All for the Ones I Love

Chapter 9: Secrets Out

Elrond sat in his study looking at the documents in front of him, and yet not seeing them at all. A Lorien message left unopened on top. His mind kept replaying the message to him along with the story of Luthien and Beren. He would not let his only daughter succumb to such a fate.

'How Dare He! That … That … Adan!' Elrond thought mentally spating at the image of Aragorn. 'I open my doors and heart to him and this is what I get in return! He can not…' Elrond’s eyes cleared from their angered haze and focused on the letter in front of him 'will not take her. Not while I can do anything about it.'

Elrond quickly calmed himself and opened his mind, once relaxed enough and emotions controlled for a short time he reached out his mind in search for Galadriel.

~Good day Elrond it has been many a year since you have contacted me in this manner~ said the mystic voice of the elven woman.

~Lady Galadriel I have a request to make.~

~Of course Elrond what is it you ask?~

~Lady Galadriel I need you to relay a message to my sons. Tell them I am in need of them at home. It's urgent.~

Sinceing something was amiss the elf witch prodded into Elrond’s subconscious, but it instantly became closed off to her. Though not before her mind grazed the seething anger bottled inside of him, but what he was angry for she did not know. ~Elrond, what has happened? What's going on over there?~

Elrond opened his eyes and instantly closed his end of the connection and went in search of Gilraen. He needed to speak with her.

Galadriel blinked to clear the glazed look from her eyes the trance had caused. Sighing she turned to her husband, who waited patiently for his wife to come back. He had seen those looks enough to know not to bother her during or right after be they premonitions or mind speaking with another being. He always waited she would tell him when she was ready.

Breathing out a worried sigh she finally spoke. “Something is about to happen in the Peredhil house and it does not look pleasant." she finally said answering Celeborn's unspoken question. "Elrond is angered by something and has requested his sons to come home immediately.”

That didn’t seem right to Celeborn. “Does Elrond know what his sons are here for?” Celeborn was confused by his son-in-laws actions. Surly Elrond allowed them to chase the orcs, even if he didn’t he wouldn’t normally drag them back to lecture them. The twin elves and man were old enough and highly trained, they knew how to take care of themselves.

“He knows. No, this is something else.“ Motioning to a nearby servant she said, “Bring me the sons of Elrond. I have an urgent message for them.”

The servant bowed and left to carry out his orders.

Not soon after Celeborn felt his wife stiffen. Looking over he saw her in another trance, this one he could tell was a vision. He relaxed a little, after all these millennia it still worried him to feel his wife suddenly stiffen like that.

When Galadriel came to she smiled sadly, “This is an interesting turn in events.”

“What is?” Asked Celeborn curiously

“History does indeed repeat itself.” she said simply. “The lives of Elrond and his family shall for ever be changed. However it is not yet set in stone what is about to happen. It can easily go awry and all shall be lost if that stubborn elf I call son does not ruin it.”

Celeborn was confused, but use to her riddles. “You’re not going to tell me, are you?”

Galadriel smiled, “No.”

The doors opened to allow entrance to the sons of Elrond.

A/N: Short I know. But I’ll be really busy for a while so I decided to be nice and send this out before I forgot it.
