The New Ring of Doom!!

[Aewionen]

With a groan, Nienna awoke and began to open her eyes. Though her sight was a blur, she could make out two figures. One of them was Suliarid and the other was the one that had kiddnapped her. With her head pounding even worse than before, she cautiously sat up, hoping they would not notice her. Suliarid and his companion did not notice her and continued to talk. "He is dead than?" the man spoke, "Yes, my lord. He is." Suliarid answered. A cold laugh came from the man's mouth. "Good...very good. Have you collected any of the rings?" After about a minute of silence, Suliarid said, "N...no. Not yet." The man's face became full of anger, "Find them! Now!" Nienna's head pounded at the sound of the shout which made her groan. They both turned to look at her. "How long have you been listening?" Suliarid questioned. "Long enough." she replied quietly. The man motioned Suliarid to go and once he had left, he said. "I supose you wish to know my name? Very well," he said not giving her enough time to answer, "I am Rannyn. Not heard of me have you? Good." Nienna tried to say something but her head hurt to much. Rannyn approached her and said something that she didn't catch. Slowly, and painfully, Nienna drifted off to sleep.

"So, the King was assassinated. I don't know what I can do to help, but I will do so any way I can."
On an impulse, she put her bow down on the ground, and held out an arrow. "My bow is yours, Queen of Mirkwood."

[Gulio, Strength of Many]

"As is my axe," Rorin said, bowing in Dwarf-fashion. He had been rather forgotten, the elves tend to easily forget people that aren't eye level. Nevertheless, he wished to help the new Queen of Mirkwood.

[Legoles]

"And my sword." taking a swift graceful bow she turned and went back to the shadows of the council room.
Very Lord of the ringish isnt it?

[Lady Arwen56]

I smiled. "Thank you. Does anyone else wish to join, or shall it only be us four?"

[Lady Arwen56]

ooc: Yes Legoles, That was more or less the point.
grr...you were right, by the way Legoles. 90 second rules suck!! lol.

[PippinTook]

Elanor lay in a field of flowers in the south farthing. "elanor!" Sam cried from the garden at thier modest hobbit hole. She laid her book down and climbed upon her pony, Bill. She cantered past the Green Dragon and down the hill to her home. She tied Bill's reins to the fence post and walked into her garden. "Elanor, I need some help with the potatoes." Sam said giving her a watering can. "Father, I've been thinking of going to Rivendell." SShe said setting the pail down. "Only for a visit, I would love to see the elves." She said wistfully dreaming of the elf maidens and Lords. Sam put his old hand on her shoulder, "That would be wonderful," He said. She embraced him, "Thank you Father!" She said. They stood up and walked into the hobbit hole to pack her things.

ooc: you have to give me a sec, i'm still in the shire! i'll hop right over to mirkwood in a flash

Elanor packed Bill and went on her way. She stopped at the old forest, 'Well here we go,' she thought to herself. She traveled 3 nights to bree and Stayed at the prancing pony, like her father. She wondered if she would run into Master Aragorm, Pippin's son at Rivendell. They were childhood friends, but he had ventured to rivendell a year ago. She Finally arrived in Rivendell and was accepted with hospitality.
ooc: i am trying to get there, so help me out! come to rivendell or something!

[PippinTook]

ooc:yall got to wait for the hobbit!!! we need hobbits!


elanor woke the next morning in her room to find her friend Aragorn Took by her bed. "Aragorn!! I haven't seen you for a year!" She said hopping out of bed only to realize she still had her bed clothes on. Horibbly embarresed, she jumps under the covers and hides her blushed face. Aragorn just laughs. "You haven't changed Elanor!" He said standing up out of his chair. They sat and talked about the goings on of the shire and of Rivendell. "Lord Elrond is holding a small meeting about the tragety in MirkWood this evening, and he has invited you also." He said as he left her room. She sat wondering, 'Why would he want me to go to the council?'

[Kalile]

At the council, all faces were grave. After long speeches and customary doodah, Elrond spoke.

