Written by Zhie with creative
consultation by Maggie and Monty.
Rated G. Completed May 1, 2003; Edited November 28, 2003.
The main characters are Haldir and Orophin, with appearances by elves of
Lothlorien and Imladris.
Haldir did indeed take up Elrond on his offer to obtain further schooling in Imladris. He spent the better part of a decade under the instruction of Erestor and Elrond.
Elrond formally asked Celeborn permission to court Celebrian, to which Celeborn harassed him a bit, warned him that Celebrian was, if he hadn’t noticed, the daughter of Galadriel, and happily conceded before Elrond could truly give second thoughts to the idea.
Orophin, in fact, decided to pray for Rúmil to be ‘bigger’ anyhow. Haldir still grumbles today about the fact no one thought to pray for him to be taller than his brothers.
Rúmil turned out okay, despite everything that had to happen for him to get to Arda.
He secretly thinks himself to be much, much prettier than Glorfindel, no matter what anyone says.
