*Squijim*
Chapter 8: Confession Is Not For The Weak Of Heart.
Falnier and Malnier burst into the study, their voices mixed and clashed together. Falnier was brandishing a letter and using a free hand to push his brother away. Although the twins were far past the age that is considered adulthood for elves, they seemed to have a difficult time parting with their childish ways.
'Falnier! Will you not let me see the letter? If you are not going to read it then I will!' Malnier jumped at his brother, his arm reaching out to snatch the letter from Falnier's hands.
Falnier jumped back, what wasn't braided of his auburn hair went flying around his fair face. His laughter filled the room while he entertained himself by making his brother leap and pounce, trying in vane to get at the letter.
'Nay, I would not give you the letter brother, that would spoil my fun!' Falnier laughed even harder.
Malnier pushed back a few disheveled blonde locks, (Other that their hair color the twins were practically identical) he took a few deep breaths and glared at his brother, his eyes burning with annoyance.
Falnier snickered and lowered the hand that held the letter to his side. 'Oh come now my dear brother, we're not giving up yet are we?' he shook his head.
At that remark, Malnier ran at his brother with a burst of newfound strength, his golden head coming into contact with Falnier's stomach.
Falnier felt the air leave his lungs; the stinging in his stomach grew and he toppled to the floor, letting go of the letter and curled into a tight ball, his arms wrapped protectively around his stomach as he groaned.
Malnier sat up next to his brother; he took the letter and stood up, dusting himself off. He came and sat on the windowsill, opening the letter and reading it's contents without his brother. His face twisted into a devious grin as he folded the letter.
'Well, what does it say?' Falnier asked in a raspy voice from the floor.
Malnier stood and walked to the fireplace, tossing the letter to his brother on the floor.
Falnier took the note and sat up, looking up at Malnier. Malnier sat down, cross-legged by the fire, he rubbed his chin and ran a hand through his hair. After a time, he finally spoke.
'It appears that Haldir has sent us a letter regarding Legolas.' Malnier glanced at Falnier, who was now standing and moving closer. 'It seems he has devised a plan to bring Legolas and Aireromen together. secretly.' Malnier smiled.
Falnier came and sat down across from him, a smile playing on his lips as well. 'And what are we to do? What is our part in this?'
'We, are to bring Legolas to the edge of the western boarders of Mirkwood, they will bring Aireromen.' Malnier laughed at the thought of tricking Legolas. 'The letter was written yesterday, Haldir as already arranged for Siril to take her to the spot, they left this morning, she thinks they are going to Rivendell.'
Falnier glanced at the letter and laughed, he slapped his brother on the back, getting a sour look from him in return. 'This is wonderful! Absolutely perfect! I was starting to get rather annoyed with our friend. All this talk for Aireromen and the moon-eyes he was making were starting to make me sick! It's about time that someone did something about it because certainly they wont.' Falnier paced in front of his brother, stopping abruptly. 'But what do we say to him? What can we do to get him over there without a day or so to plan?'
Malnier did not answer, but sat, staring into the fire, his eyes unseeing. After a time, he spoke. 'It's not as difficult as you would think, brother. a simple fib about a hunting trip should work.' Malnier stood and walked to the door. 'Come, we shall go and stir the young prince from his sleep!' Malnier stepped out the door and moved quickly down the stony halls, his brother trailing behind.
King Thranduil stood in the courtroom, speaking with another elf who was dark of hair. They heard the commotion of the twins as they stomped and scurried through the halls, the twins made noise almost everywhere they went. He broke his conversation with the other elf as the twins appeared.
'Where are the two of you off to in such a hurry?' Thranduil smiled and folded his arms.
'Off to find your son my Lord.' Falnier bowed comically, most elves would have shown more respect to the King of the Woodland realm, but the twins had known the king closely for as long as their life span and were treated as his own sons and he their father.
'He is resting, do you intend to wake him?' Thranduil raised an eyebrow.
'Of course we do my Lord, as rudely and abruptly as possible!' Falnier jested.
Thranduil laughed and shook his head, 'Always a joker, Falnier' he pat the auburn haired twin on the back. 'This is my cousin, Ruthonel from Rivendell,' Thranduil introduced the dark haired elf. 'He has come to inform those living in the woodland Realm of news from the west. Ruthonel, these are the sons of Thralmor, Falnier and Malnier.'
The dark haired elf extended his hand to the twins, 'You're father is a close friend of the family and a great warrior, it is an honor to at last meet his sons.' Ruthonel smiled.
