‘Erestor, awaken we must be at bay’ Lightening flashed making Glorfindel’s silvery hair almost glow. Erestor shook himself from his reverie then grinned broadly at his friend under the dim light. Night shrouded the haven of Rivendell and a storm began to brew over it.

Glorfindel closed the windows and dragged the billowing curtains shut. Erestor began lighting many candles around the room then they both sighed and waited.

The first knock resounded and the person automatically opened the door and entered.

‘Right on time Lord Elrond, we have everything prepared’ Snickered an alert Glorfindel tapping a box under the bed. Elrond smiled then graciously sat in a large comfortable looking arm chair.

Just as he sat down, pelting showers of rain could be heard outside. Erestor’s smile grew wider and another flash of lightening escaped the shut curtains.

‘One oliphants, two oliphants, three oliphants…’

BANG! The ground rumbled with thunder like a heavy cascade of boulders.

Erestor continued counting after it quietened and Elrond frowned a little and said,

‘They usually never make it to six oliphants…’ Glorfindel laughed lightly at that and replied,

‘Do not worry my Lord, they will be along soon enough’ Just as he had finished the sentence there was a nimble knock at the door.

‘Ai, come in Ellandan’ Elrond called out pleasantly and watched his son creep into the room.

‘Ada, I am scared’ He said shivering, then crawled onto Elrond’s lay, curling into a ball.

‘Shhhh ion nin, it will pass soon’ Glorfindel pulled the box out and retrieved a patched blanket out and passed it to Elrond, who wrapped it round Ellandan.

‘Elrohir has never made it to sixteen oliphants’ Erestor commented and continued counting.

BANG! Another roll of thunder clapped and Ellandan pulled closer to Elrond.

‘I left him, he said he was going to be brave’ Elrond laughed at this and answered gently,

‘He is being very brave, and so are you ion nin’
Moments passed then BANG! The third clap of thunder rumbled, then slightly after it was a,

‘ELLANDAN!’ Sounds of pattering feet and another elfling bursting into the room.

‘Twenty one oliphants, well don’t Elrohir’ Erestor said brightly and watched the other twin crawl and sit by Glorfindel’s feet.

Erestor pulled out the box again and took a tattered fox soft toy and handed it to Glorfindel.

‘Legolas said he has faced spiders, so a storm is nothing to him’ Elrohir said while hugging the fox and clutching Glorfindel’s legs.

‘Is that so?’ Erestor said with a slight chuckle, ‘ I believe Legolas will drop by soon enough’

BANG Another clap thundered the room and each twin hugged tighter to their companion.

Soon as expected the door popped open and a blond head and frightened face came to view.

‘I um, was on my way to the bathroom?’ He said sheepishly and shivered.

Erestor smiled and patted the bed beside him and smiled.

BANG! In two steps Legolas was by Erestor’s side snuggling close.

‘You made it to thirty one oliphants’
