A/N: So, how's this idea turning out so far? Any requests for scenes or
situations? Write a review and let me know. *hint hint* If you ask for
it, I'll probably write it. (I'm easy that way).
WARNINGS: None for this chapter.
TIMEFRAME: You'll figure it out.
****************** Morning Interlude ******************
Hush now, dear one. Quiet. I'll take you with me and we'll let your mother and father sleep a bit more. You and your brother can be exhausting, and they look like they need their rest.
Hush now, little one. You are safe with me. Are you worried for your brother? Look, he is right there. Do you see him? Now you are quiet. All you needed was a little reassurance.
Little Elrohir, let me tell you a story. You were second born of twins, just weeks ago now. Elladan, your brother, was named by your father. He is named for the heritage of your house, but you will learn that soon enough. It is a strong heritage, and Elladan has a strong name.
Your mother gave you your name, quiet one. Did you know that mother-names are prophetic to Elves? Perhaps one day you will grow into a true horse- master, as your name foretells. I will teach you to ride, and to hunt, and to speak to all living things-even the trees. Not now, though; you are too small.
How strange that so small a person can change a life so quickly. Not just your mother's or your father's, though their lives have most definitely been changed. You have changed mine also, as I am sworn to protect your family for the rest of my days. That means I'm sworn to protect you, and I will do so.
What a strange peace I feel when I hold you in my arms. I can tell that your hair will be dark, like your father's. Your eyes already hold the light of the stars.
Ah, the stars are fading now as the sun rises. Let us watch for a moment. I would sing you a song of the sunrise, but I do not wish to wake your parents just yet. I will sing for you later, but you will sing far better than I when you learn the songs from your father, I suspect.
You have been so good and quiet for me, but I hear your mother calling. She does not worry; she knows you are with me and that I would give my life for yours in an instant.
Good morning, Celebrian. He was crying and I was passing by. I thought you needed the rest, and I did not want him to wake his brother.
No, he is no trouble at all.
