CHAPTER 10
Neurion slowly approached Celeborn.
" Lord Celeborn?"
Celeborn inadvertently took a step back, causing Neurion to sigh.
" I did not come to harm you."
Celeborn saw Alyan watching them.
" I am glad you have found love Neurion."
Neurion lowered his head.
" Thank you my Lord, but I have come to beg your forgiveness."
Celeborn looked into Neurion's eyes. The eyes that once held anger and hatred in them were now full of sorrow and regret. Celeborn laid his hand on Neurion's shoulder.
" You have my forgiveness Neurion, no need to beg. Now go to your beloved."
Neurion smiled and hugged Celeborn. Celeborn smiled as he watched Neurion walk back toward Alyan. He had much changed since their time together. Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around Celeborn's waist. If Celeborn had not known Thranduil had been nearby, he would have attacked the elf.
" Thranduil nin, what if I had not known it was you?"
Thranduil chuckled.
" I would assume I would be flat on the ground."
Celeborn laughed.
" That you would be."
Thranduil and Celeborn made their way towards the rooms of the Lords of Imladris for evening meal. Hadereth was waiting for them. Thranduil noticed that Elrond was being held by Hadereth, but Erestor was nowhere in sight. Thranduil stepped closer to Elrond.
" What has happened?"
Elrond turned to face Thranduil.
" Erestor will not be joining us. He will be working until late."
As they all walked into the rooms, Thranduil chuckled.
" That does not surprise me."
