Chapter 1
Namo, Lord of the Halls of Waiting moved easily through his realm passing fea here and there. Some of the Fea within his halls would be healed and released into Valinor; while others were doomed to remain. Such was the fate of King Feanor and most of his descendants. Just as Namo, or Mandos as he was more commonly referred thought of Feanor's line, his gaze was drawn to a quiet pool where young elf was seated. The young ellon was uncommonly beautiful for a male; with silky raven hair that fell to his middle back, delicate features, creamy skin and silver/blue eyes. Ai, indeed the child was striking, but he was also Feanor's grandson. "Fair Morning, Child. Why do you continue to sit here, and ignore those of your kin?" Mandos asked, as he sat himself beside the pool. "They hold little interest to me my Lord. Besides, why get attached if I am fated to remain here, and they are not?" The Valar of the Dead eyed the bitter young elf quizzically, "Loneliness fosters bitter feelings little Fea. You should interact. Who knows? I may yet release you". The Fea turned, and gazed into the water as Elrond Half-Elven's form appeared. Eyeing the pool, Mandos again spoke, "You watch Elrond Peredhel. Why?" "He was my friend, Hir nin", the youth responded. " I have always watched him, and always will. My but he has grown tall, strong and handsome. He is everything I had hoped him to become; a fierce warrior, a sharp intellectual, compassionate ruler, powerful healer, and devoted father. I am so very proud of him, my Lord. Watching him makes the passing of time...far more bearable. At least for me". "If I remember correctly little Fea, your family did not approve of such a friendship. And would not understand your continued devotion to him". Erestor responded with a laugh, and spoke, "That is an understatement, but I care not. He was my dearest friend until we were forced to part ways by my family". Namo watched the young elf for a moment, and then nodded his understanding, "They had you killed when you sacrificed yourself for him. Elrond killed one of your grandfather's generals and you took the blame. For which you were flogged, and burned at the stake". "Aye, Daeradar wanted to make an example of me. But I regret it not, General Nika was a pig. He often tried to take liberties with the twins. If I had been there at the time of the General's death, I likely would have killed him anyway". Erestor gazed off into the water for a moment before continuing, "Elrond came to me afterward. Told me what had happened. I advised him to say nothing of it to anyone. I had gone out to try and dispose of the body, but it was too late. The body was missing. The following day, Grandfather held a meeting. The animosity between General Nika and Elrond was well documented, and Grandfather had finally found an opportunity to have Elrond killed. He did not want to risk Elrond growing up and into power, all around him, there were those who saw Elrond's potential. So Grandfather accused him of the murder, and ordered my friend be arrested. At which time, I confessed. I knew that Elrond would not receive a fair trial. Grandfather was furious with me, demanded that I retract my confession. When I did not, he gave the sentence for me to be publicly beaten, and then burned". Erestor paused staring down the hall in the direction of his deceased family, "I do not believe he wanted to carry it out in the beginning. He wanted to scare me into retracting my confession. When I did not, he decided to make an example of me. That anyone who killed a high ranking officer, no matter his position would suffer my fate. I was killed later that evening, and Elrond was forced to watch". Silence reigned for a time as Feanor's grandson stared off into the water at Elrond who was busily signing trade agreements. Mandos in turn was staring into Erestor's heart and mind, after what seemed like hours, but was more likely only seconds, The ruler of the dead spoke, "Well it seems your friend is in trouble again. His wife has relinquished her bondage claim of him, and has sailed into the West. The cause of her actions I will not disclose but Elrond is taking her absence hard, and is fading fast. I believe he could use a friend". Before Erestor had properly turned to demand an explanation his vision went dark. And when next, the grandson of Feanor opened his eyes, it was to find himself laying upon soft grass, gazing up at the stars with a camp fire off to his right, with a strange grizzled grey wizard seated beside it; watching him, while sedately smoking a pipe.
