The Chosen Few

By Ava De Longe



"Go forth and bring victory for your queen my minions!" She yelled at the awaiting army below of about 5 thousand orcs and uru-ki. She laughed evilly as she turned on her heel and walked down there to lead them in the attack against Rivendell. She pulled on a jet black cloak and went down the stairs to her stable for her horse, Nightmare. The black stallion was awaiting her as usual. She mounted and was off. She WAS going to get Elrond no matter what.

In Rivendell

It had been a few days since the girls arrived and it was time for the council to happen. They were all there, Boromir, Aragorn, Gimili, Frodo, Gandalf, Legolas, and of course Sam, Merry, and Pippin in hiding. Elrond stood and everyone silenced. "Friends of old, strangers, and guests. You have been called here under the gravest of circumstances. The one ring has surfaced and we are now faced with a new threat. Terrance, the elder elf who went astray from the path of light over a thousand years before, has regained an army and we fear she may join forces with the dark lord. The ones who have brought this to my attention are the last of the elder elves. Blaze, Autumn, Lighting, Forest, Azul, and Violet." He said their name's in turn for each to stand at their given name.

"My lord was Terrance the one who took siege to Rivendell?" An elf said that was at his side.

"Yes daughter. She has sworn revenge for her outcastment from here. I have marked her with a scar that she made a personal promise to make sure that Rivendell falls. I fear that she is ten times as strong as before. Possibly, nay, IS stronger than Saruman the white." He finished with everyone gasping.

"So you mean for us to fight with you against someone who is stronger than the high wizard himself? That is suicide. How could one go up against that kind of army?" A man with fiery red hair said standing up.

"There is also the matter of the one ring at hand. Frodo bring it out." Elrond said looking at the small hobbit. He took out the ring and set it on the pillar in the middle of the council circle.

"It is a gift from the enemies. Why not use it against Mordor?" The man with red hair stood up again.

"No man, nor elf, or any race for that can wield it. Only the one who created it can." A man in green said.

"And what does a ranger know of this?" The man with red hair said.

"That is no mere ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn, heir to Gondor." A blond elf said standing up.

"Habi dad Legolas." Aragorn said. Legolas sat down as he continued to stare at Boromir.

"Gondor has no king nor do does it need a king." Boromir said as he sat down.

"The only thing we can do with it is destroy it." Gandalf said.

"Gandalf is right." Elrond said.

"Then what are we waiting for?!" , cried Gimili. He drew his ax and hacked at the ring only to have his ax destroyed and him thrown back.

"No hand made weapons can destroy it. Only the fires of Mount Doom were it was forged." Elrond said.

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Not even with ten thousand can you do it. There are much fouler things in Mordor than orcs. The air it self is a poison." Boromir said.

"Have you not heard anything that has just been said? The ring must be destroyed." Legolas said.

"And I suppose you're the one to do it? I'd rather die than see the ring in the hands of an elf!" Gimili cried.

On the way to Rivendell

"Keep moving men! We're almost there!" She yelled over the noise the orcs and uru-ki were making. She smiled at the thought of finally getting her revenge against Elrond. Then a thought jumped into her mind. 'What if he's there?' She frowned. It had been over two thousand years since she's seen him. Legolas was sure to be there is she knew Elrond.

She scowled at the thought of him. He had been her only male friends while the rest of the males looked down on her. He had been there for her when no others were. She was going to get him for abandoning her. Like her other friends. They all abandoned her. They would all pay for the pain they caused her. "Faster men! I want to be there in half an hour!" She heeled Nightmare and got him into a gallop followed by the orcs and uru-ki.

Back in the council

They had gotten into a full blown war on who was going to take the ring to Mordor. Frodo got up the courage to finally say he would take it. "I will take it!" He yelled. "I will take the ring," Everyone stopped fighting and turned to look at him, "though I do not know the way."

"Dear Frodo you have taken a heavy burden upon yourself. I will help you find your way." Gandalf said smiling.

"By life or by death I will protect you. You have my sword." Aragorn said kneeling by him.

"And you have my bow." Legolas said.

"And my ax." Gimili said joining the others.

"Here!" Sam called from behind some bushes. "Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere with out me."

"Seems hardly impossible to keep you apart from him when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not." Elrond said a little amused.

"You're not going anywhere with out us! You'd have to send us back tied in potato sacks." Merry said.

"Besides you need people of great intelligence on this quest.. mission... thing." Pippin said.

"That rules you out Pip."

"You're not going anywhere with out me." Forest said.

"And me." Blaze and Azul said.

"I, Autumn, and Lighting wish to stay if that is alright with you Lord Elrond.

"It is fine with me." He nodded.

"If it is the will of the council I will join as well." Boromir said standing to walk over.

"The fellowship of twelve." Elrond said looking at them.

"Great now where are we going?" Pippin asked. They all looked at him like a dolt.

"My lord! Orcs are attacking the city!" A guard called running into the council.

At the gates of Rivendell

"Stay out of the palace! Go through the streets and take prisoners!" She yelled as she galloped through the gates and on into the court yard. She leaped off and ran into the palace. She opened the door and strode in. The elf inside looked at her. She saw her. Arwen Evenstar.

"You!," She gasped "but how!?"

"It's like this Arwen dear. I'm more powerful now and I can take over any race I want. I'm just starting with elves." She said smiling evilly. (She does tend to do that a lot.) "I'll be with you after I'm done with your father. He and I have some unfinished business." She drew her sword. "Now out of my way or I'll slice you in half." She threatened.

"Never." She whispered. Terrance looked at her and shrugged.

"Your life." She sheathed her sword and grabbed Arwen's throat.

"ARWEN!!" A voice yelled in the distance. Terrance looked to see Aragorn charging at her.

"Well well what do we have here?" She said. "If you come any closer and I'll snap her neck. Oh and believe me I will."

"No." Aragorn said. Terrance laughed and threw Arwen onto Aragorn and ran to the council area.

"Are you alright?" He asked her.

"Yes I'm fine. You must go help my father. She is more powerful than before. She will certainly kill him with out a second thought."
