After hearing Gandalf and Elrond talk Aragorn made his way to Arwens chambers. He knocked at the door.

"Come in" spoke Arwen

Aragorn opened the door and entered the room.

He then spoke gently to her "I know what you are thinking but it is to dangerous, you could get hurt"

Arwen stared at him for a minute and then spoke "you know I have to do this"

"its too dangerous" Aragorn repeated

"I can handle my self you know I can"

Aragorn looked at his love and then he realised that he was not going to win this argument "very well"

He walked over to her put his arms around her and then said "at least I will be there to protect you".

She turned to him at then kissed him gently on the lips.

A few days later Elrond called a concil for all the races of middle earth in order to establish the fate of the ring. It involved many elves, dwarves and men. To represent the race of hobbit Merry, Pippin, Sam and Frodo were also there.

Lord Elrond sat in his chair to the left sat Arwen who has looking very nervous. Aragorn looked at her which made her feel at little more comforted.

"the ring must be destroyed won of you must achieve this" stated Elrond

There was a mummer then the Elves and the dwaves started arguing.

Arwen just stared at the ring thinking whether she was doing the right thing she looked up when she heard Frodo speak "I will take it"

"however I do not know the way?"

"I can help with that" said Gandalf

Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Bormior then stood up in turn at said that they would help Frodo

Arwen then looked at Merry, Pippin and Sam as they turned to face Frodo saying "we will come too".

Elrond then stood up and said "very well 9 companions……"

Suddenly Arwen cut in and said "make that 10".

Wlrond froze looking at his daughter before saying "no, I will not allow it"

"I can take care of myself"

"you know what you have to do Elrond" Gandalf said looking at the Elf Lord.

"very well" he stated looking very concerned

"10 companions will make the fellowship of the ring"
