Maedhros looked up as he heard a knock on the door. He frowned a bit and slowly stood up. He opened the door and blinked, "Amrod. Amras. What are you two doing here?" He asked.

"Coming to visit you," Said Amrod.

"Since you would rather live like a hermit then be with your family we have to come to you." Added Amras.

"I am not really up for company right now," Maedhros said about to close the door but both twins stopped it.

"Don't you think about," Amrod said.

"We have not a chance to really see or talk with you. We will come or else your house will not be having a door." Amras threatened.

Maedhros sighed and let the twins in. They walked in and looked around the small home that Maedhros had. They exchanged a look but walked in. "We would ask how you are doing but judging from how things look you are still not doing great," Amras said.

"I am fine. The both of you, but I am sure you could understand I would like sometimes. After all, I was let out of the halls of Mandos just a few years ago. I'm still adjusting." He replied. The twins looked at each other and back at him. They clearly did not believe a word he said.

"Never mind," Maedhros said holding back his groan. "How are you two?" He asked.

"We are fine," They are said together as they followed him to the living room. "We have been keeping ourselves busy," Amras said.

"Picking up and trying different hobbies," Amrod added.

"Talking to some of the new elves that come here," Amras said.

"Giving them tours," Amras said.

"You know. Attempting to be normal," They finished together.

"Okay! I give. What do you two want?" He asked having enough of the twins being them. Yet it was meaningful that they cared to do this.

"Come visit us and Mamil," Amras said.

"Please, Caranthir is decided to live back at home. Even Curufin is visiting with Celebrimbor for a few days." Amrod said.

"And Celegorm is coming to visit with Lord Orome," Amras added after his twin finished speaking. 

"Also, if you do not agree to come, Caranthir gave us a gag, blindfold, and some chloroform," Amrod then said crossing his arms. 

"Alright. I will come, you do not have to kidnap me," Maedhros said holding up his hands. Both twins grinned and said, "Good. Let's go." 

"Now?" Maedhros asked looking at them. 

"Yes, do not worry about clothes you have some old stuff back at the house. Now come on," Amras said as he walked backward out of the door. Maedhros just shook his head and laughed lightly. He stood up and grabbed his cloak and stepped outside. It was good to see that those two were still themselves. 

~~~

Maedhros walked in with the twins and they both yelled in a loud voice, "Mamil! Kurvo! Moryo! We got him! 

"You do not have to shout," Groaned Caranthir as he walked out of the living room holding a book. 

"Ah. The lumbe approaches." Amras said with a grin. 

"Just shut up," Caranthir snapped.

"What. It is true," Amrod replied. Caranthir glared at them but just turned away and looked to Maedhros. He was quiet for a few moments as he looked at him. He then just said, "It's good to have you home, Nelyo." 

He then stalked back into the living room as the twins exchanged a look. They then looked up and waved to Nerdanel as she walked over. "We told you we could get him, Mamil." Amras said a bit proudly. 

"I did not doubt you two," She said as she laughed a bit. She then looked at Maedhros and put her hand on his arm. "Welcome home, Nelyafinwe." She said. 

Maedhros smiled and dipped his head. "Thank you, Mamil....it is good to be home." 

"Curufinwe is in the forge with Celebrimbor," Nerdanel said. "They should be out before dinner. Hopefully." 

Maedhros had to laugh a bit as he said, "Knowing him, they most likely will come out about midnight in search of food." 

"That sounds about right," Amras confirmed with a nod. Their mother laughed lightly and led them further into the house. 

"Turcafinwe should be here soon," Nerdanel said looking back at Maedhros as he followed her into the kitchen. "Are you hungry after your trip?" She asked.

"Not really. I just could use some water then I think I should rest a bit." He replied. She nodded and got him the water. He sat down and watched as the twins both grabbed an apple and walked out. He briefly wondered if they were the same person just split in two, he just shook his head and ignored the strange thought. 

After he finished the glass of water he stood up and headed upstairs. Yet, as he got close to them he heard a loud voice. He instantly knew it was Celegorm, he let out a breath and headed back down. He had to say hello to his brother. 

When he got to the main floor he saw Celegorm hanging up his jacket and he instantly noted his hair was a mess. It looks like he rode here fast and he must have ridden through a tree since he had a few leafs stuck in it. He looked up and waved to Maedhros. "So. You are here too." He said. 

"I am," He said as he walked over. 

"I thought Lord Orome was coming with you," Said Nerdanel. 

"Oh. Right, he couldn't come. He was called elsewhere." He replied running a hand through his hair trying to get it to calm down. 

"Turko. What happened to your cheek?" Nerdanel asked looking at the bandage that covered his cheek. Celegorm looked down slightly and lightly touched it. "Oh. It's nothing." He said. "Just a miss fire with my bow." He explained quickly. 

"So. When's dinner?" He asked. 

"Not for another few hours," She replied. 

He was about to reply when a small pup came around his legs and looked up Nerdanel and let out small yip. Nerdanel smiled as Celegorm scooped the small animal up. 

"Who is this?" She asked. 

"This is Anarore," Celegorm said as he let the small pup move up his arm and sit on his shoulder. She laughed and let  Anarore sniff her hand before she pet it behind the ears. 

"Oh. Turko, he's a darling." She said. 

Celegorm smiled and said, "He is." 

The animal let out another bark and Celegorm laughed a bit. He looked at his mother and said, "He likes you." He then looked to Maedhros who was heading back upstairs. "He also claims you are tall." 

"He's very observant," Came Caranthir's sarcastic reply from the living room. Maedhros just headed upstairs as he heard light arguing and a few other barks. 

