Chapter 69: To Galion's house we go
The elflings Legolas and Tavel, now fed and happy, where on their way to Galion's house to tell his parents and siblings of his incident that day. Cield held Legolas close to his chest as the elfling was shivering, because he had not worn his warm cloak.
"I told you that you should wear something warmer." Cield almost laughed as the elfling buried his body in Cield's warm cloak. "I know Key, I know..." Legolas muttered, looking down and Tavel and sighing. Cield kissed his baby brother and continued to walk.
"Are we there yet?"
"Nay."
"Are we there yet?"
"Nay."
"Are we there yet?"
"Nay."
"Are we there yet?"
"Nay."
"Are we there yet?"
"Nay."
"Are we there yet?"
"GAH!" Cield yelled, shoving his brother's small body out of his arms. The elfling flew forwards and into the snow banks. Tavel helped Legolas up and the elfling gave a cold glance at Cield as he walked back to the side of his brother.
Once they arrived at the door of Galion's parents house, the elflings knocked at the wooden door. Soon the door was opened and the maiden at the door immediately bowed.
"Prince Cield." She whispered.
"You need not bow, my lady." Cield smiled, aiding the maiden to her feet.
"What brings you and these two elflings to these parts of the woods sire?"
"Well, first I must ask you. Is this the home of Galion's family?"
"Galion is my dear elder brother, and I, Firelien live here with our parents, my young brother Cudir and my younger sister Dinwen."
"Good. But, not as good as the news I bring. A man has been caught at the palace... he attacked the elves lifting the barrels. Galion was attacked worst out of the three who where attacked." Cield told Firelien, who looked shocked and nervous.
"What... how... how is Galion? Is he-
"No. Galion was knocked unconscious, cut and his arm was burnt slightly, but that is all. He is recovering in the palace at this moment-
Cield stopped as he noticed the elflings running around him in circles. Then Legolas yelped as he was lifted from the ground, and Tavel stopped running to look up and see how come Legolas was flying away.
Firelien handed Legolas to Cield, who blushed and took Legolas in his arms.
"My apologies, my lady. Legolas... he is very excitable." Cield said, glaring at Legolas and giving him a small slap to his backside, angry that Legolas had interfered with his important speech concerning Galion. Plus, Cield found Galion's sister was beautiful and wished to take her for diner one night, and the annoying elfling was not helping his chances of her saying yes.
"Meanie." Legolas muttered to Cield as his brother held him close to his chest so the elfling could not slide away as he kept trying to.
"Come inside you three, the rest of my family should hear of this event." Firelien said, opening the door to the house wider and letting the three inside.
