The chosen few
By Ava De Longe
She walked swiftly down the hall fallowed by two orcs. She was not in a good mood for the ranger, Strider, had gotten to the ring bearer first and not her. She was irritated by this because the Nazgul had not done their job correctly so she summoned them into a dark black shadowed hall that had none a light to see in. She motioned for the first one to come forward. She scowled at it as it coward before her. Who knew such a foreboding thing that was terrified by nearly all of Middle-Earth could be scared, nay, terrified of such a being. "What went wrong?" She demanded to know.
"They were not there Lady Terrance. They were gone by the time we got there." It said in a raspy screechy voice. She glared at it for a second and then grabbed its throat as it tried to struggle to get away she squeezed harder.
"I don't want excuses. I want that ring in my hands by the end of the month. If you don't get it by then, then I'll tear out what's left of your heart." She let go of it as it gasped for air. "Now go before I change my mind on letting you keep those rings." She said as she sat down on her black shadowed throne. "What shall I do if I run into my old friends? I think I'll give them a present that they'll never forget." She said to herself. "Guard!"
"Yes Milady?" The orc coward afraid of her wrath if he got something or whatever it is she wants wrong.
"Send fifty of your men to Crafters Woods. I wish to give my old friends a gift." She smiled evilly.
"Yes your eminence." The orc bowed and left. She continued to grin evilly till she thought of what was at hand. She had to get the ring or Saruman would beat her to it and get all the glory from Mordor. She was not going to let that happen again.

The friends were sitting around Blaze on a stump sharpening her daggers, Lighting on a tree branch singing a song that she recently learned, Autumn on the ground reading a book she just wrote, Azul getting chased around by Forest cause she wouldn't give back her boot, and Violet doing a handstand while trying to write her name. "Give it back Azul!" Forest yelled at him.
"Why?"
"Cause I said. That's why! Now give it back! OOF!" Se said as she tackled Azul. They wrestled for a moment and Forest finally got her boot back. "Did you hear that?" She said. She stood and listened hard. Her eyes widened in fright. "Orcs!" She cried the others quickly grabbed their weapons to fight.
Lighting had her lighting bolts, Azul had her lance, Autumn had her bow, Forest had her mace, Violet had her bow, and Blaze had her daggers. They first heard the ground thundering from under their feet. They then saw them coming. Violet and Autumn fired their bows and quickly reloaded. Lighting shot two lightning bolts, Blaze slashed two orcs and soon turned to others. Forest pummeled one in the skull. Azul speared one and turned to another one. It went on like this for about a half an hour.
They soon caught their breath and looked around at the damage. Everything was either broken or torn. "This is not good." Azul said checking her stuff. Everything was destroyed.
"We must go to Rivendell. They know of the ring. They will see fit to what will be done." Blaze said. Violet nodded.
"She's right. If we are to get there we must leave before Terrance sends another fleet of orcs." The others nodded and set to work packing what was left of their home. They soon set off towards Rivendell.

"Perfect. I got them in my trap now. They'll head for Rivendell. There I can unleash my armies and destroy it once and for all. One too many times had Elrond stood in my way, but no more! This time he is mine!" She stroked the scar that Elrond gave her when she tried to attack Rivendell a thousand years ago.

"So you think you can beat me Elrond. Let's see!" She charged at him as he stood his ground. She sliced his arm. They got into an even more heated battle. She trusted. He blocked. He lunged she blocked. This seemed to go on forever. She stopped after a quick block to catch her breath. Elrond too stopped.
"This is futile! Why do you persist on destroying Rivendell!" He glared at her.
"Because, my dear king, Rivendell created me. They made me stand aside for someone who was clearly not better than me. They pushed me aside for beauty, not smarts, not bravery, not love. They pushed me aside for your daughter! That is why I persist! That is why I hate you and your kind!" She lunged suddenly and knocked Elrond's sword from his hand. She knocked him to the ground. She sneered at him and laughed. "You are pathetic. The king of Rivendell slain by an elder elf. Isn't that a nice way of ending your life." She raised her sword ready to plummet it into his heart. He quickly grabbed a scolding hot candelabrum. He lifted it and smashed it into her right cheek. She screamed out in pain and dropped her sword to clutch her cheek.
"You fool! You will pay for this! I swear as long as I live I will hunt you and I will kill you if it's the last thing I do!" With that she ran away clutching her face.

She growled at the memory. She could still feel the scolding hot metal against her skin. She looked in a mirror across from her and saw it. The circle with the four triangles boxed around it. She grew infuriated and threw a stone ball at it. It shattered to pieces before her. She soon stormed out of the room. She went to her room and drew out her sword. She swung it once and sliced a candle. She tipped it over while saying, "I'll get you Elrond, if it's the last thing I ever do." She sheathed her sword and went to rally her troops to march to Rivendell.
On the way to Rivendell
"I'm hungry." Azul whined.
"We all are, but we can't stop or the orcs might over take us. Don't worry. I'm sure we'll be there by sunset tonight." Blaze said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"How long has it been since we've seen Terrance?" Autumn asked.
"Close to a thousand years. Ever since she attacked Rivendell." Forest said.
"I remember now. That's when Lord Elrond gave her that scar wasn't it?" Violet said. Forest nodded.
"Hey I think that I see Rivendell! There it is! Come on we're almost there!" Lighting called. Everyone sighed and ran to catch up with her. When they came to the gates they were halted by Glorfindale.
"Hello fair elders. What brings you here to Rivendell?" He asked.
"Terrance." Blaze said. He's eyes widened.
"She must be on her way here then." He said thoughtfully.
"That's what I'm thinking. She should be here by sunset tomorrow night." Forest said.
"We must inform Lord Elrond. Quickly follow me." He said as he led them inside and asked an elf to get Lord Elrond immediately. The elf nodded and went off to get his master.
"Lord Elrond will see you in his study." The elf said returning.
"Very well. Thank you Lorena." He replied and led the way to Lord Elrond's study. He knocked on the door once he arrived.
"Enter," came a voice from with in. Glorfindale opened the door for the ladies and closed it behind him. "Elders. Why have you come?" Elrond asked looking up from a book he was looking at.
"It's Terrance. She's starting up again. I fear she has her eye set on Rivendell again." Blaze said.
"I see. We have another item at hand. The one ring has surfaced. We have to destroy it or all is lost."
"That is what I'm afraid of My lord." Blaze said with fear intent in her eyes.
