Time to Grow

Chapter one – New Friends

Lord Elrond and Lady Celebrian of Imladris were proud to announce the safe arrival of Arwen Evenstar. As a result, they were holding a great party and all elves were invited to join the celebrations.

King Thranduil of Mirkwood rode on his proud white stallion beside his beautiful, dark haired queen, Sarlinna. In her arms Sarlinna held a small golden haired elfling around the age of two.
“We are nearly there!” Sarlinna said softly.
“Is Liadan ready?” questioned Thranduil, though he sounded almost afraid to ask. As if for an answer, a young elf-maid with the same dark hair as Sarlinna flipped down from a nearby tree and landed safely in Thranduil’s arms. She smiled at the disturbed elf king. Then, as though sensing his anger, leaned forward and kissed his cheek.
“No time to change dear, just try and be good while we are here please!” Sarlinna said kindly and gently woke the sleeping elfling. “Wake up my sweet Greenleaf, we are at Imladris, wake and see the beautiful gardens!” the elf-babe slowly opened his large blue eyes and watched as they entered through the gates.

Celebrian momentarily forgot she was a fully grown elf-lady as she ran forward to greet her life-long friend, Sarlinna. The two elves embraced and chatted together in low voices. Celebrian’s slivery air contrasting with Sarlinna’s dark hair. They walked inside with Elrond and Thranduil following. Liadan stood watching the identical boys standing on the doorstep. They were whispering together then suddenly looked up at the waiting elf-maid. They grinned at her. As she walked towards them she studied them for anything to tell them apart. Then she too smiled.
“Hi, I’m Liadan!” she said.
“Elladan-”
“- and Elrohir!” said the twins.
“So-“Liadan left it hanging.
“Wanna have some fun?” asked Elladan.
“Sure!” Liadan answered and the three ran off to play.

Lord Elrond stood just inside the door and watched the three run off. He smiled sadly to himself, the three friends would go through some tough times, he just hoped they all lived to help each other…
