The Fire Dance

Authors Note:

----------

Githoniel - Im glad your enjoying the pairings, I like to place my
elves with those that are not of the norm...yeah, a stiff wind and
Rumil equals fresh leggings! HA! Well, at least if Elladan was there
*Smirks*...:)

----------

Nikkiling - *Snort* Yeah, theirs Cirdan, laying face down on his bed
getting his arse tended to while others just come-on-in, I would
personally be redder then a beet. I hear ya on the loosing inspiration.
When I write, I have an idea of what I want, but no true direction on
where it will go. My hand takes the pen and I look back after several
pages and am like...huh, ok I guess Im adding another pairing. It does
put the risk of me loosing inspiration, that is always in the back of
my head. All I can say is hang in there, its odd how all of a sudden
your driving down the street and it hits you...:)

----------

Ertia - Yikes, yeah, Cirdan was a little to eager for his lovely
Elrohir ay? *Snort* And yes, I do not do Het...no Het...though I think
you are right about her at least finding a...friend shall we say...:)

----------

TopazKat - Yeah, Elrohir is forcing out some vibrating sound. They say
love heals all, well, we shall see how well it does heal. And yes, I
like a fierce fighting yet tender Elladan...:)

----------

Anon - I hear you...the majority of my storys are being betad right now
and will be reposted when I get them back. This story is being betad as
I write it and will be reposted when done. When I started this
story, it was supose to be a one shot, then I decided to challenge
myself with a multi pairing...When I write, I have an idea of what I
want, but no true direction on where it will go. My hand takes the pen
and I look back after several pages and am like...huh, ok I guess Im
adding another pairing. Sorry Im loosin you, Im trying several
diffrent things with this story to learn some stuff. I do use
spellcheck, but sometimes I grab the wrong word becouse Im a fanetic
speller, and my spell check does not do puntuation, I do this thru my
mail becouse my Word got corupted...again, sorry this is giving you
probs. I will say tho, my
next story is going to be betad before its posted....:)

Authors Note 2: Im sorry it took me so long to update, my coworker went
on vacation and then I got what feels like the Bubonic Plauge...Im a
little better now, so I hope this chap is coherent... ~DarkDreamer





The Fire Dance





Ch34





Two days had past and everyone sat down to morning meal. Elrond
displaying
a pleased smile when he glanced over to Miradel, who was siting between
Erestor and Lindir "I am most proud of you Miradel, you are holding
well"

The young elleth looked around at all the warriors at the table and
mentally took note 'Glorfindel, Tree...err...Orophin, that Haldir
brother of his, king Thranduil, prince Elrohir', then sighed "Well, I
am trying"

Cirdan looked over and nodded "And that is all one can do"

Miradel shifted in her seat and smirked "So my lord Cirdan...how is
your arse fairing?"

After the choking chuckles calmed, Cirdan snorted "Well, I am sitting
on a pillow right now...though with my dear Elrohirs care, I am healing
well"

As the meal progressed, Miradel watched carefully, every movement that
any of the warriors made was noticed and she finally left her gaze on
Orophin and Haldir. There was only one sweet roll left on their end of
the table, and she tilted her head as Haldir jabbed his elbow into
Orophins ribs as they both reached for it. Her new friend Tree smirked,
and seconds later, Haldir winced from an apparent foot attack under the
table.

The two brother then jumped when another sweet roll came flying into
view, landing next to other, and Glorfindel leaned forward "Daro you
elflings or I will be forced to separate you two like the last time!"

A short time later, Glorfindels Second entered the room "My lord?"

Elrond quickly glanced to Miradel when he noticed him enter, then
nodded "Aye?"

Erestor slowly took his sisters hand "That is Glorfindels Second, he is
kind"

After receiving the information that the warrior whispered to him,
Elrond swiftly stood and stepped away from the table "I think we should
all go the Hall of Fire, it seems that Elladan and Rumil have returned
with Legolas and Gildor"

Miradel bit her lip as she stood with the others "The...the Hall of
Fi...Fire?"

Erestor then blinked concerned when Glorfindel swiftly took her hand
and
placed it on his Seconds arm "I charge you with the care of this
elleth, escort her to wherever she wishes, and if that is to join us in
the Hall of Fire, have patience with her fears"

As Glorfindel walked away, his Second furrowed his brow, then smiled
kindly as he glanced over to the elleth attached to his arm "My lady, I
am Huradel. Would you care to join them? Or do you have another
destination in mind"

Miradel swallowed hard and began to walk "I wish to be with Erestor"

On their way to the Hall, Huradel worried his brow "May...may I know
your name my lady?"

"Miradel"

"Ahh, I was beginning to think it was you. It has been some time since
I have seen you"

The young elleth looked over and tilted her head "Have we met before
this?"

"Aye Lady Miradel, when you first arrived here from the Gray Havens. I
was trying to help and you hit me after I introduced myself to you. I
believe you yelled, "Just because our names are similar, does not mean
I trust you", then you broke my jaw"

Miradels eyes widened "I...I broke your jaw?"

