Summary
During a closeted meeting, Elrond discusses a fellowship candidate with Glorfindel.

‘Nay,’ said Glorfindel, leaning over the table. ‘An ill-choice. Over-proud and unaware of peril. The ring seems as a trifle, he knows not Power.’

‘Well do I know it.’ Elrond stood up, ‘And yet, he has a part to play.’

Shaking his head, Glorfindel said, ‘More a danger than aid.’ He stared to a faraway place and a dark memory. ‘Send me.’

Elrond smiled, ‘It is not for you to go through Fire again.’

Glorfindel paced. ‘Yet, will you not send at least one Elf, that Men know they stand not alone?’

‘Perhaps the tale may yet make itself up.’
