Chapter V

"Then is worse than we thought"

The three young elves looked at each other puzzled

"Were you already aware of this?" asked Elladan

"We have being having reports of missing elves, when we send a group of warriors to investigate what was happening, they returned injured... the ones who returned" Celeborn said with anger in his voice. Then there was a long silence until Galadriel broke it

"This was just three days ago. We have being discussing the situation and we were going to send word to Rivendell and Mirkwood. But I can see that is not necessary anymore, they already know"

"It's probably that my father already knows, but we are not sure, for we headed here first to deliver the notice. If the elves of LothloriƩn are being attacked too, then it's almost sure that my people as well is on danger" Legolas said with sad eyes, the twins looked at him sympathetically

"We'll have to take drastic measures then. We can not allow the humans and dwarves to kill us all"

"Kill us?" Elrohir looked at his grandfather worried "We thought they just want us to remain in our realms without using the roads"

"The elves who were victims of those ill races haven't told you their message?" Galadriel asked caressing the younger twin's cheek

"No. No one has survived enough to tell us anything" Elladan said darkly

"What is their message?" Legolas asked suspecting what it was about

"They want all the elves dead" Celeborn said

"It can't be..." Elrohir said clasping a hand on his mouth

"The time when we were known as a powerful and wise race is over, the mortals have forgotten many things... some of them think that we are a menace for their freedom, that because we are immortals and skillful warriors we can rule all Middle Earth, so they despise us"  Galadriel said sadly but at the same time angry.

"It's the most stupid thing that I have ever heard!" Elladan was trembling with rage "How could they make that lie?" Galadriel and Celeborn shook their heads sadly

"No every human or dwarf believe it. Unfortunately the closest from us do"

"We need to talk this with the three elven nations, so a council will take place here. Since you were heading to Mirkwood, we will send an errand to Rivendell, Elrond and Thranduil must be here in two months.  Would you be able to go to Mirkwood and return by that time?"

"Of course grandmother. Leave it to us." Elladan said. Galadriel smiled sweetly at the three

"Very well, you are leaving tomorrow" Celeborn said

"I wonder... are we leaving tomorrow because of the seriousness of the situation or are we leaving tomorrow because of the last time 'incident'?" Elrohir said smiling

"One thing it amazes me most of you is that despite the situation you always have that bizarre sense of humor" Celeborn said shaking his head, a little (almost imperceptible) smile crossed his lips

"One thing we have learnt is that no matter how difficult is the situation, we always need to laughed. This makes the persons have hope" Legolas said looking at the twins who smiled

"You talk like elder elves. There is wisdom in your words young ones... " Celeborn said proud of them, the three princes smiled happy

"That is what we have trying to tell everyone" Elladan said nodding

"That laugh is hope?" Galadriel asked amused

"No, that we are wise" Elrohir said. Celeborn facefaulted and Galadriel chuckled

"It's a shame that you behave like little elflings" The lord sighed "If not, I could have swear that you were mature elves and not young ones and if you haven't have that innocent face" he smiled tenderly and impishly at the same time

"What?!"

"See Legolas, we had always said that your face is too innocent for your own good"

"Elladan he was referring to us all, not just me!"

"It can't be" the older twin said crossing his arms across his chest, the blond prince raised and eyebrow questioning and Elladan continue "we are older"

"Just two hundred years!"

"Older anyway" Legolas was going to replay when Elrohir shook his head with understanding eyes

"Don't argue with him, you know you will never win this. I have being trying without results. Even if he is two minutes older than me he keeps saying that he is the older" Elladan smiled content. Meanwhile Celeborn and Galadriel were looking at them with mirth in their eyes

"Very well young ones, go and rest now. We will call you for dinner" Galadriel said turning to leave the room following Celeborn

"Is Haldir coming?" Elladan said impishly

"Leave him alone, could you?" the lord said turning to see them "I mean it"

" Just for a while. For his mental sake" Galadriel said smiling and when she passed next to them she whispered "Try to find another victim... I think Orophir is near the river" The three smiled devilishly looking at each other, not surprised that the powerful Lady of LothloriƩn had suggested that, after all it wasn't the first time...

            When Galadriel sat on her private chambers with Celeborn her husband looked at her suspiciously, the lady turned to look at him, her face the essence of innocence

"Every time I confirm where those twins got that expression. You gave them ideas, right?"

"Do you think so? They won't stay for much time here, but it is enough to torment Haldir again. I was just making sure that he lives to fight in the coming battle" she said smiling

"I wonder if those three know that just looking at them brings hope to every elf. They always know how to cheer someone as well as they know when to be serious. It's a strange combination, as well as it's a strange relation they share"

"They are the key to our future" Galadriel said kind of sad "And I don't know if that scares me or relieves me, for we can not be in better hands, but a long and a hard road waits for them"

"It won't be easy" Celeborn nodded looking through the window

"But they had each other, while that friendship remains, they will return to us. Even if they had to suffer first"

"Friendship?"

"We haven't being able to say otherwise"

"If you say so..."

            *****

"This are really bad news" Elladan said sighing, he was sat next to his twin who turned to the window of their room

"Yes, so more than ever we have to be close" Legolas said embracing the twins from behind, the twins stretch their respective right and left arms and grabbed the blond prince closer as they took their free hands.

"The three of us from now till eternity" the three said in unison. This was their mantra, this represented the most important in their lives...

            After a while they were called for dinner. They just dinned with the lord and lady for they wanted to be just with the three. They spend a great night talking and telling the lords their last pranks and adventures as well as their advances in their studies. At last everyone went to sleep, for a long journey waited the three elven princes.
