Song For Nought
~
That evening at dinner none of the young elves were in much of a mood to talk. Nuquer sat away from Legolas not wanted to see his face.
Waenmetiel, although, was very talkative and smiled the entire dinner, her plan was working just as she had wanted it to.
"You young ones are quiet tonight! Why not talk and be merry? If a song were sung about tonight it would be a lament when it should be merry and gay!" Waenmetiel exclaimed after quite some time of quietness.
"I guess none of us are much in a mood to talk." Maik stated.
"Come now, only in the hundreds and already you six are feeling downtrodden? How can this be?" Waenmetiel asked.
"Maybe it is because we cannot leave the safety of our house." Elladan said sending a looked at Elrond.
"Alright, alright, you may go to the practice fields tomorrow." Elrond gave into the looks of the three boys.
"Thank you father!" Elrohir said with jubilation in his voice.
"Well, if that is all it takes to cheer you up then practice your archery often!" Waenmetiel smiled at the three.
"That's all it takes for me." Legolas said with a small laugh.
"I should much like to come and join you three tomorrow. It has been far to long since I have felt a bow in my hands." Waenmetiel slipped a sideways glance at Nuquer who had her head down and said nothing.
"To long without a bow can make your heart break, we'll help you with any problems you have." Legolas offered freely.

After dinner Nuquer sat in her chair while most others were leaving. Only Glorfindel and Elrond remained talking amongst themselves.
Nuquer watched as Elrond laughed at a funny story Glorfindel told and he sipped hi wine.
Nuquer couldn't help but notice how regal and noble Elrond looked even when talking to his friend.

Waenmetiel watched from behind a pillar at the young Nuquer.
She is slipping farther into the spell. Soon she will be acting upon her urges. Then I will be free to have Legolas to my own. I should take Haldir too, he seems to like me. Poor Elrond, he never saw this coming.

Legolas sat with Elladan in his room.
"What is up with Nuquer lately?" Elladan asked bravely.
"I have no idea." Legolas admitted freely.
"She is losing it man. The girl is crazy. One minute she is at your feet the next she is shoveling dirt in your face." Elladan shook his head.
"I don't understand." Legolas laid back onto his bed and Elrohir came bursting in the door.
"I have got some bad news, Legolas." Elrohir closed the door and walked over to where Legolas lay.
"What?" Legolas asked slightly frightened at what it might be.
"Well, we aren't sure but I have to tell you. Maik, Ven, and I were talking by that fountain outside the dining are where we were tonight and we say Nuquer was still at dinner. So we crept in the bushed to see why she was sitting there with only Glorfindel and Elrond and Maik swore up and down that Nuquer gave Elrond." Elrohir stopped far a moment.
"What, Elrohir!?"
".the look." Elrohir finished.
"What look? Like I want you look?" Legolas asked very perplexed.
"Yes." Elrohir nodded.
"Ok, whoa, wait a minute. Nuquer gave, our father, the look?" Elladan didn't quite comprehend this.
"Yes, Elladan, get it through your thick brain!" Elrohir looked at him.
"Ok, eww." Elladan shuttered in disgust. Legolas sat looking a bit dumbfounded and very shocked.
"Elrond? Elrond? I can't believe it." Legolas sat back trying to sort out what was going on.
"But, you know, Maik could be wrong." Elrohir tried to offer.
"Maik? Wrong? That'll be the day!" Elladan laughed then shut his mouth remembering Legolas was present.
