Chapter Twenty-Three

"This hotel room is incredible," Said Maglor looking around the room or rather the main area for the hotel.

"Yes. The agency I work for does pay very well," He said.

"Who founds it," Maglor asked.

"As I said. We are centries old we have still have those riches from history," He replied. Maglor nodded and looked over as the door opened and Aegnor stumbled in. He looked a bit green and he wobbled as he walked in.

"Aegnor? Are you alright," Maglor asked.

Alton sighed and said, "It seems he once again showed at his skill avoiding traffic,"

"Who?" Maglor asked.

"I am not that bad at driving," Amrod said as he walked in with his twin who snickered and said, "You are a brother. That's why next time I am driving."

Maglor looked at his brothers and within a few moments, he was hugging them at once. They both were smushed as he pulled them close.

"Kano?" They asked together. Maglor just pulled back and said, "Sorry. It's been a while since I have seen you."

The two nodded and Maglor straightened up and said, "Well. Alton, you said you'll tell me what happened with my brother."

"That's right," He said. "Please sit," He gestures to the couch that was across from him. Maglor and Aegnor sat across from here where the twins just sat on the floor by the table.

Alton sat back and said, "I should start the beginning. This agency started since there was or rather a Valar came to these lands and since they felt a strange presence that was beyond the horizon. So he went to look into and left Valinor and middle earth. He found the humans and their culture he stayed there for a while. He realized that everything he thought to be true was a lie. Yet, when he went back to the other Valar and tell them they thought he had been corrupted by Melkor as well. They banished him from their home but he chose to ignore their foolishness and came back to these lands. Yet a few years after he returned he found that a group of 12 elves woke up here and not in middle earth. He left them with someone who will watch them and then went back to the Valar and told them. When he returned they attacked him and he escaped and hatred burned in him. He saw the Valar had no sense or minds of their own. It is after that where we do not know much of his story only that he wanted to make the Valar suffer greatly and make them know what it is to feel pain.

We do know that over time it got much worse his hatred to them. Even more so after they banished all of you. However, we saw that his hate blinded him to the world and he will do everything to make them suffer. The only beings he cared to care about was men and those 12 elves who did swear allegiance to him after they found out what happened. They kept close to each other and they hated the Valar as well since he told them what happened. They felt it was unfair but there were a few who saw that his madness will lead to just destruction. So they left and went to explore the world. They did go to middle earth but they chose not to tell anyone who they were and what they knew. They just stuck to the shadows and kept their secrets."

Aegnor and Maglor just sat there in stunned silence. It seems the twins already heard this and as Alton was talking they started a card game. Maglor took a breath and said, "Let me get this straight...there was another Valar who hated the others since he found out everything was a lie. He then saw how flawed the Valar were and swore to make them suffer. Yet, what does that have to do with what happened to Maedhros?"

"He has many years to plan his revenge and has done many things for that. We have just been more so protecting humanity from his madness yet that changed when elves fully left middle earth and these two words started to merge. We found a captured elf who chose not to sail and all I can say was what he did to them was nothing but horrific. Then we found he was targeting elves who have not sailed or at least kept tabs on them. We chose to make a better point and protect them and still try to stop him. We were never successful. In all truth a lot about him is unclear and what his true plans are and what he plans to do if he ever reaches his goal to make the Valar suffer. Yet, we do know that he somehow has a hand in the elves that are reincarnating and has a plan for them. What we do not know if it is random the elves that get reincarnated or picks them out." He replied.

Maglor nodded and sat back in silence thinking deeply. It was Aegnor who spoke up now, "What about me? Was it him who was targeting me?"

"From what we have saw...yes. Yet, we are unsure why since in all honesty if they really wanted they would have had no trouble in killing or kidnaping you if they really wanted to. He and his group well those who are not human have had centuries to perfect their skills and those who are human. The families have been working for him since he first came here. They have been learning these skills from birth." He said.

"You said not human? Who else has he working for him?" Maglor asked looking up.

"Well those elves who I have told you about and a group of Maira who he convinced to come with him," He answered.

Everyone was silent for a long period of time and then Maglor looked up and said, "Wait! If he is going after elves who were reincarnated what about-"

Alton cut him off and said, "Relax. We have someone keeping their eyes on things and speaking with Rowan about it. But we do not think he will try at him since from the little information we do have it seems that he was planted to be rescued. Why we do not know but that's what it seems to us."

