**Thankz for reviewing everyone. FYI, the Council of Elrond now is like the version in the movie instead of the book but I did change it around a little. Now... onto Chapter 8...PLEASE R/R!!! **
Chapter 8
BEEP! Amanda reached out for the little Motorola IM thingy. She flipped it open and saw Durian's name, she laughed. Lord Elrond had given Amanda a couple of the little computers so she gave one to Durian, Legolas, Elrohiol, and kept one for herself.
Ever since she had properly taught them how to use them they were constantly bothering each other at the worst of times. Yesterday, when Durian was teaching Amanda how to shoot a bow in the forest, Durian received an IM from Legolas telling him that there was a forest fire and Rivendell was being attacked by Orcs. Durian freaked out and dragged Amanda all the way back to Rivendell. When they got there all they found was Legolas lying on the ground laughing his ass off. Durian had gotten a little pissed off and tackled him which led to a big fight and Elrond had to come separate the brothers. Amanda couldn't believe how childish the two boys were.
Amanda read the message: What do you do when you are bored and the one person you want to talk to is constantly on her laptop?
Amanda laughed and turned around to see Durian standing there, "You tell them to get their fat ass off the computer and talk to them."
"That's entirely correct my lady," Durian said, "but unfortunately you are going to be the one bored today."
"Why?" Asked Amanda.
Durian walked over and sat next to Amanda on the park bench, "Ah, there's this council thing Elrond is having. Something about a ring, a ring that was supposed to be only a myth. But, Lord Elrond has summoned me and Legolas to attend. So I must go." He said sadly.
"Oh," Amanda said quietly. Yeah, she knew all about the council. It was the Council of Elrond, they council when the fellowship would be formed. `Well', she thought to herself, `it's good bye to Legolas for a little while.'
"Yes, I do not know how long it will take, but... would you like to listen?" He asked with a small smile on his lips.
"What?" She asked. "How could I do that? I'm not going to be allowed anywhere near the council. They would see me."
"No, I'm familiar with the meeting area. Me and Legolas used to play there together when we were younger. There is a spot on the roof just above Elrond's chair and you can hear everything. Me and Legolas always used to listen to the secret meetings held there," he said.
"Durian, I don't think I should," she said slowly. But then she remembered everything. `Damn this is THE council of Elrond. I must be stupid if I don't go!' She thought. "Alright, I'll go. When is it?"
"Uh... it starts in about 5 minutes." He said hurriedly.
"Wow, cutting it a bit short aren't you," she said.
"I'm always late, they're used to it by now. Follow me." Durian said as he ran along the path with Amanda following him. When they reached the meeting place, Durian noticed that the meeting had already started and he saw an empty seat next to a very annoyed and angry looking Legolas. `Great', he thought, `next to the one I love.'
"Where do I go?" Asked Amanda.
"Climb up into the tree and you can sit on that branch right up there, the leaves will block you out so no one will see you." Durian said. He waited until he saw that Amanda was safely in the resting spot in the tree. He ran up the steps and skidded to a stop when he reached the middle of the circle where the council was seated.
He looked around at the people sitting around him and saw Legolas put his head in his hand and mutter silently to himself.
"Oh my God..." Legolas said, very annoyed... and pissed.
Durian took the seat next to Legolas and tried to avoid the stares he was getting from the rest of the members.
"I'm glad to see that you decided to join us Prince Durian Greenleaf." Lord Elrond said.
"I'm sorry, I just got a little... distracted." Durian said, his eyes flicked up towards the trees. But looked down again into Elrond's eyes.
Legolas followed Durian's gaze up into the trees. When he looked up he saw a flash of a blue dress. Remembering that Amanda had dressed in blue today, he shook his head and laughed silently to himself.
"Distracted indeed," Legolas muttered, just loud enough that Durian could hear him.
Durian looked sharply at Legolas and turned his gaze back to Lord Elrond. "I'm sorry for interrupting Lord Elrond. Please continue."
"Yes, thank you for the permission," Lord Elrond said sarcastically. "Now, as I was saying..."
Lord Elrond explained about the ring for the next 25 minutes until he stopped and looked around at the council.
"One of you must destroy it," he said finally.
Durian tried not to laugh at the solemn faces around him. He noticed the eyes of Aragorn on him and stopped chuckling.
