(Y/n) ignored the man from Gondor, as she took her seat at the Council. The princess choosing to take a place between Gandalf and poor Frodo, instead of sitting with her uncle Legolas and the other elves, or Gimli, Glóin and the other dwarves; for given that she had promised Bilbo that she would watch over him, it seemed the right thing to do. The princess smiling softly at the little hobbit, as he pushed his hand into hers; (Y/n) giving it a reassuring squeeze, until Lord Elrond began to speak.

"Strangers from distant lands, friends of old. You have been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor." Lord Elrond announced, as he looked around those that had journeyed to the elven realm. Men, elf and dwarf, along with a very little hobbit and a princess of two worlds, sitting and listening to the words of the high elf.

"Middle-Earth stands on 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. Bring forth the Ring, Frodo." The peredhel continued, before turning his attention to the hobbit; gesturing for him to place the ring on the stone plinth before him. Frodo reluctantly letting (Y/n)'s hand go, before slowly getting to his feet and moving into the centre of the circle, placing the seemingly innocuous band of gold on the stone.

"So, it is true." Boromir said. His eyes lingering on the Ring, as Frodo retook his seat at her side, and let out a sigh. (Y/n) and the others looking up, as the son of Gondor got to his feet.

"In a dream. I saw the eastern sky grow dark; but in the west, a pale light lingered." Boromir began, as he slowly took steps towards the stone pedestal.

"A voice is crying, 'your doom is near at hand. Isildur's bane is found.'" The High Warden of the White Tower continued. (Y/n) feeling her hand grip tightly at the chair beneath her, as he slowly reached out.

"Isildur's bane..............." The last words that the man spoke before Elrond quickly got to his feet and called out his name. (Y/n)'s head beginning to pain her, as Gandalf began to speak lowly in a tongue that she could not understand. Boromir backing away; the sky growing dark and the ground around them shaking, as the words continued to spill from the wizard's lips. The princess not blind to the fact that whatever the old Maia was saying, it was having the same effect on her elven kin as it was her.

"Never before has any voice uttered the words of that tongue in Imladris....." The elven lord said, as he looked at the grey man.

"I do not ask your pardon, Master Elrond......." Gandalf replied, as the peredhel retook his seat.

"For the black speech of Mordor, may yet be heard in every corner of the west. The Ring is altogether, evil.............." The Maia continued, as he looked at all those present, his eyes falling on (Y/n) and Frodo, before he sat back next to them.

"But surely it is a gift ... a gift to the foes of Mordor!" Boromir began again, as once more got to his feet. Gandalf and the others turning to look at him. It seeming as if he had not heard a word that had just been said. As if he were under an enchantment.

"Why not use this Ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, kept the forces of Mordor at bay. By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy. Let us use it against him........!"

"You cannot wield it.........." Another voice came. The princess looking over to the Ranger that her uncle Legolas had introduced her to, the night before.

"None of us can........... The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master......"

"What would a Ranger know, of this matter?" Boromir asked with disdain, as he looked at the dark-haired Ranger. (Y/n) slightly taken aback, as Legolas got to his feet and spoke.
