"I need help to get back home to my country. I was hoping to find a few here who would journey with me. It won't be long until a new war will begin, I feel it in my heart." Elemmire looked at the two and wondered if they would help her. Her fate was connected to the ring, like so many others. The sky began to darken and the stars to glow.

"I will!" said Haerodiel quikly jumping up. She blushed and sat back down. "Sorry, but this was the moment I was waiting for, the whole reason I came to meet you. Yes, I will come with you. I have longed for many years to go on some sort of journey outside of Rivendell. If there is anything I can do to help, I will. In the mean time," she said standing up again. "I will go see when Elrond is free," and she left to go find Elrond.

“You know that my sword is yours” Walsingham said with a bow. “I shall go and see if I can find a wet-stone and some oil. I have not tasted battle for some time. I would of course prefer not to have to use it unnecessarily but tis’ better to be ready than not…”

As Haerodiel walked she thought with awe about Walsingham and Elemmire's tales. Her thoughts wandered all over, from the forest of Mirkwood and Walsingham, to Harad, poor lost Harad, and Elemmire. She couldn't imagain how Elemmire must feel. Just then, she realized that she was going the wrong way if she was going to Elrond. As she turned around, so did her thoughts; she began thinking about what journeys she might have. The one place she longed to see most was Lothlorien...

"This is wonderful," thought Elemmire. "I will not be alone on the journey home! If only I could find 2 more people to accompany me." The next day Elemmire went to council with Elrond. She was surprised to see who was there...

The formality of the event would not allow Walsingham to wink at Elemmire after seeing the surprise on her face, but with the slightest of smiles, he contemplated the idea. After yet another amazing breakfast, he had arrived at the council, this time with his sword slung over his shoulder. He also wore a distinctive necklace of a barbed hook calved from crystalline green stone. He sat 2 chairs away from Elrond within the circle.

Haerodiel came into the counsil with the many other people, not looking up at anyone. She had a hood over her face, so that no one could see who she was, for she had not been invited to the counsil. The reason was obvious: she had no experience in the wild, and if there was to be a journey, she must choose herself intsead of expecting to be chosen. She sat down in the shadiest part of the circle, and hoping that she was not noticed. Only now did she dare to look up to see who else was there. Was that Mithrendir? She couldn't tell; she had to put her head back down so no one would see her. She heard Elrond start talking. "Strangers from distant lands..."

The day was Unusually dark. It seemed the stars should shine at any moment. Elemmire made her way to the council, all the time a thought was in her head, "the war will start soon. I feel it in my heart."
Elemmire saw that Walsingham was at the council. She saw also Haerodiel, though she wasn't quite sure it was her. Elemmire quickly took a seat next to Elrond. He bagan to speak, "Strangers from distant lands, friends of old. We have amoungst us a child of Eru in dire need. She has traveled aimlessly for centuries and has finally come to us for help."
Elemmire stood and told her story, "... And now I will go back to my country and begin to set things right. But I need assistance in my journey. The road is long and full of dangers..."

(Once again, Goblinglow, I'm sorry I'm writing so much about our little side story and giving you so little chance to do so. If you want me to change or add anything, PM me. I'm glad to do it. I just want us to get caught up with everyone else!)
That morning, Halaheru and Lomadia were to be found among the shelves of Rivendell's great library. Halaheru was seated at a long table, poring over aged manuscripts describing weaponry of various peoples. Lomadia was nearby, reclined on a couch with a small book of lore and song. The distant sound of waterfalls lent a peaceful air to the scene. The two maidens had spent much of the previous night in the same manner, Halaheru intently perusing anything that might help her identify the unusual stone, and Lomadia reading over histories or tales. Warfare and all that had to do with it held little interest for her. Suddenly, Halaheru let out a loud gasp. Lomadia looked up. "You have found it?" "Yes," answered Halaheru excitedly. "I must go to the Lord Elrond at once." "I fear he is at council at present," said Lomadia, setting down her book. "It is something important I gather, though I know not exactly what the matter is." Halaheru stood and started towards the passageway. Lomadia stood and followed her. "Halaheru, my friend. You cannot disturb him now." "No, the council will find interest in this. I must speak with him." The two Elves continued to the porch where Elrond held council. There was a great number of people there, and they were all intently listening to the stranger whom Lomadia had greeted the evening before. She was telling the council of her homeland to the south. Some darkness had fallen over it, she explained, and she had need of aid to set things to right. The Elf finished her story, and stood looking at the auditors, awaiting their response.

((Not at all. What you put is fine with me. ^-^))
Halaheru gave a quick glance at Lomadia, waiting for the right time to jump in. She stroked her finger over the stone. She remembered in the book, it was called Awellivus. Halaheru held the stone tight just as someone finished speaking. She seized the chance; quickly and quietly she walked up to the Elf-lord and gave a small bow. "My Lord," she said, "there is something I believe you ought to know..."

Haerodiel listened intently to Elemmire's tale told in full. She was very excited, and very nervous as well. But that could be expected; this was her first counsil, and she wan't even invited. Just then, another elf came walking in. Thought this was her first counsil, she could tell that barging into a private counsil was neither common nor considered proper. She must have something very important for her to do that. Either that, or counsils were indead very new to her.

Elemmire was shocked to see this elf appear out of no where. SHe had almost pulled her dagger out in defence, because she had to defend herself for so many years. She was releaved to see it was just an elf maiden. "What could be the trouble that it could not wait until after the council" thought Elemmire to herself...

"Forgive me," she bowed her head at Elrond, then met his gaze with clouded eyes. "My Lord, something dangerous has been discovered." She held the stone for him to see and explained, "I was in the study researching strange crafts of this world, and I came upon a description of this stone. You see," she hurried, receiving impatient stares, "this stone has the capability to plunge it's captive under the rule of Him, or worse. What I mean to say is that this stone has the power to ensnare Elf or Man. Fatally."
She finished.

Elemmire looked into the eyes of this elf with shock as she sat down. The rest of the council was in an uproar. Elrond spoke, " Come my child, speak clearly to me. Be calm and start again, explaining yourself." The council waited for her explanation...

She nodded and took a slow breath. "I came here a short while ago," she started, "and I showed Lomadia the stone. I asked her if it was agreeable that I went to look in the study, so she took me there, and it was a good while before I came to a book of strange stones and such, much more, a stone that resembled the one I am speaking of. "Well, I read the entire page, word for word, and if I understand this correctly, the stone has the capability to enslave Elf or Man under the influence of the Dark Lord, if not Him, then surely some prescence of darkness. I found not where it was made, how, or by whom."
She shook her head.
