Song For None
~
The sun was gently rising over the beautiful hills and the placid waters of Rivendell. Elrond was awaiting the arrival of the four young elfes he would be advising for the summer. He wasn't sure if he should be dreading this or looking forward to it. He soon saw a dozen people coming up over the northern hill. It was the party he was awaiting for.
The group in the distance grew closer to Rivendell and Elrond's twin sons, Elladan and Elrohir were at the gate waiting for their friend Legolas's arrival. And to see if their were any she-elfes among the new comers. Estel their younger brother ran out to wait with them. Legolas could be mean to him sometimes but he did not want to miss out on fun that could be had.
The elfes finally stopped at the gate to greet the twins and Estel. Legolas was wearing his usual archery attire and carrying his favorite bow.
"How have you been Legolas? It's been almost a year since I have seen you last!" Elrohir gently slapped Legolas on the back and walked with him into Rivendell.
"You have to tell us the story of that girl you meet down in the Barrow- Downs!" Elladan started pumping Legolas for stories about the past year as soon as he saw his old friend.
The three were so caught up in catching up with each other they almost ran into Elrond and were oblivious to the three she-elfes standing a few feet away. It wasn't until Elrond asked for silence that Elladan noticed the three girls.
"I will show you all to your room and then we will have a small meeting about what is going to happen this summer and then you may all meet and greet with each other."
The three friends were forced to break up for a while until their rooms were sorted out. Elrond was smart enough to put the boys on one side of his house and the girls on the upper story on the other side. He said a few prayers begging the Valar that there would not be much boy/girl trouble this summer and things would run smoothly.
Everyone assembled outside in the meeting area.
"I'm glad to see all of you and I'm glad that you could make it Morhrivewen, your father informed me of the circumstances in your homeland. For the next two and a half months you will all be stuck here with me and forced to learn your elfin identities and the history of our people. You will have plenty of time to be amongst yourselves and I will try my best not to bore you!" Elrond smiled at the six elfes and let them go on their own ways.
Legolas, Elladan, and Elrohir went out into an open field to practice archery and tell their stories of the past year.
The three girls, Nuquernaromen, Maikathuleiel, and Morhrivewen went back to Nuquer's room to talk amongst themselves.
Elrohir was watching Legolas's form as a he shot an arrow and asked him of his journey here. "Did you get to talk to any of the girls?"
Legolas let the arrow fly from his bow hitting his target perfectly. "No, I had some guy asking me questions about my father the whole journey here. I did find out their names though."
Elladan shot a near perfect shot at his target. "Morhrivewen was pretty, find anything out about her?"
"Not really they all go by shorter names, I did learn that. Morhrivewen goes by Ven, and then there's Nuquer and Maik. I'm not sure which one's which but I think the one with the black hair is Nuquer." Legolas picked up another arrow to show Elladan what he was doing wrong.
In the girls' room, the three were having the same discussion.
"The one we came with is Legolas, right?" Maik was shifting through Ven's clothes looking at the different outfits she had.
"Yes, that was Legolas. He is pretty good looking." Ven opened her closet door and starting hanging her robes inside.
"Pretty cute?! He was gorgeous! The twins weren't to bad either!" Nuquer Picked up Ven's red robe and held it against herself to critique in the mirror.
"What are their names?" Ven handed Nuquer another one of her red robes for her to look at.
"Elrohir and Elladan." Nuquer contemplated the two robes and decided on the first on she picked up.
"Don't miss much do you?" Maik held onto the robe while Nuquer slipped out of the one she was currently wearing. She pulled Ven's robe over her head and let it fall into place.
"I don't know which one is which though." Nuquer fixed a rogue hair and turned to let Maik and Ven see the robe.
"Beautiful, where are you going in it?" Ven fixed a rope hanging from the robe at Nuquer's waist.
"We are going to find the guys of course!" Nuquer waited while Ven and Maik fixed their hair and the three headed out the door to find the guys and get names straightened out once and for all.
