Chapter seven: The council of Elrond
Nendili walked toward the council meeting with no more knoweledge of her past than when she had first sat down in the Gazebo. She was puzzled, because she didn't know why she would be attending a meeting of the council of Elrond. They met up with two short men who were quickly introduced to Nendili as Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee. A loud bell rang out and signaled a warning for all of those who would be late to the council. They were led by Gandalf to a large porch, Sam forgotten behind. Elrond was there, and several others were seated in sience around him. The same man who had been seen with Arwen stood in a corner to himself. Frodo was taken to Elrond's side and announced.
"Here, my friends, is the hobbit, Frodo, son of Drogo. Few have ever come here through greater peril or on an errand more urgent." he then introduced everyone else, several elves. A dwarf named gimli, Aragorn the man who had been with Arwen, a man named boromir from the south, Legolas who stood by her side, and finally she was introduced.
"And this would be Nendili, an elf of foreign lands who has also asked many questions, though not verbally that may be answered here." she blushed as several apprasive and not so enthusiastic looks were cast upon her. Legolas' hand found her shoulder and he gripped it comfortingly.
Elrond then called upon three other elves. One of red hair named, Feanaro. She had a grace about her that was unrecognisable, and yet it felt warmly familiar to Nendili. The other two were as different as night and day. One silver-haired with blonde streaks down it's entirity, named Calaquendi. The other with dark brown hair and ice blue eyes, named Helca. His eyes conveyed love and warmth that betrayed their colour.
Several things were discussed, events of the wide lands of Eastern mountains, and rumors of revolutions and battle plans. Then finally a topic was reached that everyone had a say in. the discussion fell upon Moria and the dark happenings that were going on all throughout Middle-earth. Finally a short man-Hobbits as she learned they were called- began telling a great tale of a ring and dark lords of old. After he had finished, Gandalf stood and began speaking of things that Nendili didn't understand, of reading ancient scrolls and such. But one thing that he said struck a chord with her:
'One Ring to Rule them All, One Ring to bind them, One Ring to bring them all, And in the darkness bind them...'
This caused such a stir inside her that she got a little dizzy. Memories began flooding back to her, memories of battles and things she had never seen. And yet, She was in these memories. As were several of the people standing on the great porch. She at last cleared her head as Legolas began to shout, his face contorted in distress,
"Alas! Alas! The tidings with which I was sent must now be told..." he went on to tell how the creature Gollum had escaped. After several minutes of distressful talk about the creature, topics were turned again, this time to a man named Saruman who apparently was a powerful Wizard, more powerful than Gandalf himself. Gandalf told another tale of how Saruman had betrayed them all. Nendili began getting very tired of all of this nonsense and wished that she had declined to come to this silly meeting. She was about to drift off when they gained her interest back. Topics turned back to this ring they had been discussing.
"Then," said a man by the name of Erestor, "There are but two courses, as Glorfindel already has declared: to hide the ring forever; Or to unmake it. But both are beyond our power..." they sat for a minute, all thinking when finally Elrond spoke.
"We must take it to Mordor. We must send the ring to fire."
Silence fell again. Nendili felt a deep darkness rise up from her soul. Something about this had to do with her, but she didn't know what. Boromir began to speak about Saruman again. It was obvious he hadn't any understanding of what was to be done. Then there was much talk about how to get the ring to Mordor. Elrond kept talking about 'they' and 'them' which confused Nendili, because as she understood it, only one person could weild that ring. Finally her question was answered as Bilbo Baggins, uncle of Frodo, asked the same question aloud.
"The messengers who are sent with the ring." Elrond answered.
"Exactly! Isn't that what we are really here to decide??? Can't you tell us who? I am very moody when I miss my noon-time meal..." no one spoke. Everyone sat deep in thought. The noon bell tolled in the distance when suddenly a small voice spoke.
"I will take the ring," It was Frodo, "though I do not know the way..."
Suddenly stricken by the seriousness of this situation, she found words were spilling from her lips, words that her brain had not formed.
"And I will travel with him." it had not only been her voice though. the three elves who had been introduced as Feanaro,Calaquendi,and Helca, had also said the same words. Legolas looked down at her in shock and then up to the others. Elrond just took on a look of great keenness.
"If I have understood eveything in this council correctly, I think this is a job that could not be performed any better by any other besides master Frodo... And if I have correctly interpreted a Prophecy that even now lays written on parchment of old in my chambers, you four are the best to go with him."
"But surely you do not mean for him to travel with only four elves as company Master?" Sam called out, tumbling out from his hiding place behind a great pillar.
"No indeed!" said Elrond, turning towards him with a smile. "you at least shall go with him. It is hardly possible to seperate you from him, even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not."
Sam sat down, blushing and muttering. "A nice pickle we have landed ourselves in, Mr. Frodo!" he said, shaking his head.
