The Fire Dance

Authors Note:

I just dealt with an electrician coming to the house to upgrade our
electic...*Sigh*...My Snooky and I got new computers...yes! I have my
own computer now so I will be able to be writing while Snooky is on the
other! YIPPY! The only problem is, the cable people will not be able to
come and network the coms until the 24th. My com is up and alive, but
not on the net yet. Today, Snooky and I are going to put together the
other computer and begin the uploading process...*groan*...so I will
not be able to access the internet for quite some time today...hopefuly
everything works out and such and everything will be back to normal
soon. The reason I am not  answering everyone's individual
comments this time, is because I want to get this chapter out for all
of you before Snooky kicks me off her com to get the new one up....So,
I will just say thank you very much to...

TopazKat, Lena, Ithilwen, Oli, Nightcloud, Minerva Ann McGonagall,
MaelleConstance, Animebishieluver, Bulisen, Sage Wolf.....And everyone
else that is reading my story, I thank you very much...Hugs to you all

Q's on some things with this chapter...((Hugs))...~DarkDreamer







The Fire Dance







Ch91





Everyone held perfectly still as they listened........

***You bound yourself to him?!!***

"Aye!"

***Bound***

"Aye Adar"

***-Groan-***Does your Nana know of this yet?***

Aglar shook his head "Nay Adar, I have not told her...but it will not
be long before she does know"

***She is Not going to like that I received this news first, you know
how she can be***

Aglar walked close and placed his hand on his fathers massive chest
"Saes adar, do not take him back to your Halls, I do not wish to live
at home again...I like it here and want to stay...with my new mate"

***You do realize that Manwe will wish to speak with you***

*Nod* "I will gladly speak with uncle Manwe, he told me long ago, that
love is precious and if I ever find it, I should hold it close and
fight
for it"

Mandos narrowed his eyes ***I do not believe that he meant for you to
fight Me***

Aglar shrugged "I have found love with Glorduin, I will fight with
whomever gets in the way...and if that happens to be you Adar, then..."

Mandos held up his hand as he rolled his eyes ***You know, you Could
come back and resume your work***

"Nay, I will not return there, the Hall of Retribution has seen the
last of me"

***But you did so well, and many changed their ways due to your hand***

"Nay adar"

Mandos shook his head, then closed his eyes in thought ***-'Uragh he is
stubborn! How am I going to get him to come home! If I drag him there
he will only flee again...hmm, that is another thing I must find out at
some point, how he got out in the first place...*Sigh*...I can not take
Glorduin back with Aglar having a hole somewhere that he may remove
his new husband and...uragh! Husband! How did this happen!'-***

"Gwee!"

Mandos slowly looked over at Glorfindel and raised his brow
***Glorfindel! Give me your elfling!***

Erestor gasped, then quickly flung his arms around his son and husband,
trapping Torfindel between them.

Frowning, Aglar stepped forward "Adar?"

***I will make you a deal ion, if this little life cries when I hold
him, Glorduin returns to my Halls and you with him. If he does Not cry,
you may stay and so may Glorduin***

Aglar crossed his arms and stood tall "Deal...and I have witnesses"

***Glorfindel? The elfling!***

As Glorfindel made to stand, Erestor choked "Na...nay Findel saes"

Glorfindel took a deep breath and whispered "I can not refuse him
Erestor, he returned me...do you want him to change his mind?"

Mandos held out his arms as he thought ***-'Elflings always shriek when
I get to close, this deal is done'-***

As Torfindel was placed within the Valars arms, he squirmed some, then
looked up "Eh...gw...gwee! Eee...gwee!"

Aglar smirked as he went to stand next to Glorduin "He did not cry in
my arms either adar, he is a bold elfling...you should have chosen a
elfling that was not begotten by the Great Slayer and Master Erestor"

Torfindel giggled as he reached up, grabbed, then yanked on the long
dark hair "Gwee!"

Mandos frowned as he jumbled his arms ***Know you not who I am little
life? You should be shrieking in fear, your life is far to new not to
fear my hand!***

+++Namo! Are you trying to frighten that new life?!+++

The Keeper of the slain cringed, then turned around ***Vaire, this is
Glorfindels seed***

Narrowing her eyes, Vaire walked past her husband, then smiled
+++Aglar, I was weaving and...*Sigh*...why did you not tell me you
found
love+++

"Tis new and I wished to keep it to myself for a time. I knew you would
see it in your weaving soon enough"

Vaire smiled as she gave her son a hug, then swiftly spun around when
Mandos growled ***Cry!***

"Gwee!"

Hearing a gasp, Vaire frowned as she watched Glorfindel trying to hold
Erestor back.  The dark elf was actually daring  to reach
toward her
husband to retrieve his elfling!

+++Namo! Give me that new life right now!+++

Mandos arched his brow and held Torfindel close ***Naaay, the last time
you held new life we ended up with Aglar!***

+++Oh! What a thing to say! Give...Me...That...Elfling!+++

Erestor whimpered as the Valar of the dead sighed, then passed
Torfindel over...........

"Gwee!"

+++Oh you are so adorable...and bold, I sense that in the future, my
hands will be weaving your face many times+++

Walking over to Erestor, Vaire smiled as she passed him over +++Your
elfling is going to be a handful, prepare yourself+++

Taking his son into his shaking hands, Erestor lowered his head "Hannon
le my Lady", then pulled Torfindel close

Mandos crossed his arms over his chest and sighed ***A deal is a deal.
Glorduin, you will remain here with our ion***, he then looked toward
his son ***Am I right in assuming that you are finished with this
foolishness of being a bed warmer?***

Aglar narrowed his eyes "After growing up in your halls, then working
in The Hall of Retribution, bringing pleasure to others felt very very
good! Foolishness it was not, I found love by doing so. Had I not
decided to become a courtesan, I would more then likely not have met
Glorduin...I regret none of it"

Mandos took a deep breath, then wrapped his arm around Vaire's waist
***Tul my love, we have spent far to much time here already, we should
leave. Aglar, feel free to come home and visit, you are missed***

Everyone released sighs of relief when the room dimmed and the natural
light resumed.

Turning toward the table, Aglar sighed and lowered his head "I...I hope
this learned knowledge does not change your feelings about me. I have
always considered you All dear to my heart"

Thranduil arched his brow as he sat back and smiled "Well, I for one am
shocked, in a good way of course. I had visited you when you were a
courtesan and...*Snort*...I bed the ion of Mandos!"

Elrond smacked Thranduil in the arm "Quiet Thran, many have been with
him, including myself!"

Cirdan shook his head "I am just shocked that Mandos did not strike me
down for the things I had done with you!"

Aglar smiled affectionately "Then I am still welcome here?"

Elrond sat back and smiled in return "You have always been welcome in
my home, that will not change. Imladris is a sanctuary for all, even
for the ion of the Doomsman and Weaver of Stories. *Snort* Though I ask
for your patience, this knowledge will take some getting used to!"
