“Why?” Castlyn staggered back as if stung as Gwenneth pushed him from her and from her life.
Her voice as cold and as cutting as her eyes, drove that ice dagger deeper into his heart.
The elf closed his eyes and sighed deeply, as her razor sharp words cut deeper, but he could not deny that in part they were the truth.
He had brought her back in love, his love of her and the life that burned so pure in her, yet, because of that love, he had brought her bright soul back to the darkness and agony. This hell his dark brother had created.
And yet, if time repeated itself, and again she became lost…he would do the same thing again.
Castlyn stayed, silent, on the balcony as Gwenneth flew into the chamber, he knew that whatever he said, however much he pleaded with her, she would not listen.
“Glyndr, what madness has taken you!” the elf hissed under his breath as he heard the terrible truth. That his dark, unpredictable, and dare he think it, evil , brother had stolen Gondor’s hope and joy.
“Valar! Do not harm her” Castlyn whispered, a fear in his heart, He knew his brother. He was his brother in likeness and knew his thoughts.
Yet, Castlyn was not Glyndr in love. Glyndr loved in cold, dark, selfish possession, Castlyn loved in light and truth.
Taking a deep breath, he walked slowly into the room, his blue eyes on the twins.
His own twin did not deserve such fine sons, he hurt even them, the sons he loved, even in his cold ways.
“I play no game!” Castlyn thought, “Gwenneth,…I am NOT my brother!” his soul cried out to her, although he remained silent.
He followed with the twins as she fled the chamber, but she was soon lost to them.
Castlyn left the twins to break the news to the King, he could not face Eldarion, as a reminder of the one who had stolen his precious daughter.
He knew it was futile to even try to speak with Halyn and Gwyndr now, but he would seek them out soon, there were things that had to be said.
Running his hands through his hair he fled the palace, ignoring the gathering people, as he found sanctuary in the tiny, flower bedecked, hidden courtyard that was also Morwenna and Felyon’s safe haven.
Castlyn sat on a low wall, a tiny red flower held in the palm of his hand, he stared at the flower, Glyndr had always called Gwenneth his flower.
“Glyndr!” Castlyn snarled as he crushed the flower in his fist, “ You may be my brother, but I have lost all love I ever had for you”.
“Castlyn?” Felyon’s soft voice spoke at his side, “my dear friend what is it that troubles you so?”
Castlyn looked up into anxious moss green eyes, “What of dear Gwenneth?” the pale elf’s voice as anxious as the look in his eyes, “What of Glyndr?” he added, his voice now low, fearing the answer.
Felyon stared in horror as Castlyn told him the evil news that Morwenna was now at the mercy of Glyndr and that Gwenneth was missing.
“Oh,…oh ..dreadful, dreadful!” Felyon sat beside Castlyn on the wall his head in his hands, “they must both be found soon”, he said , a deep sadness now in his voice.
Castlyn gripped the bright emerald silk sleeve of Felyon’s robes, “Felyon , you know the palace well, we must search for Gwenneth, we must find her”.
Felyon turned to look at Castlyn, the sadness still in his eyes, “I do not know the hidden places as well as dearest Gwenneth might, but I will take you to those that I know”, he said determinedly.
“Then we go now”, Castlyn dragged the pale elf to his feet and set off back to the palace in search of the one he loved.
****************
“A fool am I?” Glyndr snapped his head up sharply as Morwenna spoke, the cold elf had been brooding darkly, toying with a slender dagger, his stare bored into her soul, his eyes sharp points of fierce blue flame.
“I am no fool!” he snapped, stung at her insolence and scathing words, “yes, my fiery little vixen, it is an achievement…”the elf stood slowly, and then slipping the dagger into the front of his tunic, he walked towards her in his feline supple way.
“But then is it not the King who is the fool, for leaving you so unguarded that I could enter your chambers so easily?”
Glyndr gripped her by the shoulders and hauled her to her feet, “So, you shall not bow to my will my pretty?”, he growled icily, as he backed her into the corner, trapped, her back against the cold ,damp stone.
“You have all your mother’s proud spirit” the growl now a velvet purr as he pressed closer, and entwined a lock of her hair around a slender ,gold ringed finger, “Yet, why then did you not use that so unbreakable, unbendable will, and refuse to marry one whom you could never love?”
Glyndr smiled his hypnotic, enchanting smile as he stroked her face , his fingers running lightly over her pale , yet warm skin from her jawline to her neck, “Admit it to yourself my little beauty, you love another, your heart and your soul belong forever to my son”.
The dark elf looked deep into her eyes as his hand moved from her face to the dagger at his chest.
“We shall see, my angel, we shall see how long that proud spirit stays before it breaks to mine” .
In a flash of cold metal , Glyndr had cut a lock of her hair, he stepped back only a pace, the soft tress still wound around his fingers, “ A gift for your father”, he said with a cold venom, “ For this lock of hair will be all he shall ever have to see and to hold of his daughter …..They shall never find you…”.
