~~~ Part 4 ~~~
"I can't believe this!" Exclaimed Buffy, "How am I an Elf?"
"There is something strangely familiar about this, but I don't want to bring it up without everyone present," said Gandalf.
"I agree," said Elrond. "Do you think that you are up to going to a meeting?" Asked Elrond to Buffy.
"I think so. If someone could bring me a change of clothes, that would be great," Said Buffy.
"Wonderful," Said Elrond, "I will have my daughter Arwen bring something for you to wear."
Elrond left in search of Arwen, and Gandalf left to think about what he found familiar about the situation.
When they both left, Buffy pushed her sheets away, and swung her legs to the side of the bed, and stood very slowly. She was relieved to note that she was fully recovered, and had no dizzy spells or anything. Buffy noticed that she was more sensitive to sounds. 'I'm guessing that is due to my new found ears,' she mused.
Just then Arwen came into the room. She had a violet gown in her hands. "'Quel amrun. (Good Morning). Lle tyava quel? (Are you feeling well?)." Arwen asked.
Buffy looked at her surprised, "Uma, diola lle. (Yes, thank you)." Said Buffy. She was surprised to note that not only can she understand what Arwen was saying; she can also speak whatever language they were speaking.
Arwen smiled at Buffy, "I have a dress that you can wear, I can do your hair for you if you like."
"Thanks. I'm really sorry that you have to go through all of this trouble for me," Buffy said.
Arwen said, "Its not a problem." She walked gracefully towards Buffy to give her the dress. Buffy accepted it and went behind the screen that was in the room to change.
~~~
About a half hour later, Buffy was ready to go to the council meeting. She and Arwen walked down the stairs to the meeting area. There she was greeted by a sight of Elves, Dwarfs, Hobbits, and Men.
Legolas was the first to notice Buffy coming down the stairs. He was also surprised to note that Buffy seemed a bit different now than when he first saw her after she came through the portal.
Elrond said, "Good. You are here. Please have seat, the both of you," both Buffy and Arwen complied and sat down at the two empty chairs. {I know Arwen wasn't in the council in either the movie or the book, I just put her there for the next twist coming up. =)}
"I believe we were talking about what to do with the fate of the Ring. Frodo if you would please bring forth the Ring once again." Frodo stood up and walked towards the pedestal, and placed the Ring on it.
Once again everyone was enthralled by the power rolling off the Ring. Buffy was the first to recover.
"We have to destroy it," she said flatly.
Boromir was the first to reply, "Why destroy it when we can use the Ring for ourselves? We can use it to defeat Sauron!" Exclaimed Boromir.
Buffy stood up, "Didn't you hear a word that I said? I said that we have to destroy it! That thing is evil!"
Boromir stalked right up to her, "and who is going to do it little girl? YOU?? You probably couldn't face off an Orc."
Buffy's eyes darkened, "I would watch what you say. ESPECIALLY to me! I have faced countless battles than you can imagine."
"THAT IS ENOUGH!" Yelled Elrond. "I will not tolerate this in my council. Please take your seats."
Boromir walked back to his own seat while Buffy did the same, glaring at him the whole time.
"Now, before we get into what to do with the Ring, I believe Gandalf has some insight as to why our unexpected guest suddenly has Elf ears instead of Human ears. Gandalf if you would please tell us what you know."
Everyone was startled as to what Elrond said concerning Buffy. So that is what was different about her, though Legolas.
Gandalf stood up and said, "While I was looking for information on the Ring, I came across of what looked like a prophecy,"
Buffy groaned, "Not another one."
Gandalf shot her a look. "Sorry," she said sheepishly.
"Now as I was saying, I came across a prophecy that said:
"It shall come to pass that during a time of great darkness, when the world is on the brink of destruction, that a great warrior, a girl strong in heart, mind and body will return to the fair Elven city from which she was taken by way of a mystical portal.
She will have been a mighty fighter in her world where she will have been known as The Slayer. She will have fought the forces of darkness, and stopped the destruction of the world. She will be believed dead by all that loved and know her. She will have sacrificed her life for that of her sisters.
In the world of Middle-Earth her mother will have died to protect her, she will have two Elven brothers, and an Elven sister, who will have fallen in love with the future King of Gondor, and her Elven father will be the Lord of a great Elven city.
