Chapter Five

Curufin walks outside and groans in frustration, he sits down by the stream grumbling. "He thought a lot about this choice," Said Narndir walking over.

"What do you know?" Curufin retorted. Just angry, upset, and confused. He did not understand his brother's choice and he didn't agree with it. The Silmarils where precious, they belonged to them.

"A lot more than what people give me credit for," Narndir replied simply as he knelt down beside Curufin. "How is your ankle?"

"Better," He replied.

"Good," Narndir said with a smile.

"Thank you," Curufin said after a long pause.

"For what?" Narndir asked.

"Healing Amrod" He replied.

"Not a problem," Narndir said. "Look. It took Amrod a long time to make his choice, he put himself through a lot of pain to get there. You do not have to like it or agree with it. However, as his brother, the least you can do is accept it."

"Accept the fact he wants to break an oath he swore? An oath about our birthrights! About-" Yet he was cut off as Narndir held up a hand. "I am just saying that in your mind find peace with the fact he is going to do this. Since he's stubborn, there will be no talking him out of it."

"Being stubborn runs in the family," Curufin said.

"Yeah, I know. I was friends with Finwe before he chose to sail to Valinor." Narndir replied.

"Wait. You knew my grandfather?" He asked.

"I did," Narndir said as he cleaned out a bowl. "He was stubborn, a little foolish at times, but one of the smartest and most noble elves I have ever met."

"Foolish?" Curufin asked.

"Yes. He once bet me he could jump over a rose bush....he couldn't," Narndir said standing up. Curufin smirked a bit and said, "Thank you again. For taking care of Amrod."


"Not a problem," He replied with a gentle smile. "Now why don't you head back inside. I think you'll want to meet the other two who have helped your brother."

Curufin didn't really reply at that. He just walked back into the tent, Narndir just heads back to his own tent. When Curufin came back into the tent two other elves were in there talking with the group.

"Oh. Curufin," Amrod said looking up. "I would like you to meet Lithel and her brother Amathael."

"Hello," Curufin nodded at the two. He then sat down as the greeting between everyone went on.

"I figure you'll want more time to rest before you do anything. Yet, would you like one of us to head home and tell the others?" Offered Celegorm.

"Are you sure?" Amrod asked. "I mean I have missed all of but-"

"It'll be fine," Amras said reassuring his twin. "Everything will be fine. The others will want to see you again."


Amrod just nodded and Celegorm smiled and said, "I can head back and tell them if you want me to."

"Thank you Celegorm," Said Amrod with a smile.

"Of course," Celegorm said and hugged him again. He then was soon hugged by Amras as well. Then the others hugged him tightly.

"Please...let me breathe," He gasped out. They let go but Amras still hugged him still. Amrod smiled and hugged his twin as Celegorm grabbed his bag and said, "Alright. I'll be back later with the others."

They nodded and Celegorm went off. The other settle down to listen to what Amrod has been up to besides healing over this time.
