Author´s note: Hi folks. Sorry it´s some time ago since I published the
last chapter but I really didn´t have this much time. Here it is. Quite
long but I hope you enjoy it. I decided to use the film version of the
council of Elrond, thought that it might be easier to be adopted into a
poem. Well, the next chappy ´ll be about the wolves and Caradhras. Hope you
´ll review as usual.
@ Elentari: yay, you were right! The solution to this little riddle
poem was The tower of Cirith Ungol and Sam saving Frodo...
Disclaimer: The usual. All belongs to Tolkien the stuff I took from the
movies belong to PJ...
Chapter 14
The forging of the Fellowship
When the Ring was revealed by the Halfling´s shy hands
the High Lords of all peoples of uttermost lands
fell to silence and watched full of anger and fear
what the little Ringbearer had brought over here.
And the voice of the warrior eager to fight
then arose and his words told of glory, of might
when he told that the Ring was a present at last
which had come to the heirs of the kings of the past.
"For if we gain his own we can use it and soon
all our foes then will fly us like sun does the moon!
For my father is valiant our army is strong!"
"Don´t you see,man of Gondor that you´re talking wrong?"
told then Strider and looked at the man who did view
at his outer appearance. "You know what to do?
You? A ranger who´s walking the wild and who dwells
with wildest of beasts?" "Listen to what he tells!"
they heard one of the Elves say "No Ranger is he!
He´s the heir of Isildur that´s what you don´t see.
He is Aragorn, Arathorn´s son, and you know
he´s the true king of Gondor, so Edain show
the respect he deserves for this man is the last
of the true line of Kings of your glorious past!"
And Boromir sat down but not willing was he
to accept him as king! "No king have and need we!"
And again they thought over what they were to do
with the Ring. And a dwarf thought that he had the clue:
"If we have to destroy it let´s do it right here.
And he lifted his axe and without any fear
smashed it down on the Ring but now harm could he do.
"So you too, Gimli, Gloin´s son, you too, are a fool!"
said then Elrond the Halfelf and rose from his seat.
"We must take it to Mordor on swift and soft feet.
Secrecy is our friend for we must hope at last
To get rid of the Bane of the Kings of the Past.
We must take Sauron´s Ring to the Mountain of Doom.
to destroy it in fires of the one by whom
it has once been created. That´s the only way
Now we need one to do that!" But noone did say.
And again there was strife among all these high men
on the doom of the Ring. They were furious but then
in the trouble of voices, they heard Frodo say.
"I will take it to Mordor, though I don´t know the way!"
And the Elves, dwarves and men were impressed by his word
And some couldn´t believe what their ears had just heard.
And alone stood the hobbit his eyes to the ground,
felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked, turned around
to see Gandalf the Grey "I will help you to care
help you bearing this burden as long as you´ll bear!"
And the Heir of Isildur knelt down and he smiled
saying "My little friend. I´ll join you in the wild
and I´ll give you my sword and my fate and my life
and do everything to aid you in this strife.
And Thranduil´s fair son vowed his bow to the quest
And the warrior of dwarves then said "I will not rest
In the halls of Imladris, I´m coming with you!"
"If the council decided, then I´m coming too."
said the son of the steward and he joined our friend
but now please don´t believe this is already the end.
Samwise ran from the bushes where he had just hid.
"I won´t leave him alone. Never, I must admit!
I am joining this quest!" "So do I!" "So do I"
selled out Merry and Pippin who no longer shy
Had left their hiding place now to join Frodo lad.
Elrond thought "Nine companions that might not be bad.
So the Fellowship´s forged to the Ringbearer´s aid
But you´re not bound to go further than you have said.
No oath therefor will bind you, just friendship, that´s all
You will have on your quest for the Enemy´s fall."
And the council soon ended and two months they staied
At the place of Imladris, the hour grew late.
And before Frodo left he met Bilbo once more
And the Halfling then saw what his cousin now bore.
And once more he was tempted to reach for the Ring,
and once more his heart won over this golden thing.
He was sad that the boy had to carry all that.
"I´m so sorry, Frodo, for you are a good lad.
So at least let me give you something for your quest.
This is Sting, my old sword, it was one one the best
which was forged by the Elves. And when orks are at hand
it will glow with blue light and it will help you stand
your enemies´ attacks." Then he held up a shirt.
"This here is made of mithril to withstand a sword
keep it hidden but you will be safer at last
it did serve me so well in my own little past."
And the time of retirement went by and so soon
All the night was then covered by a winter moon
And the journey began, but will Frodo succeed?
Well, if you want to know do come back here and read!
