This ones the shortest of them yet.
Anyway more info at the bottom.
Isengard is now surrounding by deep ravines in the ground, which glow orange. Wooden structures stand around the ravines. Inside the ravines, wooden walkways and pulleys have been built, where hundred's of orc are working. A moth flies over the caverns to the top of Orthanc, where Gandalf sits dozing. As it flies past him, he quickly reaches out a hand and gently grabs it.
"What's he going to do with that?" Filvis asked.
"That moth was sent by radagast the Brown. A fellow wizard friend of Gandalf's but hated by Saruman. radagast prefers the company of the woods and it's animals over men, dwarves and elves."
GANDALF:(whispering to the moth in an unknown language) Gwaihir go! Gwaihir The moth flies off.
"So looks like helps coming for him then." Eina said smiling at that.
Deep inside the caverns the orcs are forging rough weapons. Trees continue to be felled and thrown into the pits, to be burnt in the fires in their depths.
The elves did not like seeing the site
Saruman walks around in them, watching the iron being smelted and poured into moulds as helmets and more weapons are made around him. In one corner of the caverns, some orcs are trying to prize something that is moving from the mud.
"O-oh gods I think I'm going to be sick." Anakitty said as EDVH gave her a bag to puke in.
She wasn't the only one as many of the girls went green at seeing such a site.
The boys faring little better as they could only look away.
The gods (sans one) were appalled by the site of such abominations
Saruman arrives to watch. Through the membranes beneath a huge creature emerges, and grabs the orc nearest to it and kills it. Some orcs go to intervene, but Saruman holds them back. The huge creature, an Uruk Hai stands up, growling, holds out his hand and looks at it. Saruman smiles slightly watching it.
"EDVH please tell us we don't have to see that again." Ryu asked more like pleading than anything else.
"Thankfully you don't"
"So that's how Orcs are born?"
"No. No one really knows it is said that Orcs were once Elves. Though corrupted either trough dark magic, torture. Others say the dark lord Morgoth created them. We just don't fully know."
Silence filled that room, and in in the silence questions abounded.
Lillie is lying on the ground staring upwards at some huge stone trolls
Finn: Look Lillie. It's Ms Mia's trolls
Lillie gasps for breath. Her eyes have turned cloudy. Finn feels herforehead
"Oh gods! She's in critical condition." Amid said
"No shit." Bete and Allen responded.
Naza flaring her ears while the two medical gods were racking through their brains thinking of what they might do.
Finn: She's going cold!
Bell stands between the trolls holding a torch aloft.
Anya: Is she going to die?
Bell: She's passing into the Shadow world. She'll soon become a wraith like them.
"WHAT?!"
"NO!"
"DO SOMETHING!"
Lillie gasps again. Screeches are heard through the woodland.
Chloe: They're close!
Bell: Finn! Do you know the Athelas plant?
Finn: Athelas?
Bell: Kingsfoil
Finn: Kingsfoil, aye, its a weed!
Bell: It may help to slow the poison. Hurry!
"Good thinking but will it help give her the time to make it to Rivendell." Miach stated.
They run through the woodland, scanning the ground. Bell stops when he finds a low growing plant covered in white flowers. He takes out his knife to cut some. A sword appears at Bell's throat.
GASP!*
"BELL!"
Lefiya: What's this? a Ranger caught off his guard ? (he turns round to look)
"T-That voice." Loki said
"It's so beautiful." Alicia said amazed.
"It can't be." Tione said shocked or was it surprise
"LEFIYA! You're here!" Tiona said wrapping her arms around the elfess
"W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING THREATENING MY BELL!"
"Even in that world you have a beef with Bell." Riveria whispered to herself.
Lillie, opening her eyes, sees a vision of a white horse riding towards him with a maiden upon it, a bright white light surrounding her.
"Wow." Bell said stunned.
Others agreed. Raul was transfixed on such a site...before he was pinched on the side by a cat girl with a puffed out cheek.
Lefiya was stunned at seeing a grown version of herself and in such a light. That feeling however was ruined by her goddess.
"Lefiya-Tan! You grew into such a heavenly beauty!" Loki said rubbing and running her hands all over the poor lass.
Thankfully that didn't last long as Alicia and Riveria came to her rescue.
"There'll be none of that." Riveria firmly and sharply stated.
"Oh come on! Look how Miach she'll grow! Tell me you ain't proud! She'll be you're greatest rival in beauty Riveria." Loki said and or pleaded.
"While yesyou are right, that doesn't give you the excuse to molest her!"
She dismounts and walks towards her and kneels beside him
Lefiya: Lillie Im Lefiya. Telin le thaed. Lasto beth nin. Tolo dan na galad (I am Lefiya . I have come to help you. Hear my voice. Come back to the light)
Lillie gasps. Finn and Anya watch on
Chloe: Who is she?
Bell joins her, as Lefiya mops Lillie's brow. Bell chews up some Athelas
Lefiya:Lillie
Finn: She's an elf!
