In The Stillness Between Moments

by Elariel Erestorion

I am Eruanna Mernaselde of the house of the Tree, once I was called Anne Marie Buchanan and I will be known by that name again. This is my story, a true story, although it all occured, in the stillness between two moments. LegolasOC not Mary Sue Semi-complete see author's note in chapter 16.

21. Chapter 21

Sons of Feanor

When I left the cave I came face to face with a tall dark haired elf with a tortured sadness in his grey eyes. He had some of the same characteristics that were left on all of the royalty of the Noldor. It was something I had seen in Idril, Earendil, and the twins faces. It seemed that Finwe had left his mark on all is descendants in one way or another. I was scared out of my wits at this point as I could only think of one group of Finwe's descendants with dark hair still alive on this side of the ocean, the sons of Feanor.

Maglor tells Eruanna what came to take place at the Havens

Maglor offers to foster the twins

"Lady, I would like to foster the twins. They will need someone who can teach them how to survive," he said.

"And you believe that I know nothing of survival? I will have you know that I stood in Gondolin the day that it fell. I saved a child at the battle of Nan-Tathen. Do you seriously believe that Lady Elwing would have sent her children into hiding with a guardian who knew nothing of survival?" I asked rather insulted by his comments.

I must give Maglor credit he looked thoroughly chastised. "My Lady I meant no insult I am sure that you too have survived things however you are not, well that is to say that you appear to be one of the Edain."

"I am, in a way, but this has what relevance to being unable to survive?"

"Well, as you are mortal, one day you will die will you not?"
