U.S. as well. I am one of the Generals of the U.S. army." The whole council was shocked at hearing that this girl was a General of an army.
Boromir stepped forward his eyes fixed on Salene, "How old are you child?" Salene was insulted but would not show it. "I'm eighteen." ~Is there a problem dead man walking.~ Lie started laughing when she heard that. The council looked on in confusion at her sudden outburst. It took all of Ali's control to keep from laughing herself. Maria was now dead silent. ~Salene that was not very nice even if he can't hear you. You should not make fun of him. Especially on that subject.~ Ali no longer felt the urge to laugh, ~She has a point.~ Lie was still laughing though. Ali hit her on the back so no one would see. ~What was that for.~
Salene's eye became blue, "Sorry that was rude of me." She spoke out loud. "Lady Salene, what pray tell are you sorry about," Gandalf was now standing in front of her. "Nothing of any importance, sir," was all Salene said. ~He doesn't believe you, you do know that.~ Lie looked warily at Gandalf. ~Ya, well I wouldn't believe it either.~
"Ladies please can you tell me what happen before you got here?" Aragorn had voiced a question that had been plaguing the council since the girls had arrived. ~All at once,~ Maria asked. ~1, 2, 3.~ "Blacked out." All four said together. "Ladies please have a seat. We where about to decided what was to be done about the ring." Four chairs had been laid out for the girls. ~Those weren't there before,~ Lie stated. ~Some elves placed them there while you were trying to get your gun back.~ Ali sat in the seat next to Aragorn. Salene sat between Ali and Lie. And Maria took the seat at the end. Lie now noticed that she had been standing by the ring. "Evil." She made a cross with her fingers. Salene smiled and said, "You only now just noticed."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As the meeting dragged on and the girls only listened, not saying a word. The girls seemed to be in trances except for Maria who was hanging on every word said. Legolas and Aragorn noticed that the three girls were staring at the ring. Suddenly Lie and Ali snapped back to reality. Lie turned away from the ring with anger in her eyes. Ali just frowned. When Salene came back she seemed to have a satisfied smile on her face, her eyes were black. Then Boromir stared, "Why do we not use the ring to defeat Sauron?" At this Lie whispered under her breath so that only the girls would hear, "Idiot, it seams that the ring already has a hold on him." The others agreed with her but did not respond. Salene was playing with her hair in deep thought, when a strand fell in her lap. The strand started to move in her hand. The white silver strand morphed into a chain that was light in her hands but she could tell it was strong. Salene looked over to Frodo. She snapped back to attention when everyone started to fight even Gandalf. The ring started to light up at this. "Stop this nonsense immediately." Ali said just loud enough to get their attention. "Yes, do you not see that the ring is playing with you?" Maria spat, jumping out of her seat. Lie laid her head in her hand that was resting on the arm of the chair, "No dwarf, man, or elf can take up the ring. Why can you not see that? You guys have to remember that the Ring was created to rule over the other rings. That means that the ring has power over your kind. I'm not even from this world and I can see that." Gimli turned to the black haired elf, "And do you think you can hold the ring. Is that what your saying?" Lie looked at Gimli in disbelief. "You weren't listening were you? I'm an elf at lest I am now anyways. So no, even if I could I would not go near it. You know, forget what I said before. Go take the ring you will regret it later I can promise you that much," Lie said darkly. Gimli fell silent.
Salene was now standing next to the pillar. She took up the ring and placed it on the chain. Then she walked over to Frodo while he said, "I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way." When she reached him, she put the chain in his hand. Frodo looked up at her with sad eye and tried to force a smile. Elrond had a sad look in his eyes, "From what I have heard, this task is for you Frodo. I am glad to see that you will take up this task willingly."
"You won't send him off along will you," cried Sam, as he jumped out of his hiding place. "Of course not!" Said Elrond "You should at least go with him. It seems hardly possible to separate you from him, even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not." Sam blushed, he blush deepened when he saw Salene smiling down at him. Elrond turned his attention to the girls, "Ladies will you please leave us for a moment." The girls saw that an elf was standing by the entrance. They picked up the bags and followed the elf, where they were led to one of the gardens.

Thanks dom-monaghan-lover and naryina. These two would read the chapters over before I would put it up. If they didn't I can only think of all the mistakes there would be.
Ok if you are confused about Salene's eyes and the colors this should explain. Red= Angry, Blue= Sad. Yellow= Scared, Pink= Funny, Aquamarine= Surprised, Green= Jealous, Black= Evil, & White= Good.
