The Fire Dance

Ch166

Erestor rolled his eyes, then gently handed Glorion over "I want him
back...and soon!"


Tulkas smiled as he pulled the elfling close "Worry not Feisty Elf,
t'is not like I will run off with him"


The dark adviser narrowed his eyes "I would hunt you down and skin you
if you did"


"Ooo...I am being threatened again!"


Orome snorted as he nodded "Aye, that you are!"


Everyone smiled as the Valar bounced him in his arms, Glorion
squealing happily "Ba! Babababa!"


A few moments later though, Erestor leaped from his chair when Tulkas
tossed Glorion into the air, then caught him


*Smack!!*


"Don't you Ever do that again!!"


Glorfindel quickly rushed over and pulled his mate and son back
"Erestor! Are you mad?! My lord, saes, forgive him!"


Tulkas tilted his head, then rubbed his cheek "You...you struck me"


Orome laughed loudly, then made a pouting face "Oh...poor Tulkas. You
know, I hear he only slaps the really annoying Valar"


"Why did you strike me Feisty Elf? I was not harming your seed"


Erestor panted fearfully when it dawned on him that he had just
slapped the Valar of war "You...you were tossing him about and...I..."


Miradel slowly stood, then walked over and took Glorion from her
brothers arms "Erestor, Adar used to do that to you"


Elrond: "I did so with Elladan and Elrohir"
Thranduil: "And I with my elflings"
Glorduin: "And I with Glorfindel"
Glorfindel: "Rabbit, I have done that with Gwee many times"


Everyone suddenly turned when they heard from the balcony doors "And I
did so with Aglar"


Erestor trembled as Mandos slowly walked over "Wh...what brings you
here my lord?"


Mandos tilted his head, then smirked "You just slapped Tulkas, I
thought perhaps I should come and see if I had a fea to collect. After
all, the last one who dared strike him was...well, you all know who it
was. I mean come now Erestor, it is one thing for Tulkas to kindly
offer his body for you to beat upon when you were in the forest, t'is
another to just slap him as you did."


Seeing his father tremble, Torfindel slowly stood and growled "That is
enough! My lord Tulkas, did my Adar's slap truly offend you?"


"Nay, I was just surprised that he did it"


Torfindel then turned to the Valar of the dead "Mandos, you are my
friend...why would you try and frighten my Adar like that!"


Mandos arched his brow "It was a legitimate statement Gwee" then
walked over to Miradel "Besides, I also came to see Glorfindel's new seed"


As Miradel slowly handed Glorion over, Tulkas smirked "He is not going
to like you"


Mandos shrugged as he looked at the elfling "I know most new lives do
not, but Gwee liked me, so I thought I would try his little brother
and see wha..."


"Ahhhhh!!! Wahhh...waaaahhhh!!!"


Mandos softly chuckled "Ah now This is what I am used to", then tilted
his head when Glorion reached for Tulkas. Handing him over to his
fellow, Mandos shook his head when the elfling immediately began to
giggle and bounce "Ba! Babababa...Da..."


Tulkas's eyes widened and he swiftly handed him to Erestor "You should
take him Feisty Elf, I uh...I think he is getting hungry" then quickly
stepped away and out of Glorion's veiw


Pulling him close, Erestor nuzzled him and smiled "Are you hungry ion?"


"Ba! Da! Aa...aaaa...da..."


Glorfindel quickly grabbed his mate and son when Erestor's knees
buckled "He said Ada!! Findel! Did you hear him?"


Taurcalad slowly leaned close to his brother "You were not jesting
when you said their meals were interesting, and your love...growling
at the Valar? Aiyah you know how to pick them brother"


Taurath arched his brow "I know how to pick them? This, coming from you!"


"And what is That suppose to mean?"


"You fell in love with a prisoner brother"


"Mmm...well, actually I was going to ask for your help on that matter,
I want to try and show Thoniel my feelings. I know this will be a hard
task, but as you said, I love him. If I do not at least try and gain
his trust, I will live the rest of my days wondering "What if", and..."


"You are going to try and court him?"


"Aye little brother"


Taurath slowly looked over and smiled as he watched everyone gather
around Glorion as he babbled "I will help you brother, but in return,
I need Your help with something"


"Name it"


"I need to collect some stones. They must be at least the size of your
fist"


Taurcalad frowned "Stones?"


"Shh...aye brother, stones. Eh, after everyone goes about their daily
routines, I will take you to the library, then you will understand"


"Alright little brother, I will do what I can to help"


Taurath smiled, then gave his brother a hug "Hannon le. So, what are
you thinking of as your first gift to your love?"


Taurcalad shrugged "I do not know. I would like for it to be unique,
something unexpected"
