okay in this chapter, Hadereth will gain a lover.. now please don't make fun...it took me near forever to figure out who it would be...by the way, I am aware that the elf I am putting Hadereth with did not sail, but heck, if I can say Ecthelion sailed, I can say this elf sailed to right? Hadereth/?

CHAPTER 3

Erestor and Ecthelion sat and watched as Hadereth roamed Valinor. Hadereth caught their eyes and slowly approached them. He seemed different somehow. Erestor waited until Hadereth stood in front of them before speaking.

" Mae Govannen, Hadereth of Gondolin."

Hadereth smiled.

" Mae Govannen, Erestor of Imladris."

Ecthelion grinned.

" Imladris? I thought it was Lorien now. Considering you bedded their Lord."

Erestor elbowed his brother in his side. Hadereth shuffled his feet for a moment, then returned his gaze the brothers.

" I would like to sincerely apologize for the way I behaved in Gondolin. Even in Imladris and Lorien. I know I do not deserve your forgiveness, but I would like you to know that I am no longer the same elf. My time in Gondor taught me many things."

Ecthelion grinned.

" You didn't try to go after the King did you?"

Erestor elbowed his brother again.

" Ecthelion, stop!"

Ecthelion rolled his eyes, then smiled at Hadereth.

" You are forgiven Hadereth. By the both of us. Perhaps in time we will all be friends."

Hadereth nodded and would have replied, but his eye caught the most beautiful elf he had even seen. Erestor and Ecthelion followed his gaze and smiled. It seemed as though Hadereth was in love. Erestor touched Hadereth's arm.

" That is Turgon, the former High King of Gondolin. Do you remember him?"

Hadereth shook his head.

" I was too busy with your Ada and..other things."

Ecthelion smiled.

" It is never too late to meet a King."

Ecthelion caught Turgon's eye and Turgon approached them with a smile.

" Ecthelion, Erestor."

They both bowed in response. Erestor gestured to Hadereth.

" my Lord Turgon, this is Hadereth."

Turgon turned to greet Hadereth and could not help but get lost in his eyes. The brothers held in their laughter. Their former King had fallen in love with Hadereth at first sight.
