The decision

Celeborn stood on the balcony of the study. He watched his wife walk into the gardens to talk to their new visitor someone that has come back to them. Not someone he really wanted to see again Celebrimbor. It seemed he was always against him for Galadriels heart and with his death Celeborn had felt he had finally won. Not the way he wanted to win her heart but at least her heart was all his.
But now he is back for what reason its unknown,Galadriel was honest at least with him telling him how she was unsure yet once again about whom she loved the most.
It had seemed she was spending more time with Celebrimbor then him. But he never let his emotions show as he would watch them together. It would eat him up inside but on the outside he looked his usual calm self. At nights when he would try to touch her she would only allow him to hold her.

**flashback***
Celeborn was walking with his King when he saw a golden haired lady talking with Melian.
she looked up as he approached them and their eyes locked. He broke the stare and pretended she didn't exist for almost a year afterwards. For someone to be able to touch his heart with only a glance scared him and very little scared him.
One day while on a ride he heard the yells of someone in distress. As he rode out to see who it was he saw the long golden hair flowing in the wind and an orc closing in on her he acted fast.
Once the orc was dead he had turned to her" Are you ok my Lady" he asked as he walked over to her. She tilted her head up and looked into his eyes without saying a word. He reached out and touched her shoulder "I asked if you are ok" he said sounding more worried."Aye I am fine my Lord" she finally answered while a tear fell down her cheek.
He wiped the tear from her face and smiled at her for a moment. She stepped in closer to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders "Diola lle for saving me" he whispered as she placed a kiss on his cheek. He closed his eyes for a moment as he felt a shiver run up his spine.'Your welcome Artanis" he whispered as he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close to him tilting his head he claimed her lips with his. ever since then they never left each others side until...Celebrimbor came to claim she was his.
Artanis and her brothers left doraith shortly after that.

After months of no word he had finally received a letter from her saying she loved him to much to live without him and did not love Celebrimbor. She asked that he come to see her in her new home she shared with her brothers.

Celeborn had stopped on his way to water and rest his horse. While sitting under a tree watching his horse eat he suddenly noticed a male walking towards him, He had long bright red hair and was very tall. As he became closer he could see piercing emerald green eyes looking at him with a wicked smile.
Celeborn stood up with one hand on his sword as the stranger walked up to him and began to talk" Greetings "he said as he bohis his head slightly "I am Maedhros "he said with a smile as watched Celeborn.
Maedhros had never seen such silver hair before in his life and was completely captivated with the beauty of the elf before him.
Celeborn nodded his head" Greetings I am Celeborn from Doriath" he was unsure if he should kill him right on the spot for he knew three name and history that came with it.
" I hope you don't mind if I stay with you a while for my horse needs rest also" Maedhros said as he moved closer to Celeborn unable to control himself he reached out and touched Celeborns hair only to have his hand smacked away with a growl.
