The Fire Dance







Ch60





Five years had passed...................

Elrond panted loudly as Thranduil slowly thrust into him, his body
quivering as he was filled "Mmm...Th...Thraaaannnn..."

The elven king smiled as he gently kissed and nibbled on Elronds
shoulder blades "You know...my lovely Rondy...we Really Should
thank...Cirdan for creating that evil...brew...we would probably still
be...just regular friends if not...for him...I do not remember ever
th...thanking him..."

"I gave him my...youngest, I think...that is thanks enough"

Thranduil snorted, then flipped all of Elronds hair into his face and
picked up the pace.

Haldir woke from his nap and stretched. Heading into the main chamber,
he smiled and gave Mel a kiss on the cheek, then looked around and
furrowed his brow "Where is Ormeril?"

Melpomaen stiffened a little "Oh when you were taking a nap your
brother Rumil came for a visit and mentioned that he and Elladan were
going to take Thorvel and Thoron on an outing and offered to take
Ormeril with them"

"What?!"

"Now calm down Haly Rumil and Elladan are good parents and will not let
anything happen to her"

Haldir wrung his hands, then shook his head "If anything happens to our
little flower I will...I..."

Mel dropped his book and jumped up from the long chair as Haldir ran
from the chamber "Haly!" then ran after him.

~*~*~

Rumil smiled as he leand against Elladan, then sighed "This was such a
lovely outing"

"Was? Tis not over yet my sweet one"

Rumil sat straight, then looked over at the little elleth "When Haldir
finds out we have her, this outing will come to an end. You know how he
has been with her...he even confuses Me on how he is raising her. One
moment, he will not let anyone near her, the next, he gives her a
dagger for her begetting day and teaches her a kill strike" Rumil shook
his head "Somehow I get the feeling that when she is older, she will
not be relaxing in the Hall of Falls, instead, she will be relaxing in
the Hall of Fire"

Elladan snorted, then took a deep breath as he glanced at his sons and
noted that they were a good foot taller then Ormeril "Agreed, she has
already beat up Ron. By the by, I spoke to Adar. He says that the
reason they have grown so quickly is due to the ring as well. But he
also says they are slowing down and should resume a normal growth rate
soon"

Rumil and Elladan watched as Vel, Ron and Ormeril played amongst the
flowers, then cringed..........

"Ormeril!"

Seeing her father approaching, she quickly ran to the nearest tree and
scampered up it.

Halting at the base of the tree, Haldir looked up as he crossed his
arms "Come down from there this instant!"

"Nay!"

"Ormeril!"

"Nay I want to play with Vel and Ron Ada said I could play and I want
to play why cant I play Adar there is no danger here and I do have my
dagger with me and uncle Elladan has his sword!"

Melpomaen slowly approached Rumil and Elladan, then whispered "I was
certain that the sleeping draft I slipped him would have kept him down
for longer"

Rumil snorted "Tis alright Mel, it is close to midday meal anyway"

Haldir narrowed his eyes, then placed his hand on one of the branches
"Are you going to force me to come up there to get you?"

"Aye!"

Mel lowered his head and sighed as Haldir leapt into the tree "Oh no..."

Elladan chuckled as the branches dipped and leaves rustled, then arched
his brow when he heard tiny screams and squeals, followed by Haldirs
comment "Come back here!"

Rumil chuckled as he shook his head, then whispered "Been there, there
is no escaping Hal"

Mel, Elladan and Rumil watched at Haldir dropped down from the tree
with Ormeril securely tucked under his arm "Adar!"

"Quiet you!"

"But Adar I had permission from Ada" The little elleth then looked over
to her friends "Vel Ron help me saes help!"

Elladan and Rumil gasped as their sons quickly ran over and tackled
Haldir to the ground, then grabbed Ormerils hands and took off.

After he regained his breath, Haldir walked over "Alright, which way
did they run"

Melpomaen crossed his arms "I haven't the faintest clue"

"Mel"

"Do not "Mel" me Haly she was perfectly safe and enjoying herself until
you came now I suggest that we go to the dinning hall for midday meal I
know where they have run off to and they will be perfectly safe"

"But..."

Mel held up his hand "Eh!"

Haldir sighed and pulled Mel close "Very well my love. If you know
where they are, and say it is safe, then I will trust your judgment.
The only thing I ask, is that next time you let others take our little
flower, saes, let me know. I did not get to say good-bye before she
left. I woke and found her missing...that was not fair"

As Mel and Haldir began to walk away, Rumil dropped his jaw "He...he
would have let us take her? He...he trusts..."

Elladan rolled his eyes as Rumil began to sniff "Are you going to weep
now?"

*Smack*  "Nay!"

Elladan rubbed his bicep and chuckled "Well, it would have been nice of
Mel to at least tell Us where they were headed"

Glorfindel looked up from his needlework when he heard 2 doors open,
then close. Walking into the receiving chamber, he tilted his head and
looked at the spare room door when he heard a muffled "Shh"

Opening the door, he smiled "Well well...Vel, Ron and Ormeril"

Thorvel stepped close and sighed "May we hide in your and uncle
Erestors chamber?"

The seneschal snorted and motioned for them to enter "But of course my
penneths...who are you hiding from?"

Vel and Ron: ""Uncle Haldir""

Ormeril: "Adar"

"Mmmm...I see. And what parent knows you are here?"

Ormeril smiled "My Ada"

After they all settled by the fireplace, Ormeril bit her lip confused
"You do needlework?"

Glorfindel smiled as he placed her on his lap "Aye, that I do. It takes
great concentration...it keeps the mind sharp and the fingers limber. I
am taking lessons from one of the maidens in the quilting guild"

Vel and Ron gave each other a look, then moved closer ""We hear that
you go to the Hall of Falls regularly""

"Aye"

""What is it like in there""

Handing each of the elflings an apple, the seneschal smiled kindly
"Oh...I can not divulge such information. Now eat your apples"
