Disclaimner: We don't own Tolkien's world (or anything in it) even
though we wish we did. We just play there.
Author's Note: Note one: Undomiel is Elvish for Evenstar
Note two: Again, playing with ages. Twins are 16, Arwen is 4 and
Celebrian has just very recently passed.

-------------------
en wen we last left the elflings: Arwen had been spanked and was in her
room. Elrond had gone to speak to Elladan

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

Elrond sighed and rubbed his son's back. "Well, your behavior was
very unacceptable." Elladan hung his head and nodded. "I know ada;
I'm so sorry." Elrond kissed his son's head and stood up, taking off
his belt.

Wordlessly, Elladan's shoulders slumped and he moved to the side of
the bed, leaning over it. His backside was still quite sore from the
hairbrush; once his leggings were pulled down, it was clear to see
that his bottom was still pink.

Elrond watched his son and said, "I see El, that your backside is
still sore looking." "It is very sore ada," Elladan whispered. "I
will give you your spanking with my belt and then if you wish, I can
put some cream on it."

The teen nodded, tears already starting to drip down his face. "I'm
so sorry ada...." "I know you are," the older elf responded softly.
He put a gentle hand on El's back as the boy burst out, "I'll take
her and I won't complain and I won't be rude and disrespectful to
GLorfindel," he exclaimed, hoping to be spared being questioned later
on.

"Correct," Elrond said, nodding his approval. "I'm going to give you
ten hard spanks with my belt. You do not need to count." Then he sed sed his arm and smacked the belt across El's backside. SWAT!

Elladan howled and stomped his feet to relieve the pain--or at least
attempt to. "OOOOOWWWWWW"

SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT

"Ada, I'm sorry! OWW! OUCH!!" Elrond patted his son's back. "I know
ion-nin; almost done. Only five more to go."

The distraught boy shook his head no, his backside on fire and
showing stripes from the belt. Elrond quickly landed the last five on
Elladan's sit spot. SWAT SWAT SWAT SSWATSWAT

Elladan sobbed hard, laying his face into the bed cover, his
shoulders shaking. His dark red backside throbbing Elrond laid the
belt down and gently rubbed Els back. The young elf could only sob
for several minutes, not even able to talk

"It's all over, Ell. Shhh." he gently rubbed his back. Elladan threw
his arms around Elrond, and sobbed. "Ada, so sorry, so sorry" "Shhh,
I know...I know...it's all over...my little one." he kissed Elladan's
head. Elladan calmed, starting to feel ready for sleep.

Elrond smiled, glad he could be of some comfort for his son. "Do you
wish me to put some cream on your backside?" "Please ada," Elladan
begged. "Amin mela lle ada--thank you." "You are welcome Elladan, my
pen-neth, amin mela lle." Slowly Elladan slipped into reverie after
receiving the cooling cream on his burning cheeks.

As Elrond had punished his son, Arwen had jumped at the first swat of
the belt, and had grown scared at Elladan's howl of pain. She ran
down the hallway, scared, where she bumped into....

Glorfindel was walking back to his room when Arwen bumped into
him...this time he wasn't carrying anything. Putting his hands on his
hips, he looked down at her with an eyebrow raised. Arwen's lower lip
trembled as he looked down at her. She looked scared, but she was not
scared of him. "Glorfy, Ella's getting hurted!! real bad!"

"What do you mean?" Glorfindel asked, wondering if she was making up
stories again. "It's loud and he's crying a lot!" she wrapped her
arms around his leg. Glorfindel picked her up and walked briskly over
to Elladan's room. He entered just as he saw Elrond putting some
cream on his sons' blazing backside.

Arwen saw Elladan's bottom and her ada's belt and put two and twogetogether and started to tremble. She buried her face against
Glorfindel's neck. he gently rubbed her back and he looked at
Elrond, "What did you do? Why did you hit him?"

Elrond in turn cocked an eyebrow at the Vanya, at his friend. Elladan
was getting out of hand. After the way he was behaving earlier it was
about time he got a spanking from the belt that I promised." he
growled at Glorfindel as he applied the cream.

Arwen hiccuped, still hiding her face, her tiny body trembling in the
Vanya's arms. Glorfindel was furious at Elrond's lack of controlling
what he perceived to be a fit a temper. "You had NO right in doing
this! How could you?!"

Elrond glared at him and said, "Glorfindel, if you STILL wish to be
in MY company...then do NOT say another word! Now leave US be!" Arwen
burst into tears. "Want nana!!!!" she wailed loudly. "Shhh, Arwen.
It's ok." he said as he gently rubbed Arwen's back as he walked out
of the room.

"Make nana come home!" Arwen wailed Arwen, I can't do that." he felt
bad he couldn't do anything for her.

As soon as Elladan was settled, Elrond rose, rubbing his temples, and
wnet to Elrohir's room. "Come in" Elrohir called. Elrond walked
in, "Just to let you know...you will be leaving sometime
tonight." "We will? Tonight? Even with Arwen?" Elrond nodded. "Get
some sleep right now...I'll wake you, Elladan and Arwen when it is
time to leave."

