Elizabeth giggled at something Thorin had just said as they strolled arm in arm around the garden together becoming closer then they had ever been. Kili and Fili had sent word to their mother Dis and as Elizabeth had predicated Dis reacted like she had about all three of them. Of course that didn't stop her from grabbing the first pony and making her way to Rivendell herself to see her sons.

"Elizabeth!," at Kili's panicked voice Elizabeth's face paled with fear as she took off runing out of the garden with Thorin at her heels following her.

"What happened Kili?," Elizabeth asked but all Kili could do was point behind her.

Turning Elizabeth's eyes widened in shock. "Frodo!," she yelled before diving in to aid her uncle with healing her nephew.

"Who is making all the yelling now?," Bilbo asked as he came hobbling up towards Thorin and the boys.

"I'm sorry to tell you Bilbo, your nephew Frodo has been hurt. Elizabeth and Elrond are trying to save him as we speak,"

"Oh my dear sweet nephew," Bilbo said tiringly as he sat down on the marble bench in front of the room each of the men praying for the recovery of one Frodo Baggins.

Two Hours Later

Elizabeth exited the room wiping her hands with a pink tinged cloth. A look of relief upon her face.

"He will live had Estel got him here, or Arwen, any later he would have been lost to us,"

"He will be ok won't he?,"

"Yes Bilbo I saved Frodo but it was close we nealry lost him to the darkness, to the ringwraiths,"

"What do these black riders want?," Thorin asked as he wrapped an arm around Elizabeth's waist.

"Bilbo's old magic ring, the one he used to aid you in the quest to gain Erebor. It was no mere trinket Bilbo it is but the one ring of Sauron, our greatest enemy. He has returned Middle Earth is no longer safe unless we take the ring to Mount Doom to destroy. Uncle will be calling a council of all of Middle Earth for a final say in the role of the ring he believes many will agree with us to destroy it,"

"You are right, no gold trinket like that deserves to be in Middle Earth if it will cause nothing but destruction and decay," Thorin replied in agreence.

"Let us hope everyone will think like that," Elizabeth replied as she stood closer to her beloved during the discussion of Sauron.

Two Days Later

Elizabeth stood upon her and Thorin's balcony staring out at the front gate seeing it open and close with the arrival of each guest.

"My cousin is here,"

"Who my love,"

"Legolas son of Thranduil," at the growl of the name of her second uncle she turned in worry.

"He is nothing like his father, at least not now, the battle changed him you see he found his one," at this Elizabeth let out a laugh, "his one is none other then Gloin's son Gimli."

At that declaration Thorin roared out in laughter at the irony that the very dwarf he had insulted was to be his mate.

"That is the most ironic thing to ever happen to Gloin," Thorin replied through his trys of getting his breathing under control again.

Shaking her head Elizabeth made her way to the box that sat upon the table in their room and opened it to reveal the tiara of the princess of Lothlorien, today she had to use her authority and power.

Removing the tiara from the box she turned just as Thorin reached her side. Looking at him with his crown of Erebor upon his head she nodded and handed him the tiara allowing him to place it upon her head.

Slowly making their way to the chambers where the meeting was to be held Elizabeth was nervous as she noticed so many there. Her uncle Elrond's chair sat at the front, a cirlce of chairs surrounding the podium in the middle. Minus the two chairs that sat beside her uncle's chair for herself and Thorin.

This was it the final council for the fate of Middle Earth despite bad blood between many and hate that flowed through bloodlines Elizabeth prayed that perhaps this council could save the world from the darkness of Sauron one last time.
