The Fire Dance





Ch40





Huradel rolled over, then startled slightly as his eyes came into focus
"Mm...Miradel?"

"Aye, fair morning warrior Huradel"

The commander stretched and let out a long sigh as he looked at the
young elleth standing next to his bed "Morning? Valar Mira Anar has not
even begun to peek over the horizon...and how did you get into my
chamber, I know I locked the door"

"I picked the lock. I need your help with carrying some things"

"Now?"

"Aye warrior now"

The commander sat up, his sheet falling to reveal his bare chest "Well
if you need help, then you may wish to turn away, I sleep naked and
must get dressed...what do you need carried and to where"

Miradel looked at his bare muscled chest and swallowed nervously "I
uh...all my belongings...to here"

Huradel shook his head, sure he heard wrong "Your things...to my
chamber?"

"Aye, I am moving in with you"

"What?"

"I said, I am moving in with you, now get up and get coverd...there is
much to carry"

"Wait Mira, are you serious?"

"Aye"

The commander quickly got out of the bed, hurried into his sleep pants,
grabbed his night robe and ran
after the young elleth. Once he caught up to her in the hall, he gently
grabbed her elbow "Mira, wait now...do you believe this wise? I am a
warrior and...and I have been alone a long time and...and I am very set
in my ways. I walk naked through my chamber and..."

"Hur...I am moving in and that is that, now let us get my things"

Huradel blinked in shock as she just walked away and thought 'Hur? I am
Hur now? Valar how did this happen! Well, at least I can see where
master Erestor gets his...er...forceful demeanor from'

When they reached Miradels chamber, the commander looked around and
noticed that everything was already packed "Your bed and other
furniture
I will need help with, but these other things I can do on my own...and
this should all fit in my guest chamber with little problems...are you
sure you want to..."

"I will not be taking my bed"

"You are having a new one delivered then?"

Miradel looked over, then slowly leaned and placed a tiny kiss on
Huradels cheek "Your bed is big enough"

The commander dropped his jaw and Miradel grabbed a bag "Tul Hur, let
us
get started"

Elrond stood over Rumils sleeping form, then rubbed his head and
glared at his head healer "You ever do that to me again Ill..."

"You will do nothing my lord, you created the ScratchThorn for elves
that were loosing control, and you lost control. You hit Elladan"

Elrond looked over to the chair that his eldest had fallen asleep in
and sighed "I...I lightly grazed him"

"You hit him"

"Grazed"

"Hit"

*Growling mumble* "Fine I hit him...and I lost control. Where is
Thranduil"

"He went to get you a change of clothing. My lord, the penneth is
waking"

Rumils eyes cleared and he lightly moaned "Wh...what happened"

Elrond smiled as he gently rubbed Rumils shoulder "You...you attacked
prince Legolas, after you expelled the contents of your stomach three
times"

Rumils eyes widened and he nervously bit his lower lip "I...I attacked
the prince of Mirkwood?"

Walking over, Thranduil arched his brow as he looked down at the young
warrior "Aye, you split his lip and gave him a bloody nose" then handed
the fresh clothes to Elrond.

Rumil blinked in shock and tried to sit up "I am so sorry my lord! I
would never..."

Thranduil held up his hand and smiled "Eh, daro now...Legolas is fine,
and not upset about it"

With their voices gaining normal volume, Elladan blinked and woke.
Realizing that Rumil was up, he jumped to his side "Ru, my sweet Ru are
you alright?"

The young warrior sighed as he was pulled into Elladans arms "I am
alright Ella, what happened, is there something wrong with me? All I
remember is getting sick at the table"

Elrond leaned close and sighed "You may wish to lay back down penneth,
I have some news to tell you"

~*~*~

Cirdan released the handle to the door and stepped back when he heard a
shriek from the other side.......

"IM WHAT?!"

The ancient lord smirked as he thought 'Well, I guess they told him',
then opened the door and walked in.

When he approached the table, he noticed that the young warriors eyes
were wet with fearful tears as he choked "How can this be I am male are
you sure am I going to die I do not understand where will it grow how
will it come out Where will it come out..."

The head healer clamped his hand over the young warriors mouth "Valar,
you sound like Melpomaen! Calm yourself"

Cirdan chuckled, drew close, then began to gently massage Rumils
stomach "Relax penneth, you will be fine. You are a special and rare
young ellon. You obviously inherited this blessing from an ancestor"

"Blessing? I....Im...Im..."

"With life my penneth, and you will be fine"

Rumil dropped his head back down and began to weep "Haldir is going to
kill me!"

~*~*~

A few hours later............

Legolas, Gildor, Orophin and Lindir sat in the kitchen eating their mid
day meal.

As the four of them chatted away about Rumil, Gildor suddenly fanned
the air before his nose "Uduns breath! What is that smell!"

Crabanwen walked over and removed the cloth from her nose and mouth
"Rumil has requested something to eat"

Orophin shook his head "My eyes are stinging, what did he ask for!"

The elleth smiled "Steamed fish, and a specific sauce to go over it"

Lindir furrowed his brow as he pinched his nose "Eww...what is in the
sauce!"

Crabanwen re-coverd her nose and mouth with the cloth "The sauce is
made from ground up turnips, onions, beets, cauliflower, carrots
and...and cheese"

Gildor glanced over to Orophin and shook his head "Your brother is
insane, is he Trying to kill the elfling within him?"

The middle brother of three shrugged "Actually, this smell is faintly
familiar, I think our naneth ate this when Rumil was within her"

The four of them silently shuddered, then Lindir blinked with a thought
and looked over at Orophin "Tree? If you have this life barring ellon
in your line, could not this ability have been passed to Haldir...and
you as well?"

Orophin choked "Ooo bite your tongue! Can you imagine Haldir pregnant?
He is moody enough!"

Legolas snorted and leaned back "Come now, you Know he has submitted to
Mel. If Haldir has not become pregnant by now, I would think that he
would not", the prince then leaned forward, "However, you Phin have
never been with a ellon. So I would be careful if I were you Lindir,
you best treat your Tree with care, do not plant any...er...seeds, or
you may have a sapling on your hands!"

The young minstrel blushed crimson and Orophin narrowed his eyes "Shut
up Legolas"