Lefiya: she's fading (she pulls back Lillie's shirt to reveal the wound)
Bell puts the chewed Athelas into the wound. Lillie gasps!
Lefiya: she's not going to last. We must get him to my father.
"What?" Lefiya said surprised. It's been so long since she's seen her real father. She was genuinely surprised by the statement her other self made.
Bell lifts Lillie up
Lefiya: I've been looking for you for two days. (Bell carries Lillie to Lefiya 's horse) There are five wraiths behind you, where the other four are I do not know
Bell:(placing Lillie on Lefiya 's horse) Dartho guin perian. Rych le ad tolthathon. (Stay with the Hobbits. I will send horses back for you.)
Lefiya: Hon mabathon. Rochon ellint im. (Im the faster rider. Ill take him.)
Bell: Andelu i ven. (The road is too dangerous)
Anya: What are they saying ?
Lefiya: Lillie fr. Ae athradon i hir, tur gwaith nin beriatha hon. (Lillie's dying. If I can get across the river, the power of my people will protect her.)
I do not fear them
Bell:(takes Lefiya 's hand and holds it tightly) Be iest ln. (As you wish.)
"W-w-w-w-WHAT WAS THAT!!!????" Hestia all but screams getting the the animal folk to have to cover their ears before EDVH put a silencer barrier around her.
"N--NOOOOO!!!" Lefiya wailed as if her soul was slowly being dragged down to Niflheim of course EDVH had to do the same with her as well.
"Hands off my Lefiya bunny!" Loki threatens looking at Bell who was seated behind her
"S-surely it's not that bad is it?" Filvis asked trying to ease her friends soul crushing revelation.
"So... they're a thing?" Welf asked as if it wasn't obvious enough.
"Indeed. They are deeply in love with each other."
"Hahaha! Not bad in taste little Elf." Gareth teased lightly smacking Lefiya on her shoulder. Once again inciting a pitiful noise from the elf.
Ryu, Lillie, Freya, Syr and Haruhime were heartbroken at hearing and seeing the interaction as well as the explanation EDVH gave. Ais.. Ais was being Ais while inner Ais was broken and on her knees.
Lefiya mounts her horse behind Lillie who is still having trouble breathing
Bell: Ride hard. Don't look back
Lefiya: Noro lim, Asfaloth, noro lim! (Ride fast, Asfaloth, ride fast)
She rides off through the woods.
Finn: What're you doing ? Those wraiths are still out there!
Bell looks on worried
Lefiya rides through the fields and open plains. Through woodlands. She notices through the trees a black rider. As she reaches a clearing he rides alongside her, and then is joined by another two, screeching. Five follow her closely behind now. As she dodges in and out of the trees she catches her face on a branch. In open ground, eight wraiths now follow her. Lillie looks sideways at the wraiths as one reaches out his hand to her.
"Run!!!" Filvis and Alicia shouted at the Screen. Forgetting that it's pointless and it's someone else. But Lefiya like most everyone there quickly forgot the whole Love thing at seeing one of their own in extreme peril.
Lefiya: Noro lim Asfaloth! (Ride faster Asfaloth!)
Asfaloth pulls away from them, dodging in and out of trees. Jumping a log, they finally reach the river. Lefiya rides across to the other side, whilst the nine wraiths stand on the opposite shore facing her, their horses rearing in frustration, the wraiths screeching.
WRAITH: Give up the halfling She-elf.
Lefiya:(draws her sword) If you want her. Come and claim her
"Whoo. Trying to steal hearts are we?" Loki said tease fanning her self.
"Nah,it's obvious there's no difference in these two Lefiya's!" Gareth teased/praised smiling hugely.
"Maybe we should have you be the new beaver!" Tiona said cheekily.
Lefiya simply blushing at their praises.
All nine wraiths draw their swords raised and gallop across the river towards her
Lefiya:Nin o Chithaeglir, lasto beth daer, Rimmo nin Bruinen, dan in Ulair!
(she closes her eyes) Nin o Chithaeglir, lasto beth daer,
Rimmo nin Bruinen, dan in Ulair!
(Waters of the Misty Mountains listen to the great word; flow waters of Loudwater against the Ringwraiths!)
The water level starts to rise. Suddenly a great wave comes from upriver. The wraiths horses become nervous and turn to flee. White horses appear in the great wave and chase the wraiths, flooding them and taking them away.
"That was amazing!!" Tiona said Stars in her eyes.
"Very impressive." Riveria praised her.
"Hahah!! That's the thousand elf for you!" Loki praised.
Lefiya didn't know what to think. She knew it wasn't her that should be praised yet it still felt awkward.
Lillie suddenly becomes very weak, as Lefiya lies her on the ground.
Lefiya: No! Lillie! No! Lillie don't give in, not now. Tears spring into her eyes as she hugs her
Lefiya VO: What grace has given me, let it pass to her. Let her be spared.
Lefiya felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking back she saw that it was Hestia.
"Thanks for doing your best to try and help her." She said.
"U-um.. you're welcome?"
