The Fire Dance



Ch92




Twenty Five years had passed....................

A few hours after midday meal, many had gathered for some relaxation and wine....

Thorvel and Thoron ran into the Hall of Fire and skidded to a halt...

"We killed a boar!"
"Aye!"

Elladan smiled as he stood "Well? Where Is this boar you vanquished"

The twins exchanged a look, in all their excitement, they had left it behind as they ran home to tell of their kill...

"Uh, we uh...we came home to get a horse and uh..."
"Aye, it is a large boar and uh...we thought a horse would be best to carry it back"

Rumil gave a knowing smile "Well you best get that horse and go back to get it. The longer you leave it there unattended, the greater the risk of it not being there when you return"

Thoron stepped forward and placed his hands behind his back "Actually, Vel and I have seen within our minds that there is a family not far from here that is in need of some food. We here have plenty and so we thought we would take the boar to them"

Elladan and Rumil smiled proudly as Elrond nodded "Aye, thats sounds like a wonderful idea, tho do not linger. Deliver the boar and return, your lessons with Erestor are..."

"Worry not, we will be back"
"Aye Daeradar, we will not linger!"

As they ran out of the chamber, Glorfindel shook his head "They are bound and determined to become warriors I think"

Aglar lifted his head and sighed "They have come to me, asking if I would teach them the ways of a Shadow Stalker"

As Elladan and Rumil blinked in shock, Ormeril rolled her eyes "Humph I would make a better Shadow Stalker then them they chatter to much"

Melpomaen gasped as he nearly dropped his glass "You are Not going to become a Shadow Stalker it is one thing for you to take fighting lessons from your Adar and Miradel but you are going to be bound to Tordren and will Not be roaming around and..."

"Oh Ada calm down all I said was that I would make for a better one not that I wanted to be one really Ada you are far to excitable"

Haldir shrugged as he took another glass of wine "I think you would make a fine Shadow Stalker"

"Haly!"

"What Mel she would. She is doing very well in her warrior training. Granted, I would rather she be just a regular warrior"

Melpomaen closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Tordren leaned close to Aglar and arched his brow "Tell me my lord Aglar, for it has confused me for some time...do you know why they speak like that? Without the ability for pause?"

Aglar looked over and smiled "I will tell you what I know if you promise to cease calling me "My Lord", regardless of my parentage and who I am bound to, I truly would prefer it if I could just be called Aglar"

"Understood. So tell me then, why are they like that?"

Aglar smirked, then sat back "The One, likes diversity and uniqueness"

Tordren narrowed his eyes "Obviously, so in other words...you do not know"

Aglar sighed as he took a sip of wine "Correct. What I do know about it, is that it is natural with them"

Glorduin chuckled as he shook his head "You best watch yourself, you know he is ScratchThorn happy"

Arching his brow, Aglar snorted "I would like to see him Try and get me with that thing"

Just as Tordren was about to respond, Elrond furrowed his brow when he heard the screech of a great eagle...

As everyone gathered on the main terrace, Glorfindel and Erestor groaned. There, in the main courtyard, was Torfindel, the back of his tunic secure in the great eagles beak as he dangled far above the ground.

Leaping from the balcony, Glorfindel slowly approached "He was at your nest again?"

The great eagle slowly shook her head, causing Torfindel to swing from side to side...

"Hahahah! Do that again!"

"Gwee! Hush yourself!"

Torfindel sighed "Aye Ada"

When everyone finally gathered behind the great slayer, Glorfindel turned around "Aglar, would be so kind as to find out what happened"

As Aglar stepped forward, the great eagles eyes widened and the massive bird lowered her head some "Tell me friend, why do you remain holding tight to this elfling. His Ada and Adar are here now"

Everyone watched as the great eagle and Aglar locked eyes, then a short time later, Aglar turned to the group "It seems that little Gwee managed to sneak his way past the border guards and found himself surrounded by wargs. Knowing Torfindel from the time he snuck into her nest, she swooped down and removed him, tho not before he actually killed one of the smaller ones"

Erestor dropped his jaw, then frowned as he walked up to the giant bird "Hannon le for saving our little one, now would you kindly drop him so that I may wring his neck?!"

Torfindel swallowed hard "I went for a walk, I did not sneak past anyone! How was I to know I was past the border! I didn't not do it on purpose!"

The dark adviser grabbed him by the tip of his ear and twisted it...

"Eh...gwee!"

"Don't you "gwee" me! You are only twenty five! You have No business wandering out that far! From now on you are only aloud to roam a half mile from the Homely House! Am I understood!"

Torfindel winced as he ear was pulled some "Aye Adar aye I will not leave the main grounds! Ow! Adar saes! let go now!"

Releasing his sons ear with a huff, Erestor stomped off as he mumbled angrily

Glorfindel watched his mate walk away, knowing that he was doing so to calm down. Crossing his arms over his chest, the seneschal arched his brow "Did you truly kill a warg?"

Torfindels blue eyes looked up through his dark tresses and nodded "Aye, that is why the other wargs surrounded me, I had walked into the path of a young one. They were very close to the tree line Ada...that is not good right?"

"Do not change the subject...you are not to leave the main grounds as your Adar has said, I did not go through all the pain of having you, not to mention that cracked nipple, just to loose you twenty five years later. Now behave, Elrond and I need to speak of your warg sighting"

As everyone dispersed, Glorduin and Aglar remained by Torfindels side, then chucked as the elfling huffed "Valar is Ada Ever going to let up about that cracked nipple thing? Tis not like I had control over doing that!"

Once the others were gone from site, Glorduin swiftly grabbed then lifted his grandson up and into the air "You killed a warg! And at twenty five! Ah! I could not be more proud! Well done!"

Torfindel giggled as Glorduin spun him about "I am glad that you are proud Daeradar, but I would rather not go through that again!"

Aglar tilted his head as the youngling was placed on the ground "Your Ada was proud as well Gwee"

"Really? You think so? He looked rather upset to me"

Aglar shook his head "Trust me, I am able to sense such things. He was of course worried over your safety, but as a warrior, he was very impressed. Now, you should go and find your Adar, he has calmed some and I am sure that he will want to hold you"

Torfindel rolled his eyes "I am unsure who is worse when I am cuddled, Adar, or auntie Miradel...they both have a grip that makes me lose my breath!"

As Torfindel ran off to find Erestor, Aglar chuckled and patted Glorduins back "Worry not my dear mate. After little Gwee yanked on my Adars hair, he was very impressed. He has mentioned to me many times when I have visited, that he keeps an eye on him. I do beleave that little Torfindel has wormed his way into my Adars heart. He is watched over greatly. I would not be surprised to find out that Adar had something to do with that great eagle flying overhead at that time"

Glorduin smiled as he took Aglars hand, "That is reassuring. I am very proud of him, but like my ion, worried about his fearlessness...*Sigh*...tul my love, let us go to the training grounds and watch the younglings practice"
