The Fire Dance


Ch190

Torfindel smiled as Taurath entered the chamber "Gwee? What are you
doing back, I thought you had a few signs left to complete"

Gwee pointed over to the fire "I have been ordered to watch little
BaBa this evening"

In hearing his brothers pet name for him, Glorion smiled "Ba! Melethron!"

Torfindel and Taurath gasped and Gwee quickly moved to the floor and
sat with his little brother "Glor! Where did you learn that word!"

"Ba!"

"Don't you Ba me! You tell me, who are you calling Melethron...me?
Taurath?"

Glorion picked up his wood blocks and began to stack them one by one,
then smiled "Melethron-nin Tuuuulkas! Ba!"

Gwee looked back over at Taurath and shook his head "Ooo...well, That
explains why my Ada and Adar are at the cabin...and why Mandos dragged
lord Tulkas off by his hair" he then sighed "And why I was told to
care for him this evening"

Torfindel and Taurath quickly turned when Glorduin entered "Actually,
I will be relieving you of that duty, Aglar went to visit with his
parents and I most certainly am not going to spend the night alone, so
I will be taking him for the night"

Gwee smiled as he got up and hugged him "Good evening Daeradar, are
you sure you want to take him? I truly do not mind watching him"

Glorduin arched his brow "Oh, you and Taur want me to stay here
tonight as well? I would feel rather uncomfortable sleeping in my
ion's bed, so I guess I will have to share Yours and Taurath's with
you...I refuse to sleep on a long chair...ohhh penneth, why the
shocked face, do you Not want for me to sleep with you two? Tis not
like I do not know what goes on in there, I will just lay facing the
other way"

Torfindel quickly picked up his little brother and handed him over
"Take him"

The ancient lord smirked as he turned and walked out with Glorion in
his arms "I think they want to be alone"

"Ba!"

Glorduin rolled his eyes "Oh what is it with my line...you have this
word "Ba", Torfindel has that word "Gwee", Glorfindel used to run
around driving me to madness as he yelled "Urwa" over and over" the
ancient lord then sighed as he shook his head "Oddly prophetic of him,
screaming "On fire! On fire!", then actually perishing that way. Then
again, Glorfindel always was a little odd"

"Ba!"

Back in the chamber, Torfindel sat down on the long chair, then
flopped his body down and placed his head on Taurath's lap "Mandos
took me from the woodcarving shop right in the middle of me finishing
a sign that Elrond had commissioned. It was such an odd feeling...my
body became tingly, went numb, then I appeared here...it did not feel
at All like when Aglar placed us on the front steps of the Homely
House when your brother arrived"

Taurath smiled down at his love and gently caressed his hair "Aglar is
just his ion...I would think that Mandos would be more powerful, and
besides, he IS the Valar of the dead. Had your Ada ever spoken about
what it felt like in the Halls of Waiting?"

Gwee chuckled "You jest, like I could Ever get Ada to talk about that
time!" Torfindel fell silent for a moment, then looked up into his
loves eyes "though I do remember one time, when I was a little older then
Glorion...Ada was in bed napping and I came in to watch him. He was
having a nightmare...fighting some foe...then suddenly he was
shuddering and arching his back. He rolled over onto his stomach then
spread his legs and began to pant"

Taurath blinked "Did he say anything? I have heard him mumble during
his sleep"

Torfindel thought back, then furrowed his brow "Aye, he did say
something, it was..."Oh that feels so good my lord"...he was moaning
and fisting the sheets, though he was laying flat on his stomach"

The young warrior smirked as he arched his brow "Ooo...I wonder who
the lord was that he was with before your Adar!"

Gwee shrugged "I know he did have some lovers before Adar, like
Aglar...but none of them were lords, he did not know Aglar was who he
was at that time, so it couldn't have been him he was referring to as
"Lord"...and this comment was during one of his nightmares, and they
are only of the fight in Gondolin with the Balrog, his death, and his
time in the Halls of Waiting"

"Where was Erestor during this, I can not imagine your Adar leaving
you alone with Glorfindel when he was having a nightmare like that"

"Adar came in and told me to go play in the main chamber. I stayed
next to the door of course, peeking in. Adar sat down next to Ada and
just stayed with him, giving silent support"

Taurath blinked "While Glorfindel was fisting the sheets and moaning?!
How...how did he react"

Again, Gwee thought back, then shrugged "He did not seem concerned at
all. He was very calm, and when Ada woke suddenly, Adar just held him
quietly"

The young warrior shook his head "Interesting", then smiled "So, I
know you want to go back to the woodcarving shop to finish that sign"

Torfindel quickly sat up "You do not mind?"

"Not at all. How about I come with you and wait, then we can get some
food and come back here"

Gwee smirked "And sit on the fur before the fire and eat?"

