The Fire Dance


Ch174


Thranduil walked back into his and Elrond's private chamber "Rondy?"

"I'm out here on the balcony. You do realize that you just put
Imladris into full bloom don't you"

Thranduil looked out over the rail and smiled "T'is lovely is it not?"

"Aye, though the blooming season is over Thran, you need to reign in your
want for the foliage to this or it could unbalance things"

"Alright Rondy, I will try"

~*~*~

After visiting the healing wing, Thoniel sighed "You do not need to
carry me Taurcalad, I can walk"

"Nonsense, you almost drowned. You heard your colleagues, they want
you to rest. Now hush and let me get you back to your chamber, I am
sure that Maica-anna is wondering where you are"

Once they were in Thoniel's chamber, the warrior laid him on the bed
and pulled the covers up. Looking down at his feet, he smiled "Ahh
Maica, do you want up?"

Thoniel gently pet his little friends nose "I'm alright my little
friend", then looked at Taurcalad and smirked "It was very kind of the
healers to loan you one of their robes but..."

"But what my love"

"You just do not look right with clothing like that on, I am used to
seeing you in your loincloth"

Taurcalad smiled as he slowly removed the robe "Is this better then?"

Thoniel blushed "Well now you are just naked!"

"Aye"

The young healer rolled his eyes, then tilted his head "So...so you
have more art?"

Taurcalad arched his brow and stood next to the bed as he pointed
"Aye, you know the reason for the art to the left of me, but to the
right is where they ink my skills"

"So the...the hand means?"

"The hand with a bit of wrist attached means I am a master at hand to
hand combat. I am actually better hand to hand then with weapons...I once
snapped a wargs neck with my bare hands"

Thoniel swallowed hard "You...I did not think that was possible!"

"I am Very strong my love"

"Obviously!"

After a few moments of silence, Thoniel shyly pointed "And the branch
with leaves? What does that mean, that you are good at hanging
outlanders upside down?"

Taurcalad snorted as he shook his head "It means that I am a master of
stealth. My own brother Taurath can not find me in a tree"

"And the uh...and the, is that a campfire?"

"Aye, I am an excellent cook"

The young healer nodded, then yawned "I...I want to get some sleep"

"Alright my love, I will leave you to rest with your little friend"

Not bothering to put back on the robe, Taurcalad walked over to the
door "Would you like for me to check on you later my love?"

"Aye, that would be fine"

Once the warrior had left his chamber, Thoniel looked over at
Maica-anna and sighed "Aiyah he has a Fine arse...I...I mean his form
is rather uh...pleasant on the eyes"

Maica-anna moved a little closer, careful not to poke his elf and
thought 'My Wood-elf likes the Wood-elf, this is good', then settled
down for their nap

Another week had passed and everyone gathered for mid day meal....

Elrond rolled his eyes "Thran, vines are growing into the Homely
House, the stables are overgrown, the gardens are near impossible to
walk through...you need to hand Vilya over to someone else for a bit
or we will all be swallowed up by the foliage"

Thranduil looked over at Glorfindel and the golden warrior blanched
"Nay! Give her back to Cirdan, the rain was not so bad!"

Erestor rolled his eyes as he put Glorion in his special chair, then
took the ring from Thranduil "You faced a Balrog! And a cracked
nipple! You can handle this"

Glorfindel swallowed hard "I have seen great evil and been killed by
it, I am the dead returned, do you truly believe it wise that I OW! Hey!"

After roughly shoving the ring onto his mates finger, everyone paused
to see what would happen....

Looking down at the ring, Glorfindel whispered "Be kind Vilya, saes"

Everyone sat quietly for a few, then startled when the ground began to
shake, the sky went dark and lightning struck not far from the balcony
of the dinning hall

Elrond quickly stood "Take her off Findel!"

The golden warrior yanked at the ring "She will not come free!"

Erestor grabbed his hand, licked his finger, then pulled. Removing the
ring, everyone sighed with relief when the ground tremors ceased and
the sky cleared

"I told you I should not wear her! I died violently from something
evil and I was returned from the dead! I was Dead Elrond!"

The dark adviser looked at the ring, then took a deep breath as he
slipped her onto his finger

*Silence*

Haldir looked around, then furrowed his brow "Why is it suddenly so quiet"

Mel nodded "Aye there is no sound I hear no birds nothing I hear no
wind when did the breeze cease and I do not hear the water how can we
not hear the waterfalls they are a constant sound here"

Haldir took his hand and shuddered "Everything feels so...still"

Elrond arched his brow when he looked over at his friend "You put her
on didn't you Erestor"

The dark adviser shrugged "Well at least it is not raining, we are not
about to be eaten alive by the foliage, and the ground is not shaking
the foundation"

Glorfindel looked over at his mate and blinked "This is just far
to...creepy...take her off, this feels like Mandos Halls take her off
Rabbit"

Thranduil furrowed his brow "This feels like Mandos Halls? Aiyah I am
Never going there, nay, I am not. Not if it feels like this"

Cirdan slowly leaned close "Erestor, you are frightening me, take her off"

On one side, Elladan pulled Rumil close, then pulled Elrohir close on
the other side "Erestor saes, this still silence is making the hairs
on the back of my neck stand on end...saes"

Erestor sighed as he pulled the ring off

Instantly, life's music returned and everyone sighed with relief

Elrond shook his head as he sat back down "Wonderful. I wear her and I
go mad, Cirdan makes it rain, Thranduil causes the foliage to overrun
us, Glorfindel nearly takes down my home, and Erestor...Erestor
practically creeps us all into an unnatural grave..."

Elrond sighed at he looked over at Aglar "You said share the ring with
those who are full elven...I do Not see this working"

Aglar arched his brow "I never said you should pick Cirdan, Thranduil,
Glorfindel or Erestor"

Elrond tilted his head "Then what about You Aglar"

The red warrior looked at the ring as she sat on the table "I should
not. For one, I am Not an elf, I am Valar"

Torfindel rolled his eyes as he reached out and grabbed Vilya "Well
why don't we all give her a try" then slipped her on his finger

Erestor gasped "But you are only 48! You have not reached your
majority yet! Ion take her off!"

Elrond quickly held up his hand "Wait, do you feel that?"

Everyone paused and after a few moments, Thranduil nodded "I feel it,
the air feels like when you wear her Elrond"

Gwee looked down at his hand, then at his parents "I...I was only...I
just thought we should all try her I...I did not think she would
actually let me put her on"

Aglar smiled as he sat back "And so the problem is solved"

Torfindel blinked in shock "What? Wait, I can not truly wear her!"

Elrond sighed contently "I feel better already, my mind does not feel
so cluttered and I can sense that balance has been restored. You will
share Vilya with me Gwee"
