Disclaimer: Don't own anyone or anything..well except Hadereth, Neurion, and Alyan lol...

Pairings: Celeborn/Orophin, Elrond/Erestor/OC, Thranduil/Saelbeth, Legolas/Haldir...

Summary: Celeborn becomes (somewhat) withdrawn again after Thranduil deceives him...Will Celeborn find his true mate of soul?

CHAPTER 1

Celeborn sat in his talan. He would leave for Imladris with his envoy in two days for Elrond's begetting day. The envoy of Mirkwood was on their way there already. Celeborn purposefully postponed their leaving date so he would not have to see Thranduil beforehand. Celeborn felt tears come to his eyes. Thranduil. They had been in what Celeborn would have called love. Thranduil had even brought Celeborn out of his hiding, but Celeborn had been deceived. Thranduil and he broke from one another only a week after Celeborn had arrived in Mirkwood. Why? Thranduil had found his true mate of soul. Saelbeth, who was an Assistant Advisor who had once lived in Imladris and now in Mirkwood. Celeborn took a deep breath. His mate of soul had to be out there somewhere. Celeborn felt the tears trying to force themselves from his eyes and upon hearing a knock at the door, wiped at them furiously.

"Enter."

The door opened, revealing Haldir.

"Lord Celeborn,"Haldir said, inclining his head, "We have received word from Mirkwood. Legolas has requested that he, Neurion, and Alyan be allowed to voyage with us to Imladris."

Celeborn seemed to think on it for a moment. He and Neurion were friends now as were he and Neurion's husband, Alyan. Celeborn did not care for the King of Mirkwood any longer, but he had befriended Legolas sometime ago after he and Haldir had wed. There was one question on Celeborn's mind.

"The Mirkwood party is two days ahead of us."

Haldir shook his head, then grinned.

"My husband and his two friends did not leave with the Mirkwood envoy. They are against what..happened."

Haldir bit his lip, hoping he had not upset the Lorien Lord. Celeborn smiled gently.

"All is well Haldir. Send word to your husband, they may journey with us."

Haldir thanked Celeborn and then left. Celeborn chuckled to himself. What a better way to anger Thranduil than to have his son arrive with the Lothlorien envoy.
