Chapter 11: High stakes

~*~

The hours passed and the council had been summoned. I sat down, rage still in my heart, and fire in my eyes. Elrond told of what happened to thea and what I had encountered in the cells. Dolenagarion was to be tried. If found guilty, I was to destroy him.

Dolenagarion was dragged into the circle. I glared at him, making sure he knew that his hours were numbered. Thea remained in the healing wing. I refused to have her here for this. She wasn't emotionally strong enough to deal with it.

The trial was now to begin.

"Dolenagarion son of Dolmanior, you have been found guilty of treason and rape. What do you plead?" Elrond stated calmly, controlling his anger well.

"She wanted it, the whore, she wanted it and she knew it." He spat out, slyly.

"She did not! She told you to stop!" I stood up shouting. "You F***ing liar! Admit it!" I had to be dragged to my seat and pinned there by Elrohir, Elladan and Legolas.

"Calm yourself mellonamin. It will not make things better." Legolas whispered to me.

"What do you plead?" Elrond pushed.

"Not guilty." Dolenagarion said.

"My lords and ladies, you have heard the facts, and the offenders plead. Dolenagarion tell us in your own words what happened that night." Elrond said.

"Thea took me back to her room to talk. She was hinting at it. She wanted it. I thought she was just being a tease. So I… well…you know… bedded her, but she kept screaming no. I thought it was her way." Dolenagarion stated. I didn't trust him. He was lying.

"Liar!" I shouted again and Legolas covered my mouth with his hand.

Dolenagarion then continued. "Then the door was being knocked on. I thought it was a servant. I had locked the door earlier so there were no interruptions. Again knocking on the door. Then a few minutes later, something was striking it at. I thought it was nothing so I continued. Then all of a sudden, people barged their way in, attacking me. I fought back as anyone would in defence, but I was out numbered. I was then pinned to the ground, knocked out and I found myself in a cell. That was when she appeared." He said pointing at me. I squirmed in my seat, trying to get free. "She yelled at me, saying she would kill me. That she elf continued to yell at me than walked off. I do not deny I have been working with the Lady of Darkness for some time." He said, a smirk creeping across his face.

"Please, all here before this criminal today, decide your verdict." Elrond said. Then each in turn said that he was guilty. When it came to my go, the boys had no choice but to let me go.

"I think you know my verdict. Guilty as doth the orcs roam again." I said loudly.

"Then it is decided, Dolenagarion, you shall hence forth be killed by the sword… tonight at the hour of 8." Elrond said, then he signalled for the criminal to be taken away. "Blythe, as per your request, you shall destroy that beast. Now, we must decide what be done about the new evil."

Suddenly, Gandalf appeared. "I am sorry for my lateness Milord. It is true, a dark power is rising. I myself have ridden to the borders of Mordor. Evil has risen and an army is being formed."

"Than we have quite a decision to make." Elrond said, bowing his head.

"My lord, please, can we not find out the purpose of this evil from that scum who is to die?" Asked a human with bronze-ish hair around jaw length. She wasn't tall at all. She had been greatly angered by the crimes committed and gave her verdict without hesitating. She stood firm and proud.

"Yes, I believe Philomel has a point Lord Elrond. I shall ask the questions if you wish? There are many answers I wish to find out also." Gandalf replied.

"En rant Gandalf, but please, make haste, we have little time to spare. Council adjourned until the questions we seek have been answered." Elrond said. He then walked off, proud, but broken. All this had taken quite a toll on him, and I know that he wished to meet the undying lands soon.

As I walked briskly away, I was stopped by the one referred to as Philomel by Gandalf.

"Milady, I am sorry for all that has happened to your sister." She said, bowing.

"Thank you, I am grateful for what you said today." I replied, smiling.

"He deserves what he will get milady." Spoke up her companion. "I am Ilana. Please, I offer my services to where they are needed."

"Thank you, please, come now and dine with me."

Vala, Linnende, Philomel, Ilana and myself sat around at lunch, discussing the matters at hand. Especially the new evil rising from Mordor.