"Aye, sounds good to me, let us go"

As they walked into the hallway, Taurath took his loves hand "So, what
does this sign say that Lord Elrond commissioned, and where will it go"

Gwee snorted as he shook his head "It is to be placed somewhere in the
hedge maze, and it will read..."Imladris; favorite vacationing home of
the Valar"...I was almost finished with it when Mandos kidnapped me, I
only need to add the "ar" in Valar, then stain it"

~*~*~

Erestor and Glorfindel sat down on their long chair as Vel and Ron
pulled up two chairs before them

Before the twins were fully settled and able to speak, Erestor crossed
his arms over his chest "Now I realize that you two came here to help
me, but I think I shall just say it now. I do not want your help. I
think I am perfectly capable of "Healing" my own mind"

The twins smiled as they nodded ""Very well uncle Erestor""

The dark adviser narrowed his eyes and leaned forward a little "Ohh
that was just to easy, you Knew I was going to say that, didn't you"

"Aye"
"Aye, we did"

Glorfindel quickly raised his hand "I then also..."

Thorvel quickly shook his head "Not a chance uncle Findel, you are the
real reason we are here"

Erestor furrowed his brow "The real reason?"

Thoron nodded "Aye, we knew that we would only be able to gain entry
to your cabin, if uncle Findel thought we were here to help You uncle
Erestor...you do not truly need our help. You have done remarkably
well with your fears. You have come to love and trust a warrior, and
you are doing wonderfully in raising your elflings when you thought
you would not...the only thing we can offer you in "Help", is that we
Know that Lord Tulkas has not been inappropriate with little Glorion,
and that his love for your ion is true. He will wait until Glorion is
of age, and then, and only Then, will he approach him and offer his love"

Erestor swallowed hard as he wrung his hands in his lap "What...what
will Glorion's answer be. Saes, I...I must know this"

The twins exchanged a look.....

Thorvel: "His answer will be...Aye"
Thoron: "And he will be Very happy"

Erestor released a relieved breath, then smiled at his mate "He will
be happy"

Glorfindel nodded blankly "Uh-huh wonderful", then slowly turned his
gaze to the twins "So in truth, you came here to help My sorry arse ay?"

The twins both sat tall, summoning all their strength ""Aye uncle Findel""

The great slayer lightly growled with annoyance "Had I known that you
two were going to turn on me one day, I never would have let you hide
out in Erestor's and my chamber with Ormeril...or saved you from your
first checking in the healing wing...or had you two forgotten that I
rescued you from The Brow that day"

Erestor blinked in shock "Findel! They are only here to help you!"

Glorfindel shook his head as he sighed "And you drugged me did you
not? I can feel something is amiss...I want to stand and pace...but
for some reason, I seem to feel a bit...sluggish"

The twins quickly glanced over at Erestor ""Worry not uncle Erestor,
we knew what his reaction to this would be and we...""

"You drugged him?! If you two can See so much, then you should have
seen how he would react to being made vulnerable!"

Thorvel calmly tilted his head, then arched his brow "And you truly
believe, without a mild sedative, that uncle Findel would have sat
quietly for us?"

Thoron nodded "Uncle Findel, you are still able to move, and think
clearly. This cabin was created for you by Mandos himself...he gave
you this "Safe place", do you truly think that he would allow harm to
befall you here? Vel and I can feel the energy that surrounds this
place...the draft we slipped you, was only to prevent your strangling
us in your desperation to avoid our help...and you Need our help"

Thorvel gently placed his hand on his brothers shoulder "These
nightmares are ravaging your mind and fea...it would only be a matter
of time before they began to effect other parts of your life. The fact
that they have not yet, is a testament to your stubborn strength...you
need to let us in"

Glorfindel sat quietly as he listened, then sighed "They are...ugly. I
do not welcome sharing them with you two, you are so young"

Erestor scooted closer, then placed his hand on his knee in comfort
"They are not All ugly...there is that one that you have where you
are...well...obviously enjoying yourself"

Glorfindel's eyes widened as his head sluggishly turned to face his
mate "Oh and like I want Them to witness that?!"

Erestor gave him a cheeky smirk "Vel and Ron are no strangers to
pleasure Findel...and you being pleasured in such a way is..."

"Rabbit, I am getting my arse licked by some unknown...someone! I
hardly think that..."

"Saes Findel...Husband...let them help you"

Glorfindel dropped his head back against the back of the long chair
"Argh! Fine! Fiddle with my mind then! But should you come out of
there with damaged minds, I refuse to be held responsible"

Vel and Ron smiled as they moved closer ""Relax then uncle Findel""

"How can I not relax, you imps drugged me, remember?"

Erestor took a deep breath, watching as Thorvel reached forward with
his right hand, and Thoron reached forward with his left "Be careful,
he is not Lindir...he is older and been through far more"
