Chapter 2
Ete and Merut quickly jumped up and screamed. Not because of the fact that they had been lying on the lap of the gorgeous Elf god himself, but because they were expecting to be in a water-filled riverbed. Not in, wait. Where were they?
"Excuse me," said Gimli the dwarf, sitting to the left. "But I thought we were here to talk about how the ring should be handled, not the strange appearances of Elf ladies."
"What elf-?" Merut said, turning her head to the left to look at Gimli and Ete.
"Wait. Elf?" Ete said, trying to turn her eyes to look at her ears. She quickly gave up on that endeavor and reached her hand up to her ears. She gave a squeak and then looked to the ground. "We're the elves." Ete said in a whisper to Merut.
"Excuse me, ladies." Elrond said from behind them. The two girls turned around and looked up.
"Lord Elrond." Merut and Ete said, curtsying out of reflex.
"Hey!" Merut said quietly. "When did I get a dress?"
"When did I get long sleeves... and hair?" Ete said to herself. It was only then that they realized that their clothes had changed from "Pirate gear" and the mustard, short sleeved gown to angel wings for each of them and Ete's hair was turned black and grown down to her waist.
"What's that?" Elrond said to the girls.
"Nothing!" Merut and Ete said simultaneously.
"Well, who are you?" Elrond said, starting to circle the girls.
Merut decided to speak first.
"I'm Ab-." Merut said, instinctively going for her normal name, Abbatha. She was reminded that she couldn't be "Abby" by Ete, who jabbed Merut in the stomach. "Merut."
"And where are you from?" Elrond said.
"Um, I'm from...."
"Mirkwood!" Ete piped up. "And I am Ete, from Rivendell."
"Why have I not seen you before?" asked Elrond, starting to grow curious.
"Well...." Ete said, pleading Merut to help her with her eyes.
"She was visiting me in Mirkwood." Merut said, being clever.
"Very well," Elrond said, still curious, but letting the curiosity fade, "But why are you here?"
"We...." Merut said, thinking. "We heard about your plight!"
"Y-yeah." Ete said. "We heard about the ring."
"How?" asked Elrond, "No one knows bout it. We haven't even brought the subject to the council yet."
"Word travels! Faster than the wind!" Merut said, not knowing exactly how to pull this off.
"I foresaw it!" Ete said.
"You have foreseen it?" Asked Elrond, now very much intrigued by this idea.
"Fore seen it?" Merut said in alarm.
"Yes, Merut." Ete turned quickly to Merut. "You saw it with me, remember?"
Merut looked at Ete as if she had several heads, but then caught on and played with it.
"Um... yes. We can see the future." Merut said slowly. Ete nodded for Merut to continue. "And we decided to come and help."
"We want to help destroy the ring." Ete said to Elrond. "We like to help when humanity and all else is in danger."
There was some silence at the council as everyone stared at the girls.
"I am not wholly convinced." Said Boromir, standing up. "We should test these girls to tell if they really can do as they say."
"Oh, shut up, Gondor-boy. You aren't king." Merut said curtly to Boromir. She quickly turned to Ete and said, "I've always wanted to do that."
"I agree with Boromir." Said Aragorn. "Anyone who just appears without telling should be put under questioning."
"Do you want me to give away the story?" Ete said to Aragorn with fire in her eyes.
"Answer this one question." Elrond said before things got bloody.
"Yes?" Merut and Ete said.
"Who has the ring?"
"This sounds like a child's game." Merut said. "I can give you the whole story behind who got the ring, how he got it, who had it several people before him and how he got here!"
"Sauron, Isildur, Gollum or Smeagol, Bilbo and now, sitting right here in Rivendell is Frodo Baggins from the Shire, thank you very much and now where do we sit?" Ete said with a flourish and a small applause from Merut.
"Brava." Merut said, smiling widely. Everyone else in the council just looked at them as if saying, "How do you know all this?"
"Very well." Elrond said, sighing and waving his hand. There happened to have been two chairs. One was next to Aragorn and the other was next to Legolas. "Be seated."
Merut and Ete looked to each other and sat. The two smiled at each other. Ete sat next to Legolas and Merut sat next to Aragorn with some dismay. The two were happier than they had ever been. They were now part of the Council of Elrond.
