Chapter 10.
Chapter 10.
Elrond raised his voice and began.
“You are here to bind your lives and faer(souls) together, 'til the end of times and beyond. Your love has already bound you, but this ceremony will make the bond unbreakable, so that no Vala, no Elf, no Creature could ever drive you apart from each other. With your vows you will strengthen your union, and you become as one, so that there is no two fëar but one. It is the bond that cannot be unmade as long as all Eä exists.
You have found peace and happiness with each other, so that together you will be more than you ever could be alone. You will give each other all your life, strength and the deepest love of your hearts; from this moment throughout eternity.
Now, the time has come: Speak your vows."
Elrond looked at his sons, urging them to begin.
Together the twins raised their voices, and declared their devotion to their meleth.
“We love you more than life itself, and our home is in your heart, now and forever. In you we have found peace, happiness and love. To you we bind ourselves, willingly and with great joy. For you our souls are singing, for you and only you our hearts are beating. You are the only love of our lives, the other part of our souls, our beloved and cherished spouse from this moment throughout eternity. Every day we thank the Valar for you, for your love, for your very being. From this moment, you, Erestor O Imladris, belong to us and never will we turn away from you.”
Erestor shook to his very core when he heard the twins declaiming the binding vow, older than time itself. A little hesitantly, he met Elrond’s gaze. To his great joy, he saw only warmth and approval in those grey eyes, so similar to the twins’. When Erestor’s own turn came, he didn’t hesitate.
“I love you more than life itself, and my home is in your hearts, now and forever. In you I have found peace, happiness and love. To you I bind myself, willingly and with great joy. For you my soul is singing, for you and only you my heart is beating. You are the only love of my life, the other part of my soul, my beloved and cherished spouses from this moment throughout eternity. Every day I thank the Valar for you, for your love, for your very being. From this moment, you, Elladan and Elrohir O Imladris, belong to me and never will I turn away from you.”
Erestor had hardly finished his vow, when he was pulled into the twin’s arms and they both kissed him passionately. Erestor blushed at first, when he heard people’s applauses but then smiled happily.
Glorfindel’s heart started to race when Elrond turned to him, and urged him to begin his vow. He looked straight into Melpomaen’s beautiful eyes, when he spoke his vow, meaning every word from the bottom of his heart.
“I love you more than life itself, and my home is in your heart, now and forever. In you I have found peace, happiness and love. To you I bind myself, willingly and with great joy. For you my soul is singing, for you and only you my heart is beating. You are the only love of my life, the other part of my soul, my beloved and cherished spouse from this moment throughout eternity. Every day I thank the Valar for you, for your love, for your very being. From this moment, you, Melpomaen O Imladris, belong to me and never will I turn away from you.”
Melpomaen could only stare into Glorfindel’s eyes, which seemed to shine only for him. He trembled, thinking that this was everything he ever will want from life. Soon he would be bound to the elf he loved more than anything. Melpomaen’s voice was clear and tricked with pure happiness when he started his vow.
“I love you more than life itself, and my home is in your heart, now and forever. In you I have found peace, happiness and love. To you I bind myself, willingly and with great joy. For you my soul is singing, for you and only you my heart is beating. You are the only love of my life, the other part of my soul, my beloved and cherished spouse from this moment throughout eternity. Every day I thank the Valar for you, for your love, for your very being. From this moment, you, Glorfindel O Imladris, belong to me and never will I turn away from you.”
When Melpomaen finally stopped, Glorfindel kissed his new hervenn (husband), until sheer lack of air forced them apart. Both blushed, and turned to Elrond who only smiled and raised his voice once more.
"And so be it.
You have bound to each other, from this moment until the end of times and beyond. Love and cherish each other, and the Valar’s blessing will be with you forever."
Both couples turned around, receiving their friend’s applauses and congratulations. The twins hugged their ada, and thanked him.
“I’m happy for you, ionnath nín (my sons). Take care of each other.” Elrond smiled at his sons. The Lord then hugged his Chief councilor warmly, congratulating him, and welcoming him to their family.
“Thank you, Elrond. I’m so happy that you accepted me.” Erestor whispered, blushing slightly.
“Of course I accepted you. You are the only one who can reason with those rascals that are my ionnath (sons)… if you only want.” Elrond smirked. He wasn’t completely unaware of the fact, that Erestor had sometimes taken part in the twins’ mischief. Elrond didn’t mind, because he knew that Erestor loved his sons deeply, and had loved them from the day they were born.
Glorfindel heard Elrond’s words and chuckled. He should have been known better than under-estimate their Lord’s insight. Glorfindel’s smile widened, when he looked at Erestor’s stunned face. Oh aye… it was really rare to see Erestor losing his composure like this.
********************************************************************************************
The celebration was long and joyous. Very seldom had they so much reason to celebrate as now, when Imladris’ heirs and their beloved Captain Glorfindel were bound.
Glorfindel and Melpomaen left earlier, but the twins and Erestor still whirled on the dance floor, laughing and enjoying the celebration. Many had been surprised to see their Chief councilor so different than he usually was. He wasn’t cold and distant anymore, but young and joyous… and his love for his mates was obvious, for all to see.
********************************************************************************************
No one noticed when Imladris’ Lord crept furtively into the garden, to get some fresh air. Elrond searched for his ada with his gaze, and smiled when he saw a bright star in the night sky.
“I’m so glad that you are still able to see us, ada. You’ll like my sons' new mate. They will be happy with Erestor.”
Elrond stared at the star silently, hoping to someday meet his ada again. Then his thoughts turned to someone else, who also was lost to him, so long ago.
“I hope that you are happy now, Celebrian. You did the right thing when you wanted to dissolve our bond. I just hoped that I would have someone, someday…”
Tears blurred Elrond’s eyesight, as his loneliness overwhelmed him. His life was cold and empty. His sons' happiness made him all the more aware from his own loneliness. Was it really so, that he was doomed to live alone, without someone to love and cherish?
*********************************************************************************************
The elf followed his Lord, when he had noticed him leaving. He couldn’t do anything but just stare at Elrond, his heart pounding almost painfully hard in his chest. The heartbreakingly sad expression upon Elrond’s beautiful face, made his heart ache. For so long he had secretly loved his lord, thinking that Elrond would be completely out of his reach, forever. But now, when the elf saw his meleth in pain, he wanted to do something, anything to ease it. Before he realized what he was doing, he stepped closer.
Elrond raised his head, wondering who dared to disturb him. Angry words stuck in his throat, when he saw the most beautiful elf in all Arda in front of him.
“What you are doing here?” He asked softly, not daring to believe that this was really happening.
FIN.
