Authors Note:
------------
Ertia - *Smirks* Yes, Thran is not exactly thinking straight is he! And
poor Findel, yeah Id be havein a double!....:)
------------
TopazKat - No prob...you could go to The Encyclopedea of Arda
href="http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/default.asp......You">http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/default.asp
.....You can look up Gildor
Inglarien there...he is suposedly the son of Finarfin, which makes him
a prince. His branch of the family tree refused to participate in the
kinslayings. So he is old and from the time around the Silmarillion. He
is older then Thranduil, Elrond...yet younger then Glorfindel and
Cirdan...hope that helps a little...:)
------------
Nikkiling - Yeah, If I was Gildor right now, Id be a LITTLE
nervouse!...:)
------------
Githoniel - Liked the little "shareing" that Elrond and Cirdan had ay?
Thanks. And yup it be Gildor...the wandering gypsiy lord! *Smirks*...:)

The Fire Dance
Ch23
Gildor landed on the floor with a loud thud, then slowly looked up,
noticed an elleth across the room and groaned "Oh blessed valar"
Miradel slowly stood from her chair. As she sized up the intruder, she
immediately noticed the daggers on his boot and hip "Wh...who are you!
Why are...what do you want!"
Gildor quickly got to his knees, placed his hands on the floor before
him and lowered his head "Saes my lady, forgive me this intrusion...I
have no intention of harming you and will leave your chamber at once"
The young elleth narrowed her eyes "Are you a...warrior?"
Gildor swallowed hard "I have not been for some time...I am a wanderer
of
The Ones creation...may I attempt to leave with peace between us my
lady?"
Miradel blinked as she clenched her fists "Go...get out then!"
The elven lord quickly turned, then pulled on the latch. His eyes
widening instantly as he inwardly groaned 'Oh...not good'
Miradel watched as the elf tried several times to pull it open and
realized that the door was locked. Gildor slowly turned to apologize
to her and startled when he saw that she was now standing directly
behind
"Mmy lady, the door is..."
"Locked"
"Aye my lady"
"I do Not want you in here!"
Gildor pressed himself back against the door "I can appreciate that my
lady, however, it seems that the door has other plans"
Miradel leaned close, then reached and took his blade form his belt.
Noticing that the warrior made no attempt to stop her, she held out her
other hand "Give me the one in your boot"
Gildor slowly lifted his leg, removed it, then handed it over "I truly
do not wish you harm...saes, I know lord Cirdan...and chief advisor
Erestor...the only reason I am here right now...well, I was caught with
my lover and his adar did not approve and..."
"You lay with ellons?"
"Aye my lady, I do not find elleths apealing...do not get me wrong, you
are fair, but you have the wrong...err...parts to my liking"
Miradel arched her brow as she smirked "What is your name warrior?"
"Gi...Gildor my lady, and as I said, I am not a warrior, I am a
wanderer"
"Gypsy"
"Aye my lady, So I have been called on occasion"
Miradel took a step back "You have a smooth tongue...who is your lover"
"Prince Legolas of Mirkwood...for some years now, though in
secret...his
adar dislikes me greatly"
"Why, are you not honorable?"
"I am...tho he does not care for my family tree"
Miradel slowly put some distance between them and tilted her head "Why,
what is wrong with your lineage?"
Gildor swallowed hard and inwardly prayed "The branch I stem from is
honorable...however, due to deeds performed by other branches of my
tree, grudges are held"
The young elleth turned and furrowed her brow "What deeds did your
other kin perform?"
Gildor took a deep breath, then lowered his head and whispered
"Ki...kinslaying my lady"
Miradel stilled "I am Telrian"
"As I said my lady, my branch is honorable...what type of elf you are
matters not to me...have you a quill and parchment?"
The young elleth tilted her head "Why"
"Well, your reputation proceeds you my lady, I would like to write my
love a few words"
Miradel snorted and shook her head "I am not going to attack you...you
prefer ellons, so I am assuming I have nothing to fear from you...or am
I assuming wrong"
"You assume correctly my lady, you need not fear me"
~*~*~
Glorfindel, Erestor, Cirdan, the twins and Melpomaen had just sat
down for mid day meal when Elrond and a young guard ran into the room
"Erestor, Cirdan! Tul! Thranduil just through Gildor into Miradels
chamber!"
Everyone leapt form the table and ran toward the healing wing, save
Mel, who split off and headed down another hallway. As they approached
the door, they noticed Thranduil, both hands on the handle, and his
foot on the wall, yanking hard on the door. The elven king continued to
pull as he looked over and yelled to the approaching group "The door is
stuck! I only meant to frighten him, then extract him! Help!"
Elrond noticed the panic in his loves eyes "How long has he been in
there!"
