Story Title: The Trials and Misfortunes of Lord Glorfindel

Story Author: GAMercy

Story Overview: Another story in which Glorfindel of Gondolin is prominently featured, as well as many other well-known inhabitants of Imladris and several slippery Istar.

Rating: Hardly a PG-13, I would think, but I shall leave it at R just to be safe and cover all of my bases.

Pairings: Elrond/Glorfindel and no other side pairings that have yet cropped up.

Warnings: Obviously AU in nature, owing to the fact that it is not at all likely that the following events, as recorded by myself, occurred the same way in Tolkien�s conceived version of Middle-Earth, but one never knows. And material containing mentioning of homosexuality, and so on and so forth.

Summary: The story of a recently reborn Glorfindel's return to Middle-Earth, and more importantly, the valley of Imladris, is plagued by misfortunes of the magical kind upon his meeting of a particularly odious wizard looking for a little mischief. Hopefully the joke grows old soon, having only just been re-embodied, Glorfindel really would like that body back.

Disclaimer: I am not under the impression that I own the rights to any of Tolkien�s characters or settings, though I might secretly envy the literary genius of his work and long to take it for my own. It is not mine. This story is purely out of the depths of my own imagination and is not intended as an infringement of copyright ao pro profit is being made from it. The Lord of the Rings and all other Tolkien works are the soul property of the Tolkien Estate.

Author�s Note: With too many new ideas streaming into my head for my poor overworked mind to possibly hold, I have been forced to start another Rings story on this account, with my first LotR story sad sadly incomplete for lack of inspiration. This one looks to be turning out much shorter than the first, which hopefully means that I shall have it all finished soon and be able to move on to the myriad of other ideas that plague me night and day to put them in pen, or, rather, computer script, I suppose.

It was commonly known between individuals who had ever met a blue wizard that they were hardly anything but trouble. Blue wizards, as the people had discovered soon after they�d arrived on shores of Middle-Earth, were natural born tricksters who held a simple, childish delight in all things silly, rude, and inconveniencing, usually thought no further ahead than their next planned prank, and, after a time, troubled themselves little with the order of the world. What mission they might have once come with was lost, though they eventually made their way back from the far east to which they had first traveled, they no longer held much interest in the troubles of the people they had been sent to serve. An encounter with one of this sort was hardly ever helpful or productive, and those with foreknowledge of their ways often took great pains to avoid them rather than have dealings. Thankfully there were only ever two blue wizards to come to Middle-Earth, and it was quickly learned that it was better for one�s health to encounter Romestamo the blue than Morinehtar the blue.

Romestamo, known in Valimar as Alatar, was a robust, rosy-cheeked little bungler who was lucky enough to somehow survive the far east into which he had traveled and whose spells, however carefully they might have been planned, always went awry. He enjoyed performing his feats for village children, who were always enthusiastically impressed with his art, despite the fact that he usually only managed to summon all manner of tropical fruits rather than the rabbits he promised. He played harmless practical jokes that rarely ever ruined anything more than a hard day�s work, which could always be done again, or destroyed anything ner nerves. In fact, he did often accomplish some good through the bringing of smiles to otherwise world-weary faces, for laughter, it was said, was the best medicine. He had acquired, through sheer accident, a traveling companion in the form of an unembodied elven spirit named Tithenon who had at first made a most reluctant attendant; it had been very disconcerting for the poor elf, to be summoned all the way from the halls of Mandos, in which his spirit had resided and went about quietly minding its own business, simply because Alatar had cast a summoning spell for a �scroll� and had inadvertently acquired a �soul� instead. But after a time Tithenon at least became resigned to his dependence on Alatar, though the wizard could not find a spell to send him back, he might one day lead him back, and used whatever influence he had over him to spur the fumbling wizard on to tasks of good, or at least keep him to acts that didn�t do too much harm, as it would have been quite impossible to keep the wizard from having his �fun.� Morinehtar, however, was an entirely different matter.

Called Pallando by those who knew him on the blessed shore, he was as far from a harmless, incompetent bungler as he could be. His sense of humor was dark and he found more amusement in malicious acts than simple jokes. Wherever he went he provoked quarrels and created strife between good people, friends and neighbors. He twisted words and sowed seeds of discontent to bring about chaos and sorrow for his own questionable amusement. There were few as met him that came out of the encounter unscathed, for mischief against all people was his chief delight. Perhaps it could have come that Alatar became so as well, but he at least had the conscience of Tithenon to guide him wherever he went, while Pallando had none. As it was the two blue wizards were constantly at odds, one usually striving to undo the work of the o. Gl. Glorfindel, formerly of Gondolin, was one elf who learned the ways of Pallando and Alatar through much trying misfortune.

It came about that the twice-born defender of Gondolin was introduced to the wizard Morinehtar the thr through the means of the wizard, his friend and traveling companion, Gandalf the grey, who had hailed his fellow wizard as Pallando; and so did Glorfindel always call him to his face, though after a period of dealing with him, he developed other names for him which were rather less charitable and best not to mention here.

Glorfindel had taken up with the wizard shortly after his rebirth and return to Middle-Earth. Desiring to see the change of the lands since his last life upon it, Glorfindel joined with Gandalf, who, despite having come to the far shore only a few years ahead of the elven warrior, knew most of the distant places of the west and the south from his frequent journeys from one region to another. In this way Glorfindel made his studies of the new lands and those people that inhabited them.

Gandalf, for his part, tolerated Glorfindel�s presence fairly well, even going so far as to enjoy his constant company. It was, he admitted, heartening to observe the reborn warrior�s renewed and enthusiastic respect for life, even menial chores were carried out by him cheerfully. Glorfindel�s personal philosophy seemed to be that every day that dawned was brighter and more beautiful than the last and, therefore, too fine to waste on a frown whether there was rain or sun, comfort or harsh conditions. His optimism was, under most circumstances, satisfying and ultimately refreshing. And it was some long time after making one another�s acquaintance and traveling together that they finally came to a parting of ways. Glorfindel felt his learning sufficient and that it was high time he make his way to the one elvish realm that he had yet to see - Imladris, home of the Lord Elrond Perhedel descended of his own first lord, Turgon.