Visions of Rivendell appear. Lillie appears sleeping in the visions
Lefiya VO:Save her
ELROND:(face appears in the vision) Lasto beth nn. Tolo dan na ngalad. (Hear my voice, come back to the light)
"Isn't that that elf guy at the beginning of the viewing?" Daphne asked as many now realized that it was actually a familiar face. Though it took some time to remember for some.
.

Lillie:(waking in a dream, surrounded by white light) Where am I ?
GANDALF:(speaking tho not visible) You are in the House of Elrond (the white mist clears) and it is ten o'clock in the morning on October the 24th, if you want to know
"Gandalf!?"
"He made it!"
"How!?"
Lillie still has her eyes closed, but frowns confused. She opens her eyes and looks to the side of her bed
Lillie:(surprised) Gandalf!
GANDALF:(is sitting beside the bed that Lillie is lying in, smoking his pipe) Yes, I am here (he draws on his pipe) and you're lucky to be here too. A few more hours and you would have been beyond our aid, (he shakes his head) but you have some strength in you (he smiles) my dear hobbit
At those words a few people outside of Hestia Familia shared in his relived smiled and comment.
Lillie sits up and clutches his her breast
Lillie:(blinks) What happened Gandalf?
Gandalf looks at her quizzically
Lillie: Why didn't you meet us?
GANDALF:(looking into the distance) Oh, I'm sorry Lillie (he sighs) I was delayed
"Thats an understa-" Rose was about to say when she saw that
Gandalf is shown being thrown to the ground on the roof top of Isengard. Saruman walks up to him, pointing his staff at him
SARUMAN: The friendship of Sauron is not lightly thrown aside
Saruman uses his staff to throw Gandalf across the rooftop, and leave him lying in midair off the edge of the roof
SARUMAN:One ill turn deserves another (walking over to Gandalf) it is over
Gandalf sees a moth fly past his face
SARUMAN: Embrace the power of the Ring, or embrace your own destruction (he lifts his staff and throws Gandalf face first back onto the roof top)
GANDALF: There is only Lord of the Ring (he looks up at Saruman) Only one who can bend it to his will (he sees the moth fly behind Saruman, followed by an eagle) and he does not share power (he scrambles to his feet and jumps from the roof top)
Saruman walks to the edge of the roof to see Gandalf on the back of the eagle flying off.
SARUMAN:So you have chosen death
The eagle flies off over the Misty Mountains as dawn rises
Back in Rivendell Lillie is still look quizzically at Gandalf
Lillie:Gandalf? What is it?
GANDALF:(wakes from his daydream memory) hmm (he shakes his head and speaks unconvincingly) Nothing Lillie.
"The heck it is!" Ouka said seeing full well.
Finn: Lillie! (he comes running in and takes Lillie's hand) Lillie!
Lillie: Finn!
Finn: Bless you, you're awake (Lillie laughs)
GANDALF:(smiling) Finn has hardly left your side
Finn:(sitting on the bed) We were that worried about you, weren't we Mr Gandalf?
GANDALF: by the skills of Lord Elrond (he turns his head as Elrond enters the room) you're beginning to mend
ELROND: Welcome to Rivendell Lillie Baggins
An elf on a horse can be seen riding into Rivendell from afar. We see Rivendell in the depths of a valley.
"Oh my!" Ryu said shocked at such a beautiful place.
"Not even the Great Alf Forest has a place as beautiful as that." Riveria said stunned the Rivendell.
"A place even the gods would live." Ouranus said.
"Put me down for a reservation." Hermes said.
"Otarl, Allen, remind me to set in expedition to see if any such place exists in our world."
"Yes my lady."
Lillie walks out onto her balcony and looks out on Rivendell. She walks around with Finn and suddenly comes across Chloe and Anya who run to her and they hug, laughing. She suddenly pauses as she sees a small figure sitting on a bench writing in a book, it is Mia, aged a bit.
"So that's what I'll look like." Mia said a bit blank.
"Without the ring age is now catching up to you." Miach said as Naza and Amid nodded at his words
Lillie:(runs over to him) Mia!
Mia:(stands up) Hello Lillie my dear
Lillie:(runs up and hugs her) Mia
Lillie opens up Mia's book and sees the title written there
Lillie:"There and Back Again... A Hobbits Tale" by Mia Baggins (she flicks through the pages looking at the maps and drawings and scribing) This is wonderful
"That's impressive." Bell said at seeing the writing and the drawing of the map. Haruhime and Tione nodding in agreement. It brought him back to when his gramps would read stories to him.
Mia: I meant to go back. Wander the paths of Mirkwood, (she walks over to sit beside Lillie) visit Laketown, see the Lonely Mountain again (sitting down) but age it seems has finally caught up with me
"And fast too." Bete said with genuine surprise. Though he forgot that it has been some years since she left it with Lillie.
Lillie continues to turn the pages until she reaches the map of the Shire. Mia smiles at her, they look at it together
Lillie: I miss the Shire. I spent all my childhood pretending I was off somewhere else... off with you on one of your adventures...(pauses thinking) My own adventure turned out to be quite different (they turn to look at each other) I'm not like you Mia
Mia:(half smiles and reaches a hand to Lillie's face) My dear girl
Finn can be seen packing his backpack
Finn: Now what have I forgotten
Lillie walks up to him
Lillie: Packed already?
