A meeting was held in Elrond's courtyard. They tried to decide the fate of
the ring. One of the men, Boromir of Gondor, was trying to take the ring
for himself, trying to convince the others of Gondor's need for it. Aragorn
told him the ring answered to Sauron alone.
Boromir stood and faced Aragorn. "And what, would a ranger know of this matter?" he asked rudely.
Legolas jumped up. "This is no mere ranger! He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn, you owe him your alliegiance."
Boromir was shocked. "Aragorn! This, is Isildur's heir."
"And heir to the throne of Gondor!" Legolas stated.
Aragorn just shook his head. "Havo dad, Legolas." he told him.
Legolas sat back down beside Sayowyn. "Do they not understand, the ring must be destroyed! It must be taken to Mount Doom, there is no other way!" Sayowyn thought-spoke to Legolas. After more arguing was done, Legolas stood yet again and stated what she had said.
Gimli the Dwarf jumped to his feet and argued with him. Then all at once a fight erupted. All stood and argued but Frodo and Sayowyn, who looked at one another. "You must do this." Sayowyn told him.
Frodo stood now. "I will take it!" He repeated once more, before the fighting stopped. "I will take the ring to Mordor! Though, I do not know the way." he said.
Gandalf told him he would help the hobbit. Aragorn also swore an oath to protect Frodo. "And you have my bow." Legolas said, joining the group. Sayowyn could not believe her ears. Legolas, go into Mordor? The dwarf joined, and so did Boromir. The three other hobbits ran out to join what was now known as the Fellowship of the Ring.
"I will accompany them to the woods of Lothlorien." Sayowyn stood.
Elrond frowned. "A princess cannot do this. You will face many dangers, Sayowyn."
"Then let them faced. I am representing the elves of Lothlorien." she told him, and that was that.
The next morning the group of 10 set out, Sayowyn leaving Naro in Rivendell's care until she could come and take him later on. For 40 days they travelled, getting to know one another. All of the fellowship was enthralled with Sayowyn, who seemed to glow.
They sat down to eat lunch and fool around on one of the many rock formations. Some ate, some played and learned sword fighting skills. Gimli began to suggest taking the mines of Moria, which Gandalf dissmissed instantly. Sayowyn stood on one of the rocks, staring into the clouds. A moment later she was joined by Legolas, who did not like the look of a small whispy cloud-like formation in the sky. They discussed it for a moment.
"What is that?" piped up one of the hobbits.
"Nothing, it's just a whisp of cloud!" Gimli stated.
Boromir stopped his games with the hobbits. "It's moving fast, and against the wind," he said.
Legolas looked closer. "Crebain from Duneland!" he exclaimed.
Instantly the fellowship began to panic and cleaned up their mess, then ran to hide. Legolas followed Sayowyn and they hid underneath a bush. But the birds had seen the group of ten, and reversed back to Isengard.
Gandalf stated that they must now go over the mountain in order to stop being seen. So they made their way. The journey was long and perilous, but for the elves it was easy, because as they walked along the surface of the snow, the others plowed through it.
Sayowyn got ahead of the others and peered into the distance, listening. She motioned for Legolas to come. "Can you hear that?" she asked him.
Legolas listened carefully. "There is a fell voice on the air!" he told the others.
"It's Saruman!" Gandalf cried. Then a bolt of lightning hit the side of the mountain, bringing down snow to cover the fellowship. Legolas was first out and helped to pull Sayowyn out, who gasped for air.
The others reached the surface as well and disscussed turning back to take another road. Then the subject of Moria was brought up. Legolas and Sayowyn looked at eachother, a fear showing in their eyes. They said nothing, but hoped they would choose another road.
Unfortunatley, for Frodo, the mines sounded like a good idea. "We will go through the mines!" he decided when asked to make a choice.
"So be it." Gandalf said quietly.
Days later they arrived just outside the mines. To the elves, the very name was evil. They did not tell the others their feelings of doubt and fright. While Gandalf tried to open the doors into Moria (which took a while), Legolas and Sayowyn sat nearby.
"We must never linger in one area." Sayowyn stated.
Legolas looked ahead into the water. "I have a bad feeling about the Balrog awakening. Let's hope it does not happen."
Sayowyn nodded. "We narrowly escaped and we are elves. The others are slow because of their size. We won't make it."
Finally, it was Frodo who decoded the doors riddle. The doors opened as soon as he said "Mellon" which was Elvish for "friend." The two elves noticed something moving in the water, and were wary of it until the others entered the mines and they followed..
Boromir stood and faced Aragorn. "And what, would a ranger know of this matter?" he asked rudely.