"You cannot simply walk into Mordor. It is folly." Said one of the men, Boromir. He had been a complete nuisance since the beginning of the council and was beginning to get Durian and Legolas mad at the stupid comments. Legolas stood up and said:
"Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The ring must be destroyed!"
"And I suppose you think you're the one to do it?!" Snapped a large dwarf.
Legolas glared at the dwarf. Durian noticed the look in the elf's eye, it's the same look he gets when he's trying to contain himself from not beating the shit out of someone, which Durian had seen a lot.
"I would be dead before I see the ring in the hands of an elf!" The dwarf said.
This time the dwarf had gone too far. Durian stood up and started walking towards the dwarf but Legolas held him back. "Durian, he isn't worth your anger." He said calmly.
"Why don't you remember that." Snapped Durian. He sat back down and looked back up into the tree and saw Amanda sitting there shaking her head. Her nose was in a book, intently reading something. Though he couldn't read what the name of the book was.
Elrond cleared his throat, "As I was saying, one of you must do this."
This time a small hobbit spoke up, Durian remembered Elrond saying that this was Frodo Baggins. Nephew to that eccentric hobbit Bilbo Baggins. "I will take it. I will take the ring into Mordor."
Durian snorted, "Sure you will. You and what alliance?" He said under his breath.
Legolas shot him a nasty glare and slapped him hard on the back of his head.
"Ah!" Durian clutched the back of his head and glared back at Legolas. Legolas sighed and rolled his eyes.
"I will go with you. You have my sword," said Aragorn, as he walked up to Frodo.
Amanda watched this whole scene. She shook her head sadly. Can't those two behave like normal? She saw the horrified look in Durian's eyes as he saw what Legolas did next.
"And you have my bow," said Legolas and walked over to stand next to Aragorn.
Durian looked at Legolas and shook his head, silently pleading him with his eyes not to go. Legolas frowned and mouthed `no'.
"And my ax," said the annoying dwarf.
Legolas' mouth dropped open. `Oh why me?' he asked silently. `Why you must put me through the burden of that creature here. I would rather have Durian.'
The pestering dwarf walked over to Legolas. And to his astonishment, the annoying human Boromir offered to go and three hobbits ran forward to join the group.
Lord Elrond was just about to claim them the fellowship of the ring until Durian spoke up.
"Lord Elrond, I wish to go also." He said.
"No you do not wish to go," Legolas said.
"Yes I do, I know I can be a great help to you all and you know it Legolas." Durian said.
"Durian, no I'm not letting you go."
"I'm not asking you Legolas! So stay out of it!" Durian snapped.
"Durian Greenleaf! You are not going and that's it!" said Legolas, trying to remain calm. He did not want his little brother to accompany him on his trip. The reasons were because, one: he was way too young, he hasn't even reached his right of passage yet, and two: because it would be too damn annoying with the hobbits, the dwarf AND his pesky little brother.
"Shut up Legolas! Lord Elrond, please give me permission to go." Durian pleaded.
"No Elrond. Do not give him permission," Legolas said.
"Legolas Greenleaf! I have known you since you were a little child and you know better than to tell me what to do." Lord Elrond said silently.
"I'm sorry Lord Elrond, I'm just trying to look out for Durian's safety."
"You are not! You just don't want me to go for your own personal reasons!" Durian said.
"Oh shove it Durian!"
"Legolas you piece of-"
"You've been hanging around Amanda too often, do not use that language with me!" Legolas yelled.
Lord Elrond interrupted before anymore language was going to be used. His head was spinning from the loudness of the elves screams.
"Durian, I grant you permission to join with the company." Lord Elrond said at last.
"FUCK!" Legolas screamed and glared at his brother.
"Well Leggy. Looks like you lost." Durian said smiling.
Legolas looked at Aragorn, "Please kill me now."
"Not until the journey is over. Then I give you two permission to kill each other," Lord Elrond said, gesturing toward Legolas and Durian.
Legolas snorted and looked at Durian, "Don't worry, I already have plans to do so."
"As do I," Durian said.
The dwarf sighed, "Demented elves."
"Gimli! That will be enough. I already have two, I do not need three fighters. Now, as I was saying before. You shall all be the fellowship of the ring!" Lord Elrond said. "You can go on with your business now."
The hobbits waited around until everyone left. Frodo looked up at Gandalf, "They're brothers aren't they?"
Gandalf sighed and nodded.