"What can we do? All the males will probably be sent out to fight while we stay here and keep the house clean. If this is the end then I will face it too!" I said, slamming my fist on the table.

"But Blythe, you cannot wield a weapon, you will stand no chance." Linnende said, getting worried. I had let me emotions overrule me. They would consume me if I were not careful.

"I know that! But I will learn! As soon as this trial is all over and the council is out of the way, I will make sure somebody teaches me the skills I need."

"Well than Milady, we shall help you!" said Philomel, standing up and putting her hand in the centre of all of us. "To the end we fight! Together!"

I stuck my hand in and said, "Together!" The rest followed suit, except for Linnende. She looked worried.

"I don't know if this is such a good idea. Blythe, you can barely lift a sword, what makes you think you can use one properly by the time it is needed?"

"Because I know I can. All you need is hope, and you can conquer the world! Linnende. I will be ready. Look who I have to teach me!" I said, keeping my hand in the circle.

"Fine……………I'm in!" said Linnende, throwing her hand in.

Back at the council…

There was a lot of talking until Elrond and Gandalf entered the circle.

"Well, what did he say?" shouted one of the men from Gondor.

"He refused to speak. I tried my hardest, but no word could refuse his mouth. In the end he took out a dagger that he had stolen and killed himself. He took the coward's way out. But he had punished himself." Gandalf said, slowly sitting down in his chair, His head in his hands.

"My lord, what can we do? We do not know what his wishes were. What the wishes of evil were." Said Legolas.

"I do not know. Gandalf, what do you prescribe?" Elrond said.

"We can not risk open war. There are too many to fight, even with every race combined. We must send out spy's." Gandalf replied, lifting his head.

"Spy's? That is too dangerous! No one would accept!" Elrond said, a great fear in his eyes.

"Oh yes they would!" I said standing. "My lord, with or without your permission, I will find out what you need. I know what I need to go, and what to do."

"And I will follow her!" said Vala.

"So will I!" shouted Philomel.

"To the end!" shouted Ilana.

"Count me…in!" said Linnende. This time, she did not hesitate.

"No! There is no way you are going anywhere!" Elrond shouted.

"Wanna make a bet. My dear Uncle. Please, trust me judgement. They will not expect this!" I said, walking over to my uncle, bending down on one knee and taking his right hand. "I promise you, I will make it. If I am taught to fight, will you reconsider?"

"No, well, we shall see." He replied

"Yes!" I shouted, jumping into the air, punching my fist into the atmosphere.

"Lord Elrond, I would like to represent the hobbits and accompany these ladies on their journey." Spoke a small hobbit, sitting next to Samwise Gamgee. "I am Elanor Gamgee, at your service." She said bowing.

"Yes, but you too must learn how to wield a sword. It will be a long, hard road, I hope you all know. It won't be easy. Please, all be careful. I want you all back here, whence you return in one piece." Elrond replied.

"Welcome aboard Elanor!" I said holding out my hand.

"Thankyou Milady. I will serve you in any way I can, like my father has to Frodo." She said, taking my hand and shaking it.

"Well, I suppose we had best get practising our weapons." I said, walking off. Somehow, my heart felt lighter. My spirit, freer. My companions followed me and we left to find the weapons smith.

A/N: Well the three musketeers…ehem… sorry the girls are right to go! Well, sorta. Will Thea ever be sane again? Will Blythe ever figure out how to use a sword? Is Uncle Elrond going to let them go? Stay tuned to find out next time on Purple Sky.

(Theme music played here: A new beginning by Good charlotte.)

Entwife: I am so sorry it took me so long to fit you into the story! Please forgive me! Elanor seems to be like you have suggested. Shy until u get to know her then really really talkative. She will definitely get along with Bly.

Oracle 10: Ilana will always be included and her skills will be needed soon I expect. She won't be having a small part soon, that's what I'm aiming for with all the girls. To have equal likeable parts in this epic.

Levanna: I luv ur story! Rock on chicken!

Yeah, I'm so sorry the chapters have been rushed, I think I'm just so preoccupied with exams and stuff, but hey! Its da holidays now! Yeah!
