The Fire Dance

Ch186

After several months..............


His right ankle resting comfortably on his left knee, Glorfindel sat
quietly in the great room of his family's chamber. Absently staring
into the fire, the great slayer lightly taped his boot with the riding
crop he held in his right hand...


Erestor tickled Glorion as he carried him in from the hall, then
paused when he noticed that the fire was the only light illuminating
their home "Findel?"


The feel of the chamber was dark and Glorion quieted as his father put
him down and took a tentative step forward, hearing an odd tapping
sound "Findel? Are you here?"


"I am by the fire Rabbit"


Erestor move closer then stopped and blinked when he saw his mates
face, his eyes drifting to the riding crop "Fi...Findel? What is amiss?"


Still staring into the fire, the golden warrior sighed "I just woke
from a nap, you may not wish to enter our bedchamber...where is Gwee
and Taurath?"


*TapTapTap*


The dark adviser leaned and glanced into their bedchamber and winced
at the destroyed room, then turned back "Why?"


*TapTapTap*


"I want to speak with Taurath"


Glancing again at the riding crop, Erestor frowned "Husband, what
happened today?"


*TapTapTap*


Glorfindel took a deep breath, his tapping of his boot not stopping
"Oh nothing, save for Thranduil and I having to supervise a little
fiddling session between Taurcalad and Thoniel...the warrior is
getting bolder I must say. Every time they engage in...*Sigh*...this
is the fourth "fiddling" I have had to assist with and more and more,
Taurcalad becomes rougher...I actually had to physically rip him off
of Thoniel this time, and he bit me in his rage...then I returned here
to take a nap...so...where is Gwee and Taurath?"


*TapTapTap*


Erestor swallowed hard as he slowly approached and sat down "Gwee is
finishing up some of the woodwork he was commissioned to do...Taurath
is most likely with him. Findel? Husband? Why do you have a riding
crop, you do not use riding crops"


Glorfindel tore his gaze from the fire and looked at his fair mate "I
wish to speak with Taurath"


"You said that already, why do you have a riding crop...Findel...you
had a nightmare again didn't you"


"I do Not wish to speak of it Rabbit"


Just then, Torfindel and Taurath entered the chamber and Glorion got
in their way "Ba!"


Gwee smiled down at his little brother, then noticed the odd look on
his face "What is wrong Glor"


"Ba! Adar!"


Erestor quickly stood and spun "Gwee, Taurath I think you should leave
for a bit!"


Torfindel frowned "Adar what is wrong"


Glorfindel slowly stood and turned, rhythmically smacking his left
palm with the crop "Taurath...I wish to speak with you"


The young warrior took a step back and Glorfindel growled "Hold!"


Gwee blinked in shock "Ada wha...what is wrong"


Glorfindel stood to his full height, then narrowed his eyes and
addressed Taurath "Tomorrow is Gwee's 49th begetting day...that means
it will be just One year before he is of age"


Taurath slowly nodded "You...you were with my brother and Thoniel
today were you not"


"Aye"


The young warrior steeled himself "And you wish to speak with me about?"


Glorfindel took a step forward and Gwee quickly stepped between
Taurath and his father "Ada..."


"Ion, you best move. Your intended and I have something to discuss and
we are going to go for a walk"


Gwee narrowed his eyes and stepped forward "Not with that riding crop
your not! Your not going Anywhere with him while you are holding it!"


Glorfindel smiled proudly at his son "Very well, here. Take the crop,
surely you Know I truly would not need it anyway. Tul Taurath, we must
speak"


Remembering the last serious talk he had with Glorfindel when the
great slayer was stitching his leg, the young warrior took a deep
breath, then turned and headed for the door "Where to then Glorfindel?"


"The armory"


Gwee quickly grabbed his fathers arm "Ada!"


Glorfindel rolled his eyes and let out an annoyed sigh "Fine, the
kitchen then"


Erestor watched as his husband grabbed the back of Taurath's neck and
escorted him out of the chamber


Torfindel quickly turned "Adar! What is going on!"


The dark adviser picked up Glorion, then motioned for Gwee to sit
"Ion, your Ada and I are not failing in the mind, we Know what you and
Taurath plan to do the night of your majority" Erestor then told his
firstborn about Glorfindel's day "He worries about you, he now knows
what the Avari do during courting and...well, he wont tell me. I only
just found out today that Taurcalad needed to be forcibly removed from
Thoniel, and that he actually bit your Ada...I do not blame your Ada
for not telling me what's been going on"


Torfindel thought about that for a moment, his Adar had actually hit
one of the Valar for only frightening him by tossing Glorion up into
the air, then catching him...and from what he had been told by Taurath
about what Taurcalad had been doing, he was sure that his Adar would
rip his loves head off and stick it on a pole "Adar, Taurath and I
will bond, you Know this. I know he is going to be rough but...saes,
do not hurt him..."


Erestor held up his hand, closed his eyes, then took a deep breath
"Have you thought about what eldar you will chose as your witness? I
know Taurath is smaller then his brother but...you will want someone
strong"


Gwee lowered his gaze, then whispered "Actually Adar, Taurath has
decided to court me in the ancient Gondolin ways...he has already been
courting me...for four months now"


Erestor blinked in shock "What? Has...has he hurt you?"


Torfindel rolled his eyes "Nay Adar, he already told me back when we
first began to date that...that he would do nothing to me until I
reached my majority" he then sighed heavily "That is when he will
become ...uh ...rough. When he finally claims me back"


The dark adviser gave his son a cheeky smile "Well, I would not say he
has done Nothing with you"


"Adar!"


"Ion, you live but a few feet from your Ada's and my bedchamber...do
you truly believe that we have not heard what the two of you do in
there all these years?"


"Gwee"


"Ba!"


"Oh both of you hush now. Torfindel, we know that Taurath has
not...been behind you shall we say. But when you reach your majority
in a years time..."


"Mandos"


Erestor frowned, then shook his head "What? What about him"


Torfindel sighed, then shyly smiled "Mandos. I asked Mandos to be
the...the uh..."


Erestor's eyes widened "You asked the Valar of the dead to be...to be
your witness?!"


Gwee shrugged as he nodded "Look at it as a good thing! He is a Valar!
He will be able to protect me and not even have to move to do it...he
is perfect for the job!"


The dark adviser groaned as he picked up Glorion, then looked him in
the eyes "You are not allowed to get romantically involved with Any
Avarin...actually, you are not allowed to get romantically involved with
Anyone! Ever!"


Glorion gave his father a saucy smile, then bounced "Ba!"


"Argh! You look like your Adar when you do that! Daro!"

When Glorfindel and Taurath arrived at the kitchen, Haldir held up his
hand in warning "Careful, my iel is in there...and she is hungry"


The golden slayer smiled as he nodded "Warning taken, yet we still
want to enter"


Haldir shrugged as he shook his head "T'is your hides"


Once they were inside, Glorfindel forced the young warrior to sit
"Stay", then walked over to Ormeril


"Fair evening Ormeril. Having cravings and not finding anything that
helps?"


The young elleth protectively rubbed her growing belly, then growled
"What do you want!"


Glorfindel smiled as he held out a cheesecake "Try this"


"I do not care for cheesecake!"


"Try it"


Ormeril sighed as she stuck her hand in the middle of the desert, then
ate what she grabbed


Glorfindel smiled when he heard her lightly purr, then lick her
fingers and grab the desert from his hand. Slowly reaching out, he
placed his hand on her shoulder "Tul Ormeril, sit with us"
