The Fire Dance

Authors Note:

TopazKat - Yeah, the twins are great, even though they are advanced
though due
to Elronds ring, they are still elflings and don't think of the long
term ramifications of what may have happend...ahhh the innocence of
youth! *Snort* Oh and don't worry, I have no intention of being very
graphic with the torture...this may be a "Learning story" for me to
attempt, but I have no desire to get all bloody...I am more of an
"innuendo" torture person...if that makes sense...:)

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

Sage Wolf - Your gonna kill me then...couse I really don't have a name
for him...or at least "Who" he is...he is not a "Character" from the
books or movies...he is a man who is just nasty...I will give more info
on him at some point, but if you are looking for a particular
character...I am afraid I will have to disappoint you there...hope I
haven't lost you due to this *Sigh* Funny thing is, when I mentioned
him
in the earlier chapter, I never meant to bring him back...but I got
Allot
of e-mails asking me about him and such...:)

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

Aoklopk - You want more of Elrond and Thran? You got it...it will not
be in this chapter necessarily, but in the next few...do you want it to
be "Slash" or "Them conversing" kind of thing...let me know and I will
try and work it in...:)

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

Tfutcher - Yup, the twins are ok...and yes, Findel was harmed...thus
why he is so patient and took his time with Erestor and Miradel...:)

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

MaelleConstance - Awww come on now...like I Really would have had the
little twins get hurt? *Snort* and yeah, you gotta be proud of them for
their determination and the reason behind their actions...but at the
same time, you want to put them over your knee and spank them with a
lecture on "What were you thinking!!...:)

The Fire Dance







Ch81





Elladan plopped Thorvel onto one of the exam tables and Rumil placed
Thoron next to him, then Tordren entered the room and gasped "Blessed
Valar!"

Seeing the shocked look on his face, Elladan sighed heavily "The blood
is not theirs, tis the adan's...they are just here to be checked", then
turned back to his sons and narrowed his eyes "I want to know what you
two were thinking! That adan had attacked Glorfindel some time ago and
from what I remember from his report, the adan nearly harmed him
grievously! He could have killed you both! Speak!!"

Thorvel and Thoron gave each other a look, then Vel sat tall......

"We were thinking that the adan was evil and should be punished...when
we found out that he used us, we focused on him and what we saw
frightened us Adar..."

Ron took a deep breath, then tilted his head "We saw some of the
things he has done...we know he attacked uncle Glorfindel before. When
we focused on him, we saw back to him hurting uncle Glorfindel and he
was doing
that Thing we see offten...but not nicely"

Rumil shook his head confused "What do you mean Ron, you are not being
clear"

Thoron shrugged "We saw uncle Glorfindel laying on his stomach...with
the adan on top of him, his hand was squeezing a bandage on uncle
Glorfindels side...uncle Glorfindel looked like he was in pain, not
happy like we have seen uncle Orophin and Lindir, or uncle Haldir and
Mel...even when we have seen what uncle Elrohir and Cirdan do, they are
happy...Glorfindel had tears on his cheeks and the adan was Not being
gentle. After we saw that, we Knew we had to do something"

Elladan pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed "Ru my love, go to my
Adar and confirm this information, I will stay with Vel and Ron"

Rumil pulled him to the other side of the room "Nay. You go to your
Adar, I will stay. You are still to angry with them"

"Of course Im angry! They could have been killed! What they did was
foolish!"

"Don't you yell at Me Ella, I know what their fate could have been. You
need to remind yourself that they are elflings...and they do not think
like adults. They did not take into consideration, the long term
ramifications of their actions...regardless of their advancement from
your Adars ring...they are Still elflings"

Elladan took a deep breath, then nodded "I...I know. I know they are
elflings. It is just...when I heard them behind the door I...I love
them so much..."

Rumil placed a finger to Elladans lips "Shhh...I understand, I was
frightened as well. But they are alright. Now go to your Adar and
confirm their vision, the thought of Glorfindel being harmed in such a
way..."

Elladan nodded "I will return shortly"

Once Elladan had left the healing chamber, Rumil returned to his
sons........

""Ada saes, do not be angry with us""

Rumil sighed and gave them both a hug "Now you listen to Me, both of
you. You are Not warriors. When you get older you may be, but right
now, you leave such actions to the adults. Am I understood?"

""Aye Ada""

Erestor and Miradel quickly made their way to the kitchens.........

Upon entering, Erestor bit his lower lip when he saw Glorfindel sitting
at one of  the tables "Mira, he spoke of his attack so...so
nonchalantly, then said he was hungry. I am concerned"

Miradel nodded "From the moment I met him, I wondered why he was so
patient with you...waiting for you to be "ready" for him. He is so big.
It never accrued to me that he could have been harmed. He may have just
pushed his feelings about the incident away. He is after all, Lord
Glorfindel the great Balrog slayer, he was returned by the Valar and
looked up to by many. For someone such as him to be raped...well, who
knows how he would handle such a thing"

Erestor took a deep breath, then slowly approached the table and smiled
at the four cheesecakes "Only four?"

Glorfindel looked at the deserts and smiled
"To begin with"

"Careful now, you are pregnant and..."

"Temporarily slowed Rabbit...I am temporarily slowed"

With all the new information he had, Glorfindels comment took on a
whole new meaning and the advisor tilted his head "My beautiful
warrior...there is no shame in having limitations for a short time"

Glorfindel quickly looked up, then stabbed the cheesecake in front of
him with his fork "Vulnerability is Not something I handle well
Rabbit...it got me killed in my first life. It will Not let it kill me
in my second"

Erestor silently nodded, realizing that Glorfindel was not ready to
talk about this yet and decided to change the subject "Will you share?"

The seneschal smirked, then pushed one of the deserts over to his mate
"With you? Always...but others? They would loose a finger in the
attempt"

Erestor lightly chuckled, then furrowed his brow and jumped to his feet
when Glorfindel suddenly leaned forward and winced "Ooo!"

"Fi...Findel?"

Glorfindel quickly placed his hand on his stomach, then winced again
and began to breath rapidly "Oooo! Uh, Rabbit I think...Oooahh...you
should get El...Oooo...Elrond!"

~*~*~

News about the adan's capture had spread like wild fire through
Imladris
and many of Glorfindels warriors collected out in the hall. Since Aglar
had damaged the door to the chamber so severely, it was carried away
and
now the open frame had many eyes. Glorduin sat in his chair, listening
to his sons fellows yell their support from the hallway as he
watched Aglar........

"Glorfindel saved my life many times!"

"He is the most honorable elf I have ever known!"

"Be glad it is not Us in there with you!"

"We welcomed you into our home, you orc spawn!"

"Whatever Aglar does is less than you deserve!"

"Show no mercy, Aglar!"

As Aglar slowly turned around, the others shivered upon seeing a smirk
of anticipation on his lips...many of the warriors gathered in the hall
knew Aglar intimately, yet none of them had ever seen that particular
look grace his fair features.

Tilting his head ever so slightly, the
quiet courtesan placed a finger to his lips "Shhh..."
