Fellowship Guardians

Chapter 4: The Council of Elrond

(AN: This is going to be a long chapter as there is quite a bit going on here. Hopefully, other chapters won't be as long)

After settling in, Yeona, Lay, and Chanyeol started to catch each other up with what they had learned. Yeona informed the two about those wraiths that had attacked the Hobbits and what was going on in better detail than the little they had been given before arriving in Middle Earth. Lay also told her how he helped with healing Frodo, though he did most of it being the Guardian of healing. Knowing that Elrond had sent invitations for a council, which they as well as any of the others if they somehow arrived in Rivendell, were invited to, the three somewhat patiently; Chanyeol found himself bored most of the time without the other members of the beagle line, waited until the other guests would arrive. 

During their stay, the two who had not been there for long began to take the scenery in more, and both could admit it was more eye-catching than some places that they've seen while traveling back home. When it was dinner, they had it in a courtyard, lounging around a table piled up with fruits, vegetables, and bread, but no meat much to the three guardians' dismay; them being wolves. The food tasted okay and not that different from home, except that everything seemed a lot fresher and more delicious in this world. The fruits were juicy, and the bread was still hot from the oven. There was also a thick broth of vegetables that tasted quite good. 

Chanyeol being one of the members who loved his meat, occasionally would pick at the fruits. "Is everything okay?" Arwen asked the guardian of fire who looked up at her and nodded. "Yeah, this is the most either of us ate fruits and such," he answered and she, as well as some other elves who understood, looked confused. "The three of us are wolves, most of what we eat is meat but we do eat fruits and vegetables," the pink-haired young man answered causing the elf to nod. After dinner, the three, with some permission from Lord Elrond, were allowed to hunt.

Five days later, Frodo finally woke up, quickly heading on the right path to healing though with rumors going around about the hobbit's wound never heal, Lay did confirm that this was true. He may be the guardian of healing but even certain wounds won't always heal, depending on how someone got the wound, unless he got an extra power boost from the Tree of Life but that wasn't going to happen. Lay had been going to check on Frodo when he heard voices speaking and noticed the door was open. 

"Sam has hardly left your side since his arrival," the voice of Gandalf said.

"We were that worried about you weren't we Mr. Gandalf," Sam said, and by this point, Lay had entered the room.

"By the skills of Lord Elrond, you're beginning to mend," Gandalf said and, Lay noticed Elrond in the room as well, giving the older individual a slight bow of his head in greeting.

"Welcome to Rivendell, Frodo Baggins. Though I must say I cannot take all the credit for your healing. If not for Lay here, you probably wouldn't have survived and his friend Chanyeol escorted you and you never would have made it here," the dark-haired elf replied and looked over to the handsome young man who could've been mistaken for an elf.

"Thank you, all of you," Frodo said, to which Lay and Elrond replied with a slight bow of the head.  

Lay slipped out of the room after doing a checkup on Frodo, he was mending quite well, and let Sam, Frodo, and Gandalf catch up, soon finding himself with his fellow guardians in the courtyard. A few days passed and Yeona and Lay were entertaining themselves with dancing, which also fascinated the residents of Rivendell, mesmerized by how effortlessly their bodies moved.

They stopped however when a man rode into Rivendell on a brown horse. He had brownish reddish hair about the length of Strider's and some stubble that might grow into a beard someday, though more so than Strider. He had an air of confidence and had a round shield on his back and sword at his side, and looked confident despite looking a bit travel weary. "Hmm seems the guest are arriving for the council," Yeona mused to herself, watching as the man was greeted how the way they'd all been greeted by the elves.
