Chapter Three
Elrond and Estel were just finishing breakfast with Elrond enjoying the peace that always prevailed when only one of his sons was home. Sintar came rushing into the dining hall, out of sorts.
"Your sons have returned, my Lord." Worry was evident in his face. "They bring with them two elven maids..wounded."
Elrond shot out of his chair, almost tipping it over in his haste. "Both have been wounded?" Elrond quizzed his servant. The famous eyebrows making Sintar very nervous.
Y...yes, my Lord." He stammered.
"I cannot rush from room to room and back again. Have another bed brought into the guest room next to Legolas' room." Legolas did not sleep in a guest room when he visited. He and the adopted human had become as close, closer even, than brothers, and Elrond saw no reason to not accept him into the fold. "Estel, tell the boys to bring them into the guest room. I must see to them immediately."
Sintar had already run off to do his Lords bidding, and Estel followed suit.
Belil was the first to awaken after Elrond's attentive care since she had taken only minor injuries. Estel and Legolas were there when she woke. Both flew to the side of the bed when she stirred. Belil blinked a few times then opened her eyes and was rewarded with the sight of two very handsome males peering worriedly down at her.
Shock at seeing a human registered in her eyes at the same moment Legolas and Estel fell in love. They had both thought that the elven maidens were the most beautiful they had ever seen, but faced with eyes the color of their favorite star, was almost too much to handle. Elf and human looked at each other, but no words were necessary.
Quickly hiding her shock at being so close to a human, she asked "Where am I?"
"Why, in Rivendell, the house of Elrond, fair maiden." Came the voice of Elrond from the door. Legolas sprang from the bed as if it were suddenly on fire. "How are you feeling?" Elrond asked of Belil, shooting an amused glance at his son and elf friend.
"I hurt, but not nearly so much as I did before." Belil gave a weak smile as Elrond sat down in the spot recently vacated by two presently blushing males.
"Uluvitar smiles down upon you two." Elrond smiled gently then nodded to the left. Belil looked and gave a small cry. There was Nilmandra. Shakily, Belil gained her feet, and, with the help of the dark haired Lord, she crawled in beside Nilmandra.
"Fea Seler. Fear not, I am here." (Spirit sister) she whispered and gently wrapped her arms around Nilmandra. There were stirrings and Nilmandra slowly woke. Estel and Legolas stepped up to the bedside, feeling strangely drawn to the scene. It was not unlike a few moments in history that the elf and human had shared.
They were completely unprepared to be shot off their feet a second time when Nilmandra opened her eyes and looked directly at them. Was it really possible to fall in love with two?

I know it is not perfect (smiles) but this is a finished work, and I have another story in the works. The new story has much more detail and tons of humor and suspense and action. I will take into consideration any help in making my stories more interesting etx.
