Author's Note - Inwe Nolatari and Tecnokitty have asked in reviews, is Curinir Sarumon. Curinir is Sarumon's Sindarin name, just as Mithrander is Gandalf's. They are both Istari, or Wizards. There are a total of five. Sarumon, Gandalf, Radagast and the two blue wizards. Also, if anyone gripes at anyone else for not knowing, the information is in the Silmarillion. It is an even harder read then the Lord of the Rings.
Chapter Ten - Of Wine Barrels
The next morning, Glorfindel went to check in the horses of the company of Imladris.. He opened the gate to his horses stall. It was then he noticed something.
" You are not Gwilwileth. You are Onod." Glorfindel then went and checked in the stall that Elrond's horse was supposed to be in. He shook his head to see Gwilwileth there. He switched the horses back and then went and fed and watered as he had been planning on doing. He then went to breakfast to try to find the culprits.
"Elrohir, Elladan, why did you switch your father and my horses?"
"Switch your horses?"
"Why would we do that?" Glorfindel shook his head.
"Because you thought it would be a good prank." This caused the twins to looked at each other.
"We didn't do that,"
"No. I bet it was Legolas."
"Master, I don't want to have fun?"
"Good point." Elrond looked at his son, knowing that they were communicating through unheard words.
"What are you two planning now?"
"Nothing," Both responded at the same time. It was then that a servant came in.
"Sire, a shipment of wine has come in. They want permission to unload it,"
"I give it. Why don't you take Prince Legolas and Elrond's sons to go watch?" The servant bowed and beckoned the three elflings to follow him.

The place that the wine was being unloaded was at the river. The river had a small dock that boats came and went from, delivering their goods. A group of older elves were hustling back and forth, loading the wine into wagons. No men were in sight, yet the wine had come by raft from Lake Town. When the elves had finally finished loading the wine into the wagon, a hiss was heard.
"Spiders!"The cry went out. Three of the adult elves grabbed the elflings and placed them on the raft.
"Stay here," All the elflings could do was watch as the spiders descended. One spider got past the adult elves and headed to the raft, reaching on foot out to step on the raft. Legolas drew a small dagger an cut the rope, knowing neither he, nor the twins were a match. The raft sped down stream, knocking them flat. The spider fell into the water. An elf seeing this shot an arrow into the spider and it sank into the river. He made to go after the raft, but was intercepted by a spider. All he could do was fight and watch as the raft sped out of sight with the three elflings.
