Another silly fic!

I’m not a writer, English is not my first language and the fic is also unbetaed, so... Sorry! :D

Chapter Text

Everyone was shouting and fighting with each other. In the absolute chaos a small voice was heard: “I will take it! I will take the ring to Mordor.”

The Council went silent at that, and everyone looked at Frodo, who continued: “Though, I do not know the way.”

“I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Beggins,” said Gandalf, coming closer to him: “As long as it is yours to bear.”

Aragorn too approached the hobbit: “If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. You have my sword.”

“And you have my bow.”

“And my axe.”