Huradel smiled as he nodded, then motioned to the others. When she
looked over, she then realized that she had been standing in the Hall
of Fire for almost their entire conversation.

~*~*~

Elrond rolled his eyes as Legolas began to turn an odd shade of blue
"Thran, let him breath...Thran!"

The Mirkwood king ignored everything around him as he buried his face
in his sons neck "Do not Ever do that again! Ever!"

"Adar..."

"Ever! Do you hear me? Do you know how worried I have been?!"

"Adar saes, let...let go now you are crushing my very fea"

Thranduil slowly stepped back, then turned his gaze to Gildor. The
elven
lord stood tall as the king swiftly approached, then blinked in shock
as
he was pulled into a crushing hug "Hannon le for keeping him safe!"

Gildor choked as he tried to gain a breath "We...were
never...in...danger...my lord"

Elrond slowly walked over and pried Thranduil from him "Alright Thran
alright, daro now"

Thranduil took a deep breath as he watched his son move to stand next
to the lord and sighed "I approve, alright Legolas? I approve of your
being with Gildor. Just...saes, do not flee like that again".

As everyone made themselves comfortable, and the four returnees were
told of the happenings that occurred while they were gone, Haldir
noticed some odd looks being shared between his youngest brother and
elder twin.

Trying to remain as clam as possible, Haldir motioned for Elladan to
follow him. The elder twin nodded, then released a nervous breath as he
joined Haldir on the balcony.....

"You and Elrohir are identical in every way correct?"

"Aye Haldir"

"Well, that tells me you did not have at Rumil then, because he still
has
the ability to walk"

Elladan narrowed his eyes as he crossed his arms "Nay Haldir, I have
not had at him...yet...at least, not like that"

Haldirs eyes widened and he nervously licked his lips "What do you
mean,
not like that"

Arching his brow, Elladan leaned back against the railing "There are
many other ways to express affection Haldir, I would think you would
know that...and do Not give me that look, I am in love with Rumil and
if I never get the chance to have at him, that will be alright with
me...for he is gentle and..."

"Gentle? What are you saying"

Elladan sighed as he looked at his friend "You and I have been friends
for a long time Haldir. You know me. You know my likes and dislikes,
and what I look for in a relationship. We have fought together, ate
together, and lain together on the same flet...as friends of course.
Does it truly surprise you that I have fallen in love with Rumil? Is he
not everything I have ever expressed wanting when we sat as fellows at
a fire and spoke of our wishes? He has finally come of age and...and I
would never hurt him purposely Haldir, you know me"

Haldir lowered his gaze and shook his head "You are right, I know you.
I know you to be one of my best friends and a most honorable elf. I
know I over react...alot. But you must understand, I was placed in
charge of caring for my brothers when our parents sailed. There grief
was to deep to stay and they worried over Rumil. Orophin they did not
worry so much for, they said he would be alright, and that I would be
as well. But they worried over Rumil...greatly. I know not why, the
only thing they did say was that he was a special elf and rare among
our kind, and that I should watch over him with great care"

Haldir then let out a long sigh "I can think of no other elf I would
want Ru to be with, you are a good match for him, I know this. It is
just hard for me to let go after so long of caring for him. After all,
he was just learning to walk when our Adar and Naneth sailed. Not only
is he my brother, but he is in a way like a son to me as well"

Both Elladan and Haldir looked over as Rumil entered the balcony "I
love him Hal...saes, be happy for me?"

Watching as his younger brother walked over to Elladan and wrapped his
arms around his waist, Haldir nodded "I am happy for you Ru, but I fear
for you as well"

Rumil furrowed his brow "Fear for me? Why would my being in love cause
you fear"

Haldir arched his brow as he walked over "Oh, tis not love that makes
me fear..." The marchwarden then swiftly grabbed Elladans sacks and
member in one hand and squeezed "It is This that I fear for you"

Elladan winced as he tried to gain his breath "Haldir...enough...let go"

"Let go? Oh I will let go when you promise me that this impressive meat
will not enter my little brother hastily, and that you go to lord
Cirdan for his guidance. He may not have taken care upon himself, but
he is helping king Thranduil in this mater with your adar. So swear it"

"I swear!"

Haldir smirked as he released his friend, then looked over to Rumil
"Take care Ru, do not rush this. You have only to look upon lord Cirdan
to know that the Peredhil Three are not to be underestimated in the
bedchamber"

Elladan snorted as he arched his brow "The Peredhil Three?"

The three warriors quickly glanced over to the opening of the balcony
"Aye, we seem to have been given a pet name"

Elladan smiled, then lightly winced "Adar, I think Haldir broke me"

Elrond rolled his eyes, then chuckled as he motioned for them to return
to the Hall "I am sure you are fine, tul now, Lindir is going to play
for us"
