Well I guess I'm just in a writing mood today so guess what? What, you ask. NEW CHAPTER! Yeah Amadea I stole the whole butt-monkey thing from 'Bruce Almighty' Which, by the way, is a hilarious movie! Still sick, but I have to go to school tomorrow and I have done like none of my makeup work. I know, shame, shame on me!
Discalimer: I own nothing except that of which I own. Ooo that's confusing!
~Arachnaphobia To The Point Of Extinction~
~ Mission, quest,...thing ~
Gandalf looked at each of us in the eyes, " Ladies, I believe that your being here is no accident, I believe fate has brought you here to Rivendell on a very important date..."
I interrupted him, " The day of the council."
Elrond looked surprised, but Gandalf just nodded.
"Yes, the council," he paused as if contemplating something and then continued, "I believe you were sent here for a reason. I will not be surprised if you knew the reason for this council."
My sister answered this time, " This council was created to decide what to do about the one ring, the ring created by Sauron. By placing all of his being, his evil, into the ring he made it more powerful than the others."
I rolled my eyes. Suck up..
Gandalf nodded, " Yes, I believe that you will be of some help at the council. I will perform the spell and then I must go. I have to check on Frodo, I believe he will awaken soon."
Gandalf said a few verses in a language I didn't understand and then he tapped us on the heads with his staff and left.
Yay! I could now understand the elves, and practically anyone! Hmm.. if I was back home right now, I could confuse the living daylights out of ANYONE! Hee hee hee..
"So Elly-rond you can understand me now, huh.." I looked at him with what I thought were hopeful looking eyes.
He looked at me a little confused," Yes, I can understand you.."
"YES! Now time to go find my tall blonde archer lover!!" I jumped out of my chair and ran out the door leaving a confused Elrond and a sighing sister.
"Where is she going? Should I be worried?" Elrond asked looking at Vickie.
"She's probably gone to find Legolas, and yes you should be worried.. VERY worried..." My sister stood up and headed toward the door, "But don't worry I'll try not to let her get her into too much trouble.."
Elrond just shook his head and sighed, "Why me, Valar, why me?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I was off in search of my prey, but I just couldn't seem to find him, its like he disappeared... Now why would he want to do that when I was looking for him? Well I had found Arwen and Aragorn all kissy kissy outside, I found Gimli all..uhm.. Gimli-ish, found Boromir being manly or atleast trying to be... Grr, this place was WAY too big!
I walked through a door hoping to be in the kitchen, hey I got hungry after all that searching, only to find myself in Frodo's bedroom. Apparently he hadn't woken up yet. I sat next to him, beginning to study him. He looked shorter in real life, and more innocent. I couldn't believe that he was going to have to take the ring to Mordor..
He stirred a bit and opened his eyes.
"Welcome to the land of the living Mr. Baggins.." I smiled at him.
He looked at me and then around the room, "Where am I? And how do you know my name?"
"You are in Rivendell, home of the really hot elves, or atleast temporary home," I smiled, " and I know many things about you and of the things to come Frodo. But more on that later because I think Sam would like to talk to you now.."
Sam then burst through the door. Frodo raised an eyebrow.
"Mr. Frodo, I am so glad you are alright! I was so worried about you!" He hugged Frodo in a friendly manner and looked at me. "Who is that?"
"See, told ya Frodo. I think I'm gonna go back to my elf hunting now. See ya later Sammy boy!"
I walked around for a bit more, but I still couldn't seem to find him! I was getting angry.. Unfortunately it didn't help my mood when I didn't see the two hobbit like blurs who were about to crash into me. If I had seen them I probably would have moved or atleast asked to join them in their obvious merriment in running away from the angry cook. Like I said before, unfortunately for me, I didn't see them. My butt will now hurt for the rest of my life!
I shook my head, "Could this get any worse.." I looked around for the hobbits that ran me over. I found them a couple rooms down arguing.
The one that I had identified as Pippin was obviously proud of himself for some reason because he had a wide grin on his face.
"Merry wasn't that fun?!"
"No! I told you not to take the cake, but no... You took it anyways! And you ate all of it! Didn't even save any of it for me.."
"Well you told me not to take it so I figured you wouldn't want any of it. Besides it was vanilla, you don't like vanilla."
"Pip that's my favorite! I don't like chocolate!"
"Really?" he tapped his forehead, obviously in deep thought," I always thought it was vanilla..."
I tried to hold in my laugh, but it didn't work..
"Merry what was that?"
I tried to hide myself behind the corner but they found me anyways.
"Ahh! Pippin its the lady we ran over in the hallway!! RUN!!!"
Might as well join them in their game of cat and mouse..
"SILLY HOBBITS! YOU CANNOT ESCAPE!!"
While chasing the obviously crazed hobbits, I unfortunately mimicked the unfortunate incident that they had with me. I ran into someone. My victim had obviously a very solid hold on the ground because as I knocked into him, I was the only one that fell. I looked up from my position on the ground to find myself speechless. I had finally found him, by accident of course, but I found him none the less.
I grinned sheepishly, "Hi, I'm really sorry that I ran into you. I didn't mean it, I was chasing the hobbits who knocked me down in the hallway. Which I just did to you..."
Legolas looked at me and smiled, "It is alright mellon, I won't chase you around the halls because you ran into me."
I smiled, oh but I wish you would. Well I wish you would chase after me, just not when you're angry..
"Thank you uhm....." I already knew his name, obviously, but I just acted like it so he would talk to me some more.
"Legolas Greenleaf, Lady..."
