Silmarillion: A Distant Future

Chapter Ten

Maglor was packing things up in a personal bag and then a suitcase. Even after all these many long years he still had the tendency to make sure when he packed everything was in order. It drove Celegorm insane when he did it. Celegorm would throw anything he thought he may need into a bag and then just go. However, at times he went on camping trips or hunting trips with nothing but some weapons. He gave a soft sigh as he felt a twinge of pain for his brother. As much as they drove each other crazy he still missed them now with Aegnor being back. He wondered if maybe...just somehow...in someway. Maybe his brothers could come back but he knew better than to get his hopes up light that.

"Alright. I am packed," Aegnor said breaking Maglor from his thoughts.

"Good. I am almost ready," Maglor replied.

"You alright?" Asked Aegnor.

"Not really. Yet, do not worry about it. I'll be fine." Said Maglor. Aegnor nodded and left the room leaving Maglor to finish packing. As he finished up he went through the things in his head that he did to prepare for the trip. He dropped off Silmaril at some he knew to watch her. Somehow he got off work for the next few weeks again. He went through a few more small things and then grabbed his bags and turned off the light.

"Alright. Let's go. Xander will be meeting us by the gate." Maglor said as he headed downstairs with Aegnor. Who was silent before asking what did he mean by the word 'gate'. Maglor gave an inward sigh as he explained more of what a plane and an airport were like.

A few hours later they were on the plane and seated. Xander was relaxed in his seat and chuckled a little bit seeing how Maglor was. Aegnor just looked a bit excited to be on a plane, he was just happy to see his 'old dear friend again'. Also, he loved flying first class and flew it as much as he could when he traveled. A bit into the flight Xander looked up at Maglor as he came over. "Okay. Who is this friend of yours?" Asked Maglor.

"Just a good friend. Why?" He asked looking up.

"Well, they must be a very good friend if they are both letting you buy three first-class tickets and then use their home." Said Maglor. "I also want to know how much you trust them."

"You need to stop worrying. They are very close and I trust them with my life and I have known them since I lived in the woodland realm." Xander replied.

"So they are an elf?" Maglor asked.

"Yes," Xander replied. Maglor just nodded and went back to his seat. He looked over at Aegnor who seemed to be enjoying this flight very much. He was doing a great job in hiding his confusion at somethings. Maglor just let out a very long breath, he just needed to stop and enjoy the flight. After all, it was an all paid first class flight, might as well as enjoy it. When they landed Maglor had to admit that was one of the best flights he had ever been on. They got off the plane and got their luggage, Maglor who in all honestly wasn't the biggest fan of traveling let Xander take care of everything. All Maglor did was translate for Aegnor when going through customs. Aegnor and Maglor waited as Xander went to get their rental car.

"I am getting much more used to the modern world," Aegnor replied.

Malgor just nodded and said, "That's good,"

"Are you alright?" Aegnor asked.

"Just tired, do not worry about it." Said Maglor. Aegnor just nodded and stood up when the car came. Maglor got into the front with Xander and Aegnor took the backseat. Xander smirked and started driving to where Maglor hoped his friend lived. Maglor did not trust the small grin that was on Xander's face. He just sat back and tried not to think about it.
