AU Elrond is growing up in Lindon and Thranduil, son of Oropher who was the King of Greenwood, is sent to stay there for a while. Gil-Galad tells Glorfindel and Erestor that are to take care of them. Exactly how hard will their job be? Ages: Elrond: 134 Thranduil: 74 Glorfindel: 4254 Erestor: 5243 Oropher: 4192 Elros: 253 Note: People who have read Three Elflings may see a similarity with Elrond and Thranduil's behavior here and there. I guess this can count as a prequel, but their ages won't make sense between these two fics In here, Elves mature at 2000
Erestor was giving them extra hard lessons that day, as punishment.
"All right. Simplify...(3x^4y^7)^3(7z^5x^3y^9)/(7x^4y^7)," Elrond stared. Erestor glared. Thranduil started to answer,
"27x^11y^23z^5?" Erestor fainted. He got it right. How could someone who thinks 4 plus 1 is 2 get a question like that correct?
Elrond was just as confused. Probably just a lucky guess, he thought. Erestor woke up and, thinking that this punishment wasn't
working, he told Thranduil to clean out the bookshelf-again.
Glorfindel was still trying to get red paint off out of his hair when he noticed an elf coming towards the river. He said,
"Hey Glorf, Elros is back from Lorien."
"Oh Elbereth"
"He's only going to stay for a week"
"Oh thank Elbereth."
"He wants to meet Thranduil"
"Oh Elbereth..."
Gil-galad finished warning Elros about bad behavior a few seconds before Erestor, Glorfindel, Elrond, and Thranduil arrived.
Elrond jumped onto Elros and started to complain about him never being Lindon anymore.
"How come you're always in Lorien? What's wrong with Lindon (besides Erestor, Glorfindel, and Gil-galad)? I thougth you said
Galadriel was an evil witch!" Elros cringed. He had told Elrond not to tell anyone about that. Now, just about everyone in Lindon knew
what he called the Lady of the Golden Wood. As calmly as he could, he put down Elrond and faced Erestor and Glorfindel. There was
also another elfling there as well. When he saw the crest on his tunic, he knew that it was Thranduil Oropherion. He walked over to the
Thranduil and asked,
"How is Lindon, Prince Thranduil Oropherion of Greenwood the Great?"
"I like it..." Thranduil said, barely audible. Erestor and Glorfindel gawked. Elros had never spoken with such courtesy and grace
before, at least not to them. Elros, Elrond, and Thranduil walked off, leaving everyone else staring at Elros's courtesy.
Later that evening,
Erestor and Glorfindel sat in the library. It was quiet and peaceful. Too quiet and peaceful. Too quiet and peaceful for it to remain
quiet and peacful for long. *CRASH Glorfindel sighing, said,
"That sounded like the crashing of a rare and valuable $99999999999999999999999 (Plus tax) vase that Oropher sent to you for your
birthday, while he was in Greenwood being King."
"Idiot. He IS King...WHAT!? THE VASE!?" He rushed into the room Elros, Elrond, and Thranduil were in. Sure enough, there was a
smashed vase at Elrond's feet.
"WHAT HAPPENED HERE???????????" Thranduil stammered,
"It was Elrond. All Elrond." Actually, it WAS Elrond. Elros nodded. Elrond wined. Erestor wasn't going to take any chances. He
grabbed Elros's ear in one hand, and Elrond and Thranduil's in another, and dragged them off to Valar(God)-knows-where.
Note: I know Elros didn't live in Lindon in the 2nd Age. He was either King of dead (depending on what time of the 2nd Age).
