Fan Fiction ❯ Light of Hope ❯ Part 2 ( Chapter 2 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Yes I'm still alive, barely. I don't usually write Elrond/Glorfindel, prefering to pair Elrond up with Legolas. Hopefully I please those who enjoy the Elrond/Glorfindel fans. Here's another part. Sometimes I need prodding to get me going again. But next semester, I'm taking creative writing, so I might be able to finish a few fics. I wonder if I can submit any of these...

~Light of Hope - Part 2~

The orcs and goblins grew bored with the four for the day and left them in peace to try and heal their wounds. Mithrandir glanced at Legolas in concern.

"Legolas, how do you fare?" Mithrandir inquired. "I know this must be hard on you. We three have anticipated this occurrence when we took on the responsibility, yet you were left in the dark I fear."

"I will survive this Mithrandir. I have to. For the future of Middle Earth." Legolas replied softly. "I knew these foul beings were devious, but never have I thought to feel such agony."

Elrond reassured Legolas, "We will be free once more Legolas. Have hope. Get some rest. We will need all of our strength for the morrow."

Legolas slipped into uneasy reverie under the watchful eyes of Elrond, Galadriel, and Mithrandir. His thoughts drifted to Haldir and what he was doing at the moment. 'Haldir, my love, I miss you so.'

Elrond shared a look with Mithrandir and Galadriel. He didn't know how much more Legolas could take before he broke and revealed the location of Narya. To try to keep his hopes up, Elrond reflected back to better days with his beloved Glorfindel and how he would try to cheer him up.

~START FLASHBACK~

Elrond paced in his study with worry written on his face. This was the first of many outings for his twin sons to hunt orcs in vengeance of what they did to their mother. Elrond just knew it. He knew his sons were warriors, powerful in their own strengths, but his human emotions got the better of him and he worried for their safety. Whether they would return broken, or dead. Glorfindel was helpless to watch as Elrond paced about.

"My Elrond, Elladan and Elrohir are skilled warriors." Glorfindel tried to reason.

Elrond replied with a rant, "They shouldn't have gone out alone. I should have tried to stop them. I should-"

"My love," Glorfindel interrupted, "have faith that your sons will return to you whole. You can speak with them then on forming a hunting band. Let them learn this life lesson of hunting orcs in a group, praying for their safe return. Then speak to them about their actions. Let them first extinguish their anger and heal their physical wounds."

Glorfindel opened his arms in welcome. Elrond sighed and let Glorfindel wrap his arms around him.

"When did you become so wise?" Elrond asked, closing his eyes.

"When I started hanging around you. You have an eerie way of rubbing off on people." Glorfindel replied. "And I love you all the more for it."

Glorfindel brushed Elrond's cheek gently with the back of his hand, softly singing,
"Excuse my forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is - what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen"

Elrond smiled and opened his eyes.

"You always know how to make me smile." Elrond said, snuggling into Glorfindel's warmth. "Especially that verse."

"You know my heart, it's only fair that I know yours." Glorfindel confided.

~END FLASHBACK~

Elrond smiled at the memory. 'Come soon my love. I do not know for how long we will fare.'