"So. This group's goal is trying to stop this Valar and protect elves who may be harmed?" Aegnor asked.

"Yep," Said Amrod.

"Also, they take care of other strange things from our world that ends up here," Amras said.

"Kinda like a lot of fantasy books," Amrod said.


"But I more so spies then like the characters in those books." His brother said.

"Okay. A shadowhunting James Bond." Amrod said.

Maglor looked at the twins and then at Alton who said, "To help them adjust to the modern world they watched moves and read books. Maybe too many."

"Please don't tell they act like Bond on missions," Maglor said but his question was answered when the twins grinned. Maglor sighed and shook his head.

"What is shadowhunting and James Bond?" Aegnor asked. The twins then went into a whole explanation to Aegnor saying how he has to read the books and watch the movies.

Alton rubbed his head as they both started to get hyper and Maglor just chuckled. It seemed his brothers had not changed. He then looked at Alton and said, "What information do you have on the elves who have been reincarnated?"

"They appear in bodies of water. Anything from rivers to swimming pools. Luckily we figure they appear close to shore if they are in a river, ocean, or lake. We think this is because when elves woke up they woke up by a river. The other thing we know is that they all remember moments before dying and then nothing." He said.

"There was another elf who was reincarnated. Glorfindel, it was back in middle earth in a placed called Rivendell. He died and came back. He said he remembered the Halls of Mandos." Maglor said.

"I see, thank you for that information. I will pass it on to the proper people." Alton said. "I have a question now for both of you. Now that you know all this information what do you want to do with it?"

Aegnor and Maglor looked at each other then back at Alton. "You are free to take it and leave or you can join and help put a stop to this Valar." He said.

"How can we stop him?" Aegnor asked. "He's a Valar-" Yet before he could continue Maglor said, "We just learned that everything we know is a lie. About the world, elves, and men. I think we can assume that there is a way to beat or even kill a Valar."

"That's right," Alton said with a nod. "Now, what do you two want to do?"

"I want to join," Maglor said rather quickly. "I want to find out what happened to my brother and well if there is any chance that anyone else from my family can come back. I want to help them and make sure this time I keep them safe."

"Noble reason," Alton said and looked at Aegnor. "What about you?"

"I will join as well. I am still learning about the modern world and from what you said that it seems he will destroy it to get his revenge." Said Aegnor.

Alton nodded and stood up, "Welcome aboard then. I think the twins here can fill you in on smaller details but I do want to ask you if you want to stay in the home you have now or you can come to my estate. I live in England in a manner I have had for quite some time. The twins do stay with me since they have woken up just 4 months ago and I have been getting them up to speed on the modern world and teaching them what they need to know to work for us."

"Well if I am working for you guys then I do not think I need to stay here and work with the FBI," Maglor said.

"Right and in all honesty, you do not need anything to join us. You have the skills in all manners," Alton said to Maglor.

"What do you mean?" Maglor asked. He switched to Latin and said, 'To work for us you need to know about history and culture as well as language. You know all those things and lived through a lot of the history that is needed and for what you have not seen you have most certainly learned. These three do not know anything about history, culture, or language besides what they have heard up to this point.'

'I understand,' Maglor replied in Latin as well.

'Also. Your fighting and battle tactics are up to modern times.' Alton added. Maglor just nodded and said, 'Right. So if we come with you'll be teaching the twins and Aegnor then.'

'Right,' Alton said.

"HEY!" Amrod said. "Speak in something we all know,"

"Well, technically English came from many words in Latin so we were," Maglor said in English. Alton chuckled and turned to Aegnor and explained in short what he told Maglor.

"So. Even if you have to learn all that you will join?" He asked.

"I will," Aegnor said.

"Very good," He said.

"I guess we should start packing," Maglor said with a sigh.

"Yes," Alton said. "If you want we can just head to England tomorrow and we can have someone take care of  everything."

"Really?" Asked Maglor.

"That's right you can go back tonight and get a bag of things you need and we can leave when you are ready. We can have someone take care of all your things and selling your house." Alton said.

"Thank you very much but there are just a few things that I really want to keep other than that I do not mind everything being sold in the house," Maglor said.

Alton nodded and said, "Alright. Take your time and get your things together. We can leave whenever you're ready."

"Right. Aegnor...can you stay here? I just want to get somethings and say goodbye to someone then I am ready to go." Maglor said.

"That quickly?" Aegnor asked.

"Yeah. I can get your stuff and it won't take me long to get the things I need." He replied.

