Song For None
~
The six young elfes woke up to Estel bursting in the room.
"Elrond- what a minute. What are you guys doing in here?" Estel stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the six elfes in different and some rather odd places.
Legolas had sometime in the night fallen out of his chair and was now laying half under the chair with his soft green tunic covering his face.
Elladan was laying in his chair backwards, feet on the headrest and his head hanging off the seat.
Ven was the first to wake up when Estel burst in, "I'm up!" She looked around the room at the other sleeping elfes.
"Why are you guys all in Elrond's room?" Estel walked over to the sleeping Legolas and pulled his tunic off his face.
"What?" Legolas slowly came back into being.
"Where's Elrond? I need to talk to him." Estel looked around assuring himself Elrond was not in the room.
"I think he's in his study." Ven pulled the covers off herself and stood up.
Estel left the room in a hurry.

Elrond had fallen asleep at his table. Estel burst into the room and starting shaking Elrond's shoulder.
"Elrond, it's important, wake up!" Estel waited until Elrond's eyes flickered open.
"Yes, what is it?" Elrond sat up and straightened his robe.
"I have decided what I am going to do with my life!" Estel stood before Elrond still a young boy but with knowledge that only wise men could have. "I want to be a ranger!"
Elrond sat speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say. He wanted Estel to be happy and have a good life but being his "father" he wanted him to be safe.
"If that is what you chose." Elrond knew that Estel would go without his consent or not but Elrond was happy Estel came and told him.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. I want to learn how to fight as soon as possible so I can fight the men attacking the elfes." Estel said bravely.
"Will you announce you're decision at dinner tonight?" Elrond asked.
"I guess so. I don't want anyone upset though." Estel looked down at the floor.
"If that is what you truly want, then it must be." Elrond stood up to walk Estel to the door, "Just be safe."
"I'll try me best. I want to be the best Ranger ever." Estel left Elrond alone in his study to think.

I know that's not how it happened and that probably doesn't go along with the history and all but hey this is a fanfic!
