How They Met
Disclaimer: See Chapter one
AN: Yes people his wonderful Blondness showed up in the last chapter. I sure hope he's as brave as all the texts say he is. For now he will undertake a mission so dangerous most run away screaming at the prospect. He will met the twins.
Elrohir: It's not that big a deal.
Elladan: Yea we promise not to kill him, but other than that we promise nothing.
Erestor: Glorfindel you better get that in writing.
Glorfindel: Erestor what do you mean by that? What is she going to make them do?!
Remember all Glorfindel stuff (history with Elrond and things) I'm basing on what I've read in the books and other sources. Boy is he a hard elf to find information on.
Chapter 6: At Last We Meet! First Impressions.
Finally they had made it to the library. Glorfindel wanted to run in and slam the doors shut to escape the stares, and flirtatious behavior of Mîrelena, but of coarse the curtsey and manors of an Elf lord would not permit this. So he way calmly thanked her for leading him and his companions to the library. This mere slip of a girl was making him very uncomfortable; her interest in him was not right. Glorfindel only hoped that she would find a nice elven lad and go after him.
Glorfindel almost wanted to dance when he heard the voice of Elrond tell the she-elf that her assistance was appreciated and that she was dismissed. Mîrelena gave Glorfindel one last look, smiling at him then left the room blushing.
"I am sorry about that. Mîrelena is at that age where she finds older male elves attractive. I am glad my daughter will not go through this for many, many, many years." Elrond smiled to Glorfindel. 'He is familiar.' Elrond thought. Motioning to a chair in front of his desk. "Please be seated."
Glorfindel did as he was told. Then he noticed that a few maids had popped their heads in front of the window. Once they realized he was looking at them, they giggled and quickly ran away from the window.
Elrond just smiled and shook his head. He was highly amused at the uncomfortable blonde elf on the other side of his desk. "Seeing as how you are currently the only one in Imladris with Blonde hair you shall have to get used to getting some attention from the fairer sex."
Glorfindel nodded, a little agitated that Elrond found this so amusing.
"So you are to be the twins new teacher?"
"Yes Lord Elrond."
Elrond then moved his gaze to Dúmenel and Nimorn. "And you are the escorts?"
"Correct, Hîr nin." Then both escorts gave a bow. Glorfindel looked at them in disbelief. 'What happened to my two immature escorts?' then he glared at them. ' Of course now they act as they should.'
"What is your name?" The question directed to Glorfindel.
His blue eyes moved to Elrond." My name is Glorfindel."
And there it was again. That nagging feeling in the back of Elrond's mind, suggesting that he knew this elf from somewhere.
"Do you hail from Lorien?"
"I have currently be living in Lorien but it is not where I am from."
"Then where are you from?"
"Gondolin."
Elrond's eye widened." That is impossible."
Both Dúmenel and Nimorn tried in vain to hold back their laughter at the look on Elrond's face." It is not a lie, nor is it impossible hîr nin." Nimorn said with a smile. Dúmenel smiled too. "You bid the Lady's help and she sent you the best she knew. And the best hails from the long ago city of Gondolin."
Glorfindel just calmly stared at Elrond, who looked a little in shock. This shock didn't last long though.
' After all.' Elrond thought.' She is the Lady of the Wood. She posses a ring of power like me. She has the bloody mirror. Who's to say she couldn't have found a survivor of Gondolin.'
"Very well. " Then Imladris's lord stood up and put his hand to his heart. "Well come to Imladris Glorfindel of Gondolin. "
Glorfindel smiled and returned the greeting; it had been a long time since some one had called him that.
"Now tonight there will be a feast then music in the hall of fire. You three are guests to my city and are expected to attend."
"May I met the my students?"
Elrond nodded." I don't think that would be a problem. I have gone soft on their punishment today and they are running around in my wife's garden. Erestor will take you to them. It was good to meet you."
"And you as well Lord Elrond." Glorfindel bowed and followed Erestor out of the room.
'Where have I seen him before?' Elrond thought over and over.
"Oh come on just give it a try!" Elladan said placing the bow and arrow in his twin's hand.
Elrohir frowned." You know I am a klutz with bows and arrows. I prefer swords."
"That's just because you've never really tried." Elladan replied, then got a evil smirk." I bet you that Mîrelena fancy's archers rather and swordsmen." He laid the bait and waited.
A minute later Elrohir was notching his arrow and getting ready to fire.
" This garden is lovely." Glorfindel said, looking at all the plants as he and Erestor walked down the paths looking for the Twins.
"Yes the Lady Celebrian picked out the majority of the flowers planted."
"So if I may ask how will I know if I've found the twins? I've only been here maybe a hour at most."
"Just look for miniature versions of Elrond." Erestor laughed, and continued to walk down the path.
Glorfindel would have kept walking too, but just behind on of the willow trees he heard some noise.
"No, no you're not pulling it tight enough try again!"
Peeking his head around the oak tree he noticed two Elven boys. Two twin elven boys. One held a bow and arrow and the other seem to be berating him about it.
"You're not holding it right!"
" Stop telling me what to do! I have been to archery before." The one boy yelled to the other, as he turned to face the other boy, his finger slipped. The arrow released and firmly imbedded itself in the tree, very close to Glorfindel's head.
Stunned he backed up, his feet rustling the leaves of a plant, drawing the attention of the two boys.
"Who are you?" The bowless one asked.
"What are you doing in these gardens?" Asked the one with the bow. " These garden's belong to Lord Elrond and his family."
Before Glorfindel could answer Erestor came back. "Why did you stop? I got half way to the end of the path and noticed that-" Then he saw the Twins, armed. He noticed the arrow imbedded in the wood. ' I do not want to know. I do not want to know.' He repeated over and over in his mind.
" Masters Elrohir and Elladan this is your new teacher. Lord Glorfindel."

Odd way to meet a teacher isn't it?

Lomelinde- yes it's true he is a breaker of hearts!
Reginabean- Yes I know I'm evil. But at least now he's met the twins.
Tara- Will the Mirelena thing cause trouble between Elrohir and Glorfindel? Hmm only time will tell.