The Glamour that has hidden her true identity, from even herself, will be lifted upon returning to her home and family. She is to be part of a great quest to destroy a Dark Lord who wishes to cover the world with a great darkness."
Elrond by this time was sitting in his chair in shock.
"Well, I guess this explains some things," said Buffy.
"Elbereth?? It can't be." Said Elrond.
"It is her my old friend," Said Gandalf. "It can only be her."
"Were you the Slayer back in your world?" Asked Elrond.
"Yes I was," said Buffy softly.
"If I may ask Gandalf," said Boromir, "Who is the future King of Gondor?"
Strider looked around uncomfortably.
"That would be Strider, also known as Aragorn, son of Arathorn, Isildur's heir," said Legolas, standing up. "If I were you I would give him your allegiance."
Boromir looked at Strider, "Aragorn? This is Isildur's heir?"
"And future king of Gondor," Said Legolas.
"Havo dad, Legolas. (Sit down, Legolas.)" Said Aragorn.
"Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king," said Boromir snidely.
"Elbereth is right. The Ring must be destroyed. It is the only choice," said Elrond.
Buffy smiled at him lightly.
"Well then what are we waiting for?" Said Gimli. He stood up and walked towards the pedestal; rose his axe to smash the ring, but the ring was protected by the evil power. Gimli was thrown back to the floor.
Elrond said, "The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess. The Ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. It must be taken deep into Mordor, and cast back into the fiery pit from where it came."
He paused, "one of you must do this."
"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its gates are guarded by more than just Orc's. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly," said Boromir.
"Have you heard nothing that Lord Elrond has said? The ring must be destroyed!" Said Legolas.
"And I suppose you're the one to do this? I would be dead before I see the ring in the hands of and Elf!!" Said Gimli.
By this time everyone was up on their feet arguing amongst one another except for Buffy, Arwen, and Frodo.
Frodo kept on looking at the ring, listening to its evil call. Suddenly he stood up and said, "I will take the ring!" but nobody heard him except for Buffy. He said it again. This time Gandalf heard him and looked at Frodo sadly.
Buffy stood up. "HEY, EVERYONE SHUT UP FOR A SECOND!" She yelled. Everyone turned to her in shock.
She sighed, "Frodo has something to say."
Frodo looked at her gratefully, "I will take the Ring to Mordor, but I do not know the way."
Buffy looked at him, knowing how hard this must be for the Hobbit.
"I will help you carry this burden," said Gandalf, "you have my staff."
"You have my sword," said Aragorn.
"And my bow," exclaimed Legolas. Buffy looked at him, not exactly surprised.
"And my axe!" Boasted Gimli.
"I'm going also," Buffy said suddenly.
Elrond looked at her alarmed, "NO. I will no allow it Elbereth."
Buffy rolled her eyes, "First of all; my name is BUFFY. Second, it says in the prophecy that I have to go. I have to help." She looked at him pleadingly.
"But you are only a woman," said Boromir.
Buffy's eyes darkened again, "I've just about had enough of you."
She walked angrily towards Boromir, picked him up, and threw him across the room. She walked towards him again, and stood over him, "If you EVER argue with me again I will kick your ass! Besides, I didn't hear you volunteer to destroy the ring."
"I was going to," he said groaning, "but you beat me to it."
"Well if you are still going to volunteer you have to promise not to ask about my abilities again. Agreed?"
"Agreed," Boromir said darkly.
"I suppose I can't stop you from going can I?" asked Elrond.
"No you can't. I can't just sit by and let everyone else do the fighting while I have been doing it for the past six years myself," Buffy said looking at Elrond.
"Very well, if you wish," said Elrond defeated.
"Here!" Said Sam jumping from behind the bushes. "Mr. Frodo isn't going anywhere without me."
"No, indeed, it is hardly possible to separate you two when Frodo is summoned to a secret council, and you are not," said Elrond exasperatingly. Buffy looked on amused.
"Were coming too!" Said Merry. Both he and Pippin ran up towards Frodo and Sam. "You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us."
Elrond sighed, "So be it then, ten companions, you shall be the Fellowship of the Ring."