Thranduil backed away to let Elrond at the door "I...I heard talking
for a few...I think she yelled at him to get out...I heard
nothing. I...I came upon him pleasuring Legolas...I...I lost my mind
and...and I dragged him here by his hair and...oh Valar help me what
have I done! Help Elrond! Get the door open!"
Elrond paused for moment, then placed his hand on Thranduils shoulder
"Calm down now Thran, I do not sense death behind this door...only
life. He lives still" The elven lord then turned to Glorfindel "Once
you force the door, quickly step aside and let Erestor in...it would be
best that she sees him first"
Glorfindel nodded and only a moment later, the door was broken and
forced open. Erestor swiftly entered, followed by Cirdan and Elrond.
Turning to his right, Erestor spied his sister "Mira? Where is he".
"He is in the privy...did you know that lord Gildor prefers males?"
Feeling very relieved, Erestor lightly chuckled "Aye Mira, I knew this.
Are you alright?"
The young elleth nodded as she sighed "I am well from the encounter, I
was frightened at first, he has the build of a warrior, but I found him
to be just a peaceful gypsy"
Cirdan couldn't help but smile at her calm demeanor "Tell me my dear,
how are you feeling with everyone else in here?"
Miradel glanced at the doorway and noticed the twins, Thranduil and the
elf that was laying naked atop her brother the week earlier and thought
'Glorfindel...aiya, his is a massive elf...even more so with his
clothes on', then looked back to Cirdan "I am alright, though I think
they should stay over there".
Everyone suddenly turned as the door to the privy opened and Gildor
strolled out "Ahh, I thought I heard others"
Miradel smiled and drew close to him, then glanced at the door and
sighed "Hello Mel...goodness, perhaps we should call for Lindir, this
is becoming a gathering"
Gildor snorted, then blinked and leaned close to her ear and whispered.
The young elleth then looked back at the door and smiled at the blond
who was peering in "You may enter, you are Legolas?"
Thranduil spun, but kept silent as his son bolted past him and into
Gildors arms "When Mel came to get me I...I was so frightened that you
would be..."
Gildor kept a keen eye fixed on Thranduil as he smoothed his loves hair
"That Miradel would have sent me back to you in pieces?"
Legolas nodded into his neck and Elladan leaned close to his brother
"Seems our best friend has been holding out on us, had you known he was
seeing Gildor? Or anyone?" Elrohir shook his head just as shocked *Nay,
though it explains why he was always in a good mood when Gildor was
near*.
Erestor watched his sister closely, then looked to Elrond when he saw
her shudder slightly "I think it is time for us to leave, it has been a
long day for my sister"
Elladan lightly inclined his head "Have a pleasant and relaxing
remainder of your day Miradel" He then looked at his brother and smiled
as he looked back at her "Elrohir says, Should you ever find yourself
out of your chamber and see us, saes, do not hesitate to say hello. We
are trustworthy"
Elrond smiled proudly as his sons left, both of them yanking Melpomaen
out with them.
Thranduil took a small step forward and lowered his gaze "I apologize
Miradel, I was not thinking...I let my fear and anger overtake me, I do
not normally loose control like that but...he was touching my youngest,
the last precious gift that my wife gave me and...I apologize for the
stress I have caused you" Thranduil then looked to Gildor and sighed,
"Gildor, no matter how much I do Not want you to be with my Legolas, I
should never have placed you in that type of danger, for my actions, I
am sorry" The Mirkwood king then walked to the door "Tul Legolas".
Legolas took a deep breath, bowed respectfully to Miradel, gave Gildor
a kiss on the cheek, then followed his father out the door.
Gildor watched his love leave, then sighed "Miradel, when I first
entered your chamber, I feared for my life. I am more then pleased to
find that I am leaving with peace between us, and a new friendship
blossoming. Remember what we discussed and you will be fine. I will be
sure to visit you when I am able".
After the elven lord gave her a kiss on the cheek and left, Miradel
looked at Erestor, Cirdan and Elrond "Oh he is a smooth tongued
scoundrel...I like him"
Elrond smiled as he drew close "I am very proud of you my dear. You
handled this wonderfully. I think you are ready, would you like to
speak with Glorfindel now?"
The seneschal slowly walked up next to Erestor and inclined his head
"Miradel, I hope that trust may form between us in time"
"You are a massive elf"
Glorfindel smiled kindly "We were build a little bigger back in
Gondolin"
"You still...you still make me nervous"
The seneschal placed his hand on Erestors shoulder and nodded "Then I
should leave your chamber, when you are ready and able to handle me
within the same room, I will be more then happy to speak with you"
Miradel watched closely as Erestor walked him to the door "You have
been more then patient and understanding...hannon le"
Glorfindel smiled and arched his brow "Does that mean I get a kiss? I
would like one of your special kisses"
The young elleth smiled as her brother blushed and gave him a peck on
the lips, then tilted her head when the huge warrior smirked and shook
his head......
