On to another chapter but first I got a review saying that my spelling was a bit bad. It's true. I'm not english so I guess it's normal, that's why I wanted to apologize. I'm in the process of finding a beta. more mistakes that you find, I'm very sorry.

Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of The Rings. Just my characters.


Lessien was growing very found of the hobbits. Of course Merry and Pippin were the soul of the party and Sam was the most kind person she had ever met but the kin itself was just amazing. The way they lived, with such simplicity and joy, made Lessien wish that sometimes she was a hobbit.

On the second day of the hobbits staying in Rivendell, she was with Merry and Pippin and they were teaching her the songs sang in the Green Dragon when Sam came to them.

"Mr. Frodo is awake. He is just talking to Mr. Bilbo ."

Merry and Pippin stood up immediately.

"Can we go see him?"

"Yes of course." They started walking but when they saw that Lessien wasn't following them, Pippin turned around.

"Lessien you're not coming?"

"Oh no Pippin. It's your moment. I will see Frodo at dinner." she told them with a warm smile.

They smiled too and followed Sam. She watched them go but soon felt like she could use some rest and entered the Last Homely House.

Lessien had just passed trough her father's office when she heard.

"The Time of Elves is over."

'Over?!'

"My people are leaving these shores. Who will you look to when we are gone? The dwarves? They hide in their mountains seeking riches. They care nothing for the troubles of the others." Elrond said.

"It is in Man that we must place our hope."

Lessien walked way she had heard enough. Walking to a balcony near her room she saw as people neared the gate. A man first appeared, alone and with a smug on his face. Then elfs. Then dwarves. Then more men.

'What are these people doing here?'. There was just one person that could answer that apart from her father. Lessien ran to Arwen's room and knocked.

"Sister, may I?"

Arwen was sitting in her bed with a book in her hands. "Of course." she told with a smile.

Lessien sat on the bed and sighed. Arwen noticed this.

"Mani marte? (What happened?)"

"This very unusual and I always did it myself but do you think you can braid my hair Arwen?"

Arwen felt tears in her eyes as she nodded. She moved to the back of Lessien and started moving her hands trough her sister's hair.

Lessien closed her eyes and let herself relax for a couple of minutes. When Arwen was finished she let her sister's hair fall down her back and stepped out of the bed.

"Do you mind if I go see Aragorn?"

"Not at all. But first, can you tell me why so many people are entering Rivendell?

"Now that the One Ring was found, it cannot stay in here. Ada want's a Council with all the races of Middle- Earth to discuss the future of the Ring, and our world."

"Sounds dramatic." Lessien said with an ironic grin.

"Oh yes." Arwen laughed as she left the room.

Lessien left the Last Homely House and went to the training camps.

At the archery camp was an elf. He shot the arrows with such beauty that Lessien had her mouth opened.

She approached him but he didn't noticed her.

"Lle naa curucuar (You are a skillful bowman)" and the elf looked at her surprise.

"I'm sorry my Lady I was taken by surprise but diola lle (thank you)." he said putting the bow down.

"Oh no need to apologize. I should had announced myself. My name is Lessien, my lord."

"Yes, Lord Elrond's daughter. Everyone thought you were dead." At Lessien's expression, he corrected himself.

"News run fast even at Mirkwood."

"You are an elf from Mirkwood?"

"Prince Legolas Greenleaf, of Mirkwood at your service, arwen en amin (my lady)." and then he bowed.

"Care to join me for a walk Prince Legolas?"

"Seasamin (My pleasure)."

So the two elfs left the training camps and walked trough Rivendell's Gardens.

Lessien shared with him her story too, although he already knew some parts. And Legolas told her what was it like to live in the florests of Mirkwood. They get along pretty well, after a few stories Lessien knew she had made a friend.

Legolas was telling her what is was like when he shot his first arrow, when a maid appeared.

"I am sorry my Lord, but the Council will start in a few minutes and Lord Elrond wishes you to be there." she bowed and left.

"We well see again at dinner. My lady." he bowed too.

"My lord." Lessien said with a small smile. Then he was gone.

Since she was not allowed to attend the Council by her father's order Lessien started walking towards the library.

'It is a bit unfair. Elladan and Elrohir have permission to go. They are the old ones speaking the truth but still...'

On her way to her destination she noticed two small shadows hiding behind the pillars where the Council was being held.

She approached them very carefully not to be heard and whispered.

"And what two hobbits that were not invited, are doing here eavesdropping?". They jumped in surprised.

"Lessien! Give a warning next time. Do you want to kill us from a heart attack?"

