OOC: Hey everyone; I know it has been a long time but when you've had a year as crazy as mine ya get caught up in stuff.
I really hope that this is the 1st updates of many to happen within the next couple of months. Also I plan to phase out the plotline about the rangers back on Earth so im sorry is that what ya'll wanted. I just dont think I need it.

Tori and Dustin both stood up and turned around in the blink of an eye. Their eyes were wide with terror.

Pippin looked at Merry. "What didn't I use that phrase correctly?"

"I don't know Pip, these people are very odd, and trying to figure out how they talk is maddening."

Tori and Dustin were both speechless and it took almost a minute before Tori spoke up for both of them.

"Umm, hey guys. Uhh how long have you been back there listening to what we were talking about?"

"How long has it been Merry?"

"Well, we have been here awhile."

"Yep Merry here thought it might be nice to spend some time looking at the water, it is quite nice."

"And then we had plans to go off and listen in on the meeting that is occurring up in Elrond's court to see what they are being so secretive about."

Tori stopped their rambling at that point.

"Whoa there. We thought that the meeting wasn't supposed to happen for a week or so."

"Tor's right. Gandalf said that he wanted one of us there."

"Well Pippin found out just an hour ago that something has come up that changed there minds. Its possible that they only had time to get your leader before they went through with the council."

The two rangers were up and running towards the spot they knew the meeting had to occur, their hands were unintentionally entwined.

The hobbits, not two to miss out on anything were running just as fast right behind them.

The council of Elrond was taking place exactly as it should, with the exception of four extra humans there.

They listened without interrupting as the council argued about what to do with the ring, and it wasn't until after the fellowship had been formed that Shane stood up.

"And what are we supposed to do. Gandalf you told me to come to this meeting because it would be relevant to myself and my friends.
But it sure as hell doesn't seem like it."

"Shane calm down."

"No Cam I wont."

"Shane your anger is understandable but please I have now a plane that you all must go through with even as the fellowship does what they need to. So will you power rangers."

At this the hobbits Merry and Pippin sprang from there hiding spot, not far behind them was Tori and Dustin.

"Alright, so there is something you need us to do great, but what do we get in return."

Gandalf looked at Dustin then his eyes drifted to all the rangers.

"A way home."
