Adanak was quietly listening in on the 'secret' Council. Not so secret when it's in the middle of Rivendell, in broad daylight. "I will take the Ring to Mordor!" The Halfling present shouted over the arguing council members. The whole council quieted and turned do him. "Though, I do not know the way." He said. Then Gandalf approached him. "I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear." The Wizard said. "By my life or death, I can protect you. And I will." Aragorn said, then knelt in front of Frodo. "You have my sword." He said. "And you have my bow." Legolas said. "And my axe." Gimli said. Then Boromir of Gondor came forth. "You carry the fate of us all, little one. If this is indeed the Ewell of the Council, then Gondor will see it done." He said. "HEY!" A voice yelled form the bushes. Another Halfling emerged. "Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me." He said. "How indeed it is impossible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not." Elrond said. "OI! We're coming too!" Yet another spying Halfling- no, two Halflings- emerged form hiding. Elrond whirled around towards the voice. "You'd have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us!" One said. "Anyway, you need people of intelligence on this sort of... mission...quest...thing!" The other said. "Well that rules you out, Pip." The other one said. "Nine companions..." Elrond said.

(I think you peeps can see where I'm taking this.)

"Ten companions." Adanak said as he emerged from his hiding place. "So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring." Elrond said.
