CHAPTER 1

Dinendal sat alone in his talan. Once again, he pushed Erestor away. He had been in Erestor's arms, ready to tell him of his feelings for him, knowing Erestor would not hurt him. Then a past memory had touched his mind and he had pulled away from Erestor, causing Erestor to inquire what happened. Dinendal had done the unforgivable. He yelled at Erestor, telling him to leave and never come back. When Erestor had tried to hold him again, he pushed him away, nearly knocking him to the floor. After Erestor had finally left, Dinendal had sat on the divan and sobbed. Why did such an evil memory have to touch his mind as Erestor held him. What unforgivable thing had he done to receive such a memory?

XXXXXXXX

Erestor took a deep breath as he laid on the divan. Dinendal had been in his arms only a few short days ago and now they were parted. He knew why. It was the curse of a flash back. Erestor sighed. He knew all about them. They touched your mind at the most inopportune times, especially if you were harmed against your will. He looked up at the ceiling. When he had held Dinendal, he had noticed that he was cold. Dinendal was fading. Erestor would not allow that to happen by any means. Even if it took close to forever, he would save Dinendal.

Celeborn and Haldir had heard what had happened between Dinendal and Erestor from Hadereth and Andro. The husbands of Haldir's brothers had overheard it when they were on their way to visit Dinendal. Celeborn knew that they had also told Elrond and Glorfindel and he also knew they were worried for Erestor. Celeborn looked at his husband, who was looking out the window with a sorrowful look. He knew his husband worried about Dinendal.

" Celeborn nin?"

Celeborn stood beside him.

" Yes meleth?"

Haldir still looked out the window.

" Do you think Dinendal is fading?"

Celeborn rested his hand on his beloved's shoulder.

" I do believe he is, but I know that Erestor will not let him leave for Mandos Halls."

Haldir turned to look at Celeborn.

" What do you mean?"

Celeborn smiled.

" Erestor loves him."

Haldir's worried demeanor changed slightly. He knew the two had fought, but that was the extent of what he knew. Haldir leaned against Celeborn. How would they keep Dinendal from fading if the one elf that could help him was the one Dinendal had fought with?
