CHAPTER 2
(That Night)
Ereinion sat in his chambers, alone for the first time that day. He had thought of going to Erestor's chambers and asking him if he cared to join him for a glass of wine, but Erestor had been talking with Glorfindel. Ereinion lowered his glass from his lips, allowing himself to think on his raven haired Advisor. Why was it that Erestor could affect him this way when no one else could? Ereinion shook his head. There were dark times ahead. He did not want to find his love only to lose his love if something were to happen.

Glorfindel shook his head.
" You love him Erestor."
Erestor lowered his head. He knew if he talked about the king to Glorfindel that he would figure it out. Erestor nodded slowly, unable to look his law brother in the eye. Glorfindel put his hand on Erestor's shoulder.
" Can you not tell him?"
Erestor shook his head sadly.
" There are dark times ahead Glorfindel. I do not want my love to discourage him or keep him from his duties as King."
Glorfindel shook his head.
" If he loves you in return, then it would not keep him from anything. Your love would be his strength, just as is my love for Ecthelion."
Erestor raised his head, smiling through his tears.
" Do you believe it to be true?"
Glorfindel nodded, returning the smile.
" Yes I do. Now go talk to Ereinion you foolish Advisor."
Erestor laughed and left his chambers. He had to talk with Ereinion.
