The Visitors

~Glorfindel~

I was so happy that King Thranduil had nothing against our love.
My worst fear had been that he would reject Legolas. That would have been terribly cruel for my lover.
But there were no problems at all. Sirius and Solem seemed to be happy that their little brother had finally found
someone who truly loved him. And even Thranduil lost his distrust soon.
I could see how proud he was when Legolas showed them what he had learned.
Everything seemed to be fine until Elrond came to me one day.
"Glorfindel, I've got something for you."
"What is it?"
"A letter from your children." He gave it to me.
"Thank you." I said and began to read.

Dear Adar!

We are so sorry that we didn't visit you for such a long time, but soon we will arrive in Imladris.
We can't wait to see you again!

Love,
Sarira and Lirios

I smiled happily at those news.
It was so long ago that I had seen my children and I had missed them terribly.
"Good news?" The Elven Lord asked.
"Yes. Sarira and Lirios will come soon."
"Oh, that's good."
"I only hope they will come along with Legolas."
He gently touched my shoulder. "They will."

I entered the room where Legolas and his family were waiting.
The young prince stood up and kissed me.
"Legolas, there's something I have to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Sarira and Lirios will come to Imladris soon."
He smiled at me. "Good. I know how much you missed them."
I knew that he was worried but he didn't show it.
"Do you think they will come along with the fact that Legolas is much younger than you?" Thranduil asked. He
seemed to be worried.
"Yes, I think they will. You know them, Thranduil. They are very understanding."
The king nodded. "Maybe you are right. We all shouldn't worry so much."
But we all did.

A week later Sarira and Lirios arrived.
I can't tell how happy I was to see them again.
After we had greeted each other Sarira smiled at me. "What happened, adar? I have haven't seen you so happy
since nana died. Are you in love?"
Lirios laughed. "Sarira! You don't want to find another woman for adar again, do you? Remember the disaster
last time!"
Now I had to laugh, too. My son was absolutly right.
The last time she had tried to find a woman for me she had found a lady who was - as Lirios had said - a disaster.
"I don't want to find a woman for him, I asked him if he has already found one." She grinned at me. "I think he did."
"Well, Siria is right. I have found a new love."
They both stared at me in surprise. "Who is it?" Lirios asked finally.
"It's hard to explain ..."
This moment Legolas entered the room and before I could say anything he kissed me.
He didn't know my children and we had stopped trying to hide our love in front of others since his father knew
about us.
As I didn't react he looked at me curiously. "Is something wrong?"
I smiled a little emberassed. "No, not really. May I introduce my children to you?" I pointed at them. "These are
Siria and Lirios. That's Prince Legolas, son of King Thranduil of Mirkwood."
Now it was Legolas who was emberassed.
Just like my son and my daughter.
It was Siria who broke the silence. "Hello Legolas. I'm glad to meet you. So you are the one who makes adar's
eyes shine like that."
She smiled gently and held out her hand.
Legolas returned the smile and took her it. "I'm also glad to meet you, Siria."
Now Lirios also shook Legolas' hand and smiled. "Nice to meet you, Legolas."
They had so many questions, but they didn't seem to be angry at all.
Quite the reverse. They seemed to like Legolas.
Of course we both were very relieved.
"May I ask you a question?" Siria asked after about an hour.
"Sure."
"How's your brother Sirus?"
I was totally surprised by that question. I hadn't even known that she knew the crown prince of Mirkwood.
"Oh, Sirus is fine. He's in Imladris, too."
"How do you know him?" I asked.
"May I tell him?" Lirios asked and didn't wait for the answer. "They knew each other for a few years and fell in love
with each other. And now she's pregnant."
I looked at my daughter in shock.
Pregnant?
"Thank you, Lirios. You are as sensible as always." She said a little annoyed. "Please don't be angry, adar. He
asked me if I want to marry him and I said yes and then ... then it happened."
"So he wants to marry you?" I asked to be sure.
She nodded.
"Well, I think it's alright then."
Siria smiled broadly and embraced me.
Suddenly the door opened and Sirius entered the room.
"Siria!" He said and embraced her gently.
I loudly cleared my throat which made Legolas laugh a little.
The parted immediatly and Sirius looked at me. "Glorfindel, I would like to ask you for the permission to marry
your daughter."
I smiled teasingly and looked at Legolas. "What do you think?"
"I think it would be great to be the father-in-law to my own brother."
A laughter escaped my lips as I saw Sirius' face.
"Of course you have my permission, Sirius. Make her happy."
The prince smiled. "Thank you, Glorfindel. I promise I will." He looked at her. "And I'm sure you will not have to
wait too long for your first grandchild."
"No, he won't" Siria said with a most beautiful sparkle in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Legolas' brother asked.
"I'm pregnant, darling."
It was obvious how happy my future son-in-law was as he kissed my daughter.
Now I was finally sure that everything would be fine as I took Legolas into my embrace.
