A/N there is going to be some things in this chapter that have no reasoning
other than the fact that they add comic relief, so I hope you don't mind.
Hey if you can, try to guess where there from, eh? Or not, but anyways on
to the story.
Raye was staring in disbelief at Troybin, as he was approaching the Temple for the Fellowship Council Meeting. He seemed to be actually smelling at least one flower from every tree, even though they were all cherry blossoms. It was quite disturbing, it was as if he was doing it to annoy her on purpose, at least Serena couldn't help it. It was when he was approaching that she decided to talk to him.
"Your over half an hour late, even Serena isn't this bad!!!" She scolded at him.
"A wizard is never late, Raye Hino. Nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to." Troybin said, followed by a chuckle. And then the two entered the temple. When they got there, all of the Scouts and the Fellowship was present, as was Darien Chiba.
"Okay lets assess the situation, why do we have to guard Hotaru?" Darien asked.
"Because of the Nine." Troybin said. That confused Darien, and created more questions then it did clear answers.
"The Nine Nazgul. They were once great Kings of Men, until Sauron the Deceiver, gave them nine Rings of Power. Blinded by there greed, they accepted, and one by one, they sank into Shadow becoming his soulless servants." Boromir clarified for them. The Scouts just sort of gave them nods.
"Now on to business, besides Hotaru who else will become part of the Fellowship of the Ring?" Troybin asked. The silence was so impactful that it said 'Huh?!?' by itself.
"I am a member myself, as a wizard, I have to be, my spells can support the Fellowship. Hotaru needs to be one as she is the Ring-Bearer. That leaves room for three." Troybin said.
"Why does there need to be nine, wouldn't a smaller number be easier to handle?" Lita asked.
"It's to combat the Nine, if there are nine members and nine Nazgul, we should be all right, and be careful facing the Nazgul, there isn't a spell anywhere that directly harms them, it must be indirectly, like causing a flood in a stream they happen to be crossing and even then it won't kill them." Troybin said.
"So I guess that means chainsaws and shotguns are out of the question, right?" Darien asked, and then he was promptly hit over the head by Serena and Troybin just gave him a blank look. And the rest of the meeting went. well. It was decided that Amara, Lita, and Amy would round out the Fellowship. So with that all were dismissed, the Outers went to there Manor accompanied by the Middle-Earth members of the Fellowship, as the Inners went home.
Several days later, Michelle took Hotaru and Rini shopping, and by Troybin's suggestion, so did Lita and Merry. He said to protect the Ring- Bearer, she should be accompanied by at least two members when out and about. But, even the very wise cannot see all ends, and Troybin knew that he couldn't. For what happened next could only have happened because of the Ring.
"Hey!!! You should really watch where your going!!!" Hotaru called out, as a teen ran into her. Putting her hand on her neckline, she noticed that there was something wrong. The Ring was gone.
"Hey!!!! He just stole my ring!!!!" Hotaru cried out. At the sound of her shout, both Merry and Lita immediately stopped doing what they were doing and got to her side.
"Who was it? What did he look like and where did he go?" they both asked her. Hotaru really tried to answer the questions, but she couldn't, and she wanted to tell them badly, but she couldn't.
"Troybin is going to be really upset, we've only been together for less than a week and we already failed." Merry said, his heart heavy as he plopped onto the bench. And all the Michelle and Lita could do was grimace at the thought of what would happen now.
If you were to travel any where within 300 hundred yards of the Outers Manor, you would be hearing screams and yells, babble and gibbering, swears in languages you only heard in your dreams. Troybin must have gone through several grosses of curses, taboos and other things that can't be printed for over half an hour. And all Hotaru, Lita, and Merry could do was hold there heads down as they were cursed out.
"You know, it's healthy for a man his age to express his feelings. Repressed emotions are highly toxic to the mind and spirit." Amara told Michelle, Raye, and Darien. As they were the only ones who probably cared to listen to her. And she was right, but that's beside the point. After he stopped yelling, he calmed down and sat heavily on a chair.
"We can't get the Ring back, Sauron already has it. Tomorrow we will hear of that young man being killed by that gang that has been in the news as of late." Troybin said.
"Is that it? Is there nothing that we can do?" Serena asked.
"Well, we are in luck, though. The Ring has had a good amount of its power drained from it. For every thousand years it spent in the belly of Mount Doom, translates as a day he must wear for it to retain full power. That gives us a month, maybe a month and a half." Troybin said with a laugh and a sigh.
"A month and a half for what? Planning what to do when the world ends?" Mina said.
"No a month to find the Narsil, a palan-tir, and the Heir,. If we're lucky we will find these in time. It also gives me time to solve the riddle of that legend. My lungs are tired, if you need me, I'll be in my room smoking. Good night." Troybin said.
"Well that's it, isn't it? All of this wasted by a single moment of laxity. A single moment." Trista said in the most depressed tone anyone ever heard her speak in, as she sat down on the couch.
"Don't worry Lady Trista, if there is anyone who can figure out how to solve this, it's the wizard." Boromir said as he sat down next to Trista and took her hand and kissed it in an attempt to calm her down. Which seemed to work.
"Thank you, Boromir." Trista said, as she tried to hope against hope that they will succeed.
Well the first sign of romance in this entire fic, but not the last, hopefully. Oh and there is going to be slight teensy itsy bitsy little non- graphic totally consensual already accepted mentioning of yuri, maybe, I think. But besides that, I really like writing this and I really like it that some of you really like this. Oh and my choice for the Heir of Isildur is very different and some may not like it, but it will open new doors of humor for the entire thing. So keep on enjoying it, I hope.
