I don't know how to make the connection about being the servant of the secret fire,(although I know I've read something about it somewhere..) but here's the quote some people are looking for.

Quote:
Now all these things were achieved for the most part by the counsel and vigilance of Mithrandir(Gandalf), and in the last few days he was revealed as a lord of great reverence, and clad in white he rode into battle; but not until the time came for him to depart was it know that he had long guarded the Red Ring of Fire. At the first that Ring had been entrusted to Cirdan, Lord of the Havens; but he had surrendered it to Mithrandir, for he knew whence he came and whither at last he would return.
'Take now this Ring,' he said; 'for thy labours and thy cares will be heavy, but in all it will support thee and defend thee from weariness. For this is the Ring of Fire, and herewith, maybe, thou shalt rekindle hearts to the valour of old in a world that grows chill. But as for me, my hear is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores, guarding the Havens until the last ship sails. Then I shall await thee.'
~Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age from the Silmarillion.

Quote:
There was Gildor and many fair Elven folk; and there to Sam's wonder rode Elrond and Galadriel. Elrond wore a mantle of grey and had a star upon his forehead, and a silver harp was in his hand, and upon his finger was a ring of gold with a great blue stone, Vilya, mightiest of the Three. But Galadriel sat upon a white palfrey and was robed all in glimmering white, like clouds about the Moon; for she herself seemed to shine with a soft light. On her finger was Nenya, the ring wrought of mithril, that bore a single white stone flickering like a frosty star.

......As he turned and came towards them Frodo saw that Gandalf now wore openly on his hand the Third Ring, Marya the Great, and the stone upon it was red as fire.
~The Grey Havens from the Return of the King

Maybe somebody else can answer the question about the Flame of Arnor.
