Chapter 25
Time goes by slowly. Erestor has yet to ask to see me or even make an appearance from his room. Every time I pass his room I hear him pacing and Lady Galadriel talking. According to Elrond his son is angry and confused but I myself am also confused. How and why?
As I pass his room the door flies open and all I see is something black pass by me.
"Glorfindel! Grab him" Galadriel calls as she comes to the doorway. Quickly I take after the prince Getting close to him I warp my arms around his waist.
"Let me go!" He yells and claws at my hands.
"Erestor. It's me. Glorfindel"
"Don't call me that. My name is Russ!"
The golden lady rushes over and takes his face gently in her hands.
"Your name is Erestor little prince. You know this is true. I know your scared and confused" She storks the long hair. "Your Ada, brothers are worried about you. Glorfindel as well"
"Elrond..Is not my real Ada" Erestor looks away from her.
"In this life he most certainly is. You have his smile, kind heart and healing skills. You have the twins stubbornness and love of life. Yes you used to be Elrond's adviser but now you are his child. He dear son"
Erestor goes limp in my arms.
"Why me?"
"Because you have done so many great things. Your love was pure, your heart innocent. The gods choose you to have another life. It is a great honor to be in your presence. They knew Elrond would protect and love As well" Galadriel smiles softly at me.
"Glorfindel?" Erestor places his hands on mine.
"I am here" I let him go and he turns to look at me.
"Every vision I had was of you.."
Galadriel moves away to give us space.
"I saw you asking him to marry you" He looks down and plays with his fingers.
"No Erestor. You as me ask you"
Hesitantly he nods making the lady smile.
"Do you still feel for me?" I gently ask being careful with my words.
"I..I don't know" His words make my heart drop a little.
"That is fine. I want you to know I've missed you terribly and feel kind of ashamed I didn't see this before. I went to see you almost every day"
"See me?"
"Um..your grave"
"Take me"
"What?" I ask shocked.
"Take me there" he demands. I look at Galadriel and she the prince and I head outside and to the grave where his former self is buried. He doesn't say a word as he kneels down on the ground and wipes the snow away to show a name.
"Oh my.." His hand covers his mouth.
"Laying you to sleep was the hardest thing Elrond and I ever had to do"
He wraps his arms around himself and slowly rocks back and forth. I kneel down beside him.
"I am not going to pretend I know what you are going through but know that I am here. Like I always was. In this life and the last."
"Elrond..?"
"Is your real father yes. As the twins are your older brothers. All who love you."
Erestor shivers from the cold.
"Come here" I put my arms around his shoulders and pull his body to mine..
"I cannot believe this. I remember almost everything. You helped raise me and my...mother"
"Yes Eve."
"Everything she did to me. Her and her husband." Erestor's hands grip the snow in anger.
"They are being punished Russ. You will no longer be hurt. I will not allow that. I still love you and always will"
He looks up at me with teary brown eyes.
"Russ. My nickname"
"Yes. Prince Russ" Smiling I wipe his tears. "The little prince of Rivendell"
"Do you think I could see El..Ada?"
"Of course. I'm sure he would love to see you" We get up and he sadly moves away from me. This whole thing is so odd but like Galadriel and Elrond I must learn to accept that the lover I buried is once again alive. We go into the palace and find Elrond with the twins in the dinning hall. Elrond smiles at his son.
"Russ. How are you?" He says and hugs him.
"I feel better." Erestor smiles. " Though I think you could have chosen a better mother for me"
"Oh my son. " Elrond laughs. "If I know I was going to have you I would have"
"It is very weird to know I was your adviser." He rest his head on his father's chest.
"Yes. Now my own son. Part of my family like I always counted you to be. You are more suited to this kind of life I think" Elrond smiles as Erestor yawns. "You must be drained from all this. Come. I'll take you to your room to rest"
Erestor glances at me as Elrond leads him away. It is killing me to know it's him and him maybe not feeling the same anymore.
