The Fire Dance

Ch162

Once they reached the border of Imladris, Glorfindel held up his hand
"My lords, would one of you saes, contact Aglar and tell him what has
happened? I think it only fair that Elrond be prepared for our
arrival...we have been gone a few days and...well, I am sure everyone
has been worried and..."

Orome waved his hand "I will do as you ask Glorfindel, after all, it
was I who kidnapped the pregnant adviser"

Erestor rolled his eyes "I DO have a name, and it is Not "The pregnant
adviser" or "Feisty one", I think that..."

"Nuuuuuu....babababa"

Erestor quickly looked down "Oh! Oh Findel did you hear him? He said Nu!"

Glorfindel chuckled as he shook his head "He also said Babababa...I
highly doubt that he said Nu as a real word...they are sounds that any
elfling can put together"

Erestor narrowed his eyes "If Torfindel can say "Gwee" and have that
be a word, then I think this could also be considered a word! Our
elfling spoke!"

The seneschal sighed "Fine, he spoke. Why don't you ask him to finish
his thought then, for I would like to know what is under what...are We
under something? For I see only the sky above us"

The dark adviser sat tall and squared his shoulders "Aye, that is what
he meant...that we are under the sky. He is rather intelligent is he not?"

~*~*~

Everyone gasped when they suddenly found themselves on the front steps
in the main courtyard

Elrond shook his head as he tried to get his bearings "The only one I
know that could make us all appear here like this, is you Aglar. What
is wrong"

Torfindel chuckled as he looked at Cirdon and Elrohir flushed cheeks
"And if it Was you who brought us here, hannon le for making sure that
certain individuals were clothed!"

Cirdan smiled as he pulled Elrohir close, then whispered in his ear
"We shall have to continue later I guess"

Elladan rolled his eyes as the younger half smirked and whispered back
"I look forward to it...master"

Aglar smiled as he arched his brow "Am I going to have to separate you
two?"

When the laughter died down, Aglar told everyone the information,
omitting the part that Taurath's brother was arriving as well

Thranduil gently placed his hand on Elrond's shoulder when he stepped
forward "But...but it is to soon for Erestor to...Glor...Glorfindel
delivered...but..."

Before Elrond could finish his thought, Torfindel growled "Is my Adar
alright?! He was not due for at least 3 months!!"

Aglar held up his hand "Calm down, everyone. Erestor is fine,
Glorfindel is fine, the elfling is healthy and fine...Orome made sure
of this"

Taking a deep breath, Elrond tried not to growl "Well, I suppose if
you were to deliver Early, out in the middle of Nowhere..."

"Elrond, calm yourself"

"Forgive me Aglar if I am a tad concerned! Someone I consider a dear
friend, was just taken from my sanctuary anmmmpf..."

Thranduil sighed as Elrond tried to remove his hand from his mouth
"Daro Rondy, shush for just a moment I have a question I would like to
ask"

Aglar tilted his head "Aye Thranduil?"

"You told us much...now I would like to clarify something.You said
that Lord Tulkas was there. Is he returning with Erestor, Glorfindel,
their ion and lord Orome?"

"Aye"

Elrond yanked Thranduil's hand away "What?!"

Crossing his arms over his chest, Aglar nodded "Aye, Tulkas will be
arriving with them"

Gwee quickly grabbed Taurath and wrapped his arms around him "Oh no
you don't! Daro now you are Not fleeing up that tree again!"

Suddenly, everyone turned to the main gateway when Glorfindel rode in
and yelled "Well! Look at this Rabbit, everyone is here to greet us!",
then arched his brow as everyone ran over to Erestor, surrounding him
as he slowly dismounted "Alright, so everyone has gathered to greet You!"

Thranduil laughed as he patted Glorfindel's shoulder "Ohhh you were
missed to Findel, just not as much!"

Erestor smiled as he uncovered the bundle in his arms "His name is
Glorion"

Torfindel smiled proudly "I have a brother!! I...I have a little
brother!", then rolled his eyes when Glorduin yelled "Ah! I am finally
a Daeradar!"

Once everyone finally calmed a bit and backed away, they noticed Orome
and another by his side. Summoning all his courage, Elrond slowly
walked over and bowed "Are you lord Tulkas?"

Tulkas nodded as he laughed "Aye!"

The entire group fell silent when he laughed, all of them remembering
the tale of how Melkor fled in fear from his laughter

"Oh now now, calm down, all of you. I know your home is a sanctuary,
you need not fear my being here!"

"Will you be uh...staying?"

Orome smiled as he stepped forward "Aye, we will Both be staying for a
time"

The Huntsman then smiled when he realized that since everyone had been
focused of Erestor and his elfling, than the two of them, no one had
noticed the lone elf standing over by the horses "On our way back, we
ran into a little warg pack, and we were helped by some warriors"

Thranduil frowned "Warriors? Where were you"

Everyone turned when they heard "Avarin territory", then blinked
surprised when a large warrior stepped out from behind the horses

Seeing that the warrior wore only a loincloth, Torfindel tiled his
head "And uh...who...who are you?"

The warrior just smiled as Taurath took a disbelieving step forward,
tears streaming down his face as he gasped in shock "Tau...Taurcalad?
Is...is that really...really you?"

"Aye little brother, t'is me"
