I Am Flying!

Eldarion: 10

"I am going higher!"

"No, I am!"

Aragorn laughed where he was sat on the grass, his back against a tree as he watched the scene play out in front of him.

Glorfindel had had the amazing idea of tying two pieces of string to a sturdy branch and attaching a piece of wood to the end, successfully creating a swing. He had made two of these, and they were now being occupied by Prince Eldarion and Lady Eleniel, who were clearly having a competitive match on who could swing the highest.

Elladan was pushing Eleniel, while Elrohir was pushing Eldarion, and it was just as much a competition for the twins.

"We are winning!" Elrohir said with a triumphant grin, giving the boy another push which sent him squealing as he soared high.

Elladan looked over to his brother. "That is not fair. You don't have as much to push."

"Are you calling me fat?" Eleniel accused as she glared over her shoulder at her smirking brother.

"Daerada! Daerada, look! I am flying!" Eldarion shrieked as he saw Lord Elrond walk across the gardens towards them.

The elf lord nodded with a smile. "I can see." He grimaced as his eldest son pushed particularly hard. "Valar, Elrohir, you will push him off if you are not careful."

"At least we'll have won!" the younger twin told him.

Elrond rolled his eyes as he sat on the grass next to Aragorn, stretching his legs out in front of him while he watched his sons bicker.

"I bet I could push Dari higher," the King of Gondor remarked, looking thoughtfully at his son.

Elrond raised his eyebrows. "The swing will go right over the branch if it goes higher than that."

Aragorn huffed. "You are only saying that because you know I would beat you if I were to push him and you were to push Eleniel."

Elrond glared at his son. "Indeed? Well," he said with a smirk, "let us find out."
