Chapter 1
The woods leading to the gates of Imladris were quite a beautiful sight, after a month's time for the human. He and his friend, and brothers had been out hunting to refurbish the supplies of the kitchen. All of their horses were laden down now with a variety of bucks. Estel was weary of the wilderness, and wished for nothing more than a soft bed, and a warm bath. He turned his head as he heard snickers behind him, and spotted a couple of dark haired brothers trying to hide their smiles.
"What are you two laughing about?" came the human's voice trying to sound menacing, but failing.
"We are laughing at you little brother. Lean any further on that horse and you will get to see the ground up close and personal."
Estel straightened himself immediately not wanting to look tired in front of the others, but the fact was he was exhausted and longed to see his bed. He turned to look at his brothers and Legolas again and a small smile came across his face.
"What is the smile for?"
"It seems that the prince of Mirkwood is quite the mess also, his usually prissiness has been worn away and replaced with dirt." Estel not being able to contain himself any further, laughed out loud. He sat clutching his side when Legolas began to try to rub the dirt from his face with his sleeve. This was followed by a snort from Elladan and the words "prissy" from Elrohir.
"Some of us like the keep up our appearence even when out in the wilds. You three could learn a thing or two there."
Legolas scowled at them all, and asked if the could possibly stop by the stream and get some water to wash up before making the last hour ride to Imladris.
"We are not stopping for you to primp like some she elf. We are but an hour away from home, and I for one wish to get there before nightfall."
Legolas glared "Yes I would like to arrive also before some malady befalls us. You know Estel brings trouble wherever he goes."
"Me, I think it is you who are the trouble maker Legolas."
Elladan was about to comment that it was the both of them when they heard a loud rumble, and Estel's face turned a bright shade of red. "Estel it seems your stomach could wake the dead."
"Excuse me but someone burnt last nights dinner. All I want is to get home to some of Galathian's cooking."
This brought watering mouths to all of them just thinking of the many times the kitchens were filled with the delightful smells of her cooking.
"I want her beef stew, no wait her blueberry pie, no I think what I want most is her chocolate cake. Yes that is it, her chocolate cake."
Estel laughed so hard at Elladan he almost fell from his horse again. "It is true she is the best cook in all of Imladris. Let us hurry now and get back. The last one back has to kiss a dwarf!" and with this he heeled his horse and was off.
"Hey no fair!" the other three yelled, but they gave chase not wanting to lose out to Estel of all people, who would never let them live it down.
Elrond looked out over the expanse of Imladris and saw off in the distance four riders approaching very swiftly. He gave a smile that his sons were finally home, and chided himself for it also. It seemed every since Estel had come he had slipped time and again into the adan's world of time. No longer did it go by so quickly, but instead it seemed to drag on when they were gone. He lifted his robes and ran swiftly from the door to be outside to greet them.
Estel spoke to his horse softly. "Please can you go any faster, I cannot lose again to my brothers." The horse seemed to understand the pleading in his voice and pushed past the other three with a quick burst of speed. It was so quick in fact Estel saw his father a bit to late, and Elrond had to jump out of the way before being run over.
Estel jumped from his horse quickly and ran over to his father. The look on his face was one of relief, as he had narrowly avoided being run over by the horse.
"Estel what on Middle Earth are you galloping in here for like Sauron himself were on your heels."
Estel hung his head, "Well not exactly Sauron, but I do think they could give his minions a run for their money. As he spoke these words his brothers and Legolas came galloping in hard and fast into the courtyard. Again Elrond had to use his elven swiftness to move out of the path of horse hooves.
"Ada are you alright?" the twins questioned each running over.
"I would be alot better if my sons did not frequently try to send me to the Halls of Mandos. I assume that the three of you galloping in here had something to do with your brother."
The twins and Legolas were about to tell off Estel for getting a head start when Elrond spoke again. "Let me end this before it starts. Your brother beat you fair and square. Perhaps he has learned a thing or two from his brothers and friend. You should feel proud that your help in his riding lessons as a child, have enabled him to best you in a race." Elrond had said this to make both sides happy. Estel for beating his brothers and friend, and the others so they would think they had something to do with why Estel was so swift.
"I think now you should all go wash up and I will have something for you to eat prepared."
He got no groans at these words as all four ran past him into the house shouting we love you Ada over their shoulders.
Elrond shook his head and turned to go inside. What a glorious day it was. His sons were home, as well as Prince Legolas and all seemed fit and hale. The sun was high in the sky and the birds sang of the praises of the day. "Welcome home my sons." he said to himself before finally going in and shutting the door behind him.
