CHAPTER 7

Brethiel smiled.

" Lord Celeborn, Marchwarden Haldir."

Haldir could not find his voice. He did not move from where he was. He looked to Celeborn, who had started to stand.

" Brethiel, welcome back to the Golden Wood."

Brethiel nodded.

" Thank you my Lord."

Celeborn turned to Haldir for a moment.

" Will you excuse us Haldir? I must speak with Brethiel alone."

Haldir nodded slightly and left the Talan. After he made it to the forest floor, he took off running.

XXXXXXX

" Why is it that you have returned Brethiel?"

Brethiel grinned.

" I missed the wood.."

Brethiel trailed off, then looked toward the door of the Talan.

" and my lover."

Celeborn's eyes widened. Brethiel believed that Haldir was his?

" Brethiel, Haldir does not love you. I have heard what happened with the two of you and I know you raped him. So, I tell you this: stay away from him. If I find out you have gone near him, I will have you cast head first into the Mountain of Doom."

Brethiel glared at the Lord of Lorien.

" Make what ever threat you desire, my Lord Celeborn, but I will have you know: it was not I who raped Haldir, it was Haldir who raped me."
