#celegorm puts aredhel on huan's back and carries baby maeglin himself

[eleneressea]

thinking about Aredhel—she goes to Celegorm and Curufin's lands and stays there for a while waiting for them to come back, then gets bored and wanders off and eventually comes to Nan Elmoth (and we all know how that goes) but I was thinking: what if Celegorm went after her? He tracks her to Nan Elmoth eventually, and…

Eöl's sorceries are powerful, but Celegorm has Huan with him and is blessed by Oromë, so I don't think he gets nearly as turned around as Aredhel was. He finds her and Eöl, murders Eöl and burns down the forest behind him rescues her from his enchantments, and sends a letter to Maedhros going "found Aredhel, might have caused a diplomatic incident, also I may have a son now."

#celegorm #aredhel #the fire was mostly an accident but only mostly #celegorm puts aredhel on huan's back and carries baby maeglin himself #celegorm is the third of seven he knows how to carry small children #and maeglin is way less squirmy than ambarussa were #maedhros fully believes the diplomatic incident is eloping with aredhel until he learns the rest #maedhros the tired: why couldn't you have just eloped. that would have been easier
