Chapter 2- Council
Disclaimer- I own nothing but the twins and Zeke.
Thanks to the anonymous who said this story has potential. I put spacing between everything but for some reason it don't transfer over.
To NoldorinLord, if you don't like it don't read it. To Seriously Wrong, I have only seen the movies because my asshole parents are anti-fantasy. So yes I have only seen the movie and that was at a friends house. Also I noticed both you and LaliathIell don't have any stories posted so if you're so good where are they? Overall if you don't like it don't continue to read it and you don't have to put it down so bad just say it sucked, don't read it and move on to another.
Thanks again anonymous, and all other who've read and not reviewed.
Also, since I've only seen the movie it's what I'm basing this on.
means thoughts
means a POV
START
Elves, dwarfs, men,
hobbits but where are all the women, hm? Or are me and Cyn the
only ones? Arwen introduced us to a 'silvan elf' she said he
was, or 'woodland' elf
names Legolas. He's gorgeous but
I don't think his friends like me very much. Me and
Cyn sit
next to Elrond and another elf. From the stairs going around it went
hobbit,
Gandalf the Grey (whom Arwen told us about), elf, elf,
Legolas, elf, two old men, five
dwarfs and seven other men
including Aragorn. Elrond talks about a 'threat of Mordor',
then calls the hobbit Frodo forward and he places a gold ring on the
alter between us
all. I can hear it whispering to me, Cyn says
she hears it too; and I can tell the others
hear it. One light
brown haired man looks at it hypnotized while another whispers it's
the doom of men.
"It is a gift." The light brown haired man stands and begins slightly pacing, talking about enemy of Gondor and letting Gondor have the weapon of the enemy; Elrond and Gandalf exchange looks.
"You can not wield it, none of us can." Aragorn tells him. "The one ring answers to Sauron alone." He glances at the ring. "It has no other master."
"And what's a ranger know of this matter?" the light brunette asks turning to Aragorn.
"This is no mere ranger." Legolas stands. "He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You own him your allegiance."
"Aragorn?" the man looks at him in slight disbelief, "This is Isildors heir?"
"And heir to the throne of Gondor." Legolas adds.
"Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king." The man sits back in his seat.
"Aragorn is right. We can not use it." Gandalf says.
Elrond stands, "We have only one choice. The ring must be destroyed."
"What are we waiting for then?" an auburn haired dwarf stands and slams his ax; the ring protects itself and the ax breaks into pieces and he bounces back.
"The ring can not be destroyed Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft we here possess. The ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade." The ring whispers more, Elrond continues. "It must be takes deep into the fire of Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came." More whispers. "One of you must do this."
Wow Des, he creates a better silence than you do.
Funny.
The light brunette
is talking again. He is weak; I can see he wants the ring. It calls
to
us all. Cyn said to ignore it. 'Black gates of
Mordor are guarded but more than just
orcs, empty land, all
Seeing Eye and that the idea is folly?' Must mean pointless.
Legolas stands and asks if he's herd nothing Lord Elrond just said
and that the ring
must be destroyed.
he's demanding
Thought you liked them like that.
I tell her to shut
up. I listen to the argument between Legolas and the Gremlin, I mean
Gimli.
"And I suppose you think you're the one to do it?" Gimli asks.
Legolas glares at the dwarf and them the man stands again talking about Sauron talking back what is his and what was to happen then. Gimli jumps out of his chair to his feet and states he'd be dead before he sees the ring in the hands of an elf. The other elves with Legolas stand and yell in Elvish. Aragorn shakes his head as the other elves stand and argue with the dwarfs; the only calm elf is Elrond. Gandalf gets into the argument while Aragorn, Elrond and the twins start to get agitated at the arguing.
I stand and yell at
them to stop arguing but no one listens. I yell again then scream at
them to shut up. All at once they get quiet and look at me.
I'm quiet a second then I
speak.
"Arguing isn't going to solve anything."
Legolas and his party sit as do the men.
"What is a woman doing at this council?" Another dwarf demands.
"Women, there's two of us." Des simply corrects.
"And I suppose you think you can destroy the ring?" Gimli scoffs at Cynthia. "You would be good for nothing but making children."
Cynthia catches Dessandra as she flies out her chair at Gimli yelling at him in German. She kicks and hits his leg.
"I'll make it to where you can't have any children if you speak to her like that again!"
The elves whisper about me and the dwarfs back off. More whispers are herd from the ring, everyone turns to it hearing them. Frodo, the hobbit, stands and announces her will take the ring though he doesn't know the way. Gandalf joins him the same moment me and Cyn hear Elrond in our heads telling is it was what we were there for. I stands next to Frodo and smile at him, Cyn does the same. Aragorn stands next to Gandalf behind Frodo. Legolas joins from the elves and stands behind us. I feel my face grow hot as he give me a slight smile when I turn around and glance at him. I feel like such an idiot.
