Okay so chapter 4 of Valinor here...time for that Turgon/OC (Hadereth) thing to go down...there will be mentions of Morsilme in this chapter, but he will not be used as an actual character...if you do not know who Morsilme is, then go back and read Imladris...

CHAPTER 4

Hadereth sat alone on the shores. He had his knees drawn up to his chest with his forehead resting on knees. It was the first time in a long time he had allowed himself to really cry. What had he done? How could he have done that to both Ecthelion and Erestor? What had they done to deserve that treatment? Hadereth sobbed softly. He could not believe the elf he had been. Even though his childhood wasn't exactly the happiest, he knew deep in his heart that what he had done was wrong. Hadereth let out a loud sob. He could not even believe that Ecthelion and Erestor had forgiven him. He was so loat in his despair that he did not feel the hand that touched his shoulder. He heard another voice from behind him.

" What ails you Hadereth?"

Hadereth raised his head and turned. There stood Turgon. Ashamed of his tears, Hadereth quickly wiped them away. Turgon let go of Hadereth's shoulder and sat beside him, waiting for Hadereth to speak. Hadereth swallowed hard. He did not want to face Turgon, so he looked out to the Sea.

" I was very cruel to both Ecthelion and Erestor when we were all living in Gondolin. "

Turgon nodded, but did not understand. He gently laid his hand on Hadereth's knee.

"What is it you have done that is cruel? I do not believe it could have been bad enough that you would be crying this harshly over it."

Hadereth still refused to meet the King's eyes. He looked at the ground.

" I have taken them both. Against their will."

Turgon looked at the elf beside him and Hadereth could feel his eyes on him. Slowly, Hadereth looked up into Turgon's eyes. There was no disgust in his eyes. Turgon simply nodded and gently patted Hadereth's knee.

" So you were the friend of Morsilme that had been rumored around Gondolin to have been bound to Erestor?"

Hadereth slowly nodded. Turgon looked out at the Sea, then back to Hadereth.

" If both Ecthelion and Erestor have forgiven you, then do you not think it is time to forgive yourself?"

Hadereth felt Turgon's hand leave his knee and gently caress his cheek. Hadereth closed his eyes for a moment. He had only felt this gentleness one other time. Hadereth felt tears fall down his cheeks. He opened his eyes and looked at Turgon. Hadereth smiled.

" Yes, I do."
