The End of an Era:
This is Elrohir telling the story. Now, We get to go BACK IN TIME! :Twilight Zone flashback wavy thing a ma Bob:
Glorfindel looked up as Melpomaen walked into the Hall. "Melpomaen has cleaned himself up," He said quietly. For he was no longer covered in the dust of Old Books, and didn't have scribe's ink all over his hands. There were also no smudges or both on his face, which made for a VERY pretty package. Of course, Glorfindel already knew what lay under all the Library Grime.
"Hello Glorfindel." Melpomaen said as he walked over to him, after paying respects to Lord Elrond. "Hi. You look.." Melpomaen grinned. "Beutiful? Stunning? Dazzling? Radiant?" He asked with a wink. Glorfindel groaned.
"Actually, I was going to say Hideous, but, whatever makes you happy, Mel." THWACK. "OW! Melpomaen!" He whined, Which was a very amusing sight. Almost as amusing as that time Elladan and I had dyed his hair blue and..That's a different story. Ok, where was I, Legolas? Oh, Right. Melpomaen had hit Glorfindel upside the head. So anyway.
Later that night, Elladan and Haldir had disappeared somewhere after causing Lindir's cake to explode, and everyone else was going to the Halls of Fire. Glorfindel and Melpomaen, however snuck out to a Balcony.
You ask how I know this all? Well, I got all this out of Melpomaen
during one of our Midnight Talks. Oh? You didn't know he was the
resident advice giver? Well, Almost every elf in Imladris has been to
see Melpomaen at one time or another for various things. It's
completely confidential, too, so you don't have to be embarrassed.
Anyway...
"Mmmm. The stars sure are bright tonight." Melpomaen said. Glorfindel nodded. "Yes. Melpomaen, there's something I need to tell you." Melpomaen turned to Glorfindel and smiled. He knew what was coming, or, at least he said he did later.
"Mel. You know that I love you, right?" "Of course." "And. you'd forgive me if I did something I shouldn't?" "Of Course." "Even. If I fell in love with someone else?" "Yes. I'd forgive you." "Even if it was Erestor?" "Especially if it was Erestor. After all, Master Elladan DID tell me that you'd fall in love with him."
"Wh.what? You.knew?" "All along. Well, from the early beginning at least. Elladan told me." Glorfindel sighed. "Now what?" He asked.
"Go to him." "What?" "You heard me. Go to him." They looked into the Halls of Fire through a Window. Erestor was standing in a corner, looking miserable.
"You. are OK with it? You'd.just let me go?" Glorfindel asked. "Of course. What kind of person do you think I am? Now.GO!" He said, pushing Glorfindel into the Halls.
Melpomaen sighed and looked back up at the stars, briefly wondering what Valinor was like this time of year, before shaking his head 'No'. He couldn't leave. There was too much to do here, or.at least that's what he told me.
Erestor looked up when Glorfindel appeared by his side. "Not having fun?" Glorfindel asked. "No. Not really." "You never were very social." Glorfindel said with a roll of his eyes. Erestor looked at Glorfindel closely.
"You two aren't together anymore." He said simply, and Glorfindel nodded. "How did you know?" He asked. "The sadness in your eyes." "Oh." They soot there for the rest of the night. And if you're wondering how I know THIS, dearest Golden Prince, That's a secret.
Elladan and Haldir had been in Haldir's rooms, for Haldir was to leave the next day. Needless to say.they were..pre-occupied, at the moment. And that, dear Prince, is the story of the 'Break up' of Glorfindel and Melpomaen.