Finn:(stands up startled) No harm in being prepared
"Indeed." Hermes said in agreement
Lillie: I thought you wanted to see the elves Finn More than anything (she said as she walks away)
Finn: I do. I did. Its just (he looks around to see who's listening and walks over to Lillie) We did what Gandalf wanted didn't we? We got the Ring this far to Rivendell and I thought... seeing as how you're on the mend, we'd be off soon ... off home
"I don't think it'd be that simple or easy." Misha said still wondering about the Nazgul.
Lillie: You're right Finn (she turns to face him) We did what we set out to do (she takes the Ring out of her pocket and holds it out) the Ring will be safe in Rivendell. I am ready to go home.
.
.
.
.
Elrond and Gandalf are looking down at Lillie and Finn from a balcony
ELROND: Her strength returns
GANDALF: That wound will never fully heal, she will carry it for the rest of her life
"That sucks." Welf said hearing about it.
"I'm sure she can take medical herbs and other remedies for it. But yes. Phantom pains and things like it will always be a burden." Naza said looking at her own arm.
(he looks at Elrond)
ELROND: And yet to come so far, still bearing the Ring, the hobbit has shown extraordinary resilience to its evil (he walks over to a carafe of wine)
GANDALF: It is a burden she should never have had to bear. (shaking his head) we can ask no more of Lillie.
ELROND:(turning to look at Gandalf, speaks seriously) Gandalf! The enemy is moving Sauron's forces are massing in the east, his eye is fixed on Rivendell ... and Saruman you tell me has betrayed us... (Gandalf looks away folorn) Our list of allies grows thin!
GANDALF: His treachery runs deeper than you know. (Elrond looks at him frowning) By foul craft Saruman has crossed orcs with goblin men, he is breeding an army in the caverns of Isengard. An army that can move in sunlight and gather great distance at speed. Saruman is coming for the Ring.
ELROND: This evil cannot be concealed by the power of the elves. We do not have the strength to fight both Mordor and Isengard (Gandalf walks away from him) Gandalf! the Ring cannot stay here
"Oh is he taking a piss!? They just went through all that and now he says it's pointless?!" Welf yelled in anger.
Gandalf looks folorn. He leans on the balcony and looks out. He sees Boromir riding into Rivendell, then Legolas and other elves.
Many of the elves couldn't help but blush at seeing the elven archer.
"W-who is that?" Alicia said sporting a unashamed blush. Riveria next to her sporting a small one as well.
"Legolas. The elven prince of Mirkwood."
"Wow." Filvis simply said voicing the same thought as Alicia and Ryu... much to her shame as she glanced at Bell before looking away ashamed.
"Don't worry Ryu~ I'm sure Bell would share you." Syr said giving a devious wink and sticking her tongue out playfully.
and Gareth walking with fellow dwarves.. all look in wonder at this place.
"Now why am I not surprised?" Loki said crossing her arms.
ELROND VO: This peril belongs to all in Middle Earth they must decide now how to end.
ELROND: The time of the elves is over. My people are leaving these shores. Who will you look to when we've gone? The dwarves? They hide in their mountains seaking riches, they care nothing for the troubles of others
"What does he mean the time of the Elves is over?!"
"Another time." EDVH simply said.
GANDALF:(turning to him) It is in men we must place our hope
ELROND:Men! (turning away) Men are weak (he walks through his library Gandalf follows) the race of men is failing. The blood of Numenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity all but forgotten. It is because of men the Ring survives. I was there Gandalf (we see Elrond fighting in the Battle of the Last Alliance) I was there three thousand years ago (Elrond watches as Isildur cuts the Ring from Sauron's hand) when Isildur took the Ring. I was there the day the strength of men failed (Isildur looks at the Ring he has just cut) Isildur hurry, follow me (Elrond in the battle appears before Isildur) I led Isildur into the heart of Mount Doom (Elrond appears inside Mount Doom, with Isildur behind him, he beckons to Isildur He speaks to Isildur) Come!
ELROND VO:Where the Ring was forged. The one place it could be destroyed (Elrond looks at Isildur)
ELROND:(to Isildur) Cast it into the fire
Isildur holds the Ring up and rolls it in his fingers
ELROND:Destroy it!
ISILDUR:No (he turns and walks out of Mount Doom)
ELROND:Isildur! (Isildur walks out of the Crack of Doom)
"You should have pushed him over the edge!!" Tsubaki yelled.
And while others were horrified y the idea, they couldn't deny the idea either.
ELROND VO:It should have ended that day but evil was allowed to endure (Elrond in Mount Doom, stares after Isildur in despair)
ELROND:(turns to Gandalf) Isildur kept the Ring. The line of Kings is broken. There's no strength left in the world of men. They're scattered, divided, leaderless
GANDALF: There is one who could unite them. One who could reclaim the throne of Gondor
ELROND: He turned from that path a long time ago. He has chosen exile.