'The honor is ours, but you must excuse us now, we must be on our way!' Falnier bowed and grabbed Malnier by the arm, leading him away.
* * * * * *
'Be quiet you oaf!' Falnier hissed at his brother, who was dragging his feet on the stone floor as they approached.
The door to Legolas's room was slowly opened; the twins poked their head inside, seeing the sleeping form of Legolas curled up in his bed. Quietly, the twins crept into the room, both coming to each side of the young prince's bed.
Malnier, grab the corners of the bed sheets on your side. careful! Don't wake him!' Falnier whispered.
Malnier did this and Falnier did the same. 'On the count of three. one. two..THREE!'
The twins rolled the sheets over Legolas, creating a kind of cocoon. They each picked up an end and began to carry it out of the room. Legolas woke up upon hearing the word "three" and before he knew or had time to react he was wound tightly in his bed sheets. He wiggled and writhed, looking much like a giant white worm.
He yelled through the sheets but it was muffled and the twins could not understand him.
Ruthonel and Thranduil watched as the twins passed by them again, Ruthonel looked at the squirming form that they held up and glanced quickly at his cousin.
Thranduil waved it off and simply stated, 'Tis just me son, they're just going to bind his hands and feet and tie ropes to his legs and throw him in the river, it's allright.' He turned back around to continue the conversation.
Ruthonel gave a perplexed look to his cousin and then at the twins, he shrugged and turned away, ignoring the panicked cries for help that muffled out from under the sheet.
Down the steps of Mirkwood palace the twins went, with Legolas still wrapped in sheets. Upon reaching the bottom, they tossed him over their shoulders; Legolas landed with a thud. The prince of Mirkwood scrambled to get out from under the tangled sheets, cursing and mumbling the entire time. He ripped the sheet off and stood quickly, trying to remain graceful as he struggled to maintain his balance.
Legolas blinked at the blue sky and then turned his gaze to the twins who stood snickering in front of him. 'You! I should have known! What in the name of the elven stars did you do that for?' Legolas's blue eyes burned in anger.
'We just wanted to wake you.. And we thought this was the best way to do so.' Malnier giggled and rested his golden head on his brother's shoulder, covering his face with an arm, laughing hysterically.
Legolas glared, 'Is there a purpose to this? Or was it simply a whim of yours?'
'Both actually!' Falnier chimed. 'We're going on a hunting trip... we thought you might want to tag along.'
Legolas raised an eyebrow. 'A hunting trip? But the sun is due to set in a few hours... how long?'
'Not that long, we're just going to find a stag for supper tonight.' Malnier said with a smile.
'I don't have my bow and arrows..' Legolas protested.
'Not a problem, there are plenty of bows and arrows in the stable, and since we're heading that way right now... it wont be a problem.' Malnier began walking off, followed by his brother and Legolas.
The smell of hay and leather filled their noses as the tree elves entered into the stable. The twins went directly to the right front stall, where two horses shared the stall together. Eluhen and Colhen were twins, (and of corse they were Falnier and Malnier's horses) they were pure white and their eyes were different colors. Colhen, Falnier's horse, had golden eyes, while Eluhen, Malnier's horse, had sky blue.
The horses nickered happily upon seeing their masters; they both came to the front of the stall and stuck their white heads over. Falnier and Malnier unlocked the door and went in. Legolas began to leave to go to his own horse.
'Legolas!' Falnier called, 'We will only need these two.'
Legolas turned and gave them a suspicious glance. 'Why?'
Malnier turned to his brother, searching for an answer to his question.
'B- Because, we- we will go quicker and quieter with just two horses.. and besides, Eluhen and Colhen have not gone out in a long while, they will enjoy a good ride through the forest.' Falnier smiled, hoping that Legolas would believe the fib.
'Alright... alright, what ever you want, no sense in arguing about it.' Legolas sighed.
The twins smiled and brought their horses out of the stall; Legolas grabbed a pack of arrows and a bow from the wall and came back over.
'You shall ride Colhen.' Falnier said, mounting up on Eluhen with Malnier.
They left the stables at a gallop and soon disappeared into the wood, they traveled through the forest of Mirkwood for a little over an hour. Legolas rode in silence, while the twins (As usual) were lighthearted and sang as they went.
Oh' wind that in the treetops blow
And grass that at their bases grow
And water running through the wood Babbling through time and as it should
Thou never hast changed thy simple ways
And will forever continue in far off days
May all that thou touch be green
From here to lands that none hath seen.
