The Fire Dance

Authors Note:

------------

Louise_oblique - Thank you very much, its nice to hear from you
again...how ya been?...:)

------------

TopazKat - Well, I was thinking, Mel and Rumil were born like this, so
the emotional changes would have been more natural...Glorfindel on the
other hand was "Messed with" by the Valar and would have a slightly
harder time...*Shrugs*...if that makes sense. And yeah, Ormeril seems
to already understand "Status" in her choices of "You are my mate
now"...*Snort*...:)

Tiryaroofshadow - HA!!!...'not-worksafe'-activities...Your funny!
*Snort*...And yes, poor Trodren...*Sigh*...:)

The Fire Dance





Ch65





A few weeks had passed.........

Orophin grabbed Vel and Ron "Daro you two or I shall tie you to the
chair!"

"But uncle Phin we want to go out!"

"Aye we want to go out!"

Standing in the doorway, holding Ormerils hand, Haldir lightly chuckled
"Troubles Phin?"

"Hal! Help me! Saes!"

The march warden shook his head as he smiled "Ohho...nay, you are on
your own"

Orophin worried his brow and blinked in fear as Haldir leaned down and
kissed Ormerils forehead "Now you be good for uncle Phin, and I will be
back within two hours"

*Nod* "Aye Adar I will behave and stay in the chamber unless of course
uncle Phin and uncle Lindir take us out"

As Ormeril ran into the chamber and joined her twin cousins, Orophin
briskly walked over to the door "Hal, nay I...I can Not watch her
she...I
never understand what she is saying...saes..."

Haldir held up his hand "I already spoke to her, she is going to try
and speak slower for you. Oh, and I should warn you...I mentioned to a
few that you have opened your chamber to the watching of elflings, you
may have a few more showing up"

Orophins eyes flew wide with panic "What?! Nay! Hal I was only to watch
the twins for Rumil I cant..."

Narrowing his eyes, Haldir leaned close and whispered firmly "You would
deny Mel and myself but two hours respite? After I raised you And your
brother? All by myself with no help I might add"

"But Hal..."

"And think of all the poor warriors who have little ones and need the
rest and comfort of their mates...you would deny them respite as well?
How are they to defend the borders of this fair realm when they are
weary and in need of some time alone with their loves"

Orophin blinked, then sighed heavily "Not fair Hal...that was low"

Haldir smirked as he turned to leave "Desperate times call for
desperate
measures
dear brother, I am sure you and Lindir can handle a few elflings"

~*~*~

When Lindir arrived at his intended's chamber and saw fourteen elflings
screaming and running about, it took all his strength not to turn and
flee.....

"Lindir! For the love of the Valar help me! Saes!"

"I thought you were to be watching only Vel and Ron"

Orophin grabbed and held the minstrel in a desperate hug, then
explained
what Haldir had done.

Rolling his eyes, Lindir wormed from his embrace, then sighed as he
smiled "Worry not Tree, I think we can handle this...and if we die
trying, I am sure that the Valar will have pity on us and send us to a
remote place in Valinor so we may recover"

Orophin took a shaky breath and nodded "Hannon le for not abandoning me"

Lindir looked into the room and arched his brow as he watched the group
of elflings for a moment, then looked back into his loves eyes and
sighed "You need never worry about my leaving you Tree, I fear you are
stuck with me...now...let us try and get this unruly bunch calmed"

~*~*~

Erestor looked over at his love and sighed as he watched him sitting on
the long chair "That is turning out beautifully my husband"

Glorfindel looked at the needlepoint in his hand and smiled sadly
"Thank you Rabbit, try not to stay away to long?"

Kneeling down in front of him, Erestor leaned
forward...*LickingKiss*..."I will return before you know it...I am
sorry that I must leave you for a time"

"I understand, Imladris still needs its Chief Advisor regardless of my
condition. I have placed Huradel in charge for a time, though I may go
and
visit the barracks a little later"

Erestor smiled as he nodded "Wise thought...I am sure that your fellows
miss you, and would like to see you"

After Erestor left their chamber, Glorfindel sighed. Getting up from
his chair, he slowly walked over to the spare room and opened the door.
The great slayers went directly to the portrait of him and his parents,
his eyes seeking out his mother. Taking a deep breath, his lower lip
wibbled..."I miss you so much...Nana, I could use some of your advice
right now..." Glorfindel then glanced at his father, his body
shuddering at the painted narrowed eyes, "...and Adar, I hope...I hope
you are not upset with this development"

Grabbing the blanket his mother had made for him as an elfling,
Glorfindel returned to his and Erestors bed, then curled up and fell
into reverie.

~*~*~

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

Thranduil sat back and quietly chatted with Cirdan, while Erestor
composed a letter as Elrond paced and talked "Elrond?"

The elven lord paused and looked over "Aye Erestor?"

"Would you saes, repeat that last part?"

Elrond smiled, then resumed his pacing "I had said, "I am sorry to hear
that Galadriel can not come, but am very pleased, as are Elladan and
Elrohir, that you are coming for a visit Celeborn"...do you have that
now Erestor?"

*Nod* "Aye Elrond, continue"

Before Elrond had a chance to open his mouth, light suddenly filled the
room and a voice was heard in the air.......

***You! Elrond Peredhil! You will receive a guest for a time, this will
be temporary***

Everyone in the room dropped to their knees and Elrond swallowed hard
"As you wish, who am I to refuse...uh..."

***Namo***

*Gasp-HardSwallow* "Whoever you send will be well cared for until you
call him or her back...may I ask a question?"

***Ask***

Elrond lowered his head further "Will I know this individual you are
sending?"

***Nay, but Cirdan will***

Cirdans eyes raised a little "May I speak"

***Speak***

"My lord, you say that this visitation is only temporary? I wish to ask
why"

***The answer to that, you will understand upon his arrival***

Everyone stilled when a form began to appear before them, then as
suddenly as it came, the light was gone and a ellon stood in the center
of Elronds study.

As everyone stood, Elrond and Erestor furrowed their brows, they
recognized this elf, but could not place from where.

Cirdan suddenly blinked with recognition and whispered in shock "Lord
Glorduin"

The elf slowly turned, blinking the confusion from his eyes and tilted
his head "Cirdan?"

The ancient lord slowly approached "Aye, tis me"

The returned lord narrowed his eyes "Where is Glorfindel...where is my
ion"
