Ch. 4 The Council of Elrond
The next day Men, Elves, Dwarves, Gandalf, Lord Elrond, Frodo, and Strider all gathered around waiting for Buffy and Dawn to show. "We cannot start this meeting until they show." Gandalf said to a group of impatient Dwarves.
Buffy looked at the dress infront of her. "I.. I have to wear this?" Buffy asked Arwen. Arwen smiled kindly and nodded. "Yes, your clothing is very strange and uncommon for a woman here." She said. Buffy bit her lip and looked at the deep blue color, she ran her fingers along the fabric finding it was satin. "You must hurry, the council will not wait long." Arwen advised. Buffy nodded and began to take off her black sweater when she stopped. "Umm.. I'm not really comfortable changing infront of anyone.." She said quite embarrassed. Arwen smiled and nodded. "That's understandable, I never liked to have my maids with me when I undressed either. I'll go see how your sister is fairing and I will return." She said and left. Buffy took her clothes off and replaced them with the dress Arwen gave to her. It was low cut and showed a little cleavage, the sleeves flared out and went down to the ground, and the skirt was wide. Buffy felt beautiful. 'Like I did on Halloween that year..' She thought. She brushed her hair and let it fall loosely around her.
Dawn heard a knock on her door and went to open it. "Hey Arwen! How's it goin?" She asked. She wore a similar dress like Buffys, only hers was white. Her long brown hair was pulled back halfway with little braids on the side. "Hello Dawn. I see that you are already ready for the council. Shall we see if Buffy is ready yet?" Arwen asked. Dawn nodded and walked out of her room, closing the door behind her.
Buffy was waiting outside her room for Dawn and Arwen. "Buffy!" Dawn called. Buffy looked up and smiled at her sister. She looked beautiful. "Wow Dawn, look at you." She said. Dawn smiled. "Not too bad looking yourself, sis." She returned the compliment. "The council is waiting." Arwen said. The two girls nodded and followed the elf outside.
Everyone was in awe at the two ladies as they entered the circle. "Gentlemen, this is Buffy Summers and Dawn Summers. They will be joining us in this council." Elrond said. "Women joining council? What will be next? Orcs?!" A dwarf exclaimed. Gandalf glared. "Gimli son of Gloin, they have every right to be here as you do. They are part of this as well their enemy has joined forces with Sauron." He snapped, making the dwarf slink back in his seat. Elrond motioned the girls to sit next to Gandalf.
"Strangers of distant lands, friends of old. You have been summond to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle-Earth stands upon the brink of destruction. None can escape it. You will unite, or you will fall. Each race is bound this fate, this one doom." Elrond began. "Bring forth the Ring, Frodo." He guestured Frodo to place the Ring of a stone stand in the middle of the circle. Frodo complied. Whispers filled the council.
"So it is true."
"The doom of man.."
"It is a gift.. A gift to the foes of Mordor." The man stood up and walks around, speaking to everyone. "Why not use this Ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor kept the forces of Mordor at bay by the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy. Let us use it against him!" He went on.
Strider spoke up. "You cannot weild it. None of us can. The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master." He said. The man looked at Strider and glared. "And what would a Ranger know of this matter?" He asked sarcastically.
An elf stood up. "This is no mere Ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance." He said. The man looked to Aragorn once more. "Aragorn? This is Isildur's heir?" He said. "And the heir to the throne of Gondor." The elf said once more.
"Havo dad, Legolas." Aragorn said, signaling for the elf to sit down, which he did. Boromir walked slowly back to his seat. "Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king." He said as he sat down.
Buffy felt like he was going to be a problem. But she couldn't believe Strider, who was really Aragorn, was a king-in-waiting. "Aragorn is right. We cannot use it." Gandalf said. "You have only one choice. The Ring must be destroyed." Elrond said.
"Then what are we waiting for?!" The dwarf named Gimli who objected Buffy and Dawn being at the council stood up and slammed his axe down on the Ring, only to break his axe and fall backwards. When the axe made contact with the Ring, Frodo winched in pain and gasped. Buffy and Gandalf noticed.
"The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli son of Gloin, by any craft that 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." Elrond explained. The Rings voice whispered. "One of you must do this." He added.
Boromir shook his head and leaned forward. "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. And the great Eye is ever-watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust. The very air that you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly." He said.
Legolas stood up and looked at Boromir. "Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The Ring must be destroyed!" He said.
"And I suppose you think you're the one to do it?!" Gimli asked Legolas sarcastically, only to have Legolas turn his gaze from Boromir to Gimli. "And if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his?" Boromir asked.
"I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an elf!" Gimli yelled, causing an uproar amoungst everyone in the circle. Everyone stood up and started yelling except Frodo, Dawn, and Buffy.
Buffy watched the Ring and could feel the anger between everyone was feeding it. She stood up and joined in, only trying to get everyone to stop. "Stop yelling! You're only feeding the Ring power!" She tried, no one listened to her.
"I will take it! I will take it!" Frodo yelled, Buffy was the only one who heard him. She climbed onto the stand and yelled at the top of her lungs. "HEY EVERYONE! SHUT UP!" She yelled. She looked at Frodo and smiled, which he returned. Everyone turned and looked at Buffy in amazement. She cleared her throat. "Frodo has something to say.." She said and climbed down. "I will take the Ring to Mordor. Though-I'm afraid I do not know the way." He said. Gandalf looked sadly at him. "I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins. As long as it is yours to bear." He said walking to him to stand beside him. Aragorn went next, as did Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir. Sam, Merry, and Pippin came out of their hiding places and ran to the group stating they are going too.
The group looked at Buffy and Dawn, who were looking at Elrond. "You two will go with the group, for this Glory woman is looking for Dawn, and we cannot protect her here." He said. Buffy and Dawn nodded and joined the group. Elrond smiled at the companions. "Eleven companions. So be it! You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring." He said.
"Great. Where are we going?" Pippin asked clueless, staring at everyone for an answer.
