CHAPTER 1

Erestor sat in his study. He could not believe what tragedies had befallen him. He had watched elves parish before his very eyes. First there had been his brother Ecthelion, then Glorfindel who had been returned to Middle Earth by the valar, his former love Celebrimbor, and eventually his King. The only thing that kept him going at times were the ones who had rescued him from a horrible fate of his own in Gondolin. He often thought of Hadereth and Andro. They were not in the valley with him, but in Mirkwood, serving their king. Erestor sighed and attempted to set to his work. Was there another who had suffered as he had? Perhaps Lord Elrond had. He had lost many dear to his heart. Like Erestor, he had lost their King as well. They had fought for many years trying to figure out whose fault it was. Erestor nearly laughed at that. Elrond had decided that their King was to blame because he knew of the dangers of war and had gone anyhow. Erestor shook his head, then once again attempted to start his work for the day. He did not raise his head when the door to his study opened.

" Hello Erestor nin."

Erestor smiled and raised his head to see his beautiful beloved standing there.

"Elrohir nin, what are you doing here?"

Elrohir pretended to pout.

"Are you not happy to see me?"

Erestor smiled brightly.

"I am always happy to see you."

Elrohir walked around the expanse of his desk and plopped lightly into his lap.

" Meleth, you should come outside with me today."

Erestor shook his head slightly.

"I must get some work done today meleth, but I promise you I am all yours after noon meal."

Elrohir's eyes lit up. Erestor never stopped work before nightfall.

"Really?"

Erestor nodded.

" Yes my love. Now quit pestering me so I can work."

Elrohir giggled and stood to leave. He kissed Erestor's forehead.

"I will see you after noon meal."

Erestor nodded, smiling to himself as he heard the door close. Elrohir, his beloved had come to him when he had needed him most. As an elfling, Elrohir had known there was something amiss with him and now as an adult elf, he would chase away Erestor's every nightmare. Erestor set to his work. He knew if he did not, he would have to break his promise to Elrohir.
