Chapter 81: Cield and Tonus
This is a flash back of Cield and Tonus' childhood.
"ADA HELP!"
Cield's small little feet could be heard running as fast as they could into the elven halls, where Thranduil was trying to hold a very important meeting, concerning his father's death. Cield jumped up and threw himself into his father's arms, though those arms where not wishing to hold any small elflings. Thranduil began to blush as the important elves surrounding him where looking at him impatiently, and his mother's furious eyes the worst of all. Though Thranduil's mother loved hes grandchildren, as well as hes son, more than anything in middle earth, Thranduil's mother did not approve of this sudden interruption, since this meeting concerned her dead husband.
"Hello my little baby-
"Thranduil." Thranduil's mother snapped, looking at her nervous son. Thranduil was wasting his mother's patience.
"Sorry little one, I cannot keep you here. You must go."
"But Daddy! DADDY! Tonus said he would throttle me if he caught me!"
Thranduil managed to laugh at that.
"Now Cield, you know Tonus would never throttle you. Now, you must go, I am sorry. I will see you as soon as I can, after this meeting."
Thranduil led his small child to the door, despite the elfling's force to turn and leave.
Thranduil shut the door on his son and returned to the meeting, but Cield began to cry and pound his fists on the door.
"Help! Please!"
Cield was grabbed around his waist and shoved onto the floor.
"Daro Tonus!"
Tonus smiled at his brother, but Cield screamed and ran from the palace, Tonus chasing after him. Cield game to a hault at the top of the stairs, and began to cry.
"Daro.... please.. stop...don't throttle me."
"I am not going to throttle you."
Tonus grabbed his brother by his tunic and the youngest prince of Mirkwood (Legolas not born at the time) and held him above the stairs.
"No! Don't drop me! I'd get hurt Tonus!"
"I know you'd get hurt, therefore I will not drop you."
"Really? You so nice Tonus! No hurt me."
"If I hurt you Ada would punish me."
Tonus tossed his small brother the opposite way of the stairs, and re-entered the palace, stepping on his small brother's hand as he entered.
Cield began to whimper as tears ran down his face. How Cield wished he was loved by his elder brother as much as everyone did.

Do not fear, Tonus is nice nowadays!
