All the elves stared as the band of four hobbits came through Rivendale. "Aragorn!" Arwen smiled and hugged her lover. He hugged her back and kissed her. Gandalf came forward to elrond. "Meet Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Merodioc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took." He motioned for them to come forward. "I'm Merry and he goes by Pippin" The two yelped. Elrond smiled. "Welcome to Rivendale. What has brought you here?" H asked and Frodo opened his hand. Elrond gasped as he saw that cursed ring. "Where did you get that?!" He exclaimed. "Bilbo left it in my name and now dark riders are after us so we must destroy it." He sighed and tucked it into his pocket. "send word to Legolas and A dwarf." He whispered to Arwen and she hastily ran off, aragorn trailing behind her. "You are welcome to stay here. Please enjoy Rivendale." Elrond nodded and walked off.

The council of Elrond sat down. Six elves including Legolas, Four dwarves, Including gloins son Gimbli, Gandalf, the hobbit Frodo, Elrond himself and a couple of Elronds closest friends. "My friends we come here to destroy a ring." He motions for Frodo to place it on the table. A man stood in the corner. Borimir of Gondor. Frodo placed the ring on a table in the center and Borimir came closer. He came to take it but Gandalf stopped him. "Well then what are we waiting for if it needs to be destroyed?" He raises his axe and brings it down upon the ring. The axe smashed and gimbli looks shocks. "This ring was made in the fires of Mt Doom and can only be destroyed by those same fires." He looked around. "So who will go on the journey and do this mighty task?" He looked around again. "I will." Frodo stepped forward. "Its my burden to bear so I will do it. "Sam who was listening in the bushes popped out. "I will go with you. I made a promise that i intend to keep." He looked up at gandalf. Gandalf smiled down at him. Aragorn stepped forward. "You have my sword." Frodo smiled at his new made friend. "And my bow." Legolas stepped forward. Gimbli stepped forward. "You have my axe. If a elf will go then i will go." He looked over at Legolas in time to catch his eye roll. Borimir stepped forward. "I will go to.." Pippin and Merry popped out from behind the doors and scrambled to Frodo. "We are going too!" Pippin said. "Smart people are needed on this journey." He smiled. "Well that rules out you." Merry laughs and Pippin looks at him. "So where are we going?" And Merry smacked his head. Elrond smiles and looks at them. "Nine all together. You shall be the Fellowship of The Ring." He smiles and All look around at the men and hobbits joining them on this long journey. The elf avoided the dwarfs look.

"Now sleep. For you will need it... Tomorrow you start the travailing."

Arwen meet Aragorn outside the castle and in the forest. "Do you remember when i first meet you?" She whispered. He nodded. "I thought i was in a dream when i saw you." He leaned in and kissed the pale elf. She smiled as she pulled away. "Be safe melamin...Take this..." She pressed something into his hand. He opened it and looked. "Your Elensar...but you will die without this..." He insisted on giving it back..."Keep it. When you come back you will save me with it." She kissed him again and they walked off together.
