Estel and Aranarth

:Some of the OC's by Siobhan and Cassia from Mellon Chronicles (www.aragorn-legolas. Those characters belong to them and they get credit for them. Also, my elvish is poor and structure of some sentances may be wrong, so forgive me. All tranlastions will be posted after story.: Rated PG for battle sequences and angst. I also forgot to mention that I get no credit for any of Tolkien's belongings. As one fellow writer put it, "I sold them all for chocolate." :

"Man run, Ada!" Estel jumped into Lord Elrond's lap and gave him a big hug.

"Man run, Estel. What are you up to hi run?'

"Moranuen and I are going for a walk in the gardens."

"Okay, but we must get our studies done." The 8 year old nodded his head in agreement and jumped down. He ran over to where Moranuen was waiting for him.

"Tul, Mora!" Estel grabbed Mora's hand and pulled him towards the doors that awaited them. "Pella vana hi sinome. Hi loth im ve. Vinya nayes?" Estel pointed at the small golden flower.

"Lothorienello nayes. Esse Elanor nayes. I vana Galadriel gave them to us to plant in our garden." Moranuen than remembered that Elrond had recieved a letter from his daughter and he had yet to give it to him. He, excused himself from Estel's prescence and left the child alone. The little one wandered about aimlessly. He came to the stables where Thoronmegil ang Anorgil were trying to restrain a wild stallion.

The white horse reared and whinnied. Estel watched from a distance as the two Nolders restrained the stallion into a stall and left. As soon as they were out of sight, the mischievious little boy ran into the stables. Slowly, he approached the stallion with his hand outstretched. Anorgil remembered he forgot to put away the horse brushes and was returning.

The stallion grunted and cantered a little to the side. He was just a few inches away, when his wrist was graabed by Anorgil, who pulled him away. "Estel, what do you think you are doing? You could have gotten seriously hurt. You know you are not allowed in here by yourself. You are lucky I am not going to tell your ada." Estel bowed his head. Anorgil continued softer, "Now go on and get to your studies." The boy walked shamedly back into the house. He walked past the painted walls and into Elrond's study. He dragged his feet over to a big chair and plopped down into it.

"Estel, ion nin le man?" Elrond knelt down in front of the boy.

"Man nan". He kept his eyes downward. Elrond nodded his head and stood up straight. He picked up a book off of the desk and handed it to Estel.

"Teluvar i parma ar the we will have a quiz over it, allright?" A silent nod was his reply. Elrond sat back down in his chair and resumed with the letter he was writing. He signed, sealed, and addressed it. "Celboril," the servant entered, Elrond handed the letter to Celboril, "and bring us some tea as well."

"I shall send the letter straight away, hir nin." He bowed and smiled and shut the door behind him. Elrond smiled back. It has been some years since he saw his daughter. With this letter, he was hopeful to see her soon. His twin sons were expected home today. He was hoping to surprise Estel with this news later, but he needed to cheer the boy up. "Your gwadors are coming home today." Estel looked up from his book, his face all aglow. That did the trick.

Estel and his ada were standing on the porch awaiting the two. They came across the stone bridge and dismounted. They were met with a tackling hug with a flash of dark hair and a short figure. "'Dan! 'Rho! I missed you so much!"

They laughed, "We missed you too."

"We brought you something." 'Rho let out a whistle and a little puppy came running up to the trio. Elrond's brow went up. The little boy's laughter lit up the valley as he scooped down and picked up the little brown and black dog.

"Celboril is not going to be very happy about this," Elrond crossed his arms. More laughter elicited from the boys, "So what are you going to call him, Estel?"

"I am going to call him...Aranarth."

The wise elf picked up the child, "A vana esse nayes."
