Two Children of Prophecy
Chapter Seventeen: Elusive Elves and Journeys South
Dante sighed two weeks he had been walking northwards from the battle and the opposite direction of the fleeing Orcs, he had never thought that he would miss Shimmering so much, he had never walked so much in his life, thankfully his healing and endurance powers that were always on slightly and his growing ability to make his demonic energy flow was improving greatly, and was recovering and moving much faster than he would normally, he was hoping that he could spot a Elf soon because if he didn't soon he would vaporize the first one he did see, and that wouldn't be good for a future alliance, living in a quite village maybe nice but he was a fighter at heart and he needed the thrill of battle to sate his urges was needed and what better way than fighter Evil and Tyranny, he snorted he just wanted to kill something.
xoxox
Elrond sighed from his look out, he maybe an Elf-Lord but he was also a military leader a lieutenant of Gil-galad and that meant he also had look out duty, he was looking South towards the Weather Hills, he was sure he could see something, blacker than the sky in the background walking closer to the fortress he narrowed his eyes it might be a spy or a scout as far as he knew the Orcs didn't know about Fornost it would stay that way, he silently moved towards the other inner-rooms to make his subordinates know about the figure, he would have the Walls filled and the archers ready, he wasn't letting this getting out he needed to get more warriors before they could adequately fight a few contingents of Orcs.
"There is someone approaching from the South arm the towers and the walls if the stranger tries to run kill him we don't need spy's telling this location as it's secure," the sergeant nodded and left calling the Elves to arms, Elrond took his place above the gates door to address the stranger if he continued to approach, it took almost an hour before Elrond knew that the stranger was able to view Fornost so he knew that the stranger had to turn back if he was to report thankfully the stranger was in Arrow Range, Elrond whispered to his best archer, "If he tries to run aim to kill," the archer nodded and stretched the bow string waiting, so it was quite a surprise when an annoyed Man shouted out "Are you Elves, or Orcs? I can't tell from this Distance," it was shouted in Westron and had a odd accent to it as well, "Why do you want to know?" humouring the Man, "Ahh an Elf then, good I was seriously considering Vaporizing you when I saw you, its hard to find elves."
Unfortunately for the Man the Bow String next to Elrond Twanged as the Elf behind the bow took the threat seriously, Elrond watched the Arrow with a wince, he knew by the tone of voice that it was humour not malice the comment was made with, so he was surprised to open his eyes and seeing the Man looking at the Arrow in his hands, 'he caught an Elven arrow at those speeds, no elf could have done that never mind a Human,' though Elrond with amazement and slight thrill of fear at a human that could do that, he watched as the human continued to walk towards the gate, "Should I shoot again, Lord Elrond," Elrond shook his head as he watched the hooded stranger continue slowly towards the fortress, "We have much to talk about master elf, I have news from Bree-Land and a village that was attacked there," said the stranger in a deep slightly cold tone, no humour in it.
xoxox
Dante chuckled as he watched the elves gape at his party trick, the old catch the speeding arrow and give yourself second degree burns trick, the friction had burnt his hand he though it might set alight thankfully he had been able to stop the curses as his hand was warmed thoroughly, his hand had been healed by the time he made it to the gate and said annoyingly to the Elf that he planned to come in and talk, though it came out colder than he had meant, he had been walking for two weeks without company, he seriously never considered that he would have to walk every where when he came here, and thankfully he found elves before he decided to light up a forest or something in anger.
He waited as the gateway opened slowly the elf on the roof was behind the door heavily armed with a large curved blade, it was beautifully made almost as if it was carved not forged, he blinked and brought himself back to attention and said to the young looking elf, "Hello my name is Dante, I helped build a village in Bree-Land between the Down Hills, it was attacked by around 260 Orcs, the villagers got away safely, but I decided that that I wanted to know what was going on and started looking for the elves as you lot would know what was happening, the village had been getting refugees and travellers through for a month telling horror stories about large Orc attacks when we finally noticed that the over the Weather Hills was a glow to strong for a night time and realised that there must be a large party of people in the Hills so we decided that it would be Orcs and evacuated the we managed to beat back and kill sixty odd Orcs the rest retreated to the South," the Elf was nodding looking at a map, they had been moving towards a study as he said his piece and it seemed that the elf knew that Orcs were attacking.
"So master elf, why was my village attacked by an advanced scouting party preparing for invasion," the Elf winced slightly before replying, "Sauron is back and he is trying to take over the Human and Numenor peoples, the Elves found out his plans and in anger he order Eraidor to be destroyed and the outposts and Numenoreans to be killed, he wants to rule all of Arda," Dante nodded 'Plot for World Domination, CHECK, so the same old plots,' he rolled his eyes, bad guys lived and breathed bad clichés, why couldn't they just take over one part of the world than disappear.
"How can I help? I love fighting and It'd be great to get see some action, I have skills you can't find anywhere else," Elrond looked unsure so Dante did his usual flare for dramatics allowed his eyes to flare with fire turning the glamour off giving the Elf a shock as he stared into his black eyes, Dante lifted his hand up and created fire in his palm, the elf was staring at his hand frozen, Dante clenched his hand and stopped his Pyrokinesis from going out of control, "Well that was unexpected, I assume that you were the one that stopped the contingent of Orcs from slaughtering that village," at Dante's nod the elf seemed to sag, "It's hopeless, the elves don't have the forces or the time to properly defend Eraidor, we will lose it, the Orcs are amassing in force, Sauron has not showed his face but some of the lower fortresses particularly the Numenorean ones have been attacked and in one case destroyed, we are trying to hold this position till more troops arrive, and thanks to you we have a few weeks peace till the Orcs arrive in larger numbers, Gil-galad my liege has asked me to take my own dominion and create it on the below the High Pass going into the Misty Mountains to the Elven Forest Mirkwood."
