The Lord of the Dark Rings

Ken looked around curiously. The last thing he remembered was that he was at his computer doing a paper for school. But this room didn't look like his own.

There were no walls, but white pillars stood tall around him, holding up the ceiling. Ivy grew around them and flowers of all rainbow colors surrounded the room. There were chairs around the perimeter of the room, and digimon sat in them, with some humans that Ken recognized as his fellow digidestined.

"Our meeting shall begin now that Master Frodo has graced us with his presence," said a voice from the front of the room. "Tai!" Ken exclaimed, recognizing the big-haired leader.

Murmurs filled the room. "Excuse me Master Frodo, but who exactly is Tai?" someone else asked. "Matt! You're Tai's best friend. You should know who he is!" Ken exclaimed. "My name is not Matt," the person replied. "I am Aragon, son of Arathorn." "What?" Ken asked, puzzled.

"Okay, the Bearer is here, can we start now?" a young girl asked from the other side of the room. "Legolas, please be patient. Let the bearer sit down first," the head of the room said. "Yes Elrond," the girl called Legolas said. "But...your name's Jaya," Ken said to her. "No, I'm afraid I've always been Legolas," she replied. Ken saw nothing to do but sit down.

"Master Frodo. I believe you do not remember me," the head of the room continued. "I am Elrond (Tai). We shall now begin our meeting. The question: what are we to do with the Dark Rings? They must be destroyed or our digiworld shall end. And Frodo, since you don't seem to remember any of us, those over there are, from the left: your loyal friends, Merry and Pippin (Kari and Cody), your faithful servant Sam (Davis), the Dwarf Gimli (Izzy), the Elf Legolas (Jaya), Aragon the Ranger (Matt), Boromier (TK), and Gandalf the Grey (Joe)."

While Elrond is speaking, Ken looks around the room. His heart skips a beat when he sees the Dark Ring. The master of his Dark Rings. He thought throwing it into the ocean would get rid of it. "Um, excuse me Tai-uh-Elrond. But what is that?" Ken asked, pointing to the Dark Ring. "That is why we are gathered here," Elrond said, his face growing serious. "It must be destroyed. We are here to appoint an individual to go and destroy it. If we don't, our digiworld will end."

The room bursts out into arguments right away. Everyone telling the other to get rid of it. Ken knew that he had created it, and it was his fault. "I'll go," he said silently, then when no one seemed to hear him, he yelled, "I said, I'll do it!"

A blanket of silence fell over the room immediately. It lasted for several minutes, until Elrond said, "You will need a company, and we shall make it one of nine, just like the Nine servants to the new evil. I choose Gimli to represent the Dwarves, and Legolas for the Elves. Boromier shall go in the name of the Mortal Men. Gandalf shall join you as a guide, for he knows the path very well." Merry, Pippin, and Sam stepped forward. "We shall go too," they said, "for the only way you could keep us from going is to chain us down." "I shall go with them also," said Aragon. "They could use a Ranger with the Company." "Very well," said Elrond. "We have our Nine. You all shall be known as the Fellowship of the Dark Ring. May you have a good journey and come back safely."

The next day, the Fellowship gathered outside. Gandalf lead the way, dressed in his gray wizard's robes and long oak staff. Next went Aragon in his usual black and Ken, now to be known as Frodo. Merry, Pippin, and Sam followed them. Gimli with his ax handy came next and Legolas, clad in Elven green and brown with her bow and quiver on her back, took up the rear.

They were off to see adventures and wonders that no one has ever seen before. Facing challenges and puzzles, tragedies and happiness: whatever may happen, they were ready. On a mission to save the digiworld. Little do they know, it would be the greatest adventure of their lives.