"I wonder why." Eina asked
"Care to answer or are we going to have to wait for an explanation?" Takemazuchi asked to which he got a smile from EDVH as she put a finger to her lips.
Bell is sitting quitely on a landing in Rivendell, surrounded by beautiful paintings, reading a book. He looks up as he hears footsteps. Boromir walks up to a painting on the wall, depicting Isildur cutting the Ring from Sauron's finger and his sword breaking. He looks in awe at it, then suddenly turns as he hears a faint noise. He sees Bell reading and looks at him quizzically
BOROMIR: You are no elf
Bell: Men of the South are welcome here
BOROMIR:(nods) Who are you ?
Bell: I'm a friend of Gandalf the Grey
BOROMIR:(nods) Then we are here on a common purpose (he pauses) friend.
"He seems like a nice guy." Lillie said
"I hope so... who is he anyway?"
"Boromir son of the current steward of Gondor. The stewards are tasked with watching over Gondor in the absence of the king... unfortunately Gondor is without a king. And the steward has grown lazy, and comfortable in his position without a king to answer to."
"How awful."
Bell just looks back at him. Boromir turns, a little confused. He notices a statue of a lady holding an elven shield with broken sword pieces on it
BOROMIR: The shards of Narsil (he picks up the hilt part of the broken sword) The blade that cut the Ring from Sauron's hand (he runs his finger along the tip of it and cuts it causing it to bleed) Ah! (looks at it in wonder) Its still sharp (he looks at Bell who is staring at him) but no more than a broken heirloom (he drops the sword quickly and walks off. The sword end falls to the ground. Boromir pauses, but continues to walk)
"Ahh show a bit more respect man!" Tsubaki said not liking the treatment of the sword. Her fellow smith and god nodded in agreement
Bell walks up and picks up the sword hilt. He pauses and sighs, the replaces it carefully upon its plinth with reverence.
"Just like That."
Lefiya walks up behind him
Lefiya: Why do you fear the past. You are Isildur's heir, not Isildur himself. You are not bound to his fate.
"What!?" Was a shared response of surprise.
"Bell-kun! You're the rightful heir to the throne!" Hestia said happily.
Bell: The same blood flows in my veins (he turns to face her) The same weakness
Lefiya :(walking up to him) Your time will come. You will face the same evil and you will defeat it. A si i-Dhath -orthor, Bell . or le a or nin. (The Shadow does not hold sway yet, Bell. Not over you and not over me.)
.
.
.
.
It is night. Bell and Lefiya stand opposite each other on a small bridge hidden away in Rivendell.
"No. NOOO!!" Lefiya said in denial as she ran out of the room.
"L-Lefiya!" Filvis said running after her. (Nah I'm Just mucking with ya! She's shocked still in her seat!)
Lefiya :Renech i lu i erui govannen? (Do you remember when we first met?)
Bell :Nauthannem i ned ol reniannen. (I thought I had strayed into a dream.)
"B-" Hestia was about to scream at the top of her lungs when EDVH put up a sound barrier.
Much to the thankfulness of everyone there.
Lefiya :(reaching up and stroking his face) Gwenwin in enninath...U-arnech in naeth i si celich. (Long years have passed. You did not have the cares you carry now.) Renech i beth i pennen? (Do you remember what I told you?)
Bell :(sighs and runs his fingers over the Evenstar hanging from her neck) You said you would bind yourself to me (she stares at him meaningfully) foresaking the immortal life of your people
GASP* "that's so romantic!" Tionesaid as she stared at the screen star eyed as she grabbed Lefiya' left arm in awe. To say the girl in question was blushing would be an understatement. It would be better to say she was blushing that would put molten hot iron to shame as she hurried her face in her hands. Bell shared a same effect as he was fiddling around looking at the ground.
Unfortunately others did not share that same idea. You know who they are.
Lefiya: And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.
"Wow." Rose, Misha, Lunoir and Tione all said. Fanning themselves a bit at such a romantic declaration.
Welf gave Bell a thumbs up and a cheeky grin before being ganged upon by Lillie and Hestia.
Lefiya loosens her hold on Bell's gripped hand. He looks down and opens his hand to discover the Evenstar lying there
"That's a nice necklace."
Lefiya: I choose a mortal life
Bell: You cannot give me this
Lefiya: It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart (she closes his hand over the Evenstar. They look at each other hesitating and then kiss)
Some women were sporting blushes at such a display of love. Hoping one day they'd have something true like that.
Others whistled
And for one human and Elf. They'd never live it down nor forget.
"HAHAH! I knew there was something more than just hatred!" Gareth said.
"N-n-n-no! I'd never love a filthy human like him!" She cried out pointing her finger accusingly at him.
"Hey! What's wrong with him!?" Syr, Ryu and Haruhime said as they didn't take the insults to the man of their affection so kindly.
"H-h-h-h He's." Lefiya was trying to say as nothing really came up as she really didn't want Ais to hear the reason she doesn't like him.
