Fighting Caves 2



May 1

Glorfindel has found his mind again, to the woe of all that live here. He's teamed up with the twins for support against the 'evil Sindar'. I don't think we are quite as wicked as he seems to think. Well, maybe only father.

The only comment I could get out of Elrohir was: "If I go home, I'll be staked to a tree by my own father, and if I stay, I shall be forced to wear miniskirts for all eternity. Lorien looks very pleasant." Haldir was quick to beat that notion out of his head.

The evening gowns in Elrohir's wardrobe was a personal touch, but the maids thought to trim the hem to about mid-thigh. He seemed mortally afraid of the things and fled his room in only a bath towel to strangle a guard and demand to know what we had against him.

I suppose he's forgotten the demi-war between our two families, the poor sod. Point two!

Gimli has become Haldir's 'bodyguard' on request. I hope he doesn't think the dwarf is actually going to help him in the least even if he falls to a pack of rabid Silvan.


May 3

Interesting day. Over the night, Gimli Elf-friend drugged Haldir, bricked up his door and cemented it with liquid mithril. It dried as the sun came up. The language drifting through the cracks in the wall was distinctly unpleasant, and it was kept up until three. The boundary warden managed to concoct some strange explosive and blew the entire wall and half the corridor to rubble. He stood triumphantly on the quivering bodies of the guards father posted at his door and crowed about his invincibility.

Father took one look at the mess, knocked him cross-eyed and dragged him forcibly to the dungeons.

He didn't return for several hours, and I'm afraid I know why.

I'm still struggling to comprehend the things my father is rumoured to be doing to Haldir.

The Twin Peacocks went hunting in the southern reaches of Mirkwood and returned looking very put out. Likely every monster in the area could see the bright blue and pink brothers coming for miles and fled before they could be completely blinded.

The two might also have noticed the ward on the wood, the ward that will stop them from fleeing our grasp. Elladan smelled faintly of burning hair, so I imagine they did.

Haldir has been allowed out of the dungeons, and father seems to be in a fairly good mood at all hours of the day. Haldir will do that to you, even if Celeborn goes on a rampage afterwards. I still don't see his problem with the entire thing. I thought it was rather pleasant.

Orophin came to collect Haldir and took him back to Lorien. Both of them looked rather traumatized at the thought of facing Celeborn again. Apparently the ordeal was very trying, from what Orophin told me. Something to do with chains.

Perhaps this perversion is genetic. Perhaps I should kill father and take his cooling body just to prove how disgusting - why am I even considering this?
