The Fire Dance




Ch94



Glorfindel pulled Erestor close as he tried to catch his breath "I love you my dark rabbit"

"Mmmm...and I you Findel. Tul, let us go and check on our little Meep"

Upon entering their sons chamber, they both sighed and shook their heads....

"Wonderful, where could he have gone off to at This hour"

Erestor smiled "Perhaps the kitchens...he loves cheesecake even more then you...if that is possible" Erestor then walked to his desk and frowned "My library keys are missing"

Glorfindel rubbed the back of his neck as he closed his night robe "Let us check there first then"

~*~*~

Torfindel sat quietly between the twins and listened to his fathers sad tale, then bit his lip.....

"But why did he go after that thing! He should have ran with the others!"

Thorvel smiled kindly "Because uncle Glorfindel was a warrior and saved many...had he not gained that Balrogs attention, it would have killed the ellith and elflings it had cornered"

Torfindel sniffled, then pointed back to the book "Continue saes"

As Thoron continued to read, Glorfindel and Erestor quietly crept in and hid behind one of the bookshelves......

*Whisper* "I told you my library keys were missing"

*WhisperGroan* "They are reading my history to him...I do not like this Erestor"

*Whisper* "He was going to find out sooner or later Findel, at least he is not reading it alone...at least Vel and Ron are...oh, shhhh...."

"Ada fell off the cliff?!"

Thoron shook his head "Nay, he was pulled down the mountainside by his hair, the Balrog pulled him down with him"

Torfindel sniffled again "And he was on fire as he fell?"

""Aye""

"So...so Ada was still alive when he fell while on fire?"

The twins exchanged a sad look and Thorvel nodded "And he suffered such an end to save many. He saved many that day. Your Ada is a hero"

Glorfindel gripped his chest when he saw tears fall down his sons cheek, then stilled when Torfindel blinked and took a deep breath.....

"Gwee"

The twins held him close and Thoron gave him a squeeze "Well put"

"I have seen Ada when he sits by the fire...sometimes he just stairs at it. I...I wanted to tell him something one time and when I touched his shoulder, he startled...is that because he was thinking of his...his death?"

Thorvel shrugged "We can not answer that for you. Only Glorfindel can. Now listen Gwee, you now know your Ada's story. If the others in your class talk about it again, you just tell them that your Ada is a great warrior. And if they tease you again...you come and get Us alright?"

Realizing that they were finished, Erestor and Glorfindel stepped out and into view. Upon seeing his father, Torfindel jumped up from the long chair and ran over....

*Whimper* "Gwee!!!"

Opening his arms, Glorfindel gathered him up and held him close "Calm down ion I am here"

"You died!"

"Aye"

"While you were on Fire!!"

*Sigh* "Aye, tis true. But I am here now...I was returned and I am here"

Torfindel quickly looked over at Erestor and blinked "Did you die to Adar?"

Erestor shook his head "Nay my little Meep, I did not"

"I want to go home"

Glorfindel nodded and turned toward the door "Alright, let us go"

Erestor gave Glorfindel a look and the seneschal nodded.

Thorvel and Thoron lowered their heads as Erestor drew close ""We meant no harm. We felt something amiss and followed the feeling and found him here. We thought he should not read it alone""

Erestor held up his hand "We are not angry with you. Glorfindel and myself have been trying to figure out a way to broach this subject with him. We are just happy that he learned of this with those he trusts...and you both did wonderfully in answering his questions. I will be speaking with Elladan and Rumil about what you did. You did very well"

Three weeks later...............

Torfindel sat quietly on the edge of a stone bridge, his feet dangling as he threw stones into the water.

"Hello"

Turning, Torfindel smiled at the slowly approaching elfling, noticing that he was about his age "Hello"

"My name is...uh...Eruion"

"I am Torfindel...but most just call me Gwee. Did your family just move here?"

"In a way. May I sit with you?"

"Sure...do you like skipping stones?"

"I have not done so in a while...may I ask, why are you over here by yourself?"

Torfindel frowned "The others tease me"

Eruion smirked as he hopped up next to him and made himself comfortable "Eh, do not worry about them...they will be judged for their actions when they sail"

As they sat and skipped stones, Torfindel gave him an odd look "I have never met an elf with black hair and eyes before...you have no whites to your eyes"

"The One is playful when he creates...he likes diversity"

Torfindel smiled as he moved closer "Have you any bothers or sisters? I am an only elfling"

"Aye, I have a sister, and brother...though she cries allot and he just sits and daydreams all day...I needed some air, so I went for a walk"

Both of them turned when they heard a bell ring and Torfindel sighed "Tis time for midday meal, I must go...will uh...will I see you again?"

"Of course...we are friends now correct?"

Torfindels smile was blinding "Aye, I would like to be your friend"

As Gwee ran off toward the Homely House and was finally out of site, Eruion smiled as he whispered "Everyone needs a friend" then vanished.
