(Book 2 of The Elf King trilogy)
The familiar characters and some background information,are,of course,Tolkien,and of Marvels Loki Series.The new are my own creation,a continuation of those stories.I take no credit for Tolkien's or Marvels bodies of...
Another new day with our wee ones, probably already spoilt because we just can't manage put them down!How nervous I was at first just to care for them!I refused to let anyone help but Thranduil.No wet nurse.No nanny.But I did learn alot from the elves.How to just relax and enjoy this time,most importantly of all.Where are Pampers when you need them???They could just (ahem)- materialize-but,no.Cant take that chance.Mess with the space-time continuum. One small thing could cause the butterfly effect,which is based on the assumption that the world is deeply interconnected,and that one small thing,one occurrence,can influence a much larger complex system.All over a dirty nappy?Let's not risk it.
But,for V's precious one,Tikia-Tomei,to make a appearance,Visayas insisted,they must sleep in their lovely,hand-twinned bassinet.Something about the warmth of the twins creates a bond even before she leaves her shell.The bassinet my husband painstakingly made with his own two hands.Yet,every night,they slept right between us.We just couldn't help it.I know,I know.Ive read all the books,and yes,I know of Dolderian tradition and the significance of this time for dragon and child..I just.... they're so cute!
The ears scared me a little,so long and pointy,which made my husband laugh endlessly.I couldn't recall mine ever being this way.
"Darling,they'll round out,I promise you.Oh,you are a treasure!"
"Well,as long as no one clips them.I won't have that!"
"Clips them???"he spat out in a chuckle, disbelievingly,"What barbaric custom-"
"Otoplasty,ear modification."I said,as if he should know this.
"Darling,as elves,we have a deep connection to our heritage, culture,and purpose.Our bodies are simply a vessel. We accept ourselves.We see these unique traits and qualities as integral to our identity and place in the world. Our long lives and wisdom give us a profound understanding of ourselves and our role in a larger tapestry of this world.Do you not feel it?This-self acceptance stems from our reverence for our past,our love for our kin,and our commitment to fulfilling our destiny.We would never alter ourselves."
Wow.Will I ever feel this passionately? This confident in myself?
Yes,little dove.You will.
Oops.
Out of my head,husband.
I fear I cannot,wife.I like it in here.
I had a vision of our twins,with thier dragon through the years.That old familiar feeling.The bond was definitely there.
