Chapter VI
Elrond called a council meeting. Willow and Lily felt a little out of place in being the only females invited. But being of the future about 4400 years worth they really were out of place.
They were getting dressed with the clothes they left for the girls. Willow was taking her shirt off and put it on the chair she was by when Lily looked up and saw something on her back. "Will?" she said.
She went to her to see what it was.
Will looked at her "What?" she looked at Lily behind her"What is this? A Tattoo?" She said to Willow. She looked lost as she had no idea what Lily was talking bout "A tattoo? no my mom told me long ago that it was a birth mark why?"
"Oh I though it was a tattoo." She said and went back to her clothes "So you have a ring shaped- birth mark?" She said with a smirk. Will looked at her smiling "Yeah my mom said she did not know where or how I got it" Lily took her unbuttoned shirt off her shoulder when Will said facing her.
"This might be weird or crazy...but turn around I want to see if you have one." Willow said. Lily complied and turn around shirt on the floor. She went up to her and scanned her back, but she got nothing. She sighed and looked up. "I see my guess was wrong" Long sigh "Oh well"
Lily put her hand on her shoulder "It's ok Will you had something and went with it, there is nothing wrong with that" Willow just smiled at her friend then laughed "We go from Hellmouths and end of world prophecies to this strange land in the distant past""Yeah put that way sounds like a normal day in SunnyDale witch sounds sad, but it does"
Lily moved her hand from Will's shoulder when she eyes grew wide. "Lily?!" she said as she grabbed her arm and there in plan sight was a mark. She stared at it A Leaf? she thought to her self. Lily caught her staring at her birth mark.
"Oh that? a Birth mark.....never knew why it was a leaf? oh well" Will let go to was trying not to give herself a headache from all the information she was all at once. They continued getting dressed.
Gandalf came to get the two girls and escorted them the meeting. When they walked in Elrond looked around and saw them then turned to the group of people in the hall and said.
"May I welcome and present Willow Lady of Fire and Lily Lady of Ice." Elrond said.
Everyone was in awe of the two young ladies. The girls took the empty chairs in the circle and sat
down. Will was seated on the other side of Frodo.
He was smiling and Will was holding his hand. Elrond continued talking "We all are here to discuss a very real threat to us" He paused "Frodo Baggins bring forth the ring" Frodo got up and approached the altar hesitantly
He put the ring on the altar then went back to his seat to grip Wills hand a little tight breathing in a short gasp. All eyes were on the ring. People were talking and mumbling about the ring when.
"It's a gift , long have my father and our men kept the border among Gondor and Mordor. Your lands are protected by the blood of our people. Give us the weapon of the enemy we shall use it right"
Will shot up out her seat "No! You cannot use that thing, It's just evil." Lily said from her seat. "Yes this ring was only made for evil, it has no purpose for good" she paused and sighed "The only thing you will get out of that ring is loose of free will and death"
The man that spoke looked at both the girls with angry more at Lily then Will for Lily was
calm and quiet cold about the fact. "That's right, the ring has only one master and will work for no one but him, we cannot use it for any purpose" said Strider.
"And what would a Ranger know about this?"said the same cocky guy. When the elf next to Lily shot up and said in defense "This is no mere Ranger!" Okay at that time Lily looked straight at him. She felt something and she could not shake this feeling.
"This is Aragorn, Isildur's heir and heir to the throne of Gondor" The man was still staring at Lily when he added the elf into the mix Lily had a enough of it. Aragorn tried to stop Legolas in Elvish when Lily stood up.
"You Know what I do not know what your problem is nor do I care, but you need to quiet acting so childish cause what we are dealing with now is very life threating and we do not have time to hold grudges against someone cause of your misfortune" she said to the man .
After that the Dwarf swung his ax at the altar and it shattered but the ring was still intact. When the ax made a Impact on he ring Frodo cringed and Will felt as well. "The ring cannot be destroyed by any means known to use Gimli of Gloin" said Elrond in a tired tone.
Will and Lily snickered at him for his stupidity. He glared at both of them. Lily was getting a lot of that in this meeting. "The ring can only be destroyed in the same fiery pit where it was forged. The ring must be thrown back in the fire of Mount Doom in the Land of Mordor" Said an unknown voice.
Lily whispered under her breathe at that "Oh such an encouraging place to visit" Will followed suit even though she was across the room. "Yeah real reassuring" Frodo smiled at Will he found the humor in what they wee saying as well. At that moment the nobleman spoke in a laughing tone.
"One does not simply walk into Mordor. It is a barren wasteland filled with poisonous fumes. On top of that, there is the Eye." he said and paused. "Not with then thousand men could you do this"
Lily said to herself even though it was heard through out the court. "I hope that was not his Idea of a pep talk cause that just sucked" Some of the people were snickering from her remark.
"One of us must do this, it is the only way" Legolas said. Lily again focused on the elf speaking. She was going to learn his name. When the Dwarf had an out burst. "And I suppose you think you should be the one. I will die before I see an elf in possession of the ring of power never trust a Elf!"
Lily had enough of these cocky and pig-headed men of this world. She shot up from her seat to be standing beside Legolas. "Then I suggest you die, or you need help with this task? Cause I can help with that, I know one thing do not EVER in my presence discredit Elves! Got me!"
Everyone including Will and Legolas were studded at her outburst. "Why do you defend them?! They are a lowly race." Gimli said mad at this slip of a girl "Like Dwarves are any better, Lowly race in deed. I agreed to come here and help , but I will not sit back while you bad mouth Elves just to feel big!"
Then the whole council was in an uproar. Lily noticed will holding her head in pain before she could go to her she heard Frodo whimper she looked down to see him. Willow hugged Frodo to make the pain go away and the both got a jolt of a vision. A lidless eye encased in flames. Frodo opened his eyes looked at Will and then the court.
He got up and said "I will take it" but alas he was not loud enough. A few more times he was heard.
Gandalf closed his eyes in resignation. While Will let a tear leak out for her eye. Everyone looked at him.
"I will take the ring into Mordor." he said with a pause. "Only I do not know the way" Willow went and took his hand "I'm going too, Where he goes I go" Lily understood the underlined meaning of her words. "I will lend my skills to you my friend" she said with a smile. He smiled back.
"My little ones. You will not carry this burden alone. I will carry it with you for as long as you have it to bear." Gandalf said as he looked at the three proudly. Will and Frodo just smiled at him, happy he was coming. Aragorn comes next.
"By my life or death, I will protect you. My sword is at your disposal" And then the elf came in after. "And my Bow!" Lily looked up at him. While the Dwarf said "And my Axe." "The fate of us all is on your shoulders. We are all counting on you."
Said the nobleman to Frodo. Then Sam just bursted through the meeting running to Frodo. "Hey! Mr.Frodo is not going without me" Both girls just smiled at him. "Indeed it would not be so......It is hardly possible to separate you to, even when he was invited to a secret meeting and you were not"
Elrond said to Sam. Sam looked down for a moment then the another outburst. Merry and Pippin got themselves in the group. Lily giggled at the un order of this meeting. Elrond sighed and then went on to say.
"Very well, Our Ladies of the Fire and Ice and their nine warriors. You shall be known as The Fellowship of The Ring" Elrond dubbed them and everything was fine till Pippin had to say something crazy that made the to girls laugh.
