Family Reunited
Kili and Fili found Selene surrounded by elflings as she sang softly to them as they watched in awe enraptured by her soft voice and beauty
"Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go
May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay..."
Fili cleared his throat and the elflings ran off, Selene smiled softly at them, they noticed her hand go to the necklace around her neck, it was a tear shaped garnet the size of an acorn, and she absentmindedly rubbed it.
"Who gave you that?" Asked Kili
"It is one of three, each identical except the initials on the back." she showed them it had a B and M scratched into it.
"Who are they? Are they your siblings?"
"They are not my siblings I never met them and no they were and are of the race of man, they captured my heart, oh so long ago now only he remains" she said softly rubbing her finger over the B,"I left so they would be happy together I broke more than one heart that day and I was not there when she died, my sweet Melina. Ten years ago when I burnt the Greenwood."
"How did she die?" Fili asked accepting her confession of polyamory
"She died in childbirth giving them their third child, a little girl if I remember correctly; it was too late for me to go to her when I found out." She silently wiped her cheeks as her tears fell in her grief "Do you wish to see your mother?" she asked
"Yes, you can do that?" Kili asked
"Yes." She replied as she began chanting in a low seductive tone, Kili and Fili felt themselves leaning closer to her a flash of light threw them off balance when a voice said
"Kee, Fee, is that my boys?"
"Mother!" They shouted together
"Oh my boys you look so grown up. Yahaira, is that you?" Selene's head snapped up at the mention of the name given to her by her mother
"Dis?" She asked quietly
"Oh my. Is it you Semine's daughter?"
"You remember me?" She asked softly with pure joy
"Of course I know my own Nadadnathith."
"Dis." Selene hissed
"Nadadnathith?" Kili and Fili asked the dwarf woman at least looked apologetic
"So that mean we are..." they started
"Yes. It does just do not tell anyone" She spoke softly
"Whatever you say cousin." Kili basically shouted until Selene hit him round the head causing him to yelp in pain
"How did you know who I was?" Asked Selene
"Frerin told me everything before he went to war so someone would know about you, and could one day find you." Dis replied causing Selene to smile sadly at the memory of her father.
"I wish I had gotten to have him longer." Selene spoke softly
"You and me both, you and me both." Dis smiled softly "Where are you?"
"Rivendell." Selene answered
"How did you get Thorin to go there I swear he is the stubbornest, hard-headed annoying dwarf I have ever met." Dis ranted when a voice from behind spoke
"I love you too, sister." Thorin chuckled when they jumped.
"I will leave you to it, the spell will last as long as you wish." Selene smiled softly, standing up, Thorin grabbed her arm
"You don't have to go you are family." Thorin said firmly
"I know, there is something I must do as well as finding the courage to apologuise to Dori." She said sheepishly before walking away.
She found herself at the waterfalls she climbed down to find some privacy, when she began chanting softly. An image appeared before her, it showed him, his hair had began to grey, his eyes lacked the light they once had and had wrinkles in the corner, his mouth no longer upturned with a youthful smile it was now frowning from hardship and lonliness. Selene felt a sob come forward, he spun to look for the sound his eyes meeting hers, he looked to say something before he could she cancled the spell and curled up in ball as her sobbed shook through her smaller frame, even after all these years she loved him but she had abandonned them and didn't deserve even a kind word from him. She felt herself grow weary and fell asleep with fresh tears drying on her face at the foot of the waterfall.