"You carry the fate of us all little one." The light brown haired man steps towards Frodo. "If this is the will of the council then Gondor will see it done."
Bushes rustle as Zeke steps out on one side and a strawberry blond hobbit steps up next to Frodo crossing his arms.
"Mister Frodo isn't goin' anywhere without me."
"And not with out me they aren't." Zeke stands next to Cynthia.
"Yes indeed, it seems impossible to separate you even for a secret council." Elrond's smirk disappears quickly as two other hobbits run in announcing they were going too.
"I will not let a couple of girls stare me down!" Gimli stands next to Zeke, looking up at his height.
"Eleven Companions, "Elrond looks them over, "you shall be the fellowship of the ring."
"Great so-"the hobbit in a green jacket begins.
"Where are we going?" Zeke and the hobbit say together.
Me and Des lower our
heads at Zeke's stupidity. Elrond tells us we can leave at first
light tomorrow, and then tells me and Des he wants to see us. We
follow him to a
weaponry and allows us to pick two. Des
picks a bow and sword. I pick a boy and a
long slightly
curved knife. Then we take off to the archery range to brush up on
out
archery skills our dad taught us.
I try to bring up the
twins to Aragorn but every time I get close to the subject he leaves.
I overheard Elrond and Gandalf talking about them. They're
not of our world Elrond
said. Gandalf said something about
them being decedents of someone I've never herd
of, but
apparently was an elf witch who wed and mated with a demon. So then
they're-
I'm not sure. Gandalf also said something about
necklaces each of them has. I turn
hearing Zeke's loud
mouth, he and the twins walk bye. Cynthia says hello and I say it
back, and they continue to the archery. I don't like Zeke. He
speaks to them, mainly
Dessandra, in the most profound manner
yet they are best friends? They've yet to take
their bags
off, are they hiding something? Aragorn and Boromir I see standing at
opposite trees. Cynthia begins to practice in on e row, Dessa
next to her.
"Zeke If you-"Dessandra turns to hit him and he cowers covering his head.
Legolas stands with Aragorn watching their weaknesses.
"Cynthia, both eyes open when you aim." Legolas tells her.
"Touch me again and I'll shoot you." Des sets her bag down on the ground near her feet.
"I'd like to see you- "I'm joking!" Zeke says as Des turns in his direction.
The men laugh a bit. Zeke tickles Des's exposed leg with a leaf. She twitches and kicks backwards at him. She shoots the arrow almost missing the kill zone. Aragorn begins to tell Zeke he thought Des was serious when she turned and punched his shoulder. Zeke's mouth drops open in a silent scream as he holds his shoulder, the men laugh more. She holds an arrow at him as a threat then aims. Zeke tugs her braid as she lets go and the string smack s her arm. (I know how to use a bow but I forget what certain parts are called since I haven't used my bow since I was in the 3rd grade and its too small for me now.) Dessandra squeaks dropping the bow, growls and begins chasing after Zeke.
"I'm going to kill you!"
"Cindy help me!" Zeke runs faster.
"You brought it on yourself." Cynthia tells him. "Get him Des, wow; I haven't seen you run that fast in years!"
"Come on short legs keep- ah!" Zeke runs back towards Aragorn. "Save me!" he runs behind the tree.
Des stops and they play shadow games sliding around the tree.
"She's gone." Legolas lies smiling.
Zeke squeals as Des grabs him by the arm, but he squirms out of her grasp so she grabs his foot as he tried to get away.
"Lego, you traitor!"
"Don't call me that, and I'm not a traitor!"
"Lay down!" Des presses his pressure point making Zeke fall belly down.
"Cindy save me from your evil twin!"
"Shut up." Dessandra pinches his back then starts flicking his ears. "Hurts don't it? Isn't annoying?" Des stops tickling him and messes up his hair.
Legolas, the men, and surrounding elves laugh at Zeke getting beat up by a girl a bit taller than a dwarf. Zeke sighs giving up and lies on the ground limp.
"Dessandra?" Arwen approaches, "Why are you sitting on Zeke?"
"My daily punishment for annoying her." Zeke answers.
"Oh." Arwen says, "I thought you'd like to dress for dinner."
"What's-okay." Dessandra agrees having a glare from her sister and stands up.
"Help me up." Zeke rolls over onto his back and holds up his hands.
"Get up pr I'll drag you to her house."
Zeke groans getting up.