"H-h He's a pervert! And he's smelly!" She finally said at hearing that everyone just looked at her blankly not even for a second believing her words.
"Lefiya." Riveria simply said. Exasperation and embarrassment evident in her voice.
"D-e-n-I-a-l~~~~" Anakitty said teasingly wagging her finger.
"You could do a lot worse." Filvis said also showing her approval of their love. To which Lefiya looked so betrayed and hurt.
"Let's face it Girl. The more you deny the more evident it shows." Otarl said surprising many there at his words as Freya simply laughed at the exchange.
.

.
Seated in a circle are all the representatives of Middle Earth. Elrond stands to greet them
ELROND: 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. (He looks at them all and settles on Lillie, gesturing to her) Bring forth the Ring, Lillie.
Lillie walks over to the stone plinth in the middle of the circle and carefully puts the Ring down on it
"It still amazes me. All this for such a simple looking thing."Dionysius said amazed.
BOROMIR:(puts his hand to his mouth) So it's true
Lillie sits back down and sighs, closing her eyes. Legolas and Gareth eye the Ring suspiciously as it seemingly speaks to them. Boromir stands up
BOROMIR: In a dream (he looks again at the Ring) I saw the Eastern sky grow dark (he starts to walk towards the Ring) In the West a pale light lingered A voice was crying, your doom is near at hand (he keeps walking over to the Ring) Isildur's bane is found (Elrond looks at Gandalf concerned. Boromir stretches out his hand to the Ring) Isildur's Bane
"Shit." Bete simply said.
"That fast." Miach said shaking his head in pity.
Elrond jumps to his feet
ELROND:Boromir!
The sky darkens and Gandalf beings to speak in Black Speech, Boromir jumps back.
GANDALF:Ash nazg durbatulk, ash nazg gimbatul, (Gareth shouts, and as Gandalf stands Boromir backs off to his seat)
ash nazg thrakatulk (Elrond holds his head in pain, and Legolas closes his eyes grimacing) agh burzum-ishi krimpatul. (Lillie stares at the Ring as it appears to be talking to him)
(One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the Darkness bind them)
The sky clears and the sun reappears Boromir sits down shocked
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" Alicia shouted as even she was effected by those dark words. Not to such an extent as those of middle Earth. But she felt it in her soul. A dark rot.
ELROND:(horrified and angered) Never before has anyone uttered words of that tongue here in Imladris
GANDALF: I do not ask your pardon Master Elrond for the Black Speech of Mordor may yet be heard in every corner of the West (he turns round to look at everyone there) The Ring is altogether evil (he turns to sit back down)
BOROMIR:(shakes his head) Aye it is a gift! (he stands up) A gift to the foes of Mordor. Why not use this Ring ? (He walks round addressing everyone) Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor kept the forces of Mordor at bey. By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy, let us use it against him
"No." Everyone watching said
Bell: You cannot wield it. None of us can (Boromir turns to face him) The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master.
"Yeah Tell him Bell!" Hestia said
BOROMIR:(scathingly) and what would a ranger know of this matter?
LEGOLAS;(standing up) This is no mere Ranger. He is Bell son of Arathorn You owe him your allegiance
BOROMIR:(looks at Bell in disbelief. Lillie looks at Bell amazed) Bell! This.. is Isildur's heir
LEGOLAS: And heir to the throne of Gondor
Lillie continues to try and take in all this information. Bell holds his hand up
Bell :Havo dad, Legolas (Sit down, Legolas.)
BOROMIR:(turns to Legolas) Gondor has no King. (he walks back to his seat, staring at Bell ) Gondor needs no King (he stares at Bell disdainfully)
"Rude." Mikoto simply snarked
GANDALF: Bell is right. We cannot use it
ELROND:(standing up again) You have only one choice. The Ring must be destroyed.
Gareth: Then what are we waiting for
Gareth stands, takes his axe. Elrond and Gandalf look worried as Gareth brings his axe down on the Ring. Gareth is thrown onto the floor, his axe blade shattered, whilst the Ring remains undamaged.
"Whoa!" Everyone said in shocked surprise at witnessing the axe get absolutely destroyed.
A shock vision of the eye appears to Lillie who holds her head in pain.Gandalf looks at Lillie in concern as the words of the One Ring are uttered from it
"You okay Lillie?" Welf asked her at seeing her middle earth counterpart.
"Of course, why wouldn't Lillie be?"
Cassandra was as effected as Middle Earth' Lillie, as she too knew what that feeling was with her visions
ELROND:The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gareth, son of Gloin,
by any craft that we here possess. 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 firey chasm from whence it came. (the Ring continues to whisper) One of you... must do this
There is silence
"That's crazy!" Alicia said shocked.
"Nah that's what great adventures are made of!" Hermes said before being blasted by Asfi who shared in the She Elf's comment of it being crazy.
BOROMIR: One does 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. Tis 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. (shaking his head) It is folly
"When he puts it like that. It's suicidal." Loki said.
"Cant say it'll be an easy quest."
"No shit."
