A/N: I don't like the way this is set out as it is not the way I am typing it.
Chapter 3:
Glorfindel awoke. He sat up and looked around him dazed.
Gimli still slept while Gamling sat at his desk looking at his lesson plan.
Glorofindel sighed and moved to a sitting position, before sliding out of his bed.
Gamling turned and looked at the elf in amusement
"Good Afternoon" He said "you have just missed Lunch lessons start in an hour."
"An hour?" Glorfindel said dazed
"Yep" said Gamling returning to his timetable. "First we've got fighting with Thranduil"
"Oh Goodie" Glorfindel said sarcastically "What will we be doing today?"
"Oh Sword fighting" Gamling said enthusiastically "I asked him earlier"
"Well at least that's something I'm good at" Muttered Glorfindel as he got dressed.
Later they were down at the school field where the class was gathered, luckily Aragorn's lot weren't in this class.
Gimli had horse riding with Theoden, his worse subject but except for that, the entire gang was there.
Elladan and Elrohir were chatting to Gamling while he and Arwen were discussing the large essay Thranduil had given them last term on the different types of weapons.
"My essay was 15 pages, yours?" Glorfindel said.
"16"Arwen smirked knowing that Glorfindel was annoyed with her, He was smart but she was smarter.
Glorfindel grumbled at this, he was always trying to outsmart her.
Meanwhile, Thranduil walked up onto the field followed by Boromir and Eomer who carried a large chest.
"Damm!" Arwen exclaimed seeing the two boys approach, "They better not be in our class"
"Right people" Thranduil said a grin on his face "welcome back" as you may have noticed today I will be assisted by these two" He gestured to Boromir and Eomer who had set the chest down a few metres away from the group and were standing behind Thranduil glaring at the group.
"Today we will be doing parrying"
A groan was emitted from the group; they had been doing parrying since last term and knew every manoeuvre possible.
"Yes, yes I know we have done it before but this time its different, you will be arranged into partners…."
"But sir" Gamling said, "we've only got 5 people and that means we can only have two pairs"
"Good point" Thranduil said "But today, Boromir and Eomer will be joining us as will Faramir as he cant do his horse riding" Thranduil said pointing at Faramir who had joined Boromir and Eomer " And Elements of the newer students" He pointed to a group of 4 people standing a few feet behind the group looking worried. He introduced the students one by one, 2 girls and 2 boy. The boy was a human and had thick strong muscular arms, was quite thin and had brown hair; His name was Elemor. The other boys name was Amras; he was an elf with long blond hair and blue eyes and wore a green tunic with a silk clock. The girls were Elf twins; their names were Alassë and Tári. They had long blond hair and wore matching dresses except Tári's was purple and Alassë's was midnight blue. Thranduil then handed them swords, the blades were dull and blunt. He paired them off and as he wanted the new kids to socialise well he separated them. The pairings were as follows.
Arwen- Tári,
Alassë-Glorfindel
Elemor-Gamling
Amras-Faramir
Boromir-Elladan
Elrohir-Eomer
Thranduil then proceeded to explain the task they would each take turns to parry five blows from their partner before switching roles. They them went off with their partners to get some armour and padding so that if they were hit, even though the blades were blunt, they wouldn't cause any damage. Glorfindel and Alassë stood a little away from the group "So" She said "Your name is?"
"Glorfindel" he replied
"Right" Alassë said looking at Glorfindel intently as he tested his swords edge.
"So shall we begin?" he said
"Ok" she said, "I'll go first at parrying?"
"Ok" he said readying his sword she did the same
Glorfindel swung his sword in a diagonal downward slash, his favourite opening move, which normally overbalanced his opponent, but not her he thought as she executed a spinning block before twisting the blade down and making him step back a bit. She smiled watching him intently as he swung his blade in a sideward motion, again she blocked and countered, tripping him and bringing her blade down to rest on his long slender neck.
"Wow!" Glorfindel exclaimed attempting to stand but was held down by the swords blade "Your good"
"Thank you" she replied swinging her blade up and allowing him to stand.
The group carried on like this for a while until it started to rain and they went inside for shelter. Thranduil congratulated Alassë and Tári for their swordplay, both having executed the same manoeuvre on their opponent. Thranduil then collected the essays and let the group trudge off to break.
Arwen followed the girls off to a table and they sat down.
"So" Arwen said "Tári?"
"No I'm Alassë" "Tári" said
"I'm Tári" the real Tári said, "see the dress colours?"
"Oh" she said "Sorry I can't see the difference due to the wetness"
Tári slapped Arwen playfully.
"So anyways what room are you girls in?" Arwen said
"we're in the new rooms next to the archery field" Alassë said
"Room 9" Tári added
"Yes, were sharing with the boys you saw earlier"
"Oh ok" Arwen said "I'm with Elladan and Elrohir in room 7"
Tári and Alassë exchanged blank looks.
"Oh yeah, the Elf twins" Arwen said.
The bell then rung signalling the end of break.
"Cya" Alassë said
"We've got Horse riding" Tári chimed in.
"K cya I've got History"
With that they parted, a new friendship formed
