as you may have guessed Brethiel is my newest OC...the plan for this to eventually write a Haldir/Erestor story and let all my OC's wreak havoc LOL..this is a Celeborn chapter...
CHAPTER 2
Celeborn sat outside of his royal talan. Galadriel had left to visit Imladris. Strangely enough, it was not awkward for them to have revoked their vows and still rule over Lorien. He watched as some of the elves left for patrol duty and smiled. He had told Haldir to tell his brothers that they could take a day off. Celeborn almost laughed. Maybe he just wanted his brothers out of his hair. Celeborn stopped smiling, when suddenly, Haldir stood beside him with a serious expression on his face. He bowed to Celeborn.
" My Lord."
Celeborn smiled.
" Mara Tuile Haldir."
Haldir did not smile in return.
" Mara Tuile hir nin."
Celeborn noticed that Haldir was upset over something. Celeborn resisted the urge to swallow hard. There were new rumors in Lorien that the Lord of Lorien was in love with Haldir, which was true.
" How do you fare today?"
Haldir swallowed hard.
" Not too well my Lord."
Celeborn nodded in understanding.
" What ails you my marchwarden?"
Haldir shook his head.
" Perhaps it is nothing, but I have come to ask you if you were the one who gave clearance for Brethiel to return to Lorien."
Celeborn shook his head.
" Nay, I did not. I heard rumors of what he had done to some of the elves, like beating them and had him removed. Then again, Galadriel may have cleared him for return."
Celeborn noticed that Haldir had become visibly pale. He stood and ushered the marchwarden into his talan. He rushed and handed him a glass full of water.
" What truly aids you Haldir?"
Haldir turned away from the Lorien Lord. How could he tell him the truth about Brethiel?