Arwen only continued to cling to Glorfindel, which surprised the Elf
greatly. Yes, there had been times he had played with Arwen and
rocked her, but that had been when she was younger and Elrond and
Celebrian had wished time to be a couple together. Lately, Arwen had
shied away from him.

"why is ada mad?" arwen asked around the thumb planted firmly in her
mouth. Glorfindel was in his room sitting on the bed with Arwen
holding onto him. He rocked her slowly, finding the old habits of
caring her her (as well as the twins when they were little tiny
elflings) coming back to him quickly.

"Your father has much on his mind...and I think that I shouldn't have
spoke to your ada that way." "Ada's scary..." she whimpered. "I
know...but he will be better...besides we'll be leaving sometime
tonight."

"does ada still love us?"

"of course, your ada will always love all of you."

"then why was he scary! I don't wanna sleep no more"

"You need to sleep, and he isn't always going to be scary."


Arwen snuggled against him. "I just wish nana could come home," she
whispered. though she tried to fight reverie, it finally overtook her.

Everyone within the walls of Imladris was asleep---save for one Elf.
Elrond.

He roamed the darkened hallways alone, captured in his thoughts. He
walked by and saw Glorfindel holding Arwen close. They not not stir
as he watched, sleeping, hopefully, a peaceful sleep. Elrond sighed
and walked past the room. on his way he stopped in front of a banner.

There on the way was a painting of Celebrian. The portarit of his
late wife was stunning, she smiled, looking so beautiful. her eyes
had been so perfectly captured, and it was as though she were looking
at him for a brief moment.

Elrond stood there and smiled...though his heart was breaking and
tears rolled down his eyes. Just looking and thinking of Celebrian
gave him strength, which he needed. He could sitll feel the emptiness
in his heart, in the palce that had, and always would, belong ot her.

Galadriel could feel his heartache and used her telepathy
saying, "What is wrong, Elrond?"

"I miss her---and I feel as thoI amI am failing my children. That I
will not be enough for them."

Galadriel's tone became both motherly and scolding as she spoke
again. "What happened to her was not your doing, Elrond. You are not
failing your children...they miss her as much as you do. Celebrian
would not want you to grieve forever over her."

"Are you certain? I do not know how I can go on Galadriel.....
El
Elrond, you have fought in the Second Age against Sauron...and
Celebrian was waiting for when you returned. "Celeborn and I were
both deeply grieved when we found out that our only daughter ended up
sailing over Sea. You will see her again, Elrond."

Elrond sighed heavily. "why do my children act so?" he asked
suddenly. Never had such troubles been caused in a matter only a few
days before. She was silent for a moment, pondering. "Your children
are acting the way they are because they still grieve over the loss
of Celebrian...but they do not show it. When they come here they will
see that WE act differently than the Rivendell Elves."

"What do you mean?" Elrond was suddenly having second thoughts. "I
can understand that they act out for the grief, but what do you mean
of acting differently? What exactly for you have in store for my
elflings?"

"Your sons will learn discipline here...and your daughter will learn
discipline as well." Elrond sighed. "And you shall keep them until
they are healed? Until I as well am healed? And we can repair and
become family once more?" "Yes."

Elrond nodded, though Galadriel could not see it. "Then that is what
shall be done. Be aware, all of my elflings have been spanked this
day...." He knew his children needed discipline now, perhaps more
then ever. His problem was that there would either be too much or too
little as his wounds healed, and theirs healed as well.

"I understand...Celeborn is very disciplined...for he came from the
forest of Doriath...he will deal with your sons. Your children will
act different when they come back to you."

"Of course. Forgive me, it is not that I do not trust you and
Celeborn... they are all I have left of her now, and I could not bear
the thought of them changing too terribly much." He thought of the
identical smirks of the twins that could so infuriate him at times,
and of Arwen as she bounced, quite literally into a room. Those were
the things he hoped would never change.

Galadriel smiled and he could feel it. "Our discipline won't change
the way they are...just the way they act. And when your children come
back to you...I will need you to come to Lorien." "For what reason
Galadriel? Must I truly be parted from my family yet again?" First he
had gone to Lorien by himself, now he was sending them, and she
wished him to come again?

"My mirror has shown me many things and the things that have not yet
come to pass has disturbed me very much."

Elrond sighed. "Alright, if it is truly neccessarry. Could I not
bring the children with me? Or come later after they have been there
a while? I do not think they, especially Arwen, will take kindly to
my leaving them again. Her nightmares grow fierce, which I did not
know were so terrible."

"You may come here later...I do not wish to upset your children
anymore than they are now." "Galadriel--thank you..." Elrond said
very faintly

"You're welcome, Elrond." "I must go wake the children and ready them
for their journey---I fear it will be a long one for their backsides."

she smiled and said, "I understand. They will be escorted...with they
not?" she asked concerned. he nodded. "Yes, Glorfindel will be with
them"

"Good. I will be waiting here when they arrive."