"Alright," Maglor said.

"My driver can take you home and talk to him and he'll take care of everything. I'll talk to the FBI and take care of things on that end." Alton said. Maglor nodded and left the hotel room.

"What was that about?" Aegnor asked.

The twins shrug but Alton said, "For immortals living in a world like this they learn to move quickly when they need to go no matter what it is. They learn to keep know what to keep and grab it and go. Maybe stop somewhere and say a quick goodbye but nothing more."

Maglor walked into his house and sighed. He walked in and stopped and looked to the couch and saw Xander sitting there.

"Hey," Xander said. "You talked to Alton I see."

"Yeah," Maglor said.

"Good. He's a good man and with whatever happens he'll help you out," Xander said. "I can see your not mad at me."

Maglor shrugged and said, "I have been alive for too long to get mad about things like this. You had your reasons and your reasons for leaving that life. Yet, I want to ask why did you leave? Ever since I have known you have always been one who wants to help people."

Xander sighed and a somber look came to his face. "I left since I lost something very dear to me and I almost lost myself in that life. I left centries ago to find some sense of peace...I got most of it but I will help out Alton, my sister, and one other person from that life I had. Other than that it's in the past and it will take a lot to get me back in that life." He said.

"You have a sister!?" Maglor asked. "How did I not know this?"

Xander gave him a bit of a smirk and said, "I am good at keeping myself mysterious."

"That you are. I never saw this side of you," Maglor said.

"Not many people have," He said as he stood up. "I came to say goodbye and wish you luck."

Maglor gave him a look and said, "In all truth, I thought you'll be a thorn in my side for all eternity. Yet, this sounds permanent."

"Oh. I will be that I can promise you but you'll just be seeing me a bit less." He replied. He started to walk to the door but stopped when he heard Maglor said, "Wait when Aegnor was attacked...did you realize who it was?"

"I did. I may be out of that life but I will not abound my friends to death. Well see you around," He said and he walked out the door and he saw him turn and vanish down the street. Maglor gave a soft sigh and headed upstairs and it took him a few hours together with his things and get Silmaril ready. Alton's driver helped him load everything he needed into the car and Maglor said, "I have one more stop but I want to walk there."

The driver nodded and headed off. Maglor just took a breath and started to walk down the street. He came to a house and knocked on the door of a house. Yet, when the door swung open as he walked inside. The house was dark as he looked around. He stopped when he heard the click of a gun behind him.

"She's gone. A shame you came here when you did," A voice said behind him.

"Who may you be?" Maglor asked.

"No one of importance but you do know who I work for, I have been assigned to watch you and I know you have talked with Alton." They said. "Which now makes you disposable."

Maglor quickly turned and grabbed the gun away from them and brought his foot up and kicked the person who stood behind them. A shot rang out and grazed Maglor's hand and the gun dropped to the floor. The person kicked it away and pointed it at Maglor's head and said, "Don't try. I am far better then you are."

Maglor just raised his hands and looked them dead in the eye. "I don't think so," Maglor said. He then moved quickly and knocked the gun away from them. Once there was no weapon Maglor dodged the few punches they through but did get one right to the gut which sent him to one knee but he quickly regained himself and swiped his leg across the floor. The guy fell and Maglor grabbed a knife he always kept on him and placed it against the man's throat.

"I think I have some questions for you," He said.

"You don't," A new voice said and he heard another click.

That man below him laughed and said, "You fool? Do you think we work alone? We never do,"

"Neither does he," Someone said from the door there were two muffled shots and them person who stood behind Maglor fell over one below him stopped moving. Maglor looked up and saw Xander standing there.

"Xander? What are you doing here?" He asked standing up.

"I noticed that the one behind you was waiting in the shadows. So, I followed them...funny thing about trying to stay out of something. It often drags you back in." Xander said. "Also. Don't worry she is not dead. She happens to be on vacation with some friends."

Maglor looked at him and laughed a bit. "I am not even going to ask how you know."

"Yep and I guess I should give Alton a call," Xander said.

"I can. I do have his number and you said you wanted out. Thank you for saving my life but the way you sounded when you said out...it sounded like you meant it." Maglor said.

Xander looked at him and shook his head. "No...I can. Plus I want to talk to him about somethings. I am still out but I can take care of this." 

A/n: In the last chapter I said how Amrod and Amras took an elfie (selfie) with Aegnor. Here it is...