LEGOLAS:(jumping to his feet) Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The Ring must be destroyed
Gareth: and I suppose you think you're the one to do it.
BOROMIR: and if we fail what then? (he stands up) What happens when Sauron takes back what is his ?
Gareth:(jumps to his feet) I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an elf
"Gareth!" His Familia chastised him.
"It's not me!"
The elves stand up to back Legolas. The men do the Finne, they all start talking and arguing
Gareth: Never trust an elf
Gandalf shakes his head. Lillie watches the arguing in the reflection in the Ring. Gandalf stands to join the arguments
"What a useless mess." Riveria said crossing her arms at the site.
"And while they bicker the enemy gets closer to them." Ouranus said as he took shook his head.
GANDALF: Do you not understand that while we bicker amongst ourselves, Sauron's power grows?! None can escape it! You'll all be destroyed
Lillie stares at the Ring as she hears these words uttered:
Ash nazg durbatulk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatulk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul
The people she can see in the Ring are suddenly covered with a Ring of fire
Ash nazg durbatulk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatulk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul
Lillie:(standing up) I will take it
"No!" Her familia and friends all screamed at hearing what she had just saidZ
(they continue to argue, not hearing her) I will take it (Gandalf closes his eyes in sorrow) I will take the Ring to Mordor (they all stop and look at her in awe) Tho, I do not know the way
"Lady Lillie please don't do it." Haruhime pleaded as she just watched as Lillie offer to undertake such a quest.
"You're middle earth counter parts got balls I'll give you that." Bete said.
"Brave but I'd say entirely foolish for jumping in like that." Otarl said.
"She's crazy is what she is." Allen remarked.
"This is amazing! What a quest!" Raul whispered to Anakitty who simply glared a bit at his excitement which was not the time to do.
GANDALF: I will help you bear this burden Lillie Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear. (he walks and stands behind her)
Bell:(who has so far not joined in the arguments, stands) If by my life or death I can protect you, I will (he walks up to Lillie and kneels before her) You have my sword
Seeing and hearing his words Lillie couldn't help but blush. Thinking of an older Bell with her on their dungeon adventures. Well. Let's just say if I were to tell you what it did too her I'd have to change the rating.
Freya looked on the pallum in jealousy.
Gandalf smiles and looks at Elrond who smiles
LEGOLAS: and you have my bow (he walks over to join the others)
Gareth: and my axe (looking at Legolas who grimaces as he too joins the others)
"Haha!" Gareth laughed at the elf's reaction.
BOROMIR: You carry the fate of us all little one. (he walks towards them) If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done.
"Yeah no. I'd not want him on the journey Finn said as everyone saw how quickly he was lured by the ring.
Peering through the bushes Finn shouts and runs to join Lillie
Finn: Ms Lillie's not going anywhere without me.
"Haha! Brave. If I didn't know better I'd say you're into the lass!" Gareth laughed.
Getting a sigh from Riveria, a murderous growl from Tiona and glare from the captain.
"I agree Gareth." Loki said.
"Ok course you do." Riveria snarked
"Well I think we could all use a good friend like that." Lefiya said.
Filvis nodding.. but than feeling guilty at hearing her words. Rather it be because of her survivors guilt or the fact that she Ein and all that she is too Lefiya is a lie.
ELROND: No indeed it is hardly possible to seperate you, even when she is summoned to a secret council and you are not!
Anya and Chloe are listening to all this from behind some pillars. They run in
Chloe: Wait! we're coming too!
They run and join the others. Elrond looks astounded
"Hahaha! That's my girls!" Mia said smiling at the site. Syr ryu and Freya share in the smile at seeing them join in.
"They're screwed." Allen muttered
Chloe: You'd have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us
Anya: Anyway you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission ...quest ...thing
*Slap*
Chloe: Well that rules you out Anya
ELROND:(looks at the nine stood together) Nine companions... So be it! You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring!
"Haha now this is worth of a tale!" Hermes said smiling at it all. Already taking notes.
Anya: Great! Where are we going?
SLAP*
*SLAP*
*SLAP*
*SLAP*
*SLAP*
In the garden's of Rivendell, the hobbits stand waiting with Gareth and Boromir. Legolas runs down some steps to join them
A hand brushes over a grave stone to reveal the elven writing on it: Onen i-Estel Edain, -chebin estel anim.( I gave Hope to the Dunedin, I have kept no hope for myself)
"What's that mean?"
pulling off moss and brushing aside leaves. Bell kneels in front of the statue of his mother.
ELROND IN THE BACKGROUND: Anirne hene beriad i chn n. Ned Imladris nauthant e le beriathar aen. (She wanted to protect her child. She thought that in Rivendell you would be safe.)
"Mom?" Bell Said surprised and shocked
Bell brushes his hand over the statue's face
ELROND IN THE BACKGROUND: In her heart your mother knew you'd be hunted all your life
"H-hunted!?"