"Shhh Pippin. Do you want to be discovered? Be quiet." Merry whispered back.

Lessien stood with Pippin behind a pillar and watched as the Council began.

They were all sat in high chairs but Lessien father was in the highest chair. He stood up.

" 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...".

As Elrond spoke Lessien felt a shiver down her spine.

"Bring forth the Ring Frodo."

Frodo, the one hobbit among 20 other men, elfs and dwarves. It was the first time Lessien was seeing him awake and he looked healthy overall but still she could see from a distance that he had suffered much.

The she heard it.

"So it's true!" It was the man with a smug, the one she saw at the gate, he was sitting next to Aragorn.

"Sauron's Ring! The ring of Power!" Legolas said with disbelief.

"The doom of Man" said a dwarf with a red beard.

"It is a gift... a gift to the foes of Mordor! Why not use this Ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, held 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!" the man with the smug said again.

'He's he crazy. You cannot use the Ring. The Ring belongs to Sauron. It's evil' Lessien was felling angry at this man. She hated to have this type of feelings towards someone that she hadn't met but she couldn't help it. What he was saying... it was pure madness. Aragorn chose that moment to speak.

"You cannot wield it. None of us can. The one ring answers to Sauron alone... it has no other master." Internally Lessien nodded her head in agreement but the man didn't appeared as pleased.

"And what would a Ranger know of this matter?" he asked coolly.

At this Legolas stood.

"This is no mere Ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance."

Lessien could run and hug Legolas.

"Aragorn? This is Isildur's heir?"

"And heir to the throne of Gondor." Legolas with a hint of a smug.

"Havo dad (sit down), Legolas." Aragorn said calmly.

"Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king."

Lessien thanked the Valar that Pippin was there because if he hadn't pull her sleeve she would be punching that man at that right moment.

'Steward of Gondor?' she remembered. 'Oh this must be one of his sons, Boromir or Faramir.'

"Aragorn is right... we cannot use it."

"You have only one choice... the Ring must be destroyed." her father said.

"Then... what are we waiting for?" the dwarf with the red beard said, as he raised himself and with his axe tried to break the ring.

'Dumb dwarf'. Lessien knew what it was going to happened even before the axe reached the Ring.

As expected the axe broke but the Ring remained intact.

"The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess." Elrond said.

'It has to be destroyed at Mordor. Where it was made.'

"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."

At this there was silence until the Gondor man raised again.

'Not you again.' Lessien thought with disgust.

"One does not 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."

"Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The ring must be destroyed."

'You tell him Legolas.'

Then Gimli talked.

"And I suppose you think you're the one to do it?" he asked angry.

'What's that suppose to mean?'

"And if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his?" Gondor man spoke again.

Gimli stood.

"I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an Elf!"

Although she did not care of the fight's between elfs and dwarves, Lessien was a bit offended.

A fight had started. Elrond and Gandalf were trying to calm it down. Until a voice was heard and Lessien thought she was dreaming.

Frodo was volunteering to take the Ring all the way to Mordor. At first he was not heard but then she saw Gandalfs face turning into a mix of sadness and regrets.

"I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear."

Aragorn too, knelled at Frodo.

"If, by my life or death, I can protect you, I will. You have my sword."

'Oh Arwen will not be too pleased with this.'

And then for some odd reason Lessien felt sad, and wished to stop him as Legolas went to stand by Frodo's side.

"And you have my bow."

"And my axe." Gimli said.

The man of Gondor, Boromir, she was inclined to guess, walked to him.

"You carry the fate of us all little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, Gondor will see it done."

'That is unexpected.'

Then Lessien heard a noise all across from the room and a hobbit appeared behind some bushes.

"Mr. Frodo is not going anywhere without me." She felt like laughing and apparently her father too.

"No, indeed... it is hardly possible to separate you... even he is summoned to a secret council and you are not." Sam looked down ashamed.

Pippin and Merry also chose that moment to take action and before she could stop them they were both reviling their positions.

The entire council looked at the three of them before Pippin and Merry stepped forward.

"Oi! We're coming too! You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us." Merry said as he took his place in the group.

"Anyway... you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission... quest... thing..."

"Well that rules you out, Pip." Lessien laughed.

Her father took one look at her and then turned to the people standing in front of them.

"Nine Companions. So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of The Ring."

And with that Lessien felt empty and sad. Legolas noticed this and when she looked at him he smile and winked.

She had grown found of the halflings and Aragorn was in love with her sister and Legolas, well for some reason she was not able to described what Legolas meant but he too would be missed by her.


Too long? I got carried away. Update very soon. Until the next time.
