The Fire Dance

The Fire Dance


Ch170


Still that night.........

Trying not to wake Erestor, Glorfindel crawled into bed....

"And where have You been my trouble making warrior?"

Glorfindel cringed, then rolled over and pulled Erestor into his arms
"I was helping Taurcalad prepare a romantic setting for Thoniel. He
had made an evening meal for the healer"

Erestor arched his brow "And this took most of the night?"

"Actually Rabbit, I have been in the main chamber for little over an hour"

Propping himself up on his elbow, Erestor furrowed his brow "Doing what"

"I looked in on our ion and his warrior. Gwee has his arms
possessively locked around Taurath"

Erestor smiled as he slowly trailed his finger up and down
Glorfindel's bare chest "Mmm...sounds familiar"

Glorfindel chuckled, then sighed "Then I watched Glorion sleep for
about an hour"

The dark adviser tilted his head "You just watched him sleep? Findel,
is something wrong?"

The golden warrior rolled onto his back, then gave a serious look to
his mate "Do you love me Erestor?"

"I would not be laying naked in your bed and raising a family with you
if I did not"

"Do you trust me?"

Erestor frowned "Aye, I do. I trust you more then I do my own
sister...though do Not tell Mira that!"

Glorfindel snorted, then took a deep breath "When did you finally
trust me? What did I do to change the way you felt"

The dark adviser furrowed his brow in thought, then shook his head "I
am not completely certain. Perhaps it was when I was drunk on the
haven wine. You did not take advantage of me and...and then you laid
submissive for Me, that did shock me greatly...I think it was after
that night, that I began to feel more comfortable around you...to
actually trust you. Findel, tell me now. What is wrong"

"Taurcalad and Thoniel"

"Ahh...you wish to help"

Glorfindel released a frustrated breath as he folded his arms under
his head "Aye. Taurcalad is very much in love with him and Thoniel, I
know for a fact that he is attracted to him...but..."

Erestor gave a knowing look "But, Taurcalad is about as subtle as a
hungry warg, about to sink his fangs in your neck."

"Aye, and Thoniel is the Neck"

~*~*~

The next morning..............

Thoniel lowered his head, then took a deep breath as he knocked on the
heavy wood door. Moments later, it opened...

"Fair morning healer Thoniel"

"Fair morning Thorvel, are you and your brother free?"

The elder twin arched his brow as he glanced over his shoulder "Ron?
Healer Thoniel is here and wishes to speak with us"

"Well then let him in!"

Once he was sitting comfortably on the long chair, the twins sat on
either side of him...

The twins gave each other a knowing look ""So, tell us why you have
come to see us?""

Thoniel licked his lips, then shrugged "I...I do not know"

Thoron arched his brow as he tilted his head "You know why. Vel and I
know why you are here, but you need to say it out loud, the words must
come from you"

The young healer sighed, then dropped his face into his hands "I
am...attracted to someone!"

""We know that, tell us who""

Thoniel's lower lip wibbled slightly "Well if you already know! Why
must I say it! And...and how do you know?"

Vel sat back as Ron placed his hand on Thoniel's knee "We have visions
remember? We know what you do when you are alone in your
chamber...before this warrior even came here to Imladris, you were
pleasuring yourself at night with his name on your lips...now say his
name aloud for us so that we may talk"

Thoniel blushed crimson, then lowered his head and whispered
"T...Taurcalad"

Vel smiled as he sat forward and gently rubbed circles on the healers
back "Say his name again Thoniel"

The young healer took a deep breath "Taurcalad"

Thorvel and Thoron smiled, then hugged the healer tight ""Now, open
you mind to us and let us view what happened, then we shall talk""

~*~*~

Taurcalad tilted his head as his brother entered the inner garden
"That looks like quite a heavy sack you've got there"

Taurath sighed as he dropped it, then stretched "Aye it is. I have
begun to gather the stones. I'm going to gather them a little at a
time so not to arouse suspicion, may I keep them here in the garden?
No one would think that they were what I plan them for if I just
arrange a little rock garden here, and this way, they will all be
together when I need them"

"I do not mind, but tell me little brother, you are not the ion of a
lord. Aye Adar was a warrior, but..."