~~~

Dinner soon began and everything was running smoothly before a knock sounded at the door. A few moments later Lady Este of the Valar walked in. "Pardon the intrusion but I must speak with all of you." She said with a slightly worried look on her face. 

"Is something wrong?" Asked Nerdanel sounding concerned. 

"Perhaps," She replied. "I was speaking with Lord Manwe, and some of the other Valar and we are concerned about your son, Prince Kanafinwe." 

"Is he okay?" Asked Maedhros quickly standing up. 

"We are not sure. Namo claims he feels his soul growing weaker and it has been many years since he has been forgiven and has not yet returned." She said. She then thought for a moment and looked at Celegorm for a moment before she said, "and we have caused your family enough hardship for which we are deeply sorry. We do not want to fail another descendant of Finwe. So we ask if one of you can go and bring him back. He deserves and needs a chance to heal." 

Everyone at the table was a bit suprised at her words but after a moment Maedhros said, "I will go. I can bring him home, after all, I am the closest to him."  

"Thank you, Prince Nelyafinwe," She said nodding to him. "You may bring another on this journey to help you." 

"Thank you, Lady Este. I have a question though." He said. 

"Yes?" She asked. 

"How much danger is my brother in? I mean if we do not find him and bring him here." He asked. 

She was quiet for a few moments and said, "We do not know but we fear he will fall into a darkness that even we will not be able to reach him. Yet, do not fear we do not think that will happen for another long set of years." 

Nerdanel put a hand over her mouth and looked down and the brothers tensed as she said this. She gave a nod at them and looked at Maedhros and said, "I do wish you the best of luck to find him and please, if you need anything to help on this trip all you need do is ask." With that, she left knowing that it was best to leave them with each other and her presence will do nothing. 

Everyone at the table was silent, the twins just moved closet to each other. Caranthir was the first one to look up and said, "Bring Fingon." 

"What?" Maedhros asked as he looked at him. 

"Bring Fingon. He'll be the best one to help you," He replied his voice unnaturally soft. "He knows you and can keep you together. If he does that you will have an easier chance to find Kano and bring him home." 

