"Do you have any ideas on why Lord Elrond wants us?" Layla asked.
Everything was silent. Even the would be loud tramping of feet down the hallway was muffled by a thick silver carpet.
"Okaaaaaaaaay then," Layla went on, not at all disturbed by the complete lack of sound.
"Bills?" Nicky guessed.
Layla paled.
"But we-" she began.
"Miladies, Lord Elrond's study," Elendil announced grandly, holding open the door.
The girls walked cautiously into the room, not knowing what to expect.
"You are Layla and Nicky?" a voice came from the shadows.
The girls spun around, startled.
A tall, impressive man appeared from the gloom, light traveling from his head to his feet. Inch at a time, "You have quick reflexes," he noted.
"You are Lord Elrond I presume," Layla said coolly.
"Your presumption is correct," Lord Elrond nodded.
"Why do you want us?" Nicky asked.
A smile flitted across Elrond's face, "So many questions, so little time. You must be eager to get to the feast. You both look positively radiant," he smiled again as they blushed, "Please sit down, I would like to ask you a favor. Would you be so kind as to let me ask you a few questions before letting you go to the feast. After the feast, would you mind some of my wiser friends and I coming to your rooms to interrogate you more, and then you and your friends can ask questions. I'm sorry, I know that is not a normal request. It is quite unusual for men to ask if they can come in a girls' room. So?"
Layla looked at Nicky and shrugged, "I don't see any reason why I should mind... or my friends."
"Wonderful!" Lord Elrond explained, "Now, I have really only two questions for you now. Elendil says you have a ring Layla. May I see it?"
Layla slipped the ring off her finger and into Elrond's outstretched palm.
Lord Elrond stared at it for a minute before chanting quietly:
"One Ring to rule them all
One Ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them
The Herald of Death
To find One Ring, to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them
One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring
One Ring to help the souls
Cast to an evil bind
One Ring to release them all
From an evil mind
The Bringer of Life
To show the way unto good
Cuiledhwen is it's name
Of powers which will never be understood
One Ring"
"Cuiledhwen," he spoke softly in obvious amazement.
Nicky coughed loudly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Lord Elrond seemed to come back to Earth... well wherever they were, "I'll explain everything after the feast. Second," he looked directly at Nicky with keen eyes, "When my assistants and I were healing you, we found this in a pocket of your outer clothing."
He held up the DVD, "It has a picture of my daughter."
"...It's a DVD?" Layla asked.
"What's a DVD?" Elrond questioned, "Never mind, everything will be understood after the feast, but for now, you must go! Elendil!"
Elendil came into the room, "Yes, my lord?"
"Please escort these two to the feast," Elrond spoke lightly, but it was as if he was giving an order.
"Yes my lord," Elendil said before leaving with the two girls in tow.
Lord Elrond sat and rubbed his eyes in wonder.
"Cuiledhwen..."
The second ring! Yes, it will cure if put on the index finger. Orcs will be healed into their former selves... and Nazgul-
