Save Them Part Two - Silmarillion One Shot
"Do you see them?" Whispered Elros leaning over to lean over Elrond's shoulder. Elrond shook his head as he gazed around the crowd hoping to spot Maedhros or Maglor but so far he didn't see them. He sighed and stood back and looked at Elros who was looking around again. It was the day of the coronation and they felt that this was their best chance to find them. Yet, there was no plan for one they do finally find them. So, Elrond turned to Elros and asked, "Elros. What's our plan when we do find them?"
"I am not sure yet," Elros replied. He then got an idea and turned to Elrond and said, "I got it! We can ask to join them and we can say we want revenge on Morgoth for destroying our family. We both are skilled swordsmen and your the best healer there is."
Elrond stared at him for a long moment, he shook his head and said, "If we think of nothing else between now and when we find them...we'll do it."
"It's not a bad idea," Elros said. He then turned his head as he heard someone nearby groaning. He looked over his shoulder and saw two elves standing there. He intently recognized them to be Curufin and Celegorm. He couldn't quiet make out what they where saying but Curufin looked annoyed to no end and Celegorm was picking a few leaves out of his own hair. He nudged Elrond with his elbow and gestured with his head over to where the they were standing.
"Elros. Whatever your thinking don't do it," Elrond said.
"Do what?" Elros asked.
"Whatever it is your thinking," He replied.
"I am not thinking anything," Elros said. Elrond just sighed but he turned as there was an annoyed curse in Feanorian Quenya. They turned to see who they guessed to be Caranthir walking away from a pair of red-heads. Yet, Elrond turned around a bit to late and Caranthir didn't really watch where he was going.
"Ow," Elrond groaned as Elros helped him up. Caranthir looked at them for a long moment before he almost walked away. Elrond then knew that Elros was about to be him and get them killed.
"You just bumped into my brother," Elros said.
"Yeah?" Caranthir asked.
"Well you can at least apologize or let me knock down one of your brothers," Elros replied. Caranthir stared at him and raised an eyebrow since not many would talk like that to one of the sons of Feanor.
"You do know who I am. Right?" Caranthir asked.
"Well you aren't Lady Estë," Elros said. Caranthir just blinked not expecting that as the reply while the two red-haired elves behind them covered their mouths laughing.
"What?" Caranthir asked.
"It's a joke, would it really hurt that much to laugh...or smile...or at least half smirk?" Elros asked.
"It wasn't that funny," Caranthir said. He was going to walk away and leave this crazy elf alone. Yet, there was just something about him and that twin standing next to him (that looked a bit faint) that was interesting.
"Then what do you find funny?" He asked.
"I am done with this," Caranthir said pushing himself away before he said anything more. Elros looked at Elrond who was taking deep breaths. He looked back and Amrod and Amras walked over.
"Wow. He didn't start screaming," Amrod said.
"He did almost smile at that," Amras added with a smirk to his brother. Amras turned his head and looked at the twins before them.
"Well. Always fun to meet another pair of twins, who are you two?" Amras asked.
"I am Elros and this is Elrond." Elros said introducing them.
"Well. We can figure you know who we are but I am Amrod and this is Amras," Amrod said. "Or you can call us Ambarussa."
"I have a question though," Amras said. "Why aren't you two acting like most people act when they meet sons of feanor."
"Beside the fact last time I cursed and ran in public Elrond put a laxative in my tea?" Elros asked causing the twins to laugh again.
"Yes. Besides that," Amrod said between chuckles.
"That's a kind of a long story," Elros said.
"Yes but in short we have no reason to fear or hate you," Elrond added.
"What that *quenya swear word* monster did was horrific...it was because of him we lost the only family that truly cared about us." Elros replied getting a small nod from Elrond as his hand clenched.
"I am sorry to hear that," Amrod said gently. "Where you young when you lost them?"
"Yes," Elros said. "Yet, before we did they made sure there was something for us."
"Well your parents sound like very caring elves," Amras said.
"Father and Uncle...adoptive technically." Elros corrected. "Our mother abounded us along with our real father. Yet, they took us in."
Amrod looked at then and hugged them both. Elros and Elrond turned and gave each other a puzzled look not expecting a hug in the first few moments of meeting. Amrod let go only for Amras to hug them. When he let go they stood back and Amrod said, "Sorry. It seemed like you could use a hug."
Elros and Elrond both just nodded. The two red-haired twins thought for a moment before Amras asked, "How good are you two in a fight?"
"Very good. We had three very good teachers," Elros said. He then added, "My twin is also a very skilled heal-"
Yet he didn't have time to finish before Amras grabbed Elros's arm and Amrod grabbed Elrond and started dragging them through the crowd. They pulled them into a hallway then up a long stairwell then within a few moments they paused outside a room knocked togeather and walked in.
"Nelyo!" They said together. Maedhros who was in middle of a conversation with Fingon looked up. When Elrond and Elros saw Maedhros it took everything they had not to run over and hug him. They were both a bit suprised at how he looked, he didn't look so worn out and tired. His face and eye's were not so cold.
"Ambarussa. What in Mandos are you two doing up here?" Maedhros asked looking at the pair. He then blinked as they both started talking at the same time. Maedhros sighed and looked at Fingon for what seemed like a plea for help. The dark-haired elf just chuckled lightly and patted Maedhros's shoulder. Maedhros just shook his head and looked back and the twins. Then he noticed the other set of twins standing slightly puzzled behind them.
Once they where finished they looked at Maedhros expectantly. "Well?" they asked together.
"I would answer if I was able to catch what you two said. Try again but only one of you talk." Maedhros replied. Amrod and Amras sighed. They gave each other a look and nodded. Amrod looked at their eldest brother and explained quickly about who this next set of twins are. He then told him how they met and what they told them about their family.
"They also said they both had good teachers for swordsmanship as well as Elrond is a healer. If they are willing to help us is it alright if they join the hunt for the silmarils?" Amrod finished.
"I will not pull innocents into our fight," Maedhros replied. "Besides, it seems you should have asked them first before dragging them to me."
"He did," Elros lied. "We want to help besides Morgoth destroyed our family. The only one who ever cared about us, we are involved."
Maedhros looked at him and sighed under his breath. "You two will have to ask Kano and the others as well," He said looking at the twins. He then looked back and gave Elrond and Elros a long look. He gave a slight pause as he looked at them then at Fingon.
Maedhros then sighed again and looked at Elrond and Elros. He then said, "I am sorry to hear about what happened to your family,"
"Thank you," they said together.
"Do all twins do that?" Maedhros asked as he heard how they answered. Amrod, Amras, Elrond, and Elros all looked at each other and together said, "Yes."
Maedhros just blinked and shook his head. "Alright. You have my answer Ambarussa, Elrond, and Elros. Yet, perhaps take care of this more after Fingon is crowned? You know when there is a chance to sit down and talk?"
"Alright," Amrod and Amras replied. They headed to the door and led Elrond and Elros out of the room. Once the door closed Maedhros sat down in a nearby chair and rubbed his face.
"Well. I guess I should have someone prepare another guest room tonight," Fingon said as he turned to face Maedhros.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Nothing," Fingon said as he just smiled. Maedhros just shook his head since he knew once the twins brought it up with Kano. He will say yes and allow them to join, not to help with the fighting. Yet, since he saw the look in their eye. The look that even if they refused they'll find some other way to take on Morgoth. Whoever, those twins where they where stubborn as well as thick skinned. He then stood up and pushed the thought about the twins to the back of his mind to deal with later.
Yet, there was something that felt off...
