Title - From One View to Another
Rating - PG
Summary - what do the Fellowship think of each other?
Notes These characters belong to New Line and Tolkien. So don't sue. Iorhael is Frodo in Elvish, Curunir is Saruman and Imladris is Rivendell. Aragorn's Elvish name - Estel - means Hope.
Feedback - yes please! Be nice, this is my first fanfic. Email me at Scullym1uk@yahoo.co.uk Flames will be sent to my pet Balrog Fred.
Blondie 03 - I rule? Really? *does crazy happy dance til passing Hobbits give a strange look* Is this update quick enough for you? *evil smirk*
Sevilodorf - Thanks for putting me on the update list. I am quite flattered that someone would do something like that, especially for someone who has very little experience writing fanfic. Aside from this and the Ring Around the Merry RPG I haven't written any fanfic at all.
AAAclub - I will try to keep each chapter as good as the first two. To be honest, I'm surprised that no-one else has had the exact same idea as this before me!
Queen Arwen - yep it is my first fanfic. I'm planning to write POVs for all the Fellowship, (so don't worry Aragorn will get his turn!) - and if there is people demanding it - a sequel for the non-Fellowship members .
Chapter three as recorded by Prince Legolas Greenleaf, son of King Thranduil of the Forest realm of Mirkwood
Recorded in Edoras, the Capital of Rohan
So much had happened in the few months since our Company left Imladris, and I must record it all before I go with Aragorn, Gimli and the Men of Rohan to Helm's Deep. Mithrandir sacrificed himself to the Balrog of Morgoth, hidden deep in Khazad-dum. Then Boromir - woe for him! - was corrupted by the Ruling Ring and tried to take it from Iorhael. The foul Uruks of Curunir slew him at Amon Hen and abducted Meriadoc and Peregrin - for what reason we cannot tell.
What of the Ringbearer? Where now does he and his devoted servant wander? Iorhael has great courage, startling considering he is merely a Perian, a Halfling in the language of Men. Yet he survived a wounding from the Morgul Chief. His bravery and strength is greater than that of many Elves or Men. All of Arda depends on his resistance to the foul craft of the Dark Lord.
At least he has Samwise. Although he has a simple mind Samwise is courageous - at least concerning his master - and will be a great help to Iorhael.
Meriadoc and Peregrin - what can be said about their devotion to helping their cousin? They risked all in insisting that they were coming with us. I do not know if their sacrifice to distract the Uruks from the Ringbearer will be worth it. All four Perian show great resourcefulness, and an endurance unlike anything I have seen. Unlike Iorhael, they were always light-hearted and it amused even me to see them larking about, teasing Samwise or pestering Boromir with their non-stop questioning.
What of our leader? Aragorn, son of Arathorn. He treats us all as equals - something that Boromir did not. Boromir insisted on speaking to the Perian as if they were mere children. Aragorn, or Estel as he was called when he lived in Imladris, is the heir of Isildur, blessed with the long life and endurance of the Men of Numenor. It is hard, even for an Elf, to believe he is now 87 years old.
Another surprise is that Mithrandir, the wizard known as Gandalf in Westron, is alive! He mentioned that he had been sent back to finish his task. Now he is Mithrandir the White, instead of Grey. He is still close and never reveals his plans. That always frustrates Gimli and he mused that the new Gandalf is grumpier than the old!
The last member of this Company is the Dwarf. Stubborn and greedy for jewels - a typical Dwarf. Yet the adventures since we left Imladris has made us good friends - something I have to wonder about. Has Iluvatar and the Valar seen such a thing as a friendship between an Elf and a Dwarf in many years?
Now I must depart with Aragorn and Gimli to save the Rohirrim from the malice of Curunir's foul Uruk creations. May the Valar smile upon us and let us live throughout this trying time!