Taurath rolled his eyes "The circle is not for Me brother, it is for
Gwee. Gwee is the ion of a warrior lord...he may not be a warrior
himself, but the rules of the The Fire Dance & Bonding Circle state
that fire dances are sometimes performed as rites of passage for the
sons of great warriors, as a symbol of status...and as far as the
bonding circle, Gwee will have reached his majority, therefore he is
allowed to be within one and..."

Taurcalad held up his hand "I get the idea...so, what happens if
someone else attempts to enter the circle"

"I will beat them to death"

"I am serious little brother"

"So am I!"

Taurcalad sighed as he shook his head "Truly, what if you are
challenged, I do not remember anything written about such things in
that book"

Taurath frowned "I do not know...perhaps I should speak with
Glorfindel, he would know"

"I thought you wanted to keep this a secret"

"I will ask him in reference to him and Erestor. I will just say that
Gwee told me about their dance and I was just wondering what would
have happened if Erestor had been challenged"

Taurcalad smiled proudly "How did you get to be so smart"

Taurath smiled back as he chuckled "Eh, it just runs in the family I
guess" then turned and left the garden

~*~*~

Thorvel and Thoron slowly pulled their hands away and the younger twin
nodded "Vel, go and put the sign on the door so that no one disturbs us"

As Vel got up, Thoniel tilted his head "What sign?"

"Oh, we had Gwee carve us a sign that says "Counselling: Do Not
Disturb", that way when we are helping someone, there will be no
interruptions"

"I...I saw a basket hanging beside your door as well, what is that for?"

Ron smiled as he poured the healer some tea "When we are busy, whoever
came to see us can leave a note for us. That way when we are done, we
can go and find out what they needed, there are strips of parchment
and a charcoal stick in the basket"

Thoniel sat back and sighed "That is a good idea. So, are...are you
going to do to me what you did with Lindir?"

Thorvel sat back down and shook his head "Nay. With you, we just
peeked so that we knew what was upsetting you, now we will talk and
help you understand your feelings and fears"

~*~*~

Elrond paused as he walked by Thorvel and Thoron's chamber, then
looked at their door and read aloud "Counselling: Do Not Disturb" then
smiled when he saw the basket. Taking out a strip of parchment, Elrond
scribbled a little note with the charcoal.....

~I love you both and you make me very proud, I could not have hoped for
better Daerhin~

~:~With all my love, The Brow~:~

Folding, then placing the note into the basket, Elrond resumed his
stroll down the hallway and came to a stop at Elladan's study

"Ion?"

Elladan looked up and smiled "Adar, what a nice surprise come
in...havo dad"

Elrond slowly made his way around his sons desk, then pulled Elladan
to standing "I can not stay, I am making my rounds"

The elder twin tilted his head "Are you alright Adar?"

Suddenly, Elrond pulled his firstborn close, then wrapped his arms
around him in a crushing hug "I love you Elladan. I am so very proud
of you...you have found yourself a wonderful mate, and raised two
wonderful ionath...I know I reacted horribly when I first discovered
that you were to be an Ada...I hit you...that was wrong of me. I could
not have asked for better Daerhin...your Nana...she...she would have
been proud"

Elladan smiled into his fathers neck, then nuzzled it like he used to
when he was a elfling "Hannon le Ada, I love you to"

After a few moments, Elrond stepped back "I should return to making my
rounds. Do you know where your brother is?"

The elder twin smirked "T'is close to midday Ada...you know perfectly
well where he would be"

Elrond shook his head as he sighed "Aiyah, Cirdan and his mid day..."

"Adar"

"I know I know, at least they are happy...once you are done with the
paperwork I interrupted, take the rest of the day and spend it with Rumil"

"Hannon le Ada, I will"

~*~*~

Vel and Ron slowly stood "I think this was a very good session"

"Agreed, you have opened to us and we have learned much"

Thoniel made his way to the door and sighed "Now what do I do"

Ron gently placed his hand on the small of Thoniel's back "You carry
on and come and see us again. Come back tomorrow, I think in the
beginning, you should come to us daily and share your feelings and fears"

"Daily?"

Thoron smiled "Just for now, little by little the sessions will spread
out until you do not need to see us anymore. Why don't you go now and
take a nice refreshing walk...go to the Bruinen"

"I...I can not swim"

"I did not say swim, I said go and take a walk, the soothing sounds of
the water will relax you"

The young healer nodded as he sighed "Alright, and uh...hannon le for
helping"

Vel and Ron smiled from ear to ear ""You're welcome and we will see you
tomorrow""