"Yes. The Blood of Isildur runs through him. Sauron would stop at nothing to see Bell dead." EDVH explained
ELROND:(walking through the bushes towards Bell) but you'd never escape your fate. The skill of the elves can reforge the sword of Kings, but only you have the power to wield it. (Bell looks up and pauses)
Bell: I do not want that power, I have never wanted it
ELROND:You are the last of that blood line, there is no other.
"I'm afraid you may not have a choice with this quest young master Bell." Ouranus said as the gods even Hestia could only nod at his words.

A sack cloth is drawn aside, revealing a small sword
Mia: My old sword, Sting (Mia picks up the sword and hands it to Lillie. They are in Mia's bedchamber in Rivendell) Here, take it, take it.
"That's some nice craftsmanship." Welf said.
"Of course. It's an Elven blade." EDVH answered.
Lillie draws the sword from its sheath, looking at it in awe
Lillie: Its so light!
Mia:Yes Yes (Lillie turns it round looking at the blade) Made by the elves you know. The blade glows blue when orcs are close and its times like that my dear, when you have to be extra careful.
"That's a handy trick." Hephaestus said as she began to think of ways of incorporating such a warning into future weapons.
Here's a pretty thing. (She lifts a shiny metallic shirt from her bed and holds it up for Lillie to see) Mithril! (She holds it in front of Lillie and shakes it) as light as a feather and as hard as dragon scales. Let me see you put it on, go on.
"Ah mithril you'll have a hard time matching its beauty as a smith. Tsubaki remarked at seeing the rare material.
Lillie begins to unbutton her shirt revealing the Ring around her neck. Mia spots it and takes a breath. Lillie suddenly notices Mia staring at it
"Oh no." Mia said fearing at what may happen.
Mia:(pointing at the Ring) My, my old ring. Well I should... very much like to hold it again, one last time.
Lillie begins to button her shirt back up again. Suddenly Mia, looking wild, makes a swift grab for it.
"AHHH!!!" Anya and Chloe scream. Ryu, Syr and Freya quickly put their hands over their mouths to cover the scream that was about to escape from them.
"T-t-that was NOT natural." Hestia said as she had her hand on her chest.
Mikoto and Haruhime buried themselves into Bells arms as they shrike and closed their eyes at such a sudden site.
"The tails of the two werewolves were stiff. Their instincts telling them to fight.
Filvis quickly put her right arm over Filvis who screamed and turned her head.
Everyone else reacted in various ways, but the gods knew that was something unnatural and...evil.
Lillie jumps back looking shocked. Mia falls back with her hand to her head looking distraught and ashamed.
Mia: I'm sorry I brought this upon you my dear (tearfully) I'm sorry that you must carry this burden (she slumps down on her bed and starts to cry). I'm sorry for everything
Haruhime, and Chigusa couldn't help but look to the side. Feeling great remorse for her.
Mia just gripped the handles of her seat.
"Hestia also felt a great since of pity for her.
Lillie walks over to her and puts her hand on her shoulder. Mia holds Lillie's hand.

Elrond is speaking outside in Rivendell
ELROND: The Ringbearer is setting out on the quest for Mount Doom and you who travel with her, (the fellowship is standing in front of him) no oath nor bond is laid to go further than you will
(Bell smiles at Lefiya who drops her head) Farewell. Hold to your purpose and may the blessings of elves (looking at Legolas), and men (looking at Boromir), and all free folk (looking at Gareth) go with you. (he raises his hand and gestures for them to leave)
GANDALF: The Fellowship awaits the Ringbearer.
Lillie looks nervously around and turns to walk through the arches.
Lillie: Mordor, Gandalf, is it left or right ?
GANDALF:(places a hand on her shoulder) Left.
Lillie leads out, Gandalf, Gareth, Boromir, Anya , Chloe, Legolas, Finn... Bell pauses and looks back at Lefiya. They exchange a long glance. Bell smiles, nods his head, and follows the others. Lefiya swallows and bows her head.
The Fellowship leaves Rivendell.
And here's the third chapter. A day late but meh that's life.
Now As originally planned Lefiya plays Arwen in this story. I was given ideas for Welf to be Boromir but I can't do him like that. Originally Ryu was going to play Legolas and I asked and said Filvis to throw you off on who's Arwen would be replaced with. But I did give serious thought about Filvis playing Legolas. Mainly just so she could have a heroic roll, and have a story featuring her as a good gal (it's sad she's Ein and she's with that sorry POS.) but I decided that if I should do the Hobbit series leaving Legolas alone would be better in the long run.
And with the introduction of Lefiya and Gareth we've met everyone in the Fellowship!
I'm sure you can guess who's going to appear in the two towers.
Enjoy the read. I'm not sure when the next chapter will be posted yet and I'll have to figure out where's a good stopping point.
After their encounter with the nameless thing? (Aka the kraken squid thing. The nameless things are underrated in LOTR) but than if I were too stop there, there wouldn't be much in the next chapter if I were to stop with Gandalf falling into the chasm.
If I stop the next chapter at the end of Gandalf's encounter than that would be the longest chapter? And only one or 2 left in the fellowship.
Ah. I'll figure it out.
Enjoy!! Total word count is 7'936 words