"But-" He started but Caranthir cut him off and said, "You need to bring your friend. I do not think any of us can really help you fully. Besides we maybe brother and even though we will be ready to rip someone in two for hurting one of us...all's we want is Kano home and after everything that has happened to us none of us are in the greatest of us headspaces to help. I know you aren't either but you are the only one who can convince that stubborn ****** to come home. So get Fingon and bring him home." 

Everyone just stared at Caranthir as he became quiet once again. Maedhros walked over and hugged Caranthir and suprsingly he took it. When Maedhros stood up he put on a strong face and said, "I have to get a few things together. Celegorm, do you think you and ride to Fingon and tell him what's going on. You will need to go fast." 

Celegorm stood up and said, "I am already there,"

Maedhros then turned to Curufin and said, "I'll need a sword...do you think you and Celebrimbor can handle that." 

"Of course," Curufin said as he looked at his son who gave a quiet nod. Maedhros then walked over to Nerdanl and kneeled by her side. "Caure alaie Mamil. Ni mende alaie quel." He said to her. 

She looked at him and said, "I know. Yet, please be careful." 

"I will and I will bring him home. Please do not worry." He said. 

"Nelyo. I am a mother it is my jog but I do trust you." She said. Maedhors nodded and stood up and hurried up the stairs to pack. 

~~~

Maedhros finished the story and sat back. He looked at Elrond who sat there quietly, he was looking down and a clear look of worry was on his face. Maedhros waited a moment before he said, "Elrond. If you know anything about where Kano is I need to know." 

"Of course...it is just that the last time I saw Atar is when Arwen was born. I was able to get him to spend the night but the next day he was gone." Elrond said. "Yet, there are a few places I can think of where he may be staying." 

"Thank you," Maedhros said. 

"So you should be leaving very soon," Aragorn said looking at Fingon and Maedhros. 

"Yes. We will stay her for a few days and then we will be going to find him," Maedhros replied. 

Arwen looked at her husband and then at Maedhros and asked, "Is there anything you will need to help you? Perhaps we can have some soldiers help look for him." 

"I am sorry but there is nothing I can think of," Maedhros said. "I do not think to have soldiers or anyone from Gondor looking for him will help." 

"Of course but if you need anything to not hesitate to ask," Aragorn said. "It will be an honor to help if you request it." 

"Thank you," Maedhros said. 

"We can come with two," Elladan said looking at Maedhros and Fingon.

"I do not think that will be needed," Fingon said.

"We can help you through," Elrohir said quickly. "We have traveled all around middle earth and know it like the back of our hand. You two do not know it at all considering the fact you two have been in Valinor for ages. The land changes, you two do not know it and there is only so much a map can help you with." 

"He is right. Let us come with and help you," Elladan said. 

"Right we-" Elrohir began but Maedhros put his hand over his mouth and hung his head. "Alright. You two can come. I do not have the strength to argue with twins or want a repeat of being followed by a pair of twins." He said adding the last part while looking at Elrond who suspiciously looked away a bit and who looked a bit embarrassed. 

"What do you mean about being followed?" Elladan asked as Maedhros removed his hand and sat back. 

"Your father and his brother once followed me and Maglor while we went on a hunting trip," Maedhros said.

"It was Elros's idea," Elrond pointed out. 

"An idea you strongly agreed with," Maedhros said. 

"We did say we were sorry," Elrond said. 

"I was not mad," Maedhros said. "Just mildly annoyed." 

"Let's leave this topic," Elrond said looking at his boys who clearly wanted to know and Arwen who was laughing into her hand lightly. 

"Of course," Maedhros said. "Now, if I show you a map can you show where you believe Maglor to be?" 

"Of course," Elrond said quickly. Maedhros nodded and stood up getting a map and bringing it to Elrond. As Elrond did this with Maedhros Fingon turned and said, "I do apologize for the quick greetings." 

"No. It is understandable," Aragorn said. 

"We can have a proper greeting and hopefully a lighter discussion over dinner," Arwen said. 

"That would be very good," Fingon said with a nod.
