Chapter 12
"Lady Amanda?"
Amanda looked up from her book. For the past couple of days she had been studying the Lord of the Ring books. She wasn't sure what part Durian would play in the books, if he was even supposed to be there at all. She had to help out as much as possible, but she wasn't going to change the books. Already the books had been changed dramatically when Durian joined the fellowship. How would the books be affected when there were 10 fellowship members instead of only 9?
"Yes?"
"Lord Elrond wishes to speak with you." The messenger elf said.
"Alright," Amanda said. She stood up from her seat on the bench that was on her balcony. She walked through her room and followed the messenger out the door. He led her through Rivendell towards the garden that Lord Elrod wished to speak with her in. When they finally reached it, Amanda saw Lord Elrond standing with his back to her.
The messenger bid her good bye and walked away. She was now left with the Lord of Rivendell. They stood in silence for a little while before Amanda spoke.
"Excuse me Lord Elrond?" Amanda said. She slowly walked towards the Elven Lord. "What was it you wanted to speak with me about?"
"I have received news that you know about the quest for the ring." Lord Elrond said slowly.
"Lord Elrond, almost everyone knows about the quest." Amanda replied.
"No," he said turning around sharply. "I have heard that you *know* about the quest. You know what is going to happen. Is this true?"
Amanda looked at Lord Elrond hesitantly, "Well... I may, know... some things."
"That's what I thought. Tell me, what is it that you know?" He asked. Walking up to her.
"Well, I know where they are going," Amanda said.
"Yes... that's what I thought. Where will they be going next." He asked.
"Well, next they are going to be traveling across the Caradhras next." Amanda said. She wasn't sure if she should be telling Lord Elrond this or not. But it couldn't hurt, actually it might be better.
"Is that so?" Lord Elrond questioned. "And how, exactly, is it, that you know that?"
"I-I... just do." Amanda stammered. Even though she wanted to tell him, something told her that she shouldn't really let the secret out that there were books about these people.
"Alright, then I would like you to help out the company as much as possible." Lord Elrond told her.
"Actually, I was planning on doing that anyhow." Amanda answered.
Lord Elrond nodded, "Amanda, I want this quest to end as soon as possible. And I want you to do as much as you can to end it soon. I want you to be the Leader of the fellowship. Guide them when they do not know what to do."
Amanda swallowed hard. "I'll see what I can do."
"Alright, that is all I wished to speak with you about. Thank you for your time." Lord Elrond said. "You will be a great Leader."
"Yeah, thank you... I hope." Amanda said cheerfully. She turned around and walked away, she said under her breath, "Yeah thanks you crazy miserable bastard for wasting my time."
Lord Elrond laughed silently, `She must have forgotten about Elves excellent hearing." He turned and walked into the palace, laughing to himself.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Amanda reached her room and sat back down on the balcony again. She started reading the book again. She read over the part when they are in the Caradhras over and over again. She finally flipped out her IM thing, and sent a message to Durian.
Amanda: `Hey Durian. I was just wondering where you guys were right now?'
10 minutes later.....
Durian: `Hello, you've reached Durian Greenleaf's personal secretary, Legolas Greenleaf. If you would like to leave a message, please inform me and I will tell the little precious elf your message as soon as possible, thank you.'
Amanda: Hey Legolas. How are you? And why are you on Durian's IM thing?
Durian(Legolas): Well he's gone right now, and the beeping noise was beginning to annoy the rest of the fellowship, so I decided to turn it off.
Amanda: Thanks. So where are you guys anyhow.
Durian(Legolas): Uh, we are on the Caradhras right now at the moment. It's pretty annoyed hearing all these people complain about the cold. LoL
Amanda: O really? Well not everyone is as lucky as you, we aren't all elves. So where is Durian?
Durian(Legolas): Yeah I know. He went mad and thought that he could find the Sun. He should know that She isn't here right now. Sad child.
Amanda: Oh shit.
Durian(Legolas): What?
Amanda: He isn't supposed to go. You are supposed to be the one to go find the damn sun.
Durian(Legolas): What are you talking about. I'm not mad. I know the Sun isn't here right now.
Amanda: Whatever. The books are fucked up. I don't care. Geeze... well actually I do care. Damn.
Durian(Legolas): ::scared look:: What in the in the world are you talking about child? Are you alright?
Amanda: I'm fine. But I'd better let you go now. Oh yeah, when Durian returns, tell him that the Sun is in the blue fields of the South. K?
Durian(Legolas): Uh... Sure.
Amanda: Ok. Talk to you later. Also, Legolas?
Durian(Legolas): Yes?
Amanda: Don't be afraid of the darkness in Moria.
Durian(Legolas): Moria? Why would I be going there?
Amanda: Just don't be afraid of it.
Durian(Legolas): ...Alright?
Amanda: AND, don't tease Durian.
Durian(Legolas): I'm not doing that as much now as I did before. Aragorn verbally bitch slapped me because of it, so I think I might keep it down a bit.
Amanda: And that's a very good thing. bye.
Durian(Legolas): Good bye my Lady.
Amanda: It's good bye Lady Leader... person, to you.
Durian(Legolas): What?
Amanda: Elrond wants me to be your Leader. Good bye.
Durian(Legolas): ... Bye?...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What is that confounded thing?" Asked Gimli, when he saw Legolas put the IM thing back in Durian's pack.
"I don't really know what its proper name is, but it sends messages without a messenger. And in only a second flat." Legolas said. He walked over to the rest of the fellowship, minus Aragorn and Boromir, who were trying to find other ways off the mountains.
"Witchcraft!" Spat Gimli.
"No, not witchcraft, it is modern earth technology," Legolas replied.
The hobbits all looked at each other. The words `witchcraft', `modern', and `technology' was not in their vocabulary.
"Earth, nothing good came from there in a long while. I would say that we are all better off without all their `technology'." Gimli said.
"Well..." For once in his long life, Legolas didn't know what to say. He wasn't sure himself if Earth technology was the best thing for Middle-Earth. "I don't know. Maybe good things will come out of the technology here."
"I hardly doubt it." Gandalf said. "It is good, but we cannot become dependant on the humans on earth. They are totally unreliable."
"Only *some* of them are." Legolas said, defending the earth humans.
"Yes, some. Some of whom I know." Said a voice from behind them. Legolas turned around and found his little brother standing there.
"You have not found the Sun?" Asked Gandalf.
"No, She was walking in the blue fields of the South, but I have found a way for us to get down." Durian told them.
Legolas' face turned pale. "Have you talked to Amanda since then?"
"No, the machine was here with you." Durian said, sitting down with the rest of the fellowship. "Why?"
"Because Amanda knew where the Sun was also. Oh well, probably just a coincidence," Legolas said.
"You talked with Amanda? How is she?" Asked Durian.
"She's... well um... she's our leader." He told Durian and the rest of the company.
All exchanged confused glances. "Excuse me?" Asked Gandalf.
"I don't know, that's all she said. Elrond just wants her to be our Leader." Legolas said. "So, it must be for a good reason if Elrond wishes it."
"Yes, I suppose so." Gandalf replied.
They all sat around in silence until they saw two small specks arriving in the snow. Aragorn and Boromir returned from their journey. When they arrived, Durian stood up and said:
"Now, everyone follow me. I know of a way down from the mountain. Once we get down there. We will figure out where we are off to next."
They all reluctantly stood up and followed the young elf down the mountain.
