Well thanks to all the reviews (a grand total of 1!) and well so far I have
a whole bunch of ideas for this story. It's going to go a little slower
until about February because I've got Model UN and Forensics plus my
teachers are laying it on thick for mid terms already. I've also got like
20 contests coming up for my violin, so I'm stuck practicing for a while.
Sorry.
Well on with the story.

Chapter 3
Legolas walked back to the great hall, where he saw Lord Elrond. "Legolas, the great lady has told me what she has told you about the quest, and a bit more. You must promise me that you will not cause war with Haldir. This matter affects you both deeply. I will call a meeting for our guests so that they know. But we will have trouble holding back Elizabeth and Trinity. Eve will not be easy either. Also my human counterpart should accompany you. But watch out for him. He will try and kill the new stranger on this journey. Oh and do not be surprised in Moria. I have a feeling you will meet some old acquaintances there."
"My lord, what is this quest about? Please tell me." Legolas pleaded.
"I cannot tell you that. But forget about that now. We must oblige to the great lady. Go and collect the travelers. You should leave as soon as possible." And with that, Elrond turned on his heel and walked away.
Legolas walked back into the garden to find Neo and Trinity talking with Will and Jack. Elizabeth was walking toward them from the opposite direction as Legolas walked toward them. "Come my friends Lord Elrond has called a secret meeting for us all." And with that he left to find Rick, Alex, Ardeth Bey, and Eve.
Legolas found the group on the balcony overlooking the waterfalls. "Come," he said, giving the group a fright. "Elrond has called for a secret meeting for us." Rick, Alex, Ardeth and Eve got up and followed Legolas to the meeting.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"My friends, you have been called here for one purpose. Lady Galadriel from the forests of Lorien has asked me to put together a quest. Some of you will oppose my choice of the people who are to go on this expedition but in the end, you will understand." Elrond sat and looked around, as if waiting for someone to speak. "Rick O'Connell. You and Legolas will head this expedition. Jack Sparrow and William Turner, you both will assume second in command. Ardeth Bey, and Neo, you both will be the bodyguards of this expedition. Alexander O'Connell. If your parents will allow it, I wish for you to go along. Agent Smith. Come forth please. You are to go but do realize, everyone in this expedition has permission to kill you for whatever cause. If you are willing to go as a friend and ally, then take your seat. Otherwise, leave this council now." Agent Smith took his seat. Elrond continued. " You eight have been chosen and will meet the ninth member outside of Moria." Lord Elrond paused for a moment as if daring the others to speak.
"But what about us women?" protested Elizabeth. "We are to just wait here and not do anything while the men go to some unknown peril?"
"I will not send my husband and son on a voyage in which I do not have any part in! We will go with them whether you like it or not!" said Eve with anger.
"Seeing as I could kick any one of those guys' ass any day, I will not sit here and act like a little snobby princess waiting for my knight in shining armor to come a rescue me. I am sorry. Too bad. Neo I'm going to go pack some provisions for us. Coming ladies?" Said Trinity.
"Of course!" said Elizabeth and Eve at the same time. The women stalked out of the meeting without looking back.
"Well so much for keeping the women back." Said Legolas to Elrond.
Elrond just sat there holding his head and sighing. Legolas could tell he was stressed. He got up and left to go pack his bags. The rest of the men followed in the same suit.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"We need to find Legolas a girl." Said Neo to Will as they walked down toward the city limits.
"Ah, see that's what you don't understand. Legolas had a girl. Buffy the vampire slayer. First female Medjai ever. Well, she did her job as a Medjai. Three years ago, at the end of the last war of the free people, Buffy took the evil ring from Frodo, the little child that you se in all the murals, and she fell back into the fire of Mount Doom, destroying all evil." Will explained to Neo.
"If she destroyed all evil, what are we doing?" Asked Neo.
"No idea." Said Will.
"Good you have all come." Lord Elrond said. "Meet up with Haldir outside of Moria." With that the group left Rivendell.
Please R&R
Well on with the story.
