-Don't own anything-

Chapter 5- Elrond's council

Back in Rivendel, lord Elrond had taken a council to see what can be done about the strange visitors, 'Gandalf what do you see?' asked Elrond looking over at the resident shaman, Gandalf lifted his staff and waved it over the fire, the smoke then turned bluish in colour and started to twist and turn, forming the images of men 'these creatures are not like us, they wear clothing that shine like the sun, and have weapons that exceed our own they are like ravenous Hyena's, consuming everything in their path'. Suddenly Haldir stood 'My lord let me take some of our warriors down to the river, we will destroy our enemy' 'no Haldir, take only a few elves down to observe hopefully they do not plan to stay'.

Back on the shore Théoden stepped out of the boat and onto the new land 'I now proclaim this land as Rohan' he said as he put down a flag, 'bravo, beautifully spoken sire' Grima called out through one of the ships portholes, he withdrew and went back to the task of washing Théoden's small dog, Gimli, soon Grima left and Gimli sunk down into his small tub and munched on the cherries from a bowl next to him, Merry, who was watching from a branch beside the porthole, was eyeing the cherries hungrily, licking his lips he leapt lightly from the tree, through the porthole and landed right into the bath tub with Gimli, giving Gimli a wave Merry grabbed the bowl, emptied it into his mouth, waved again at the bewildered dog and jumped out of the tub and ran right out the door, Gimli, finally realizing what happened gave a growl, jumped out and ran after him.

Aragorn was poised on a rock looking out into the forest 'I'm going to scout out the area' he declared before setting off through the tree's, not knowing that Arwen was close behind.

'Right' declared Théoden 'you men unload the ship and you lot get the shovels' 'shovels!?' asked a confused Faramir 'yes shovels, how else are you going to dig up all of the gold'.
