The Fire Dance

Authors Note:
--------
Nessa Ar-Fieneil - I guess I just like to have Valar that meddle around...there is always a reason for their actions, like with Mandos interfearing and makeing sure that Vel & Ron did not ride the horses and went to the Avari settlement, that path they were set on made it so that Gwee and Taurath met...:)
--------
Blushing - Hehehe...its amazing how so many words can mean so many diffrent things in other launguages, thanks for shareing that with me...:)
--------
Nightbreeze - I know there are many diffrent words for healer, thank you for giveing me 2 more...Where did you get those translations, I would like to go to that site, I went to the Council of Elrond and put in the words you gave me and it came back as "Renewer", which of course could be taken as a healer, a healer renews the body...again, thanks for giveing me 2 new words to play with...:)

The Fire Dance


Ch164


Thoniel swallowed hard and trembled when Taurcalad took another step
closer and whispered in his ear "Still hissing ay?"

"Wh...what are you doing here"

Taurcalad smiled as he lightly nuzzled the healers ear, then told him
what had happened, and how he was here to stay

"Saes...saes do not hu...hurt me"

Taking a step back, the warrior tilted his head "I have no intention
of hurting you my sweet little hissing healer, why would you think that"

Thoniel narrowed his eyes "Because it was You! You were the one
who...who wrestled me to the ground! Then tied me up and hung me from
that tree!!"

"That was my job. You were trespassing...tell me, did I harm you in
any way while you were in my care? Did I not let you down so that you
could relieve yourself? Did I not share the food from my own bowl with
you? When you whimpered that your wrists and ankles were hurting, did
I not use a different knot to alleviate the pain?"

"You hung me upside down!!"

"Aye, that I did. It is a tactic that we use to disorientate
captives...keeping them docile and easy to manage"

Thoniel shook his head "But I am a healer! I do not harm, I help!"

Taurcalad stepped back and sighed "Obviously there is nothing I will
be able to say that will calm your fears at this time. I will just
leave you be this night, goodnight"

As the warrior moved to climb up into the tree, Thoniel frowned "What
are you doing"

"I am going to bed"

"Here?!"

"Aye, lord Elrond told me that I could live in this garden, you are
standing in my new home"

The healer quickly looked around "But...but you...you can Not stay
here! My chamber is..."

"Right over there, I know, I saw you enter it earlier"

Before the healer could respond, Tordren and Ormeril entered the
garden "What is all the fuss here? Need I get the ScratchThorn?"

Thoniel swiftly walked over "Master Tordren! Oh you Must help me,
saes! This...this is the warrior! The one who bound me and hung me
from that tree and..."

Ormeril looked up into the tree "I do not see anyone"

Taurcalad chuckled "I am right here"

"Where"

"Here"

Ormeril tilted her head "I still do not see you"

"Look to your right...nay your right...further...further...now up a
branch"

"Oh! By the Valar how can you be so close and yet I did not see you oh
you are going to have to teach me how to do that your voice even
sounded like it was coming from over there not where you are right now
that is amazing!"

Seeing the fearful look on his face, Tordren shook his head "Thoniel,
go and get some things, you may stay in our guest chamber this night,
I will speak with lord Elrond in the morning"

~*~*~

Thranduil gently nudged Elrond's arm "So? What is happening now! Tul
Rondy, when you pause like that, it is like someone yanking a story
book from my hands when I have just got to the good part!"

Elrond smiled "You enjoy my sight ability's way to much Thran"

"I can not help it, I am used to having my own realm and knowing what
is happening...tul now, what is happening"

Elrond closed his eyes, then sighed "Taurcalad is bedding down for the
night, Ormeril is putting fresh water in the wash basin in the guest
chamber, and Tordren is trying to calm Thoniel and..." Elrond suddenly
tilted his head the other way "Oh...oh oh the poor thing..."

"What! I can tell you are looking at something else now, what!"

"Glorion is whimpering"

~*~*~

Torfindel stopped mid thrust "Shhh"

*Pant* "Wha...what Gwee, what is it"

"Tis Glorion, he is fussing about something"

Taurath smiled as he began to push "Off...off now my love, let us
check on him"

Torfindel did not move "Ada and Adar will do that"

"If they were going to, they would be by now. I do not hear your
parents voices. Daro now Gwee, we can continue after, you should check
on your brother"

Gwee smiled as he moved "I caught myself a very loving and
understanding elf"

Taurath chuckled as he put on his sleep pants "Aye, you are lucky to
have me, and I you. Now, let us go and check on your brother

When Torfindel and Taurath entered the main chamber, they looked down
into the little crib...then quickly took a step back and scrunched
their noses...

"Blessed Valar"

"Oh that...that is foul. Gwee, he needs to be changed"

Torfindel quickly looked over "I do not know how to do that, do you?"

Taurath shook his head "I have never done thusly"

"Well, Ada and Adar must be exhausted if they have not come to tend to
him. I say we try and get him cleaned up for them, they have been
through so much, lets let them sleep for a while"

Standing in the frame of their bedroom door, Erestor looked back, then
up into Glorfindel's eyes as he whispered "Should we interrupt?"

Glorfindel smiled proudly at their firstborn as he began to tend to
his little brother "Nay, let them help. They need not know that we
were only absent to get a fresh cloth, drop it on the chair there,
they will find it"

Erestor quietly tossed the fresh changing cloth and sighed "We never
taught Gwee how to change a cloth, do you think he will manage alright?"

The golden warrior smirked "Taurath wares a loincloth Rabbit, and has
done so his entire growing. A soiling cloth is Not that much
different, I am sure they will figure it out. Tul now, Taurath is
making a small fire, they are obviously thinking that they are in this
for the night...let us get some sleep, then relieve them when it is
time for Glorion's feeding"
