The Fire Dance





Ch66





Glorduin took a step forward and narrowed his eyes "I said...where is
my
ion!"

Cirdan backed a step and swallowed hard "He is resting right now my
lord"

Crossing his arms over his chest, Glorduin looked around the room "And
you are?"

*ReturndGlair* "King Thranduil of Mirkwood"

Glorduin respectfully inclined his head "And this is your realm?"

Thranduil shook his head and gestured to his love....

Elrond stepped forward and arched his brow "I am Elrond Peredhil, you
are in My realm"

The returned lord bowed respectfully, then looked around "Seems to be a
fair place...and its name is?"

The half elven lord gestured for him to sit "Imladris"

As he sat down, his gaze fell to Erestor "And you are?"

Erestor stood tall "Chief Advisor Erestor, and mate to..."

Cirdan swiftly placed a glass before Glorduin's face "Here my lord, try
this"

Still a little "Off" from his arrival, the lord took the glass,
forgetting Erestors unfinished sentence "Hannon le Cirdan, and what do
You do now?"

"I have my own realm, The Gray Havens. This is wine from my private
stock...enjoy"

As Glorduin tipped the glass, unseen by his eyes, Cirdan reached behind
his own back and waved for the others back away.

As they did, Elrond furrowed his brow when he noticed the lords eyes
flutter and his head drop forward.

"Cirdan!"

"Shhh"

The three of them watched as the ancient lord reached forward and poked
Glorfindels father. When there was no response, Cirdan released a
relieved sigh "Good"

Walking forward, Elrond frowned "You drugged him? Why"

Cirdan motioned for everyone to join him on the far side of the room
"You do Not understand Elrond...I know Findels Adar and...well, you
know Findel and I became friends and corresponded through letters
right?"

"Aye"

"The reason we did so was because his Adar...the elf in that chair over
there...forbid our friendship. My letters to Findel were sent to
Ecthelion's house so Findel would receive them"

Erestor frowned "Glorfindel had told me a time back that this Adar
was...stern"

Cirdan rolled his eyes "Stern?! You jest...his Adar was...Glorfindel
was not aloud to have friends or any type of fun, he was...."

Erestor swiftly held up his hand "Wait...Findel told me the other
elflings avoided him because they were not of his "class", thus why he
had no friends, and that he did have fun. He had a garden and..."

Cirdan shook his head "Lord Glorduin would chase the other elflings
away, stating that Glorfindel was a future lord and warrior, and would
have no
time to "play", he would actually wave his broadsword about...so you
can
imagine, the other penneths stayed away, they feared lord Glorduin. And
the garden? That was his Naneths garden that he helped with. The only
time he got to do Any sort of "playing", was when his Adar was away on
patrol"

Elrond, Thranduil and Erestor glanced over to the sleeping lord and
Erestor bit his lip "Glorfindel mentioned that he chalked some of the
pictures in his Adars books...and was punished"

Cirdan sighed heavily "Aye, lord Glorduin tied him to his bed for four
days. I tell you, I do Not know why Namo brought him back at this
time...it is the cruelest thing he could have done. If they wanted to
send someone back, they should have sent his Naneth, she was a loving
and caring elleth...Glorfindel and his Adar Never got
along. When lord Glorduin found evidence that Glorfindel preferred
males,
he actually struck him"

Erestor looked over at the sleeping lord, then narrowed his eyes and
released a protective growl "Really...he struck My Findel? Well, he
will Not be doing That again"

Elrond placed his hand on Erestor shoulder and gave it a light squeeze
"I had read that lord Glorduin was a fierce warrior, but I will Not
have
Glorfindel distressed...Rivendell is a sanctuary and I will have no
abuse occurring here. Times have changed since the days of old, and
lord
Glorduin will have to accept this change. He is Not in Gondolin...and
this
is Not the 1st age"

~*~*~

Glorfindel pushed off his old blanky and sat up "Erestor?"

*Silence*

Looking around, by the shinning of Anar he knew it was close to midday
and sighed "I guess Elrond had more work for him then he thought"

Getting up, Glorfindel got dressed and began to make his way to Elronds
study.

~*~*~

"Mmmph..."

Elrond, Thranduil, Cirdan and Erestor swiftly turned, just in time to
see Glorduin rubbing his head "Cir...Cirdan, did you drug me?"

Taking a deep breath, the ancient lord nodded "Aye lord Glorduin"

Narrowing his eyes as he stood, Glorfindels father shook his head "You
and my wife would have gotten along well...she used to drug my tea.
Now, I will ask again...where is my ion, you said he was resting, was
he injured? I was struck down shortly after his majority...but in
Mandos Halls, I heard from others that he became a great warrior and
saved many...I want to see my ion"

Elrond stepped forward "It has come to my attention that you were less
then kind to Findel in his youth. I worn you now, should you upset him
in Any way, cause him Any distress, I will have you confined to your
chamber"

Approaching the large lord, Erestor crossed his arms "And should you
physically harm him...I will beat you senseless...do you hear me?!"

Glorduin arched his brow as he looked down at the slighter elf "You
have fire in you little one...I take it your are a friend of my ion's?"

Erestor leaned closer and hissed "I am Glorfindels mate"

*Shocked-Blinking*  "You are...what?"

Everyone's heads spun toward the door when they heard a low protective
growl....

Glorfindel stood tall in the archway with his arms crossed and eyes
narrowed "He said, he is my mate"
