Chapter 10

"Ok... now that we are all here I will begin..." Gandalf said.

They all nodded grimly and waited for the istari to start talking.

"..."

Kri,kri...

"..."

"Hem, hem... Gandalf? "

"Oh" Yes... right." he said. "You all know about the three elven rings, do you not?"

"You mean the ones you, Lady Galadriel and Lord Elrond are guarding?" Legolas asked.

"Yes... well... they have been guarding two of the rings but not me..."

"WHAT??!! That ring is of extreme importance! How come you haven't been guarding it?!" Thranduil yelled.

"I kept it in a safe place, Thranduil... Not to worry...."

"But what has this to do with...her" Legolas asked waving his hand towards Narya with contempt.

"If you keep waving your hand like that...I swear Im gonna bite it!" Narya hissed.

"Well... I guess everyone has noticed her name..."

They all looked at each other and nodded. But she just frowned and asked "What about my name?"

"Well, one of the three elven rings, the ring of fire to be precise, is called Narya..." Thalion kindly explained.

"Oh...and? I've got the same name as the ring....so?"

"Yes Gandalf, it might be just a mere coincidence. I dont see your point" the King said.

"Aaa.... well what you do not know is that we, when I say we Im refering to Galadriel, Elrond and me, decided to transfer the rings' souls to three bodies"

At this everyone kept silent and stared at the wizard in disbelief.

"But... but why?" Legolas asked.

"So that if Sauron ever got hold of any of the rings, he would just have rings... and nothing more. We sort of gave birth to three babies. Not different from any other baby, phisically at least. Not only their souls were transfered, but their powers too."

"So you are saying that she...she is..." Thranduil asked stammering

Gandalf just noded with a slight smile. "That is why I said I had given her life."

Narya was in a state of shock. 'What the hell is he talking about!? Three elven rings? Sauron? Who's that? Wait! Wait! I am a ring?! Ok...now Im freaking out! How the hell can I be a ring?!'

"But...that is not possible!" Legolas exclaimed.

"Why not?" Gandalf asked frowning.

"The elven rings are supposed to be pure. And...and she is not! She is dark! Can't anyone feel it!? Can't you feel evil around her?" Legolas shouted.

"Legolas, That's enough!" his father ordered.

"Legolas..." Thalion whispered lowly shaking his head slightly and casting side glances at Narya whose face was downwards not letting anyone see the anger she felt.

'Well there goes another one...now ' she thought smirking.

"That....it is my fault" said Gandalf slowly lowering his gaze.

"What?! How could that be your fault?" asked Legolas.

"I am the way I am because I was born like this!" stated Narya. "Aren't I?" she added after a small pause.

Gandalf sighed. " I did not take care of her properly....That is why I had to send her to another world"

"What do ya mean with that?" Narya questioned.

"I always travel and always did...it is not my nature to settle down...That is why I left you with a lady from Gondor, from Osgiliath to be exact. Do not get me wrong... it pained me greatly to do so but... babies are just not meant for traveling..." He paused and looked at Narya. "Im sorry... There was an attack in Osgiliath three months later. Orcs burned many houses, killed inhabitants without mercy...this lady was killed too...Then, they took you to Mordor..."
