Okay Celestrial and Kaluriani lands in the council of Elrond. And they find
out that they were sent here for a purpose but everyone laughs at the
thought. Character descriptions in this chapter.
************************************************************************
A fair brown haired man smiles at Celestrial and nods, while the others grumble, for the girl's luggage had landed on them. When Celestrial looks around her she sees people of all sizes and the surrounding area was more glorious than anything on earth. They were in a forest, which looked as if it was clothed with beauty, and grace, it looked like an enchanted forest that she had read in books. The people were even more fascinating than the surrounding forest. There were dwarfs that resembled Vikings, there were mortal men dressed in luxurious fur and silk, there were little man called hobbits, who have leathery feet and an innocent aroma surrounding them, and finally there was the fairest of all, the elves. The immortal elves were like the forest, they looked enchanting, garbed in the fairest cloth made from the nature, and they looked far fairer than books have described them. Could this be a dream, thought Celestrial, am I truly in a land of magic and beauty?
Like Celestrial, Kaluriani was mystified by her surroundings, but unlike Celestrial, she had questions to ask these strange and yet mystical people. Deep within her was an alertness that was hidden from her face, in fact the girl looked so nonchalant that no emotion could be seen or guessed. Elrond, the Lord of Elves knew that these strangely garbed girls must be the saviors that his prophet told him about, but the others would never accept these mortal girls as the liberators of Middle Earth. They were girls, girls don't use weapons or fight.
A fair blond haired man asked why these elvish ladies were dressed in such an abnormal way and why were they hiding in the trees, for this council was about matters of Middle Earth, girls shouldn't worry about these matters. Before the girls could answer Elrond spoke out.
"Legolas, these are not elven ladies, nor are they from Middle Earth, these girls are mortals and they have found the whirlpool of light, which leads the chosen ones into our world. Legend says that the ones who sees the whirlpool of light will help Middle Earth defeat the indomitable. I know that you do not believe me because you don't believe that women can fight and think like men and they do not look like they can help you at first glance but if you look carefully both of them are determined and wise."
A man with golden hair complained to the great and wise lord, saying that the girls would only be a heavy burden for the fellowship, as he said this many members of the fellowship agreed with him, they thought that these girls would slow down their pace and would require constant "rescuing" from the orcs and the ringwraiths. Among those men were Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood, Gimli the dwarf, and Boromir the son of the steward of Gondor.
Aragorn, the man who Celestrial landed on, contradicted the thinking of the others.
"My friends, I know that you think women do not have the strength of a man nor their speed, but if you look closely at their entrance, you will see that they do have the power of a man, as you witnessed Kaluriani landed on the ground as graceful as an elf without a thud or any noise, such grace is not seen among mortals who have not been trained in the arts of fighting, I myself have not even reached that stage. Although she is a girl one can see that she can hide her emotions easily and there is a spark in her eyes, if you ignite that spark you will learn her wrath. Although I can not say anything about Celestrial I know that she must be very talented as well for one can see that Kaluriani does not like to rescue or waste her time on someone who is inferior is the arts of fighting, since she is friends with Celestrial than the lady must be talented as well."
Kaluriani-"Yes, you are right about Celestrial, although she appears to be an very annoying, bouncy, clumsy, and a rather stupid girl, she's actually pretty prudent and less annoying when it comes to fighting. But I cannot vouch for her clumsiness."
While most of the fellowship was convinced, Legolas Greenleaf was still doubtful about letting girls go on this quest. After all, these girls looked like delicate elvish girls how can they fight such gruesome thing as orcs. "Lord Elrond, they can not possibly go on the quest with us it's too dangerous.."
"No Legolas, it is final they will go on the quest with the fellowship and tonight there will be a ball to welcome or guests."
"But."
Aragorn-"Legolas, do not contradict.."

Night time
A fair elvish lady showed up at Celestrial's door to help her get ready for the ball.
"Hello, my name is Arwen, the daughter of the Lord Elrond, and my father sent me here to help you get really for the ball, here is an elven dress that should look becoming on you. That is if you don't have one"
The dress that Arwen hold up was a rose pink dress with ornate details on it. It was sort of puffy and lacey. When Celestrial saw this dress she knew that this dress was for her.
"Thank you Arwen, I love the dress, I even have accessories that would go well with them."
After getting Celestrial got dressed Arwen went to help Kaluriani but she didn't expect so much trouble choosing a dress for the girl. When she showed Kaluriani a white dress like Celestrial's the girl made a face and said that it's too fancy and it's probably as uncomfortable as it looks. After going through a lot of dresses they finally decided on a beautiful and yet simple flowing icy blue dress.
"Kaluriani, do you have accessories to go with the dress?"
"I do and thank you for the dress, it's very nice."
In Legolas' Thoughts At the Ball
How can they be warriors, they look like fairies or elves, I mean look at them. Kaluriani's midnight raven shoulder length hair flowed behind her as if the wind was softly blowing it, and her pale moonlight skin was mystical, her lips were the color of a pale pink rose. Her face belonged to an elfish lady but there was something in her eyes that no elfish lady would have, her dark eyes were filled with alertness and fire, they were like two burning lights. Her dress brought out her coldness even more, on her loose hair were glass icicles, and on her dress were the same cold icicles. Everything about her was withdrawn, cold and mysterious. Celestrial was another matter, she was gentle and kind. Her willow black hair was soft but not flowing, her skin was a lightly tanned color, her eyes were filled with trust, gentleness and innocence. Her lips were a warm reddish pink color that was warm like the rest of her appearance. The pale pink dress was contrasted her figures greatly for the girl was warm and gentle while the dress was pale and withdrawn.
