Forbidden Falls


Ch48


Glorfindel kept his eyes to the ground and took a deep breath as the male came closer "Stand before me Glorfindel of Gondolin, lord of the House of the Golden Flower, and seneschal of Imladris...for I have knowledge about a particular Firstborn that you seek to punish"

Glorfindel slowly stood, kept his eyes down and remained silent.

The golden warrior slightly trembled as the the tall male came even closer "You seek the Halls of Mandos, but you shall not travel there. Return to your tender love and rest in the knowledge that Mandos himself found no remorse in the Firstborn Thalos, and therefore denied him entry. He waits nowhare...rests not...and is no more"

Glorfindel took a deep breath, closed his eyes, slowly placed his trembling hand to his heart, and bowed as he whispered "Ha...Hannon le hir-nin"

When the seneschal opened his eyes, he blinked several times when he realized that he was now standing just outside the dinning hall. The golden warrior took a deep breath, then pushed open the doors and walked in.

Everyone turned and Mirduin blinked with fear as the seneschal slowly approached "Glorfindel wh...where did you go...I was so worried I...I thought I had driven you away I..."

Glorfindel gently smiled, reached down, picked up his distraught love and placed him on his lap "Shhh...worry not, you could never drive me away...shh...calm down now my dear one...do you love me?"

Mirduin blinked, and then blushed as he whispered through his smile "Nai Glorfindel...I love you"

The seneschal pulled him tight and kissed his temple "Good! For I love you as well...and you need not worry about running into Thalos in Mandos or Valinor"

Everyone gave him a confused look and Glorfindel sighed "I went to Forbidden Falls and was about to send myself back to Mandos so that I could confront that cursed elf but..."

Mirduin gasped and suddenly smacked the golden warrior on the chest "What?! You...you were going to go back? Just to...just to..."

Glorfindel quickly held him close and nuzzled his loves neck "Shh...calm now my dear one, calm yourself...someone came and spoke to me before I had a chance to do anything and..."

Mirduins eyes flew wide "Wh...who was it...did...did you see Mandos again?"

Elrond blinked when the seneschal shook his head "Then who my old friend...who did you see"

Glorfindel repeated what the tall male said and Legolas lightly gasped "You mean...he is gone? Thalos not be in Valinor when we go?"

The seneschal smiled and nodded as he let Mirduin up and joined him "If you will excuse us, Mirduin and I have some things to discuss"

As they walked to the door, Glorfindel glanced over at one of the paintings and then turned back to Elrond "Iar melon, you may wish to take that down and have it altered some..." Glorfindel then lightly shuddered "...it is not an entirely accurate portrayel of Manwe...he is...he is far more...err...impressive"

Elrond dropped his jaw as the golden warrior left, then looked to Thranduil, who in turn shook his head in shock "Leave it to Glorfindel to meet two Valar and live to tell about it...is it just me or did his hair look more golden"

As everyone silently nodded in agreement, the Mirkwood king sighed, glanced down at his and Haldirs interlocking fingers and thought 'Well, I guess it is time. Though...though I think...eh...shut up and stop over thinking this...comeon now just do it...stand and make the silent declaration, you want this arrogant penneth close and you know it...eh, wonderful, not I am talking to my self in the third...just do it Thran...just...'

Haldir turned and looked at Thranduil as the kings hand griped his more firmly, then realized that Thranduil was making to stand and thought 'He...he is not releasing me...others will see...'

The wardens heart pounded as the king stood and lightly inclined his head "Well...I...err...we are going for a walk, till midday then"

Before Haldir had a chance to stand, Thranduil began to walk, and as a result of the now crippling death grip the king had on him, Haldir was yanked from his chair causing it to scoot loudly.

After they had left, Legolas looked over to Erintur and chuckled "Adar is nervous"

Erintur smiled and nodded "Agreed...by the by little brother...you just called him Adar, and I notice that you are using fuller sentences, you seem to be slowly getting back to normal...so are you understanding what I am saying right now?"

After a moment, Legolas blinked and nodded "Nai, getting better" The prince then glanced over to Erestor "Chief advisor say some time back that you would help me?"

Erestor inclined his head and spoke slowly "When you feel ready prince Legolas, you seek me out and I shall begin my tutoring. But I will wait until you come to me, it must be your idea and you must be ready"
