Galdrion stretched. His muscles were cramped after the long days he had spent atop of the broad backed harulth. It had been forty one days since he had left his people, and were only now drawing to the edge of the desert. Scant bushes and shrubs had began to replace the endless dunes, and he knew that this meant that there would only be a few more weeks of travelling before he reached the first of the heathen elves outposts, a place they called Lorien. His wives were tired. They had also been riding for the forty one days, and they were sore from having spent such a time astride. But they dared not complain. The youngest of them, no more than a century old, and the newest wife, (therefore having the least status among the others) looked around her. She had no name any more, until her husband saw fit to bestow one upon her, according to her attributes or skills. She had once been named Sahara, but that name was gone now, torn from her just as her virginity had been, to leave her within the grasp of this cold, possessive lord. She took in all around her, her dark eyes not missing a thing. As she looked around, she caught the gaze of the oldest of the wives, She Who Sees All, and quickly lowered her eyes again under her betters' scowl. She chafed at the tight restraints put upon her by society, and dreamt of something that she could not name, of a sense of being someone that she could not place, of a place where she could be herself without someone punishing her for it. She did not know if such a place existed, but she was determined in her travels to find out. They rode on.

The twins, having gotten over their little debacle and being the shameless rascals they were, decided to see how all fared with Allarah. After near forty days of her teasing them, appearing to want them one minute, and spurn them the next, they were beyond frustrated. The continued stay of the two elleths from Lorien had (following Allarahs example) brought in to being a new breed of elleth at Imladris, for Allarah had quickly captured the hearts of all, and also, (just as quickly) become a trend setter. Her treatment of the twins was quickly mirrored by elleths everywhere towards all ellons. Now, none of the elleths were swooning after their beloved ellons any more, begging for attention or giving in to the ellons half hearted courtships but rather, were quickly becoming the most frustrating, hard-to-get ladies that Imladris had ever seen. Such was the extent of the change, that many of the bonded ellons had to try and woo their loved one all over again! It was fair to say that Allarah had caused a stir.

Allarah smiled as she watched Imladris from her balcony. She loved these peaceful moments in the evening, as the sun was setting, and the twins had left her for….wait a second, the twins had left her? Something was definitely not right. Those two were up to something. They never left Allarah alone for any longer than minutes, convinced that if they did, they would lose her to some other adoring ellon. Lorasar and Glorfindel had not been seen for the best part of a week. Newlyweds, she thought, shaking her head in good humour. The two had bonded just under a week ago. And the twins had been running rampant ever since, with the help of Allarah. Without the controlling hand of Glorfindel, none were safe. Lorasa's happiness had made Allarah content, for she was glad that her broken friend had finally found someone, but just made Allarah long all the more for the one she wanted. There was just one problem. She didn't know who he was. Or, to be more specific, which one he was. She couldn't decide between the twins. She loved them both. They were more like one person, just in two different bodies. And she had never had such fun as she had with them. She was still laughing over the prank they had pulled on Erestor just yesterday, when he had awoken to find that not only was he not in his room anymore, but that he was somewhere on one of the roofs of Imladris. Erestor had taken this surprisingly well, well used at this stage in his long life to the twins pranks. (although, he admitted to himself in the privacy of his own study, once he had managed to get down from the roof, that the arrival of Allarah had seemed to only make them more inventive and more original in the pranks they played).

Allarah sighed, the mirth of yesterday fading from her eyes. She turned to leave the balcony, when suddenly, a blindfold dropped over her eyes, and a pair of arms gripped her around the waist. She started to struggle, until she heard a seductive voice lean down and whisper huskily, in her ear. "So would you like to find out if we are identical in every way?"

A/N: I know I know. A very short chapter. With a bit of a cliff hanger. But there will be a longer one coming soon. Now, forty days down the track, Glorfy and Lor are bonded, And haven't been seen since. Lol. Three guesses as to what they're up to... Don't think that just because Lor agreed to bond with Glorfy that she still isn't going to argue with him. And frustrate him. And annoy him. And infuriate him. The list goes on ! this will be fun! Be prepared for possible one of the most stormy and humourous marriages ever to hit Middle Earth. (we'd hate Lorasar to turn in to a baby bunny, all fluff and sweetness for her big strong husband, now wouldn't we! Glorfy could do with a challenge!)

Thanks Creccy for your reviews. I remember you read my last story and reviewed it too. I love writing them, so I might keep with the whole humour thing for a while, coz lets face it, the twins are such loveable rascals, any story with them in it will be funny.

Ans Lady Ankh su naman. (I can never get the spelling right! Lol) I love it when you give me those long reviews. they're the highlight of my net surfing. Keep reading and reviewing, and I look forward to your next review.

Silverwolf. I love your reviews too. They're always full of good ideas. If there's something wrong, I know you'll let me know, and I appreciate your opinion. Epp reading.

And once again, my authors note is threatening to become longer than my actual chapter. . ha. (p.s. I know that one 'man' within the last chapter or so annoyed me too, because I always try so hard not to use that word when I'm writing about the elves! It frustrates me. It just sat there starin at me after I had posted it.ggrrrrrrrr!)
