The Fire Dance

The Fire Dance


Ch99


Later that night Thoron laid awake in bed 'I know I saw him twitch',
the younger twin shuddered then glanced over at his brothers bed "Vel?"

Receiving no response, Ron slowly got out of bed, then sat on the edge
of Vel's and lightly shook him "Vel?"

"Mmmm"

*Shove* "Vel!"

"Mmm...what Ron"

"May...may I sleep with you tonight?"

Thorvel sat up and tilted his head "Still upset about the Chamber of
Waiting?"

"Aye...would you hold me?"

Thorvel swallowed hard, then slowly moved over and pulled the covers
back "Aye, get in then"

Once Ron was laying on his back, Vel laid on his side and pulled him
close "When you said you wished for me to hold you...did you mean that
literally?"

"Aye Vel, hold me...saes"

Thorvel took a deep breath, wrapped his arms around his younger half,
then lightly kissed his forehead "Will this do?"

"Aye, hannon le Vel"

After Ron's eyes clouded over in reverie, Vel propped himself up on
his elbow. Slowly leaning down, the elder twin lightly kissed Ron's
cheek, then his neck, then his collarbone....

Awareness swiftly returning, Ron laid motionless, his eyes blinking in
shock as his elder half licked and kissed his chest, moving slowly
lower and lower as his hand massaged his inner thigh....

"Vel?"

Thorvel instantly stilled, then sat up and looked away.

Thoron frowned as he watched his elder half reach up and wipe his eye
"What were you doing Vel...why..."

*Sniffle* "I...I don't know, I just...I was..."

Ron slowly sat up and scooted closer "Vel look at me"

"I'm sorry Ron I don't know why I...forgive me...saes"

"Look at me Vel, I am not upset...I...I rather liked it"

Thorvel looked over and blinked in shock "You...you did?"

"Aye"

Vel gently chewed on his lower lip, then sighed "I should not have
done that though, we are kin, and twins no less"

Ron reached out and softly caressed his brothers back "But I liked
it...what does this mean Vel"

"I do not know...we should...we should seek counsel from someone, but
who could we go to"

Thoron shrugged "Well Adar is a twin, as was Daeradar...though I do not
feel that we could go to them..."

Vel's eyes widened "Argh! We most certainly can not go to Adar! Or
uncle Elrohir....or Daeradar! What if they were to separate us!!"

Ron swiftly wrapped his arms around his elder half "I do not want to
be separated from you Vel! Do not even say such a thing out loud!"

"I...I should never have touched you, I..."

Ron squeezed him tight and nuzzled his neck "But...but I Want you to
touch me, I liked it and...and you felt so good and...what is wrong
with us Vel"

Thorvel took a deep breath "I am not sure there Is anything wrong with
us...we need to speak with someone older...someone wise, or a group of
eldars"

Thoron cuddled close "Who...someone like uncle Cirdan?"

"Nay, he is to close, he is with uncle Elrohir and if what we say
upsets him, he may tell on us thinking he is helping"

"Then who Vel, we can not go to Mirkwood, Thranduil is Daeradar's
mate...and we can not go to Lothlorien, that is where Ada is
from...and The Grey Havens is not an option, uncle Cirdan is from there"

Thorvel thought for a moment, then turned and gave his younger half a
serious look "I was reading some of the ancient scrolls in the library
and...and there is mention of another group of elves...they live in a
small forest, though we would need to travel to Dunland"

Ron tilted his head "I thought you would have mentioned Lindon, I am
sure there are elves still living there"

"Aye there are, but Daeradar lived there and from what I understand he
still has contact with some of them"

Thoron took a deep breath "So who is this group of elves"

"According to the scrolls, they are Avari"

Ron's eyes widened "Avarin elves? Truly? Why...why has it never been
mentioned before that they were there...you would think that Daeradar
would have extended his hand to them in friendship"

Vel nodded "He sent letters, but they are very reclusive, it mentioned
in the scroll that I read that they are even more so then Mirkwood elves"

Thoron took a deep breath "Then they may not welcome us"

Thorvel wrapped his arms around his brother "Aye, but we must
try...they are the only elven community that has absolutely no ties to
anyone we know"

Before Anar had even risen, Elrond, Elladan and Elrohir jolted upright
in their beds.....

Seeking each other out, Elrond arched his brow "You both felt it as well?"

Elladan nodded "Aye Adar, something is amiss"

Elrohir slowly tilted his head and frowned "It surprises me that Vel
and Ron did not meet us, they should be feeling this as well"

The three peredhil held hands as they gathered in a circle and then
opened their minds....

Elrond suddenly gasped
Elladan winced as he took a deep breath
Elrohir slowly shook his head

When they released their hold, Elrond stepped back "Oh the poor things
think they are..."

Elladan held up his hand "I knew they were close...really close
but...argh!...being a twin, I should have explained to them about
their waking feelings. Even Roh and I had thoughts toward one another
at that age, a twins bond is...*groan*...I should have spoken to them"

Elrohir sighed as he scratched behind his ear "We need to find them,
they do not understand that they are not in love in that way...all
they know is that they feel good when touching...Valar, back when I
was their age I felt good just rubbing against a tree!!"

Elladan chuckled as he shook his head "Aiyah that poor tree!"

"Shut up Ella, I actually think the tree enjoyed it"

"Boys!"

Elladan and Elrohir lowered their heads ""Sorry Adar""

Elrond pinched the bridge of his nose "They are but 40 years and under
the impression that they...they are misreading their twin bond, we
must find them...and swiftly! There is something else we should think
about as well"

The twins tilted their heads ""What Adar""

"Should they still avoid horses as this time"

Elladan blinked in shock, then turned and ran down the hall "Gwee!!!"

~*~*~

Skidding to a halt before the large door, Elladan pounded loudly
"Gwee!! Gwee are you there?! Glorfindel! Open the door!!"

When Glorfindel opened the door, he frowned when Elladan shoved past
him and headed for Torfindels room....

About to grab at the upset twin, Elrond placed his hand on the
seneschal's shoulder "Wait Findel"

As Elrond and Elrohir explained what had happened, Elladan grabbed
held Torfindel close "Call for your friend Gwee....saes"

Torfindel rubbed the sleep from his eyes and smiled "You mean Mandos?"

Erestor blinked in shock and drew close "You know that Eruion is..."

"Mandos? Aye, he told me"

Elladan lightly shook the youngling to gain back his attention
"Gwee...saes"

Torfindel shrugged "I have never called for him before, I do not
think...."

***What!***

Torfindel quickly spun as his hands flew to his ears

In seeing this, Mandos toned down his voice and smiled "I apologize
Gwee, is this better?"

Torfindel nodded "Aye you were not jesting when you said it would hurt"

Elrond took a deep breath, slowly approached and lowered his head "My
lord Mandos we..."

"I know why you needed to speak with me and nay, you need not fear
them upon a horse now"

Elladan moved closer and looked at the Doomsman, his eyes pleading
"Are they alright...can you tell us where they are?"

Mandos sighed as he crossed his arms over his chest "Aye, I could tell
you where they are...but I will not"

Torfindel looked up and frowned "Why, saes...they are my friends...the
only friends I had before you..."

Mandos placed his hand on Torfindel's shoulder and smiled "I do not
expect you to understand this, but two paths were placed before them,
one where one of them could have perished, and the other that they are
on now. Had I not said anything, then the path they are on would not
have come to pass, and I wished for this path to unfold"
