Song For Nought

~ Author Note: I want to warn you guys in advance that this story is getting into some history in Lord of the Rings that I'm not all that sure about because I'm to lazy to look it up. I'm messing around with mostly dates and ages so there are probably going to be things that are off but hopefully not to much. I just wanted to ask though, are the twins older then Arwen or is Arwen older than the twins?

Note to Lamoo: I'll try to put Haldir in this one but I don't know how that will work out! He'll fit in somewhere. Just for you Lamoo!

The next morning after the feast Elrond, Thranduil, and Waenmetiel were gathered on Elrond's favorite balcony.

"Waenmetiel, it's been so long. Where have you been all these long years?" Thranduil asked the beautiful elf-maiden.

"I have been traveling all over Middle Earth. I wanted to see every part of it for myself.

"Does it really take all this long to discover everything there is on Middle Earth" Elrond asked friendly.

"Well, I stayed in some places that I liked. I never drew any attention to myself so I guess that's why you haven't heard of me or from me." Waenmetiel looked off into the distance.

"You travel all around Middle Earth and never stop in any of the elvin dwellings? You are just as strange as I remember." Thranduil joked lightly.

"You are just as cute as I remember." Waenmetiel joked back at him.

"Why are there only so few here this summer? I thought there would be many more." Waenmetiel asked.

"There are not many young elves to come and even with that most would not come for fear of traveling to far from their homes." Elrond said sadly.

"I heard of strange men, The Ilkea, as you call them wondering about. I heard a rumor that some of the elflings were captured, is that true?" Waenmetiel turned to look over the beautiful structures of Rivendell and all the elves going on their daily routines.

"Yes, Legolas, Nuquer, and Ven were captured and the men came back here only a few short days ago and there was a small battle." Elrond hated the memory of the missing elves.

"What did they want?" Waenmetiel seemed unnervingly calm about this.

"We aren't sure." Thranduil shook his head. He hated not knowing why such men attacked.

"I should very much like to meet that elves here. And your sons Elrond, I have not yet meet them." Waenmetiel said after a few moments of silence between the three.

"Oh, excuse my rudeness I had forgotten completely that you had not met our sons!" Elrond couldn't believe he had forgotten to introduce his sons.

"And your daughter?" Waenmetiel asked.

"She is with the Lady Galadriel in Lothlorien." Elrond answered and lead Thranduil and Waenmetiel down his halls towards his sons rooms.

Elladan, Elrohir, and Legolas were all sitting outside on Elrohir's balcony watching the girls as they swam in a small pond below.

"Elladan, do you like Maik?" Legolas suddenly asked.

"She's nice, I guess I like her well enough." Elladan answered, a little shocked at the question.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Come on in." Elrohir called.

Elrond came in followed by Thranduil and Waenmetiel.

"Good morning sons, this is Waenmetiel, she wanted to meet you two." Elrond introduced her.

"Hello, I'm Elladan."

"Elrohir, nice you meet you." The two boys greeted.

Legolas stood and introduced himself.

"Legolas, son of Thranduil."

"How very nice to meet you all." Waenmetiel smiled at the three letting her gaze linger on Legolas for a moment before turning back to Thranduil and Elrond.

"I cannot believe you both have sons. I'm still remembering you two as young elves back in the happy days of that summer." Waenmetiel smiled remembering fondly that summer so long ago.
