Reasons why NOT to join the Fellowship of the ring

by Elleth of Hidden Lore

Have you ever wanted to join the Fellowship of the Ring? Do you have a thirst for adventure, magic and glorious battles? Well, think again. Do you really think being in the Fellowship is that easy? Would you survive months without a bed, bathrooms, toilet paper, and internet? No, of course not. Join Alexandra as she goes though the adventure she never wanted to have. T for language

24. Reason 24

And here it is! Another Aragorn reason! It was suggested in many ways by several of you in the reviews. I hope you like what we did with it!

IMPORTANT! Windy-san and I are writing a specific reason, and I had wanted to go with the flow of the story and allow Boromir's death, but Windy-san is very attached to the man and wants to make it otherwise, in a funny way of course. So we decided that for the next few days you will vote for his life or death, since we don't know if you will like that we alter the story that way, although Alex's presence is an alteration in itself. Still, you get to decide by leaving a comment in the review box beneath!

24- Aragorn's nobility

First the elf makes me feel subconscious about my femininity, now all noble Aragorn makes me feel like a crappy human being in comparison to him! First of all, he's so noble, living and fighting for the ones around him, and when I do something he considers selfish of my part, he gives me these disappointed but understanding and caring looks that are so full of his kind nature, that it simply twists my insides and fills me with the guilt that not even my mother could pull out of me. Seriously! The man takes the phrase "Kill you with kindness" to a freaking new level! I feel guilty just standing beside him, like everything I do is for the wrong reason, while everything he does is so righteous and full of his nobility.

Second, the way he protects everybody all the time, he's always looking out for them, he's always there for them, always willing to throw himself in the line of fire for his companions, where as I can barely help myself. And while he swings his sword so gracefully, slicing and killing with such ease as if he was in a grand dance, where as I am hacking and screaming half the time, exiting the battle in a blood bath, while he hardly has a few drops on him.

And I know it sounds like I'm just complaining, and I know I'm just complaining, but you don't understand what it's like to travel alongside this noble King, while half the time feeling like you're the lowest, sickening, most selfish creature of the world. But he would never say these things to me, oh no. Every time I try to blame myself for things that have gone wrong and are my fault, he tries to make me feel better by saying things like "You just need time to adjust", "You have improved since this journey began", "I have faith that you can do this", "They don't hate you, they just don't like you that much. They'll get used to you." And then he would give me either his mischievous grin or his tender smile, whichever fit the occasion better, but that would just end up making me feel worse than before!

Just in case you didn't read the note above, but if you did, then you can skip this, if not, please read.
