Disclaimer: Ok once again, I do NOT own any of this, thanks to copywriting.
I do own, however a small, SMALL part of this (Estelwen)
A/N- ok this is the part where I am supposed to thank everyone, but since I'm writing one chapter after the other... well thanks to everyone reading the first two chapters. Isn't this one much better?
It was several days before the hobbit known as Frodo had awakened. Estelwen was there, cleaning the room up. When Frodo woke up, however she took her leave, and went to Lord Elrond, in the next room. While Frodo and Gandalf were talking lord Elrond wished to speak to Estelwen. "Estelwen?" she looked at him "Yes m'lord?"
"Have you heard anything of a certain meeting that is to take place?" "You mean the one about the Ring of Power? The one each race is supposed attend? What about it My Lord?" "So you have heard of it. I request that you attend." "You ask me to go on this quest as well?" "Of course, your powers and skills are needed more than any weapon on the planet." Estelwen understood. Of course she would go! She wanted this chance to prove to her father that she was as good as any warrior. She wanted the chance more than anything, even if she hadn't seen her family in 25 years. After she had met the hobbits, she went out to the fields and thought. She had not seen her family in 25 years. She had run away after her father yelled at her for training to be a warrior. When she arrived in Rivendell, Lord Elrond saw what she could do with her healing powers and technically adopted her. Whenever Lord Elrond needed help, he called for Estelwen. She knew many people depended on her, she just wished that her father could see. She started to cry at that thought. She just didn't care any longer. That was until Aragorn showed up. "Lady Estelwen? Are you alright?" She wiped away the tears and composed herself. When she turned around it looked as if she wasn't crying, if her face wasn't red. "Oh, I am fine I just wish..." she trailed off. "It is nothing, now if you excuse me, I must go check on Frodo" She set off to do just that. She never could show a moment's weakness. After she checked on Frodo, she went to bed. The next day would be the council. The next day, it was as if she stepped into the dream she had the other day. It looked exactly the same. There were dwarves, elves, men, a wizard, Frodo, herself, and Lord Elrond. Then there was that elf that she felt a strange connection to. While Lord Elrond said his welcome and why they were all here, Estelwen was trying to figure out the connection. 'Good, perhaps now she can reunite with her family' Thought Lord Elrond when he realized what each elf was staring at. For indeed each elf looked disturbed. Estelwen was snapped out of her thoughts when the blonde elf stood up outraged. He had been listening to Boromir and Aragorn talk. "This man is no mere Ranger! He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance." "Aragorn? This is Isilidur's heir?" "And heir to the throne of Gondor." Aragorn, who was quite calm through all of this spoke "Havo dad (sit down), Legolas" This statement flustered Estelwen again. 'Legolas? Where had I heard that name before?' once again, she sat quietly thinking. That name was entirely too familiar to just be in passing. She finally just listened to the council; she would talk to this "Legolas" after it. "Well what are we waiting for?" said a dwarf. Then he swung his axe over his head and struck the ring. "The ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft we here possess. The ring was made in the fires of mount doom, only there can it be unmade. IT must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came.... One of you must do this."
"One does not just simply walk into Mordor," said Boromir with agitation, "Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The Great Eye is ever watchful. 'Tis a barren wasteland; riddled with fire, and ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with 10,000 men could you do this... It is folly." This time Legolas was the one to defend the council. "Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The Ring must be destroyed!" Gimli was not at all happy hearing this from an elf "and I suppose you think you're the one to do it?!" "And if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his?" Boromir just wanted the ring for himself. Gimli, however, strongly disliked elves "I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an elf!" At those words, the whole council was in an uproar. The only people who stayed out of the argument were Aragorn, Estelwen, and Frodo. Estelwen was still confused, but she would live up to her word. On top of everything, The Ring seemed to be whispering but she chose to ignore it. It seemed, however, that Frodo was being sucked in. When he finally pulled away he shouted: "I will take the ring!" Unfortunately, no one heard him. So, he said it a little louder. When at last people heard him. "I will take the ring to Mordor. Though... I do not know the way." "I will help you bear this burden, as long as it is yours to bear." Said Gandalf as he stood by the hobbits side Aragorn then stood and said "If by my life or death, I can protect you, I will" He knelt down in front of Frodo, "You have my sword" "And my bow" said Legolas who stood by Aragorn's side. "And my axe!" said the dwarf, who smugly joined the group. "If I have to follow you to the depths of hell, I will. You have my powers and skills" Estelwen stood between Legolas and the dwarf. "You carry the fates of us all little one. If this is indeed the will of the council, then Gondor will see it done." Boromir hesitantly joined the group. "Oi! Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me!" Said a voice that popped out of a bush. It was Sam who now joined the group. "No indeed, it is hardly possible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not" laughter was in Lord Elrond's voice. "Hey! We're coming too!" and with that, two hobbits; Merry and Pippin, came out of their hiding place. "You'll have to send us home, tied up in a sack to stop us" Merry said, crossing his arms. "Anyways, you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission... quest... thing." Estelwen swore that she could hear Merry say "well that rules you out, Pip!" Pippin's face fell and Estelwen giggled to herself. "Ten Companions, so be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring!" Lord Elrond said with pride. "Great!... Where are we going?" asked Pipin.
