OKAY! OKAY! I LIED! IT AIN'T MINE! Tolkien stops and goes back into
casket ffew! I won't be trying that again any time soon.
After the meal and some poetry reciting from Bilbo, Legolas took her back to their room. Ane was a bit apprehensive of this, but kept it to herself. She didn't want to upset Legolas. He kept his pants on, which she was eternally grateful for, and she wore a light linen shirt and leggings, both dyed red. She seemed to be the flame that lit the entire rood as she sat on the bed waiting for Legolas. He watched her for a moment from doorway as she brushed her hair and effortlessly wrapped her hair into a bun as if she'd been doing it for her whole life, which wasn't far from true. When she was done, she looked up, her eyes questioning why he was just standing there, and he knew that he had to come back from fanaticizing and climbed into bed beside her. He did not get under the sheets, but lay directly beneath the comforter so that there was a layer between them. She knew she could trust him now so she curled up in the crook of his arm as he ran his fingers through her hair, slowly undoing it, until she drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
The counsel was an interesting thing. There were so many different kinds of people; it looked like a miniature zoo. The dwarves were gruff and not the most sociable creatures she had met, but she figured that if one tried hard enough, you could get a decent conversation out of them.
Two of the hobbits were there, and Frodo turned out to be what Elrond had called the ring bearer. She was shocked when he pulled out this ring of his and put it in the center where everyone could get a good look at it. There was all of a sudden an evil presence, and most everyone noticed it. This didn't include Boromir, though, and he suggested that the ring go to Gondor, to his father, who would use it as a weapon against their enemy. Estel, who was revealed to be none other than the king of Gondor, basically told him that the idea was preposterous. A wizard named Gandalf, seconded this, and Elrond proposed that the ring be destroyed, so that none could use it, out of good or ill will. Boromir was not happy at all, and soon every one was out of their seats, yelling at each other, and all the while, the evil presence grew. It got so bad that Ane wanted to run from the place, but she feared for the rest of them more than herself. Finally she couldn't take it any longer, so she stood in the middle, not five inches from the ring itself, and tried to call order. "People, please, settle down. Listen to me. Listen to me! WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP ALREADY AND LISTEN?!?!?"
The crowd went silent to say the least. Most were frozen in whatever stance they were in at the time. She was surprised at herself, but was happy with the results, nonetheless. She took a deep breath before quietly saying, "Sit down, all of you."
The response was immediate, and before she could say Please, not a single person of any race was left standing, save one. Boromir. "Did you not hear me sir?" she asked loosing most of the patience she had left.
"I do not bow down to him," he said indicating Aragorn (Estel), "So why should I bow down to you?"
But before she could respond, Elrond stood. "Because she is of higher blood than any elf, man, or dwarf, that ever walked this Middle Earth. She is from California, a land in the western kingdom of the Gray Havens. Though she is common among her own people, even she is above any queen in our history. She will know what we need to do." She didn't believe a word out of the elf's mouth, but at least it gave her the right to talk some sense into these people without being hindered. Everyone was looking to her now for a decision. She thought for a moment, then a song came to her. It was by Creed, and was called One. She started to sing.
"Affirmative may be justified, Take from one, give to another.
The goal is to be unified,
Take my hand," she sang, and reached out for Legolas, who stood and took her outstretched hand and smiled, "Be my brother.
The payments silence the massive;
Sanctified by oppression.
Unity took a back seat,
Sliding further into aggression.
One, oh one. The only way is one.
One, oh one. The only way is one.
I feel angry, I feel helpless,
Want to change the world, yeah.
I feel vi'lent, I feel alone,
Don't try to change my mind, no.
Society blinded by color,
Why hold down one, to raise another?
Discrimination now on both sides,
Seeds of hate blossom further.
The world is headed for mutiny,
When all we want is unity.
We may rise and fall,
But in the end, we'll meet our fate together."
She finished the song and looked around. "You see? We're in this together. We need to save this world, not destroy it. This ring is pure evil. No good can come from it. The only way to rid the world of this is to rid ourselves of this. Get it away from our people, our children, our homes. Send it back to where it came from. Destroy it."
"I will choose the fellowship that will escort the ring to Mount Doom. This counsel is adjourned. The fellowship will leave this evening at dusk. Be ready to leave," said Elrond in a very final tone. The counsel dispersed and went there own ways, discussing the events as they went. Ane was not surprised when she was summoned to Elrond's office later that day. Legolas, Aragorn, Boromir, Merry, Pippin, Frodo, Sam, Gimli, and Gandalf were also summoned as part of the fellowship. She later found out that Frodo was the only hobbit summoned, but the others would not be parted from him, so they were allowed to stay. Elrond told them the plan to be executed by the fellowship, and they all went to get their things. 'nother short one, but yeah. Keep up the reviews!
