Chapter 70: Telling the news

"WEEEEEEEEE!"

"Legolas- stop!"

The little elflings ran around the house, and none could catch them. Tavel was nearly caught by Galion's brother, and Legolas had nearly been caught by both Cield and Firelien, both trying to grab Legolas at the same time and crashing into each other, failing as the elfling got to escape. Cield got to help Firelien to her feet on the more positive side, which made Cield feel special.

"Legolas, if you do not stop running around I will tell Ada that you behaved like this." Cield threatened. Legolas froze in his tracks, as well did Tavel, and they slowly trotted back to Cield. As Cield was about to lift them into his arms, the two ran off. Cield sighed and shook his head.

"It is no problem as long as they do not break anything." Galion's mother pointed out.

"I promise you they wont." Cield said, Galion's father offering Cield to sit, and Cield sighing and sitting down. The family sat near the elder prince as he told his story. Once his story was finished and all questions answered, they where interrupted by a loud crash and the sound of a small elfling falling over.

"CIELD, HELP!" Tavel came running to Cield and began to tug at the prince's wrist.

"Legolas!" Cield gasped as he was led to where his brother lay. Cield sat beside Legolas. The elfling had apparently been knocked unconscious by running into the corner of the wall. His forehead was red, but no lump was found.

"Key..." Legolas whispered, waking up.

"Legolas, I told you not to run around, and now look what happened!"

"Sorry."

Cield carefully lifted his little brother into his arms.

"I suppose I best be going. You are all welcome to come with me to see Galion If you wish."

"Thank you for coming, my prince. My husband and I cannot go with you, nor can my youngest son, but Firelien may go if she wishes."

"Yes Naneth, I would go."

"Then you may. Your brother has been trying to get past the watchful eyes of the March warden of Lorien, just to see you. He will appreciate your presence."

And so Cield took the elflings and the maiden out of Galion's home and they began their walk back to the palace, Cield very content.
