The Fire Dance


Ch130

Thranduil smiled as he watched Elrond fuss in front of the mirror "You
look stunning Rondy"

"Hannon le Thran, though I do believe that you are a tad bias"

Thranduil shrugged "And what if I am...I can not help the fact that I
am bound to a gorgeous peredhil"

*Snort* "Daro Thran, I need to get ready, 'tis not every day that I get
to perform a bonding ceremony"

"Alright Rondy, I will go and be disruptive...I hear that Haldir has
gone mad, should make for an interesting ceremony"

Elrond rolled his eyes "What do you mean he has gone mad"

"Eh, something about him letting Ormeril know that if she changes her
mind, he will support her. Oh, and he has already visited
Tordren...yelled at the poor healer from what I understand"

Elrond pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head "This is my
realm and I have the gift of sight, how did You come by this
information and I have not?"

Thranduil smirked "Oh Rondy, come now. I am a wood elf, I have the
trees and birds and such to inform me"

Now completely dressed, Torfindel walked out of his room and smiled
"So? How do I look?"

Erestor smiled as he nodded his approval "You look lovely"

*Groan* "Lovely?"

"Oh calm down now my little Meep, I did not mean lovely like an
elleth...I meant lovely in general"

After a few moments, Glorfindel walked out of their bedroom, then took
a deep breath "You are my family"

Erestor stood in shocked silence as his husband walked over, produced
a circlet, then placed it on his head "Oh Findel, you...you..."

Walking over to his son, Glorfindel produced another circlet and
placed it on Torfindel's head. Running over to the mirror, Gwee beamed
with pride "Is this not the circlet of The House of the Golden Flower?"

Glorfindel smiled "Aye, I thought it appropriate"

As Gwee fiddled with it to make it more secure, Erestor moved close
and gave Glorfindel a kiss "You sneaky overgrown elfling, when did you
have these made?"

"Not long ago, I thought today would be a good time to reveal them"

Erestor hugged him tight as he whispered into his neck "I am honoured
to wear the circlet of your house"

Gwee quickly ran over, shook his head violently, then swayed from
loosing his balance "I think I have it secure! I will not loss it Ada!"

Glorfindel placed his hand on his sons shoulder and nodded "Aye, I
think you could even dangle from a tree and it would not move...now
cease shaking your head like that, you do not want to injure your mind"

Erestor chuckled "Aye, you do not want to end up like those adan that
need assistance from their parents for the rest of their lives"

Torfindel shrugged, then smiled from ear to ear "May I go and get Taur
now?"

The dark adviser sighed as he rolled his eyes "Aye, go then. But do
not tarry. Go get Taurath and get to the gathering"

~*~*~

Running as fast as he could, Torfindel skidded to a halt outside
Taurath's door and knocked

"Tul!"

Upon entering, Gwee tilted his head, then walked over to Taurath's
prep table "I know you"

Railden slowly turned his head and smiled "Aye, my name is Railden. I
am one of the courtesans that live behind the barracks"

Torfindel nodded "Ahh aye, I remember now. I saw you talking with my
Ada...something about needing a bigger bed?"

Railden lightly blushed as he cleared his throat "Uh, aye"

Taurath stepped back, then crossed his arms over his chest "Done"

The young courtesan looked in the mirror and smiled "Oh hannon le
Taurath! Lirmaen will love it!"

Gwee arched his brows "Ooo...You are the courtesan that Lirmaen has
been with?"

Railden stood and straightened his robes "Aye, and I should be
going...I am to meet him at...at...oh blessed Valar where is the
ceremony being held?"

"The Wisteria Garden"

Railden slowly walked over and lightly bowed "Hannon le lord
Torfindel" then quickly fled the chamber.

Taurath smiled as he drew close "You look like a statue, what is amiss
Gwee?"

Blinking in shock, Torfindel looked up "He...he called me Lord Torfindel"

"Well, are you not the ion of a lord?"

"A...aye"

"That would make You a lord as well. Would you have rather had him
call you Lord Gwee?"

Torfindel snorted as he shook his head "I just...no one has ever
called me Lord before"

Taurath wrapped his arms around him "Railden is a courtesan, of course
he would address you by your title"

"'Tis just odd"

The warrior leaned down and placed a soft kiss to his forehead "Shall
we go now?...Lord Gwee?"

Torfindel laughed loudly, then stepped back "Aye, I just need to get
ready"

Tilting his head confused, Taurath frowned "I thought you were. You
look stunning"

Gwee shook his head, then began to remove his clothes. When he was
finally standing is nothing but his loincloth, Torfindel placed his
hands on his hips "Now I am ready"

Taurath chuckled as he shook his head "Your parents are going to kill me"

Looking down at himself, Gwee adjusted the fabric "What? 'tis a very
fancy and expensive loincloth...does it not look good on me?"