"That was not your special kiss"
"I do not have a "special kiss" Findel what are you talking about"
"Aye, you do and I will not leave until I receive it...must I remind
you that I know your tickle spot? Tul now my shy rabbit"
Miradel sighed as her baby brother wrapped his arms around the huge
warrior "Perhaps You should kiss Me, for I am not remembering this
kiss...did I do this when I was drunk?"
Glorfindel snorted "Aye you did, so I will let it go...but of course I
can not deny you, so prepare yourself for my lips"
Erestor rolled his eyes "Gildor is not the only scoundrel in
Imladris...you are wicked, I can just imagine how much trouble you were
as an elfling"
As Glorfindel snorted, then gave him his kiss, Cirdan smiled and leaned
close to Miradel "Do you see how playful he is? He cares deeply for
your brother"
Miradel sighed as the golden warrior left, then hugged her brother "He
does seem different then other warriors, tell me little brother, I want
to hear it from your lips...do you love this warrior?"
Erestor took a deep breath "When I found out that I was bound to him, I
was absolutely terrified. though now, my heart warms at just the
thought of him".
Out in the hall, Glorfindel choked and wiped his eyes as he thought 'Oh
my dark husband, you do not know how much your comment lifts me.
Tonight will be extra special my shy rabbit, extra special indeed"
~*~*~
Legolas sat on the edge of his bed "You are leaving then?"
Gildor sat down next to him and sighed "Aye my love, your adar knows
now and I feel it to be wise that I take my leave for a while"
"Fo...for how long this time?"
"Oh my precious prince, do not look at me thusly, it breaks my heart to
see tears from you"
Legolas wiped his eyes "How can I not, I feel this parting is
different...I want you to return to me"
Gildor gently caressed his cheek "It feels different because your adar
now knows. Worry not my love, we have been successfully hiding our love
for fifty-seven years, we shall see each other again, only death could
keep me from you, we will figure out a way...tho I must admit, I am
actually a little relieved that we have been exposed, for I have wanted
to kiss you and hold your hand before others for a very very long time.
You are my love...my life, I have always hated the hiding. Let some
time pass. I will return and get word to you like I always have...never
doubt that I will return to you my precious little prince"
~*~*~
A few hours later, Elrond ran into Gildor as he made his way down the
hall and sighed when he noticed the lord was carrying his satchel and
bag "You are leaving then"
"Aye lord Elrond, I would like to thank you for your hospitality"
"Thranduil is sorry for what he did, he knows he went to far...give him
time Gildor...right now he has locked himself away in my chamber,
though only after I forced him there by his ear, he was originally in
his guest room, he feared I would reconsider our new relationship
because of his actions"
Gildor chucked "I hope his fear is unwarranted, I think you two make a
fine couple. I hold no ill will toward the king, he found me being
intimate with Legolas and the shock of it sent him over the edge...I
actually expected him to beat me, or throw me in a hole and fill it in"
Elrond snorted as he placed a comforting hand on his shoulder "You are
always welcome in Imladris Gildor, even with Thranduil here, never
hesitate in returning"
"Hannon le lord Elrond, you are very kind"
As they began to part ways, Elrond turned back "Oh...Gildor, I wondered
if you would share with me how long you have been seeing Legolas?"
The elven lord smiled "Fifty-seven years...exclusively" then turned and
disappeared down the hall.
Elrond stood and thought for a moment 'Legolas is one hundred and
five...that would mean that they were together Before his majority?
Ooo, I think I will leave that part of the conversation out for now
when I speak with Thran'.
~*~*~
Later that evening everyone sat down to evening meal and waited for
Legolas to arrive. Thranduil blinked concerned when the guard they sent
to retrieve his son returned alone, carrying a piece of parchment with
him.
Thranduil took the note and quickly looked to Elrond "He has fled to
find Gildor! Elrond! He...he needs to be sent after! He should not be
out there alone! What if he tracks him wrong and does not find him!
Legolas is Not a tracker!"
Elladan quickly leaned forward "I will go after him Thranduil" then
looked to his brother "though you can not accompany me Roh, your wounds
are not healed fully...I will need a tracker"
Orophin blinked, then jumped to his feet "Rumil will go with you!"
Haldir swiftly grabbed his brother and narrowed his eyes "What?! Nay!"
Orophin pushed away his brothers hand "Rumil is one of the best
trackers in arda as prince Legolas is the best archer and you know it,
besides, prince Elladan is fierce, he will protect Rumil!"
Rumil sat silently as his heart raced and thought 'Me? Alone with
Elladan? Out in the wild? Without Haldir there?'. Rumil slowly stood
and smiled at Elladans shocked but hopeful face "I will go and retrieve
prince Legolas and lord Gildor with you prince Elladan"
Haldir groaned as he dropped his head into his hands and Thranduil
nodded "Hannon le, both of you, return swiftly and safely".
