This story is set when the Ambarussa are the human equivalent of around 7?... What is that in elven years? 20 maybe? I am also using the Quenya names for this, so here are the translations:
Nelyo/Nelyafinwë - Maedhros
Kano/Kanafinwë - Maglor
Tyelko/Tyelkormo - Celegorm
Telvo - Amrod
Pityo - Amras
Findekano/Finno - Fingon
"Nelyo! Tell us a story!" Two red-headed twins burst through the door, almost tripping over each other in their haste. Nelyo, Kano and Tyelko sat together on Nelyo's bed, along with Huan. The three older elves were discussing something, with a piece of paper between them, while the hound drooled. Tyelko sighed and patted Huan's head absent-mindedly. Nelyo looked up from the paper.
"Yes Ambarussa?"
"Tell us a story, Nelyo!"
Nelyo stifled a sigh. "I'm sure your brother Kano would be better suited for that task. He can sing-"
"He sang for us last night." Pityo said.
"And even Tyelko told us a hunting story." Telvo added. "So tell us of the time you got in trouble with Finno."
"Which time?" Tyelko asked. "That's very vague, you know. Nelyo and Finno run off to get in trouble every other day."
"It's not like you don't." Kano retorted, stretching his legs.
"They're hunting trips!" Tyelko defended.
"That always end up with you getting stuck up a tree or something." Nelyo pointed out, as Tyelko make a mock sound of outrage. "Fine, I'll tell you a story. But not about me."
"Awwww... We wanted to hear about you!" Pityo said. Telvo elbowed him. "At least we still have a story."
Nelyo cleared his throat. "Ready? Here goes..."
In evergreen fields under a starlit sky......
---
And a single, bright star lit up the wide open sky.
Kano's fingers stilled on his harp, and Nelyo let his voice trail off into a comfortable silence. The Ambarussa snored softly, Huan cuddled up between them. Tyelko had fallen asleep, leaning against the wall. Kano snuffed out the candle and said a soft goodbye to Nelyo, who watched the red-headed twins sleeping peacefully. He smiled.