"Oh, it looks wonderful Gwee. You shall turn many heads"

Moving close, Torfindel wriggled his eyebrows "I only need to turn One
head"

Taurath smiled as he gently caressed Gwee's hip "Ohhho...consider my
head turned...permanently"

~*~*~

As everyone arrived at the garden, Erestor looked around "Do you see
him Findel?"

"Nay, I do not. Relax, Erestor, he will be here"


Just as Erestor turned, Glorfindel's eyes widened "Uh...he is here"


Knowing how his love would react, the seneschal quickly grabbed his
husband's shoulders and stopped him from turning around "Nay my lovely
rabbit, let him be. Let him uh...stay back there with Taurath"


Glorfindel glanced back as Elrond moved forward to speak and thought
proudly, 'Hmm... how is it that I did not notice that my ion has the
build of a warrior... aye he is still small, but impressive none the
less and I have to admit, he looks good in just the loincloth and
circlet...*Sigh*...Erestor is going to kill him for showing up like
that, though.'


Elrond stood tall and cleared his throat "A blessed day to you all
who are gathered here. We are together today for a very special
occasion. I stand before you, very pleased to present to you, two who
are very much in love. I give you... Ormeril Haldiriel and Tordren
Celmorion." He motioned his hands with arms outstretched to the couple.


"The couple will now recite to one another their vows of matrimony
before their family and friends." Stepping back, Elrond lightly
inclined his head to them.


Ormeril stepped forward and smiled. "I will try to be very careful
when I fight though should I get injured I will come to you this I
promise."


Tordren chuckled "And I promise that when you Do get injured, I will
not lecture you until I am done treating you."


The entire group that had gathered laughed loudly, then quieted when
Ormeril sighed. "I love you Tordren I have since the day I ran into
you in the hall and you knocked me on my arse I bind myself to you
Tordren Celmorion"


Tordren smiled. "From the moment you first spoke to me and I tried to
decipher what you were saying, I have loved you. I bind myself to you,
Ormeril Haldiriel"


Stepping forward, Elrond held out a sash, "Your wrists, saes?"


Ormeril put out her left hand as Tordren put out his right, both of
them smiling as their wrists were bound together.


Elrond then arched his brow as he leaned forward and whispered, "This
is not to be removed until you leave this gathering and the two of you
are alone"


Then as Tordren and Ormeril finally stepped down from the platform
they were standing on, the entire group stood and cheered.

~*~*~

When the after mingling began, Erestor looked up at Glorfindel and
smiled "I thought for sure that Haldir was going to do something"

Glorfindel smiled as he leaned close "Mel drugged his tea a little to
keep him calm"

Erestor lightly chuckled as he shook his head, then turned and gasped
when he noticed his son "Oh blessed Valar"

"Leave him be Rabbit"

"But...but...but..."

"Calm down, do not make scene"

Erestor narrowed his eyes, then took a deep breath "But he looked so
very nice before, why would he..."

"He is a youngling Erestor, he is expressing his independence. Did you
not do the same thing at his age?"

Erestor crossed his arms over his chest and huffed "I most certainly
did not!"

Glorfindel shrugged "Well I did, so saes, do not be to hard on him"

Erestor and Glorfindel suddenly turned when Glorduin drew close "Seems
the apple does not fall far from the tree aye ion?"

Glorfindel smiled, then cleared his throat when Erestor rolled his
eyes "'Tis inappropriate at such a gathering"

Aglar sighed "So since Taurath is dressed thusly, you feel he is being
inappropriate as well?"

The dark adviser shook his head "Well nay, 'tis the way his kin dress"

Aglar then arched his brow "Perhaps Gwee is dressing like him so he
will not feel so out of place"

Erestor paused, then looked over to his son "Well, Torfindel Is rather
sensitive, I can actually see him doing that"

As Erestor walked off to go and congratulate Ormeril and Tordren,
Glorfindel and Glorduin looked to the red warrior....

"My love, that is Not why Gwee is dressed that way"

"Agreed Adar, Aglar, Gwee is doing this to..."

Smiling from ear to ear, Aglar held up his hand "Daro, I know
perfectly well why Gwee is dressed thusly...I just thought I would
quell a kinslaying. I do not think Ormeril and Tordren would
appreciate a bloodbath at their reception"

~*~*~

As time passed, Tordren leaned over and whispered to his new mate "I
think its time we retire for the evening"
