Note: Thanks for the reviews. Please post some ideas. Let's begin.
Elrond of Rivedell looked up sharply from the book he was reading when the messenger came busting through the doors.
"There is a message for Elrond, Half-Elven of Rivendell from Gandalf the White." The messenger said.
"What is this message about?" Elrond asked calmly.
"Gandalf said it concerns your granddaughter." The messenger answered before Elrond dismissed him with a wave of his hand.
By Elrond's knowledge he did not have a granddaughter, it was true both his sons had been courting Elf-Maiden but he had never known that he had a granddaughter from one.
When he had read the letter, he sat down in his chair with his head in his hands. He should have known this but maybe he was simply to late. By the time he had gotten to Lorien, Tarien (Nienna's mother) had died. Elrohir had been devastated but it had been more then a 1000 years ago. How could he tell Elrohir this? That he had a daughter while he had come over and moved on with his life after his beloved death?
Elrond stood up and walked to the door. He knew what he had to do. Walking straight to the Archery ground, he soon saw Elrohir and Elledan, his twin sons, sparring with their swords held high.
"Hello, Ada." Elledan, the older of the two said before he blocked his twin's brother's attack.
"Hello, sons. Elrohir, a word with you please?" Elrond asked grimly.
"Whatever it is, can't it wait until we are done, father?" His son asked him.
"I guess it can wait but I don't want to. It is better that you know this as soon as possible." Elrond said before walking back to the house.
Elledan looked at the retreating back of his father and then exchange a look with his brother, something was very wrong here. Elrohir dropped his weapon and ran after his father.
"Ada, what is going on?" Elrohir asked when he was in his father's office. Elrond looked up from rereading the letter again and offered his son a seat before he began.
"The thing is, Elrohir, that I have to tell you something, something very important. Do you know how Tarien died?"
A look of long lost pain passed Elrohir's fair features. "Is that all you wanted me to ask, Ada? Cause you could have done it before Elledan. She died when the orc's tortured her."
"No, my son, she did not. She was captive by Saruman when she traveled to Rohan. She escaped but died later. But that is not what I wanted to speak about. When she was taken captive, she carried your child." Elrond said softly.
Elrohir laughed. "That is not possible, you off all people should know that, father. I mean, we never slept..." Then his voice broke as a look of dazedness passed his face.
"Are you sure about that?" Elrond asked him."It is not true, father. I mean, we would have known if she were. Right, father, I mean we would have know, wouldn't I" Elrohir stuttered before his voice failed him all together. Elrond moved to his second born and pulled him closer.
"She might not have knows, neither did you then. All I know that she must have told Galadriel about it and there is this letter from Gandalf. I am sorry, my son, I truly am." Elrond whispered while he handed Elrohir the letter.
Moments of silence passed while Elrohir's eyes flashed over the letter. "Then if grandmother knew, why did she never tried to save her? Why did she never tried to save this child, my child, my Nienna?" He said while his eyes flashed back to the letter, to check the name.
"Because we did not want to believe that Saruman would do this, son, that is why." Elrond said calmly.
"Did you know about her?" Elrohir asked his voice shaking.
Elrond shook his head and Elrohir's hand went to his head. "This is my child, my child and Tarien's child. I though I lost here and when I finally left the pain behind me, somebody comes along and tells me that I have a daughter named Nienna."
Elrond nodded and Elrohir dropped his head in his hand but not before his father saw the despair and pain and joy in his son's eyes. A second later, Elledan burst through the door. After a quick look at his twin, he turned his gaze to their father and asked. "What is going on?"
"I just found out that I am an Adar." Elrohir said looking up for a minute.
"Mani? (What)" Elledan said while Elrohir handed him the letter.
"This cannot be true. How can you be a father? Who is the mother?" Elledan asked full have disbelieved.
"Tarien is." Elrohir whispered. Elrond saw the look of dawning on Elledan's face.
"What do you want to do, Elrohir?" Elrond asked.
"I would like to see her. Gandalf wrote that she is safe with him and Legolas and Aragorn and Gimli in Helms Deep but next they will make for Isengard and adventualy they will go to Dunharrow and Gondor." Elrohir answered.
"I will ride to Dunharrow, but I think, it is better, my sons that you go to Lorien and one of you stays here. I will promise to tell her about us and keep her safe." Elrond said.
"But, Ada?" Both Elves jumped up.
"No, buts, you two stay here and I will take care of her. Now Elrohir get some rest. I will leave first light tomorrow." Elrond said his face stern.
Elrohir made it to his chamber where he looked out the window and to the stars. He wondered about his daughter and if she would wanted to get to know him. Little did he know that at Helms Deep an Elf-Maiden was looking at the same stars and asked them to keep her safe when they left for Isengard the next morning.
This is it for now. Please review.
