A/n: I own only Ireth the rest is Tolkiens and Peter Jacksons. The lines signify either time skip or change of view.

Just for the record Saruman will be ooc as well as many others. In this story Saruman is not evil but he is not that nice toward any other person than Ireth because she saved him from insanity that was Sauron. Do not worry Sauron is still the bad guy.

Countinue with the story.

VI.

The next morning Ireth readied herself for breakfast. She wore a beautiful green dress with Mithril which was embroidered into the edges of the dress so it shone brightly in the morning sun. Her hair was let lose across her shoulders. On her ring finger stood Lain because she decide to stop wearing it around her neck. Lain had possibility to become any form of jewelry but it still had its full power no matter which form. The original form has been ring. When it was in the ring form it had been tear shaped emerald put together with Mithril.

When she entered the Dining Hall all of the company was already there and Thorin was quietly talking to Gandalf. She made her way towards the table.

"Ada, I am so glad to see you. I was afraid that something happened to you. What kept you?"

"I would like to know that myself." Said Elrond from behind them and continued. "Maybe we could talk about it in my office after breakfast."

They didn't reply but Ireth dropped the topic giving both males a sign that they will talk later in the office.

Later in the office Gandalf and Elrond waited patiently for Ireth to arrive. Neither spoke till she came inside. She came and sat looking at her father with a look that said START TALKING.

"I was kept by Saruman. The White Council is to be kept tomorrow. He said that you Ireth are needed and I am not."

"Why not? You are part of The White Council not I."

"Yes but he said that you use your words and time more carefully than I."

"Very well." Said Ireth and left the office.

Later that day the Company and Gandalf went with Elrond to Lathir Ist where they read from the map. They found out that they will need to be on the mountain by the Durin's Day. It went like this:

Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks,

and the setting sun with the last light of Durin's Day

will shine upon the key-hole."*

After that they went to sleep.

Next morning and most of the day was spent packing up for continuing of the trip. Even the twins of Elrond came to help them when Araspen asked for help. They left behind the ponies because the terrain they will go over is not for them. They were not in high spirits when it was discovered that Ireth was staying behind and she would catch up later. They have gotten used to her being there and getting them out of every imaginable and not imaginable shit.

As they were leaving Ireth entered the circular room where The White Council shall have its meeting. She sat and waited.

First came Saruman greeting her:

- Ireth, how are you dear niece? –

Ireth just smiled at him and said:

- Glánor. –

Next came Galadriel. She was smiling down at Ireth the only person ever she allowed to nickname her with Silevel.

For some unknown reason Elrond came last to the meeting without any smile on his face. He just looked at each person and left it at that.

While Elrond and Saruman were talking of such an unimportant thing like dwarves going to Erebor Galadriel talked in mind:

"You knew that they will leave."

"Yes I did. In fact I planned it with Eladan and Elrohir so that it is done when Elrond cannot stop them. "

"Do they know about Lain?"

"No I found it too hard to tell them."

"Why?"

"Because I am afraid."

The next thing they approached at that meeting was Radagast and parcel that he gave to Ireth. In parcel was sword of Witch-King of Agmar.

When the meeting was concluded Ireth packed her belongings so she can go and catch up with the Company. While she was preparing everything for journey on her ring finger Lain shined beneath the stars for it knew that she will need to use it soon and a full form at that.
