Lady cel - Oh you are sharp! Dang! When you reviewd the part about
Thran staying so long, I went back to the chap where he and Elrond were
on the balcony and Thran was talking backward...I read over the chap
and realized that I totaly left out the paragraph where Thranduil
mentions that his FirstBorn was running things for a
while...Argh!...well, I will have to put something in this or the next
chap mentoning that...Thank you very much my dear sharp reader, that
will be rectified...:)

The Fire Dance





Ch57





Elladan and Rumil arrived at the healing wing only to find out that
Glorfindel had abducted their elflings "Adar! How could you let him
leave with them!"

Thranduil stepped forward and sighed "Elrond was busy evaluating
Erestor. I am the one who watched them leave"

The elder twin narrowed his eyes "Why Thranduil, why would you allow
this"

"Because he is Glorfindel, who would your younglings be safer with. You
know Findel, he died defending the residents of his city, he will
certainly defend your younglings to the death"

Just as Elrond was about to comment, the door opened and Vel and Ron
ran
in ""Ada! Adar!""

Rumil grabbed and hugged them tight as Elladan crossed his arms "Where
did you take them"

Glorfindel sighed "To the kitchens for a snack, the poor things were
trapped in here with The Brow and were..."

Elladan quickly held up his hand as he shook his head "The what?"

Vel stepped to his father and chewed on his lower lip as he pointed to
Elrond "The Brow...uh...Daeradar"

Elrond smiled "What in Arda have you told them about me ion, the moment
I raised my brow in question they became frightened, and I mean truly
frightened"

Elladan shrugged "All I have ever mentioned about that particular
gesture, is that you often did it when Elrohir and I were
to...be...punished...oh Valar what have I done" he then looked over at
his sons as they played with the healing robes.

Elrond snorted and shook his head "Well, you have placed a fear upon
them...a fear of Me" Elrond then held up his finger "Watch"

Elladan watched as Elrond called the twins over, then arched his brow
as he questioned why they left with Glorfindel.

Rumil groaned as Vel and Ron quickly clutched to one another, then
gasped as Vel grabbed his brothers hand and yelled "Nay! Not The Brow!"
as they scrambled out the door and down the hall "Vel! Ron! Come back
here!!"

Rumil quickly ran into the hall, but the twins were nowhere in sight
"Elladan! They are gone!"

Everyone turned as they heard from the other side of the room "What
have you done now, you oversized elfling"

Glorfindel smiled as he walked over and wrapped his arm around Erestor
"My shy rabbit, you are awake...the little ones were right"

Elrond and Elladan tilted their heads and Elrond furrowed his brow
"What do you mean, they were right"

~*~*~

A few hours had passed and the little twins were still nowhere to be
found.......

~*~*~

Cirdan slowly walked through one of the gardens, then stopped and
picked up
a fallen leaf "The entire household is looking for you two, your Adar's
are sick with worry"

Receiving only silence, Cirdan sighed as he sat down on the bench "Did
not your Adar's teach you to heed your elders? Come down from there
this instant"

The leaves began to rustle and Cirdan smiled as Vel and Ron dropped
down and slowly approached "Well now, tis rather nice to finally meet
you
now that you have grown some. I was there when you entered this world"

Vel stepped a little closer and blinked in awe "You are...you are so
very old"

Ron nodded as he took his brothers hand "Aye, old and wise"

Cirdan smiled as he pulled them onto his lap, then sent a mental
message to Elrohir that he had found them and would bring them to
evening meal shortly.

The ancient lord then gave them a squeeze "Now tell me my penneth's,
why do you hide"

"The Brow!"

"Aye he frightens us"

"We want to ask for his help but..."

"...we are afraid"

Cirdan smiled as he looked at their worried faces "What is it you wish
his help with?"

"We see things"

"Its most annoying"

"How do we stop it"

"Or at least control it"

Thorvel suddenly sighed "Right now we see two ellyn, one very tall
laying upon his stomach...and one behind him with violet eyes...the one
laying is moaning as if in pain but he is not...they are happy. Who are
they, what are they doing"

Cirdan cleared his throat and smirked "That would be Orophin and
Lindir.
Orophin is your Ada's elder brother, and Lindir is his love"

Ron furrowed his brow "But what are they doing, we have heard these
noises before from behind Ada and Adar's door but have never been able
to see. Now we do see and we are confused...they are acting like the
huan we have seen outside our windows, is that what Ada and Adar are
doing behind their door?"

Cirdan snorted as he pulled them closer "This is a discussion you
should be having with your parents, tul now"

As they walked back with the eldar, Vel slowed, then sighed "Do you
know why we were not frightened to approach you?"

"Nay, why penneth"

"Because we have seen you as well. With uncle Elrohir. You were doing
as the two ellyn were...but you were also hitting our uncle. Though he
was not upset so we decided that perhaps he wanted you to do this...he
Did wish for you to hit him...right?"

Cirdan stopped and looked down at the twins, their eyes wide with
questions "I am your uncle Elrohirs lover and soon to be mate...and
aye, he wishes for me to do such things, as I like for him to do them
to me. You will understand such things when you are older. I seriously
suggest that you go to your Daeradar and learn about your visions...you
should not be seeing such events at such a tender age"

~*~*~

When Cirdan and the twins entered the dining hall, Vel and Ron paused
in their steps......

"Look at all the ellyn..and look, an elleth"

"Aye an elleth, Oooo"

Miradel giggled as the twins quickly walked over to her "Well hello
little ones"

"You are an elleth"

"Aye and you are...are...*Tilts head in thought*...uncle Erestors
sister"

Cirdan approached Elladan, Rumil and Elrond "We need to talk, your
younglings are seeing visions they ought not to be"

Elladan sighed, then quickly walked over and scooped them up "Tul now,
tis time to eat, you shall be joining all of us for evening meal, and
you will sit between your Ada and myself"