Though men grow old and elves grow weary
Thou wilt not stop though skies be dreary
Through time thou wilt pass
And beyond time shall last
Your song shall forever stay
And echo beyond the end of days.
They came at last to the western boarders of Mirkwood, there was a small clearing and the grass grew thick and dark green. A tall, thick, old oak tree grew in the center and covered the sky so that only a few majestic shafts of golden light flooded through. A small brook also ran through this clearing, traveling from one end to the other.
Legolas dismounted, sliding down off of Colhen's back gracefully. He glanced around the clearing and nodded. 'Well, shall we begin the hunt then?'
He heard the sound of hooves spinning and taking off behind him, he turned around in time to see the twins, Falnier now atop his own horse, galloping off madly through the trees, Legolas heard the twins laughter fade and die away.
There he stood, the Prince of Mirkwood, tricked by his closest friends... And now abandoned on the western boarders of his father's realm.
For a moment he did not know what to do, then he sighed and decided he had better begin the track home, for it would take longer now that he had to walk. A snap of a twig caused him to turn around, he heard a voice, fair and soft, calling a name.
'Siril? Siril! I thing you went too far ahead, I cannot find you! Siril... this isn't funny anymore!' Aireromen stepped into the clearing, clad in a silver gown.
Legolas's eyes brightened at the sight of her. 'A- Aireromen!' He walked swiftly to her.
Aireromen smiled, 'Legolas! What are you doing here?'
'I should ask you the same.' He laughed.
'Siril and I were making a trip to Rivendell, an odd request but I was happy to go, I have not seen my brother in law (Elrond.he married her older sister..it's in Tolkien.never mind..back to the story) for ages' Aireromen responded.
Legolas listened and smiled.
'And now she's run off and I don't know where or why' Aireromen let out a frustrated sigh.
A light went off in Legolas's head; he blinked and laughed to himself. 'Run off you say? I should have known! Why didn't I see it before!'
'What in Eru are you talking about?' Aireromen looked oddly at him.
Legolas took her face in his hands and smiled. 'They set us up my dear, Falnier, Malnier, Siril.. and I bet Haldir had a hand or two in this as well'
'A hand in what? Legolas.. You aren't making any sense.' Aireromen moved his hands from her face and gave him a perplexing glance.
Legolas continued, 'They went behind our backs and planned this whole thing out so we would meet, they knew.. And that's why they did this..' He paced around the clearing. ' They must have known the whole time, they must have known that I was in love with..' Legolas stopped abruptly and looked at Aireromen, her face was easily read. 'You.' he finished.
Aireromen starred at him, unable to speak, unable to move.
Legolas however, moved closer to her and took her by the hand, gazing into her eyes. 'I love you Aireromen, for the longest time I've loved you.' He kissed her soft hand gently.
Aireromen smiled and a tear fell from her eyes, 'I love you too, I could never tell you...I always thought you wouldn't feel the same way about me.' She laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck, they kissed softly. Legolas ran his hands through her long golden hair.
High in the trees, four elves sat, Malnier, Falnier, Haldir and Siril. Haldir met up with the other three not too long ago and they all agreed to spy and see how their plan had worked.
Siril leaned into Haldir, sighing at the romantic scene taking place below them. The twins on the other hand.. Were fighting over a piece of lembas bread, they had brought a whole pack of it and were scarfing it down, like we would eat pop corn while they watched, wide eyed, as the scene below took place. Falnier chewed on the last piece of lembas bread, Malnier snatched it away from him and Falnier stood, smacking his brother on the head and stealing it back. Malnier was not pleased at this and raised a foot, kicking Falnier, who lost his balance and fell out of the tree.
There was a scream and an elven curse as Falnier came crashing down in front of Legolas and Aireromen. They broke apart and stared at Falnier amazed.
The auburn haired elf stood up and dusted himself off. 'Sorry about that... please continue.' He pulled out the piece of lembas that he had managed to save and sat down, eating it. When Legolas and Aireromen made no attempt to continue and instead just gazed at the elf, Falnier took drastic measures. He tore pieces of the lembas apart and started throwing them at Legolas, 'Boo! Come on! I came to see a show! I demand a refund!'
Legolas rolled his eyes and laughed.
Aireromen gazed up into the trees, spotting the others. 'You can come down now, the show's over.' She laughed.
'Awe!' was the mutual response from the remaining three elves in the tree as they climbed down to greet their friends.
Chapter 8: Confession Is Not For The Weak Of Heart.
