Enjoy!
oOoOoOo
For two weeks,
Elrond sat by his eldest sons
bed, not knowing how to help bring him back to
consciousness. Celeborn had healed the head wound, but
Elladan was so weak from the blood loss it
caused him to fall into a deep healing sleep.
Celeborn had his suspicions, but he could do nothing without proof.
This was one time the high-Elf lord wished that Galadriel was here. With her powers of looking into the past
with her mirror would have shown that Serιgon was the
culprit for putting his grandson into such
peril.
Alas, it was not
to be. Serιgon and his sister departed for home the
following morning. Thranduil was so excited from the
news he left for the entire morning to mingle with the Elves of his realm,
because of his abrupt departure he didnt received the message of his impending guests.
oOoOoOo
The marchwarden was back on his feet after a few days of rest. He
gave Legolas all of his energy to prevent his husband from going into labor. Haldir couldnt
even imagine going through the rest of his immortal life knowing he could have
done something to save his unborn children. He thanked the Valar
every day since for his husband
Hello
Haldir, Rϊmil called as he waved his hand in front of his older
brothers face.
Sorry, brother, I
was just
thinking, Haldir admitted, blushing at
being caught unawares.
Rϊmil smiled warmly at
his older brother. Probably about
that radiant mate of yours no doubt.
Silver-blue orbs
narrowed. Well, now that you
have my attention, Rϊmil, is there something you
wanted?
Aye, Adar had requested our presence
immediately. Meet us in Elladans room.
The middle brother
left. Haldir groaned. Now he had to shower and change. The marchwarden placed
his long sword in its scabbard and grabbed his
quiver and bow, leaving the training ground to head back to his room.
oOoOoOo
Elrond was napping
when Lord Celeborn entered. The silver-haired elf regarded
his long time friend with concerned eyes. Something needed to be done about
Elronds underlining
depression. The half-elf never once complained
about being alone, but Celeborn could see it in
his eyes. Elrond was not an elf meant to live
by himself. He needed the love and comfort of a mate.
Moreover, it seemed as good as any time to discuss the issue
with Elrond. However, his sons
picked the perfect (or rather not so perfect) time to make their entrance. One
by one, the trio entered pretty much in the same way soundless and graceful.
They bowed to
their father and to Elrond. He woke after Celeborn nudged his foot to let him
know of they arrival. The brothers sat down in the offered seats that were
brought in for this meeting.
Ill get to the point because we dont have much time, Celeborn began as he paced on the other side of Elladans bed. Your
Naneth has just
informed that she along with Arwen and the rest of
Elronds family are on
their way here.
For what? Rϊmil questioned curious as
to why his mother was coming. In all the long years of his life, he never knew
of her leaving the realm at the same time as their father. Obviously, something
was afoot.
Celeborn stopped
pacing. For one, Elrohir and Arwen are worried about Elladan,
and second, Galadriel has told me that the truth of Elladans attack is hidden from her.
Orophin jumped out of his
chair. This is madness! We all know that Orc, Serιgon, had something to do with it!
Mind your
language, Orophin. I will not tolerate such disrespect! Celeborns
voice boomed, causing Orophin
to drop his head in shame.
There is a way.
Everyone looked at
the older Marchwarden.
:No, Haldir! They mustnt know: Rϊmil called out.
:Rϊmil is right, Haldir. If this ever gets out, we along with our family could be in danger. Naneth is all ready feared because of her power. What do
you think they will do to us?:
Orophin countered,
supporting his older brothers claim.
:Elladan is our friend. We owe him as such before anything else happens to
another innocent. We are Marchwardens.
Guardians here in Middle-earth to protect those who cannot
protect themsElves against evil,: Haldir argued back with his younger siblings.
Celeborn and
Elrond were taken aback when the room went dead silent, and by the brothers
facial expressions, they we having a heated
discussion.
Adar, Lord Elrond, before we continue we must not have any
of this repeated outside of this room, Haldir declared.
The High-elf lords agreed to the terms by the seriousness
of Haldirs voice. My brothers and I have gained Naneths gifts, Adar. We kept
silent about them because others would fear us, some would want to possess us,
and many would want to kill us.
This was what
Celeborn and Galadriel feared. For centuries they watched their sons to see if
any of them, especially Haldir, had develop
Galadriels gift of sight, and now it seemed
all of them had.
We will discuss
our gifts in detail later. Right now let Orophin talk with Elladan, Haldir instructed.
The younger Galadhrim took Elronds place next the older twin. Orophin
inhaled deeply and slowly exhaled, and then he
held onto his friends hand plunging
into the jumbled images of Elladans mind.
oOoOoOo
By the time Haldir
and his brothers finished doing all that they could do for Elladan,
the palace was in a state of panic. The fanfare
of horns announced the arrival of the caravan of travelers. Celeborn and Elrond stood
with Aragorn, Faramir, (a
very pregnant) Legolas, Haldir, Rϊmil, and Orophin to greet the newly arrived visitors.
Riding in front
was an extremely handsome and regal elf. Long, flaxen
hair bounded with every trot of the massive
beast he rode. A golden circlet med with
flowers could be seen upon his brow. A bow and a quiver of arrow with yellow
feather fringe were strapped
to his back as well as a long sword at his side. The dark cloak he wore hid his body from view,
but without a doubt, he was well toned.
