And the time for the council came. I went alone without having any lord come and waje me up like the previous time . Because of that I almost forgot what day the council was and I would be sleeping if Sanya didn't wake me up.

Fortunately she has two spare functioning braincells so she can think for me when my mind is offline.

I dressed up as quickly as a could and run to the other camp. It was everyone there already.

Inside the big tent of Fingolfin's

"We gathered here again for a council to discuss some matters that have to be discussed. It has about our allies and region. First ,you can sit." Fingolfin said and gave us a sign with his hand. And when everyone sat he rested in his own chair.

"For a long time we've been here in our camps gaising the stars and the moon. But the Evil behind the mountains is still there watching and making plans to destroy us. So we have to gain new lands expanding our territory and spread around him make fortresses . We can't let Morgoth win by standing still without taking action. If we stay longr here he'll surely attack again. And the next time he'll give him full force there. Our hunters have made a brief map from wgat they've seen behind the mountains and with the information of local they met. "Fingolfin continued and placed a map in the middle of the table.

"We know that Teleri live in the coast gathered in a great Harbour in a place named Eglärest. Other elves of their kind are scattered in the continent. But there's another place where the most of then live . The kingdom of Doriath in woods and surrounded by rivers . We must make first an alliance with the people here before start expanding our tetitory south and east." He said and pointed at these places so everyone can see.

"In few words I want to send some messengers to each kingdom as representatives to build alliances with our houses so we can continue and go even further to see what exists and want we can claim as new land. I want them to be one of you ."

I definitely wanted to go to Doriath. I knew i wasn't from the family and i handled no dignity or that much of respect to accept me. But I had to go at least as a servant.

I had to know why. Although i didn't want to raise my hand first ,it might seemed rude to others from me to make the first move.

Instead of me Galadriel raised her hand. I didn't expect this to tell the truth nor the book mentioned something like that.

Fingolfin shook his head as a sing that his giving her permission to speak freely.

"I would like to go south as a messenger of our clan,my King. In my opinion someone with Teleri blood should go to the Kingdom of the Forest . The locals said their region is protected with a magix spell only his people can pass so sending someone complitely different to them then they may not let us enter."

"Why we should send someone with Teleri blod? We supposedto be the same kind all the elves. If he can't accept that is not our problem. I think one of our family must go as a messenger . We must send a ruler not a girl to cooperate with them." Celegorm said crossing his arms without even asking for permission first.

Galadriel gazed at him for a moment in silence. If i was him i wouldn't do that. Going against Galadriel is like trying to grab a sword with bare hands. It dangerous to speak without thinking especially when the person you're referring to is right in frond of you.

"Don't forget what we've done in the past can't be erased. If their eyes see far thell see the blood in our hands. the spell protect their land is held by a Maia who stands higher that the elves here and there. I agree we must send someone from house Finarfin to them is the wiser choise."

"I can't understand why we depend on their help. The silvan elves hold no power in war they live in the forests or by the sea like animals and speak differently. Why we want their help? We stand higher than them!" Cananthir said in a surprisingly calm tone.(for him)(without permission too as a classic jerk he is )

"You seem not heard what i said before. Allies are important to expant our Kingdom and secure it. Is stupid to throw his opportunity before we even try. We came to their land and we must ask for permission not to wait for them to accept it while take their land."Fingolfin responded.

"I think one of each house must go to them. " Maedhros said.

"Maybe this way could be better for everyone...But in still not sure... Who should go?" Fingolfin asked him.

"Fingon, Finrod and I. My King , I think thats the better option."

"The heads of the three houses. It could agree if the journey wasn't so long. It may take a whole month and more and I need you to deside with me for some cases here. Plus Morgoths eyes are everywere. Out there in the wild three high lords wandering around would be his first target to eliminate if he finds out. Not that any of you is less important... But the barkness that covers the future doesn't let me see further..."

"You dont accept it father?" Fingon questioned.

"Who will go to Doriath from our house?" Turgon asked.

"I thought you Turgon had to go Doriath instead of Fingon ,as Maedhros suggested . I think is wiser to go the Havens in the West. I'm not sure if..."

"If Galadriel goes I'll go with her father!" Aredhel told standing tall and raised her hand.

Fingolfin stared at her for a moment.

"I want to go too!As a representative of House Feanor!" I said raising my hand trying to speak clear and loud to cover my stress.

"Tsk. Why we should send girls?" Celegorm murmured smirking.

"We want too!" The twins said with one voice .

"No you'll not going anywhere you two. You're too young" Maedhros cut them and then looked at me raising an eyebrow.

The two readheads bowed their heads and sat back silent.

"If my sister goes I'll go with her" Angrod interupted the tension of the monent.

"I don'tont go against Galadriel's or Aredhel's will but Alex will not go anywhere. I'll take her place instead. " Maedhros said taking the lead of the conversation again.

"No brother I'll take her place! you have to stay here as the head of the house!" Maglor told looking at Maedhros annoyed.

They were fighting over for my place?!

"You cant send a trait-" Caranthir started but Fingolfin cleared his throat intensely to make him shut up.

He gave a sign with his hand to everyone stay silent.

"That's enough offers. I'll deside who will go to Doriath. " He told looking serious as he never looked before.

Silence.

"My daughter can go along with her cousin Galadriel and her brother Angrod even I'm consered about their safety them. I accept Alex also as representative of House Feanor. Lord Maedhros will stay here but he can give her any lord of his house as a servant for her journey to accompany her ,not a brother, as I'll give to my daughter too."

"My King is it safe for a human..?"Maedhros murmured.

"I spoke"

"Of course my king" he said and bowed.

He was still annoyed along with Maglor who looked extremely anxious.

Me standing exactly beside him was a torture : he tower three feet above me glaring at me occasionally with a death stare the last five minutes after I desided to raise my hand.

"Turgon will go along with Aegnor to the Harbour. For the sons of Feanor I think is fitter go further to explore if they want to in the wild after the great forest ,where the silvans elves say others creatures live."

"So you forbid us to go as messengers to make deals. Us the greatest of lords and send us as mere hunters into the wild to find what? We have every right to go either to Harbour or the Forest to make deals" Celegorm said. He was more hotheaded than other times. Caranthir was unexpectedly quiet beside him but his eyes said it all."Don't dare send a mere human instead of us"

"I thought it was better this way. Nonetheless I need you the great lords to stay here to help with other problems ,as i already said , which need more complicated desisions. And of course if you wish to explore the new regions to expand our tetitory after youre free to fo so. It's your choice to leave or stay. But you'll not go either to the Harbour or the Forest."

"Like i wanted to go with them to this stupid forest" Celegorm murmured.

"If anyone else have something totell it now. Or I'll quit the council" Fingolfin announced.

Nobody spoke against the king.

"The messengers will leave at two days"

And that's how the council ended.
