Starlight (Vikings/The Hobbit crossover) AU

First day

-Unedited-

Gilthoniel POV

              Trust me when I say that what happened tonight was something that I've done before. Kissing, Hvitserk so close to his pink lips was the most daring thing I've done in my life. If, Ada (father) were here he would be furious. But, he wasn't and besides the fact when it came to, the Sons of Ragnar I felt something for the first time in 1931 years. It was indescribable what I felt. But, when I looked at each one of them in the eyes there was something inside their souls that connected to mine. I didn't know if, it was because of their fae (energy) or something I've only dreamed of happening. One of them was my soulmate. A person that was made by, the Valar just for me. My other half. However, knowing which one was mine I'd have to know to wait until, I knew indefinitely.

              Perhaps, in the coming weeks that I'd grow to know which one I had a stronger connection to. Starting tomorrow morning everything will be put into motion of who was my mate and my duties as counselor. Both happenings in my life that I looked forward to, but it was also something to kept secret. Especially, now because as part of my agreement with my father was to contact each other telepathically. A gift that most elves that were blessed to have. I sat as always by the window that had the clearest view of the night sky. Where I could see the stars as the shone brightly above, Kattegat. It was if, I was home again just by looking at them. I closed my eyes with the image of Ada in my mind with his long silvery blonde hair and his cold eyes. Even the scars underneath the enchantment spell that he always had to hide them. Scars that he had received in his princely years when Legolas and I were children. They were burn marks from dragons that he had bravely yet, foolishly fought against. I imagined everything about my father until, I could feel a connection to his fae to mine.

"Ada? It is me, Gilthoniel", I spoke softly in my mind.
"Yes, I know my child. I'm here. How is living Kattegat, iell nín(my daughter)?", he asked.
"Things are going well, Ada. Queen Aslaug and her sons, have shown me the utter most hospitality. She even went as far as preparing a feast in my honor. I found it quite fascinating, Ada yet, vulgar as you would expect of mortals", I replied.
"It sounds like you enjoyed yourself, Starlight*." I could feel the warmth engulf my heart as he called me, Starlight. A nickname that he used to call me when I was just a child.
"I did indeed. Aslaug's sons have invited me at sunrise to train with them. I think it would be interesting to see how Vikings fight as opposed to ours. I've heard so much of their ferocity in battle. Perhaps, it would be useful in the future", I said.
"We'll see, iell nin. Remember these are mortals they are not like us. They are not in control of their anger as we are. They follow their hearts before, listening to what is in their minds. I advise you to be cautious of them", he warned. I could feel the caution his voice as he spoke his words of wisdom.
"But, I have lived among the mortal longer than, you have father"
"You indeed have lived among them longer than I have, My daughter. But, my point still stands, Starlight mortals no matter where they are from are the same. Remember who and what you are, iell nin. You may be living with them, but you are not like them. You are a daughter and most importantly a princess of the Woodland Realm. I beg of you not fall into their lives so recklessly. Remember what you promised to me before, you left", he said in a pleading tone. A tone that I haven't heard since, the day I was conceived. Father, as long as I've known him has always kept a regal yet, cold appearance. Compared to what he was sounding like now was surprising at first. But, as I silently thought about his change in behavior my heart feels warm. Perhaps, he is growing to be more like a father than, a king now that I'm not coming home for a small part of time. I smiled to myself just thinking about it.
"I'll try my best to keep a good distance between and them, Ada. And I'll make sure of it keep my promise to you", I said.
"I'm holding to your word, my Starlight. Remember that I love you and if, you are hurt anyway by these... Vikings I'll stop at nothing to bring them to ruin. Understood?" he said in a fatherly sort of way.
"I understand, Ada. I love you too", I replied.
In my mind or perhaps, in my heart I could feel as if, father was smiling right now.
" Losto vae (Sleep well), My Starlight. Oltho vae ne fuin hen ( May you dream well tonight). Sweet dreams, my sweet daughter", He said lovingly.
"You as well. Garo aur fuin vaer, Ada (Have a good night, father)", I said back to him with love as well.