"I have called this council to discuss and inform about the tragedy that has befallen our kin. Legolas Greenleaf, King of Mirkwood, has been murdered."
A shocked murmer swept the room at this annoucement, dying away as Elrond continued.
"To help the new Queen of Mirkwood, I have elected to send a sizeable party of our elves to lend aid where they can. All who volunteer will be allowed to go, and will be provided with whatever they may need."

The talk turned to other matters, mainly on the assassination of the King, and what had been done about it, and what should be done, but soon the elves were on their way.

Ooc: It's as good a way as any to get to Mirkwood!

[PippinTook]

elanor was having a hard time understanding all the things they were talking about, but in the end, she knew what she wanted to do. The group of elves that were going stood and were about to leave when,
"I believe that a hobbit should also be sent on this quest!" She said standing up in front of all the eyes of the council. Feeling rather nervous she spoke, "My father was a good friend of Lord Legolas, and I would like to avenge his murder, on behalf of the shire." She said walking to the fellowship awaiting Elrond's aprooval.

[Legoles]

Meanwhile.....in Mirkwood.
"I belive that Lord Elrond is sending us a party of elves." Everyone looked at her in astonishment.
"How did you know this?" asked a tall male elf.
"I have the ability to read minds. Runs in my family."

[PippinTook]

The elves and hobbit set forth from Rivendell. Elanor was forced to leave Bill in RivenDell because Elrond didn't believe that he would keep up with the fast elven horses. She sat uncomfotably on the hind end of Kalilae's horse. She sat and thought about the shire and her father when they camp to an abrutp stop.

ooc: ok guys, make it good

[Legoles]

Gladeiel ran out and saw the party. "See, I was right!" She then ran and greeted many different elves of different orgin and size, her gaze lingering over a particuarly short elf, then realized it's a hobbit."Hello Elanor, a long time passes since I last saw you."

[PippinTook]

"hello!" She said reaching up to shake her hand. She looks around and sees many elves. One elf maiden, a princess, seemed extremely sad. That must be Kirra, Legolas' daughter. She made her way toward Kirra, "I'm sorry, Lady Kirra, I hope I can be of some help to you." She said bowing low.

[Legoles]

Gladeiel walked over to Elanor. She bent down and whispered to her "Elanor, please never tell Kirri my secret."

[PippinTook]

elanor pulls Gladiel down to her level, "Its safe with me, friend!" Elanor walks with Gladiel and tells her the goings on of the Shire.

ooc: hey how do i know Gladiel?

[Kalile]

Don't worry about it. Gladiel knows or is related to everyone.

[PippinTook]

Elanor walked and talked with the elves, which was exremely hard because she had to yell and practically run, but she made do. "So, when do we have eleventies around here, because it is clearly half past eleven o' clock." She said, half expecting a laden table to appear by some elf magic. They were clearly not going to eat anytime soon. One pitiful elf slipped her a wafer of lembas bread. 'A cracker? They have got to be kidding me!"

[Lady Arwen56]

A group of elves, and a hobbit arrived just as our meeting ended. Gladiel had already predicted they would come though.

ooc: We have some hobbits, my friend Adrian Baggins is a girl named Sandy, and then there is her two brothers. But nevertheless, we could always use more short ppl. lol j/k. I like hobbits. Their cool. Awinionen, we need to let you contact us somehow, got any ideas???

ic: Everyone began talking, some laughing after finding their friends that they hadn't seen in years, others beggining to cry about my father. I couldn't take all this noise.
I suddenly shouted "Stop!" And took off into the woods. Everyone stared at me, until I had disappeared into the thick of the trees.

I tripped on the outstretched limb of a tree, and fell to my knees, tears rushing down my cheeks. "Why?" She said outloud. "Why father? Why'd you have to leave me! I mean, I'm not cut out to be the Queen of Mirkwood!!" I put my head in my hands, and cried until nightfall, and even then, I didn't move from my spot.