Behind him rode a row of guards,
and then a row of three males. One of the males was blond-haired, fully armed in the same fashion as the
elf leading the group. He was dressed in silver-grey tunic, dark leggings,
cloak and black boots he was a Galadhrim.
Next to him, stiffly sat a dark headed elf. Who it seemed didnt ride very often if at all. The elf in question represented an official of some sort who probably sat behind a desk surrounded by tomes and
gave orders.
The last elf rode elegantly with his blinding white hair a strange, but exotic
color of hair. He radiated calmness and joy from the bright beaming smile.
The next group of Elves to enter into the
courtyard were swaddled in dark grey, similar to the Galadhrim.
Their faces were hidden from view except for the familiar dark head of Elronds son, Elrohir. The rest of
the company consisted of whatever else was
needed for the long journey.
Legolas stepped forward as the leading
elf leaped off his white stallion in one fluid motion.
Mea Govennie, Lord Glorfindel.
Mae Govennie, Prince Legolas, Captain Haldir.
I apologize for my
fathers absence. He went around the realm visiting, Legolas explained as the others approached.
Mae Govennie, Prince Legolas.
Lady Arwen.
Legolas rest a
hand on his enormous round belly. Haldir stood beside him with his hand
supporting the small of Legolas
back.
All pleasantries were broken by Elrohirs greeting, Legolas, Haldir! the younger twin
called out to his friends as he aided a female
from her mare. The prince noticed that she too was pregnant,
but not too far along to make the journey.
Prince Legolas, a soft melodic voice greeted.
My Lady.
I trust that you
are all faring well. My husband relayed some heart
wrenching tales of you nearly miscarrying as well as my grandsons attack.
Galadriel was over dramatic sometimes and tended to blow things out
proportions.
I assure you, Lady Galadriel, that all is well for the time
being. Please
Nay, not all is
well! the healer called out.
Legolas restrained himself from rolling his eyes. Elrond was
another with a flare for the dramatics.
Elrond?
Galadriel, your
son-in-law, should be right now in bed! Not standing on his feet, putting undue pressure on his uterus.
Im going, Lord Elrond, Legolas huffed as Haldir led
him back inside the palace.
Arwen and Aragorn were talking with Faramir, Elrohir and his companion.
How bad is it,
Elrond? Galadriel asked
once her sons were out of earshot.
He is still
unconscious. He is in a deep healing sleep. Also, we have discovered that
Prince Serιgon is the reason my son
almost died.
H-
How we found out
is not important. What is important is that he must be punished for almost
committing an act of Kin slaying.
Until Thranduil returns let the matter be, Celeborn said. Come, my love, let me show you to our chambers.
Celeborn led his mate inside, leaving
Elrond with his family.
My Lord.
Erestor, please tell me that you tried to talk Arwen out of this little adventure?
You know your
daughter she gets her
stubbornness from you, my Lord, Erestor replied.
Elrond glared at
his advisor for the comment, but Erestor just ignored
the other dark headed elf.
Legolas has left
instructions with the staff to get everyone settled. Why dont you and Lindir freshen up? You look
like you could use a hot bath and a warm meal. I need to speak with Glorfindel.
Erestor and Lindir bowed to Elrond and departed as well.
Adar.
Arwen- the elf-maiden raised
a delicate hand to silence her father.
Dont start with me. I am concerned for my brother and my friend.
Im not going to argue
with you on that. However, you should have talked with me before deciding
something as foolhardy as this. How do you think Thranduil
is going to react at having is home invaded not to mention seeing his daughter here, Elrond all but yelled.
It was a known fact that Thranduil did not
like surprises of any kind.
Arwen hung her head in
shame for her impetuous decision
she was taught better than that. Elrond lifted his daughters head by her chin.
Do not be ashamed for doing what you feel is right, but in the future please just fore warn me.
Okay, she answered, after being
properly chastised by her father.
Now, Elrohir, please take your mate to your room. Do not leave
her unattended in the palace or on the grounds. The guards have explicit
instructions to arrest her on sight. I will check on you later. Elrond turn to Que. I see my son has been preoccupied with you than his
duties as a Lord.
Que blushed. It is not my intent to keep him from overseeing Imladris, my Lord.
Dont blame her, Elrond. Your son was acting like an elfling barely past Majority, Glorfindel
teased, causing Elrohir to turn red.
Every one there
laughed.
Well, big brother,
if I didnt
know any better, Id say youre a hormonal
teenager all over again,
Aragorn jested as he clipped Elrohir on the back.
Everyone followed
the servants inside to the entry hall. The Peredhil
family caught up on what had been happening as well as
the plans to have Arwen and Aragorns wedding
in Mirkwood.
oOo TBC oOo
A/N: Well, not
much went on in this chapter. I just needed to get them all together and what
better way to do that than to have a wedding. Want to find out if Serιgon gets dragged back to Mirkwood?
Then stay tuned for the next chapter.

oOo Teaser for Chapter 19 oOo
I just want what
is best for him, Arwen gently whispered.
Do not concern
yourself with the lives of the First born. I want what is best for my Ada as well and I would do anything to make him happy again even if I have to fight Mandos himself to do it, Legolas declared, not realizing
the truth of his words.