Dante nodded as the Elf, Elrond he remembered showed him the valley and High Pass on a very detailed map, much better than Raolld's in any case, "How will you protect the refuge, it could be overrun, will you be able to create it in secret and defend it should Sauron find it," Elrond sighed and replied thinking on how to put it best, "The reason the Elves and Sauron march to war is the Rings of Power, there are three Elven rings, nine Human rings and seven Dwarven rings, they were forged by elves and a Maiar who was actually Sauron in disguise, though the three Elven ones were done by the Elves without the help of Sauron, what we didn't know was that Sauron created another ring, a Master Ring that controlled the rest it was so powerful because he used his whole power and soul to bind and create it, the Humans decided not to heed our warning believing we didn't want them to have that kind of power and are now under Sauron's spell turning them into something different…" Elrond took a deep breath before he continued.
"…and the Dwarves like the Elves took off the rings as they felt Sauron and heard him through the rings connection, but the Elves have three rings that he didn't know about and he is angered that we have the power of three rings and the fact his plot to take over is being threatened, Gil-galad is giving me Vilya the Ring of Air to protect and hide Rivendell the valley in which we will move to after it's creation," Dante nodded to Elrond and thought on the matter before saying "Sauron is immortal," Elrond blinked before saying "How so?" looking worried, "I know a few things about connections and if Sauron bound his power and soul into it's creation, he will only die after both his Physical Being and the Ring are destroyed, were did he create it that will be the only place where it can be destroyed as it's a soul connection that means the only metaphysical place were it was bound can it be destroyed," finished Dante thinking 'Looking into connections and life debts was worth it after all.
Elrond really looked pale so pale his face's natural greenish tinge was showing through his skins natural glow, "Mordor!" he said with shock, "Mordor?" Dante repeated Elrond in confusion, Elrond just pointed to Mordor on the map a land pretty much surrounded by high peaked mountains with a couple of Numenorean City and Fortress surrounding it, there is no way but around through the Harad Desert and Khand… or the even longer trek through Rhûn Desert with no water, before turning into the back of Mordor and the Thousand Orc spawning pits and garrisons not to mention that the ring was created in a single volcano closest to Gondor and the only exit or entrance on that side happens to be a giant… no colossal Black Iron Gate, that is opened by a mass of trolls, oh and the thousands of Trolls and Sauron himself standing in the way."
'So I'm not the only one with a sarcastic attitude in this realm,' Dante though before saying "Well the answer to that is to get Sauron to fight outside his fortresses and in a main battle, maybe if the Elves Marched to the Black Gates and called Sauron out and defeated him, cutting the ring away should destroy his body then get the Ring to Mount Doom, corny name by the way, and destroy it, though you should be warned that he will still exist and will eventually grow strong enough to start commanding forces to retrieve the ring, if it's not destroyed, if Sauron does get the ring while in Mordor where his power of the binding is strongest he will be able to regain physical form and the commonsense not to go out into battle and risk himself again, will make it nigh impossible to get to him."
Was still pale but at least he had more information know, but he didn't know why he trusted this stranger with magical powers but his very immortality his Eldar whispered to him to trust this fellow, maybe he was a good Maiar sent by the Valar and Anuir.

Book of Shadows, Mind-Mage Style!!!
Elves:
(Elrond): A Half-Elven Military Leader and a trusted friend of Gil-galad, he is sent to Eraidor by Gil-galad and is one of his Lieutenants, Elrond during the War of the Elves and Sauron creates the refuge Rivendell (Imladris), with the Help of Gil-galad's ring of power Vilya, although Dante will help in this version.
(Gil-galad): Sixth and last of the High Kings of the Noldor. The only son of High King Fingon, Gil-galad was born in Beleriand late in the First Age, and was still a child at the time of the Dagor Bragollach; his father sent him to Círdan at the Havens for safekeeping when Morgoth broke the Siege of Angband in that battle. (Noldor is one of three types of the Elves, the Knowledge Seekers, Dagor Bragollach is the Battle of Sudden Flame)
Rings of Power: Gandalf's Rhyme;
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them,
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
The Elven rings are Vilya the Ring of Air, Nenya the Ring of Water and finally Narya the Ring of Fire, these Rings were created without the help of Sauron and could have only effected the Elves as he cast the Spell to bind the One Ring, and can now use them, Galadriel has the Nenya and use's it to divine the Past, Present and Future and has abilities to help grow Elven trees, Narya belongs to Círdan the Shipwright who use's it's abilities to help him forge metals, although it will eventually to Gandalf the Grey in the Third Age, the Vilya went to Gil-galad but will be given to Elrond to protect Rivendell the new refuge, it has abilities to conceal places and confuse enemies.
The Dwarven rings are lesser rings and enhance a Dwarves physical form to greater heights and can give small earth telling abilities, like finding a vein of Mithril that is in metres of concealing rock, Dwarves were more aware than Sauron believed and knew as soon as the elves did that he was up to no good, a fact they like to remind Elves about, the Nine Rings for the Races of Men were not given up and were worn and it corrupted Nine Kings to Sauron's cause twisting there souls till they became Ring Wraiths, the most powerful being the Witch King.
