The Council and Redhorn Pass

The next day, the Council of Elrond was held. Nesiara was sitting in the middle with John on her right and Elrond as her commander on the left. The children were standing behind Nesiara.

They could see that the chairs were filled with the allies of old when Elrond began his speech everything went as it should be when Boromir tried to go for the ring when a spear-tip stopped him.

Everything turned dark and a voice could be heard when Nesiara looks at Celine who just lifted her sword and the dark clouds left as the sun break through making the voice break what it wanted to say.

Elrond continued with the council as Celine returned to her position. The people were confused by Celine's power since she commanded the sun. Aragorn's identity was revealed by Legolas, and Boromir denied that Gondor needed a King.

Gimli then tried to destroy the ring with his ax only to find out that his ax got destroyed by the ring that was on the pedestal. Elrond then explained that the ring could only be destroyed in the flames of Mt. Doom.

Boromir then explained why it would be impossible when Legolas volunteers to bear the ring to destroy it when Gimli stands up protesting that he would rather die than see the ring in the hands of an Elf.

This went on for a while until Frodo stood up and volunteers to carry the ring but the people were too loud not letting him speak when Nesiara shouts, "Enough!"

She was louder than Sauron was before. Everyone went silent as she then says, "Frodo, tell them."

Frodo then says that he would carry the ring making Gandalf the first one to join him followed by Aragorn who kneeled in front of Frodo.

Legolas was next with Gimli and Boromir. Then Sam jumped out of some bush joining Frodo as well making John smile from seeing that.

But Sam wasn't the only one. Pippin and Merry jumped out behind some pillar and joined the group as well when John stood up and put a knee down while saying "My swords are all yours Frodo until we destroy the ring."

"As well as, my sword and shield," says Celine as she followed her father.

"My club will be quite helpful in this journey of yours," says Bran when Nora walked forwards.

"My sword will support you on your journey as well," says Nora when only one person remained as Nesiara took her spear out.

"My spear will be the first to meet the enemy so you won't have to worry about them," says Nesiara as she looked at the group and says, "This group should be known as the Fellowship of the Ring."

"As you wish, my Lady," says Elrond as he then turns to the group and says, "We will equip you properly for this quest. We already prepared for it some days before."

Elrond guides the Hobbits as they got equipped while the others were storing the provisions for the journey. Nesiara made some different Lembas that would still fill a person with a small bite of it but had more taste to it.

Once everyone was ready they were at the gates of Rivendell and Elrond says, "The Elven army will move the moment it is formed completely."

"Good, I trust you, Elrond. Also, let your daughter live her life a bit," says Nesiara as the group leaves Rivendell walking towards the Misty Mountains.

They begin their journey traveling up. John was reading a book surprising the newcomers of the group that he could read under those circumstances while the rest was adapted to seeing those things.

Fang was in his fluffy form sitting on John's shoulder with Jinx, Koltox, and Nyx. Frodo almost falls and Bran caught him.

"You need to be careful, Frodo. The mountain range is quite tricky one wrong step and you could die," says Bran as he helped Frodo on his feet again.

Nesiara was in the front leading them with Gandalf while Nora and John were in the rear keeping it clear. Bran and Celine were with the Hobbits in the middle with Legolas and Gimli while Aragorn was with Boromir in front of them.

They weren't really talking to each other while Boromir gave Frodo once in a while a glare because he was bearing the ring around his neck.

"Boromir, look forward or you might misstep," says Celine as Bran caught on and puts his left hand on his back and summons a stone in the path of Boromir.

Boromir stepped on the stone losing his footing and falls into the snow making the Hobbits laugh from seeing that. John and Nora catch up and see what happened as John lifts Boromir up while hitting the back of the head of his son.

"We need to work together here, not against each other. All free races depend on our success. Do you all understand," says John remembering them that they needed each other in this quest or they would fail miserably.

"We are sorry," says Pippin and Merry as the others also apologized.

"This group reminds me of the old group we were with," says Nora remembering the days of their journey on Gaia.

"Yes, but they had a common goal while this group doesn't for now. Gimli joined because he doesn't trust the Elves. Legolas has joined because he believes in this cause like Gandalf, Frodo, Sam, and Aragorn. Boromir is here to most likely steal the ring. And Merry and Pippin are here to have adventures," says John as he was observing everything.

"Cid only joined because of the Space Program, Yuffie because of the Materia, Red XIII to escape his duty in Cosmo Canyon, and Reeves to spy on us," says Nora listing their friends.

"*laughs* You are right but over the travel, they all came together to fight Sephiroth and save the world," says John as he looked at the group.

"Maybe this group will be the same at the end of our travel," says John realizing he was judging them too early.

They made camp in a safe place where a rock was protecting them from the wind as they ignited their campfire. Nesiara was looking at the sky and saw a storm coming.

"Should we disperse the storm?" asks John as Nesiara shakes her head.

"No, I want the enemy to think that we are strong but not the strongest being on the planet right now. We will use the path through the mountain if the weather gets worse," says Nesiara as she leaned against John.

John lifts his right arm to pull her nearer as they sat together in the snow looking at the stars before going to sleep when they woke up.

They left the tent and find some wolf-like creatures surround their camp as Legolas wanted to shoot when John stopped him.

John walked towards the pack showing no fear when Legolas says, "He is going to kill himself. Wargs are no joke."

Legolas was ready to shoot but Nesiara now stopped him saying, "Let him. He developed an interest in beasts after getting Thor."

"Thor?" asks Gandalf as he never saw Thor.

"Thor is a giant modified Behemoth that could rip a man apart easily," says Nora as she has played with Thor before making the group imagine a beast like a Warg and not something bigger and stronger.

John was near enough as he looked at the Wargs and stretches his hand out towards them. The Wargs could feel that John wasn't scared of them as some other people in the group.

John then felt the Alpha of the Wargs smell his hand when the head of the Alpha was under his hand wanted to be petted.

John pets it as he throws the Alpha to it's back and begins to pet the belly of the Alpha while asking, "Who is a good boy?"

The group was surprised to see that when Nora says, "If Kieron was around it would have been faster, don't you think so."

"Yes, Kieron inherited your father's and Logan's talent with animals. He could tame anything quite fast," says Nesiara remembering how fast and easily he caught his Chocobo that came literally towards him as if they were old friends.

"Who is Kieron?" asks Legolas as he was curious after hearing that Kieron could tame any beast he wanted.

"My younger twin brother, Kieron Crownguard. He stayed behind in another world with my older sister since both married their love," says Nora as Gandalf looked at Nesiara surprised.

"You had twins twice in a row. That is quite a blessing," says Gandalf as Nesiara smiles.

"It is but we take what we get," say Nesiara looking at the younger twins before saying, "At least the older twins didn't fight as much as those two."

John then disappeared from where he was surprising everyone as the Wargs were also not there when Nesiara says, "We should go to sleep. John will be back by tomorrow morning."

The next day they continued on their path as the storm was too near as John and Nora were redirecting the Lightning so the group was not hit by them.

"We will need to go into the Mountain, it seems," says Gandalf holding his hat as he looked at Gimli.

"I know an entrance we might be lucky and find a friend on our way," says Gimli as he began to lead now.

They find an entrance and enter it as Nesiara, John, and Bran used Candlelight illuminating their way when John asks, "Where are we?"

"We are in Moria. I really have a bad feeling about staying here," says Legolas as Gimli looked at him.

"Like every other Elf. Just pick your balls up and follow me. Maybe we find Balin and his company," says Gimli as Gandalf smiles since the Longbeard Balin was a friend of his.
