CHAPTER 10

Erestor searched nearly everywhere for Ecthelion, but could not find him. Erestor sat on a bench in the gardens. It was highly likely that Ecthelion hated him now. Erestor felt a tear slide down his cheek. He had loved Ecthelion for so long, but that one night had changed everything. Erestor had wondered why Ecthelion had called him 'seron vell' in that letter if all he meant to do was degrade him in it. Erestor took a deep breath. All hope was lost for him and Ecthelion. It was something they could never get back.

" Erestor?" A voice whispered.

Erestor knew that voice.

" Hello Ecthelion."

Ecthelion swallowed hard.

" May I sit?"

Erestor shrugged.

" I do not know. Perhaps you would not like sharing a bench with a common whore."

Ecthelion flinched. He knelt in front of Erestor and took the Advisor's hands into his own.

" Erestor, please look at me."

Erestor raised his head slightly.

" Why should I want to look upon you?"

Ecthelion saw the tear streaks on Erestor's face.

" I want to apologize to you Erestor. I do not think you are a whore. I never did. I was afraid to let myself love you."

Erestor let out a dry laugh.

" Now that there is no other to warm your bed, you want me to forgive you?"

Erestor pulled out of Ecthelion's grasp.

" You want my forgiveness, you do it properly."

Ecthelion's eyes widened at Erestor's next statement.

"Crawl, Ecthelion. Crawl."

With a humorless laugh, Erestor walked away.
