New Beginnings Chapter 11
The Council of the Valor
Valinor lay bar and barren for the many spirits among the land were called into a great council which was held in the great city of Tirion which was the capital city of Valinor. Imrahil only roamed the hills of Tuna far beyond the borders of Tirion, the city streets were empty as if some evil had set its malice upon the city. For in the distance of the great city standing tall above the city was a great hall of silver, the dust of the land was that of star dust blowing through the streets like a dream. The hall was called the great hall of Valimar and its ruler was Manwe the great god of the Valor who was brother to Morgoth who was formly known as Melkor among the Valor. In the great council room were no chairs or tables but great figures stood about the room talking. Manwe stood tall he was robbed in white and bore a great white head piece which was filled with green leaves about his head, his hair was golden white and his face could hardly be seen for the light that shone from him was so great. Also in the council was the god of water Ulmo he was a mighty man in life and as a god was equally menacing for he bore a great hammer and robbed in a blue robe, other great gods of the Valor were also there.
Manwe stepped forward to great the gods, "Welcome distant friends of old. I have summoned you all here for a purpose a common purpose to be precise. As you well know Ulmo helped the man know as Imrahil by giving him many ships and men of the Valor. Ulmo was counselled for this and was not punished for this act for it was the right thing to do. He gave Imrahil aid because a great threat has returned, Melkor once my brother and friend to the council has declared war once more upon Middle Earth but this time he has become too powerful. His armies have duplicated he also has many of his spiders and a Balrog, but I fear he is summoning something far great and more menacing than this. The fleet which aided Imrahil was destroyed by the power of Melkor, know Ulmo wishes to proceed with the council. Ulmo if you will", Manwe stood back as Ulmo moved forward out of his corner.
Ulmo shone blue as he spoke, "Thank you my lord, Manwe is right Melkor has indeed become powerful we don't now how but we have our ideas. The people of Middle Earth were almost destroyed at the hands of Sauron but he was defeated leaving the peoples of Middle Earth scattered and almost destroyed. This has aided Morgoth for the spirit of the planet is low because of the peoples who suffer and Morgoth grows in strength thanks to this. I have devised a plan in which to help the peoples of Middle Earth. As the council is aware we cannot interfere until called upon but I intervened by sending the King of the sea and his men to Middle Earth for they will become very valuable to the peoples of Middle Earth if they unit under one banner. My lord", Ulmo walked back to his corner as Manwe stepped back into the light of the room.
Manwe nodded to Ulmo, "So we have no choice but to stand by and watch for the time being. Let us hope for the sack of all things good that Imrahil finds his King and the men of Middle Earth unit to defeat a common foe before Melkor finds what he is looking for. His army heads north but to what purpose I cannot see as of yet he has clouded much of our thoughts with his power. As for Imrahil I have sent a guide to help him understand his purpose."
As this was said a great thunder could be heard and the great hall was shattered, Manwe and Ulmo stepped out of the hall onto the streets of Tirion to see a black cloud of thunder above the city with a bellowing wind engulfing the land about them.
Ulmo looked to his lord, "This is the work of Melkor my lord he has grown strong indeed if he can reach us here!"
Manwe stood silent as the clouds formed a figure which confronted the lord of the Valor, the figure was Melkor.
Melkor smiled as the cloudy face looked at Manwe his brother and Ulmo, "The great gods of the Valor stand before me in there own kingdom, could this be right brother?"
Manwe starred at Melkor, "We should have destroyed you instead of banishing you when we had the chance Melkor or Morgoth or whatever name you come under these days. Your days are over for the peoples of Middle Earth will stand up against your wrath"
Melkor smiled at Manwe, "Maybe so brother but let me remind you that I have defeated there so called army without my full form. As you can see I have full power and I am sweeping through the lands as we speak but what you don't know is that I am heading for my prize up north something that I kept from the last war"
With this said Melkor struck Manwe with lighting knocking him down to the ground as Melkor left and the sky became blue again.
Ulmo grabbed his lord who fell into Ulmos arms, "My lord let me command the oceon to battle Melkor"
Manwe spoke softly but assertively to Ulmo, "No we must not intervene for we shall feel the wrath of a great power. Melkor has sealed his own doom we must help in other ways by guiding them to there hope."
So ended the council of the Valor as each of the gods returned to there rightful places to guide the peoples of Middle Earth. Morgoth returned to Minas Tirith were he sat counselling his own armies by using the clouds to speak to the front lines.
