Nobody wins
Chapter 1: Snap out of it!
Elrond sighed as he watched everyone enter. There were so many different feuds between the races and he hoped not to have any arguments during the meeting. This was a very important council for today, they would decide the fate of the one ring.
As he sat in his chair, he watched his sons approach with the other Rivendell Elves. Then came the dwarves, Gimli, followed by Gloin and a few others that Elrond didn't recognize. He saw Gimli take a seat as he muttered to himself. All Elrond could understand was "those damn elves" but he figured he should ignore it. When he turned away from the dwarves, he saw Boromir, son of Denethor, approach the council. Aragorn, son of Arathorn, rightful heir to the throne of Gondor, followed closely behind him. *This should be interesting* Elrond though to himself.
Elrond watched as everyone who had arrived found their way to their seats, in the process giving one another suspicious glares. Last but not least came the elves of Mirkwood. Their entrance was graceful and they were lead by their prince - Legolas, son of Thranduil. As soon as he entered, Elrond saw everyone turn their heads. All eyes were fixed on the young prince. Everyone seemed to smile and Elrond swore he saw a bit of drool forming on the side of Aragorn's mouth. Legolas looked around , smiled awkwardly, and led the elves to their seats. *Why…are they…looking at me… * Legolas though as he sat down. He had traveled a long way to come to this meeting as insisted by his father. "I just want to get this over with" he whispered to one of his close friends.
Elrond called the meeting to order and began to explain the issue. He ignored the fact that many seemed to be daydreaming and continued with his speech.
--------------------------------------------------------
When the young Mirkwood Prince entered, Aragorn forgot everything that he was thinking about. His eyes fixed on the strong, elegant, well toned form of his long time friend. His braided blond hair shined like gold in the sunlight. His face was one that plagued Aragorn's dreams on many nights. He had been friends with Legolas for a long time, and for that long time, he had wanted more then just friendship. He had hoped Arwen would take his mind off of Legolas and since he had not seen him for a long while, it seemed to have been working. But as soon as he saw his old friend again, he knew he could not lie to himself any longer. *Long have I dreamt about you Legolas.. I hope you will return my feelings*. He found it hard to listen to Elrond when he started the meeting, for his thought had taken the better of him.
--------------------------------------------------------
Gimli was in shock, who was this creature that had just arrived to the council. Though Gimli hated elves, especially those related to Thranduil, he found it hard to resist the urge to mentally strip Legolas of ALL his clothes! *that is one…woah…that elf…woah* Gimli though as a bit of drool fell from his slightly parted mouth. I went unnoticed due to his overly bushy beard.
-------------------------------------------------------
Merry and Pippin were standing off to the side. They tried very hard to stay out of Lord Elrond's view. He had not invited them to this council but they could not help their curiosity. Merry saw Legolas enter. "He's hot!" he said aloud. Pippin looked ready to jump on Merry at any second. "I saw him first." They both glared at each other and fought a battle in their minds. 'What do I value more… a creature fairer than any I've ever seen .. Or my kin?" That same thought ran through both of their minds. However, they soon forgot about each other and let their eyes fall on Legolas.
--------------------------------------------------------
Boromir was suspicious of all of the guests that had been invited to this meeting. He didn't trust anyone there and wanted to bring the ring back to Gondor, to his father. However, when Legolas entered, he lost focus of all his thoughts and gazed upon the young prince in awe. * surely someone is playing tricks on my mind. There is no way anyone could be as fine as he is.* Boromir mentally slapped himself. * Wait a minute…I cant be… I'm not…there's no possible way…he is a…a…a…he.* Boromir thought to himself *Oh but he's just so beautiful.*
---------------------------------------------------------
The guests of the council were just taking their seats. Frodo sat at the end, trying to stay hidden. He tried not to get in anyone's way. They all seemed a little annoyed by one another's presence. Suddenly, Frodo saw their stone faces brighten and all of their heads faced in one direction. Frodo turned to see what they were looking at. His jaw dropped. Right before him, stood the most gorgeous elf he had ever seen. As Legolas walked to his seat, Frodo's eyes quickly shot to the elf's firm behind. *uuu…uuu…hhuuuu* there were no words.
---------------------------------------------------------
Sam was hiding behind some shrubbery because Elrond had not invited him to the council. He had promised to watch over Frodo, and was set on keeping that promise for as long as their journey would take. Sam was pulling a twig out of his hair when he noticed the Mirkwood Elves had arrived. His eyes shot to the leader, whom Sam assumed to be prince Legolas. *wow, elves really are the most beautiful creatures in all of Middle Earth. That prince Legolas is very fine indeed. He seems strong and handy to have around in a tight spot* Sam thought to himself. He looked forward to eventually meeting this elven prince.
----------------------------------------------------------
*ah yes, young prince Legolas…he has certainly grown up into a fine…fine… fine, elven prince. He must have many female elves lining up at his door. Yes, indeed he is a pretty sight.* Gandalf thought . *He is a strong warrior and will make his father proud.* He was shaken from his thoughts, however, when he noticed that Elrond had been talking for a while now.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Legolas sighed as he looked around. Many of the guests seemed to be lost in their own thoughts. This made him a little apprehensive. What were they thinking of? What could be more important than the fate of Middle Earth? Even his old friend, Aragorn, gave him chills. *This will be a long, long day* he thought to himself.