I smiled, " Thank you Legolas, my name is Angelique, and drop the lady, it makes me sound... so much more mature than I act."
"Alright Angelique." At that an elf came and whispered something into Legolas' ear.
"I am sorry to cut our meeting short, but I must go attend something of great importance."
"You are going to the council, right?"
Legolas raised an eyebrow.
"Well I am going as well so, would you be so polite as to escort me to the meeting, as I do not know where it is.."
I grinned sheepishly again and he just nodded taking my hand in his and leading us outside into the garden.
I spotted Vickie sitting next to Gandalf. She waved and motioned for me to sit next to her. I said goodbye to Legolas and sat next to her.
She smirked, "I see your elf search was successful."
"Yes it was, now all we have to do is find you Haldir.."
She grimaced, "Uhm.. no he's too icky.."
"Just wait and see Vickie, somehow I will set you two up.."
Elrond stood up signaling that the council was starting. I looked around and saw the fellowship sitting with their fellow races. Gimli with the dwarves, Legolas the elves, Boromir with his fellow men, the only exceptions were Aragorn, Frodo, Gandalf, and me and my sister.
Elrond began to speak, "Strangers from distant lands, friends of old. You have been summoned here 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 to this fate--this one doom." He gestured to the pedestal,"Bring forth the ring, Frodo."
I watched as Frodo rose from his seat and placed the ring upon the stone pedestal and then return to his seat. The people around us began to whisper and the ring began to kind of glow..
"So it is true.."
I whipped my head around to face Boromir and heard someone say 'the doom of men'. I watched as Boromir shook his head.
"It is a gift. A gift to the foes of Mordor. 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!"
I shook my head, this is the beginning of the end for you Boromir..
"You cannot wield it! None of us can. The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master."
Boromir sneered, "And what would a mere ranger know of this matter?"
Legolas jumped up, angry, "This is no mere ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance!"
Boromir looked surprised, "Aragorn... This is Isildur's heir?"
Legolas smirked, "And heir to the throne of Gondor."
I remembered this part in the movie so I stood up, "Havo dad Legolas."
Legolas looked surprised, as did Aragorn, but all I did was sit back down.
Boromir looked a bit angry as he spat out, "Gondor has no king, Gondor needs no king."
Gandalf finally spoke up, "Aragorn is right. We cannot use it."
Elrond looked solemn, "You have only one choice. The ring must be destroyed."
I looked at Gimli, I knew what was to come next and I covered my ears.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Gimli picked up his axe and ran towards the ring striking it full force. The ring was left untouched and Gimli, who was thrown back by the power of the ring, lay crumpled on the ground. Luckily he was unhurt, except for his pride.
Elrond shook his head, "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. One of you must do this."
Boromir looked horrified, "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 you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly!"
Legolas stood once more, "Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The Ring must be destroyed!"
Gimli lept to his feet, "And I suppose you think you're the one to do it?!"
Boromir rose also, "And if we fail, what then?! What happens when Sauron takes back what is his?!"
Gimli shouted angrily, " I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an elf! Never trust an elf!"
All this commotion started an argument between the elders of the council. I sighed, nothing would come of this if they kept acting like babies.
Gandalf joined the bickering and I felt as if all our hope was gone, but then I remembered what would happen now. Frodo would volunteer himself, and would be ignored at his first couple attempts. I will see to it that he will not be ignored.
I saw the determination dawn on Frodo's face as he stood."I will take it!"
No one heard him so I stood and did the only thing that I thought would do the trick, "SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!!"
The council members fell quiet as I continued, "I believe the young hobbit has something to say, don't you?"
I saw Gandalf's eyes close as Frodo said the fate sealing words, "I will take the ring to Mordor--Though I do not know the way.."
I watched Gandalf walk over to Frodo, " I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins, so long as it is yours to bear.'
I saw Aragorn rise and do the same, "If by my life or death, I can protect you, I will. You have my sword. "
Legolas stood, "And you have my bow."
Gimli, obviously not wanting to be bested by and elf, and a hot elf if I may say so myself,
stood also, "And my axe!"
Borormir went to Frodo and knelt, "You carry the fates of us all little one. If this is indeed the will of the council, then Gondor will see it done."
I am so not going to be left of this, I mean how many chances like this pop up in your life? None!
I stood, "I am coming also, though I do not have any experience in weapons, I am experienced in hand-to-hand combat, as is my sister, and will protect Frodo as needed. There will
be nothing you can do to change my mind!"
Elrond looked doubtful, but a look from Gandalf told him all that was needed.
All of a sudden a noise from the bushes was heard, and out popped a hobbit.
"Heh! Mr. Frodo is not goin' anywhere without me!"
Elrond frowned, "No indeed, it is hardly possible to separate you even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not."
I looked towards the bushes waiting for the other two hobbits that would be joining us on this quest...thing..
"Wait! We are coming too!" Ahh.. here they are..
Merry looked at Elrond and said, "You'd have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us!"
Pippin tried persuading Elrond, "Anyway you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission, quest... thing."
Merry looked at him, "Well that rules you out Pip."
Elrond raised his arms, "Eleven companions... So be it! You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring!"
Pippin looked at him, "Great! Where are we going?"
I sighed and shook my head, this was going to be a long trip..

Ahhhhh!! I checked my e-mail when I was writing this, and I got a thing saying I had a review. So I was all 'Yay! I got a review' But lo and behold I just didn't get a review, I got... I got... A FLAME!! So I'm all sad now, but life will go on, I guess. Thank you to all my loyal reviewers, I love you! This is my longest chapter yet, I know kind of sad, but I am really proud of myself!!
