Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk

Home of a curious trouble making leopard cub. Rochallor mount of Fingolfin. A baby balrog. And random OCs that I create. That will most likely be animals.

[boundbyeruslight]

After much debate and encouragement I decided to post a tsle of the little Balrog in Valinor. Its a bit long so apologies I will put it under a cut so not annoying hopefully.

Balrog Adventures: Closets are not Caves

Snuffling the baby balrog eased its nose out of the robe pocket. It liked this safe pocket. Good place when bad dreams chase it. Yawning it began to crawl slowly from safe Nolo's soft shed skin ready for morning food. Pausing as its eyes began to glow and adjust to the light it chirped. 

This was not the room it had been in before its nap. Lightly glowing eyes looked about slowly. It was very dark. Like the caves it used to live in. And smelled of many strange things. Another angry rumble went through its tummy. Food time. Their Nolo would have food. Or the Leaf Keeper. Food. Little claws clicked quietly on the slippy surface of the floor as it left the soft comfort of Fingolfin's robe.

Spreading its legs panic set in as its claws slid and found little to grip. No shiny floor! Do not want! It churred in distress. Nolo will carry it. Nolo knows it does not like the shiny slippy floors. Another distressed chirp-click. Nolo did not come. Nor did the Leaf Keeper. Feelings of familiar abandonment crept into already overwhelmed thoughts. 

Would need to find own food. A strange feeling crept up into it's chest. It missed Nolo. Wanted it's warm safe elf to come back. But. They never come back. Sad but determined to survive it pushed it's back legs so it moved slowly forward. Shiny floor bad! 

A light shone just barely against the shiny floor. Making its way shakily to it, the little Balrog poked its nose to the door crack. So many smells came. Some smells were good. Familiar foods. Some stinky. Scrabbling it's claws trying to get leverage it squished itself down. Unable to get under the door it lay down and chirped sadly. Hungry. 

The sound of soft steps brought curious sniffs and some hope. The stinky scent of two leg foot coverings found its nose. Sadness settled again on it's chest. No Nolo. Or Leaf Keeper. Not Soft Nelyo. Or Shiny Finno. 

The sound of a door opening brought its head from the door crack to the door knob. Eyes squinted and it made a soft angry hiss as light flooded into the strange cave it was in. 

"Cannot believe you made us so late Tyelko!"

"How was I to know the birthing would take so long?! And you were the one who wished to see it Elrohir. You cannot blame me for your choices."

It did not know these beings. Hunching it's back it stayed quiet yet ready to attack. It had learned in the Dark Hot Stones not all elves liked its kind. Nolo was not here to protect it. It would burn and bite! Staying still and quiet it waited for them to move away. Luckily leaving the door open. 

Shakily the baby balrog crawled forward. Nose sniffing it sneezed suddenly. It's little legs sliding out from under it as it's claws tried to find a grip. Squeaking in fear it tried to scramble to it's feet. It would be easy to eat! As it pushed itself across the floor it's claws found purchase on a hall rug. Pleased it pulled itself onto the overly colorful piece. 

Bright colors in the floor it did not like. Hurt eyes. But it kept it safer and able to fight. Switching its eyes from the night glow it blinked. This was not Safe Nolo nest. Waiting for many moments it slowly began to walk down the color floor. Pausing it sniffed. Chirped softly. Nolo smell! Taking a breath it chirped louder. Nolo did not come. Safe Nolo always came when it cried. 

Stopping it squished its body into a ball. Tail curling about itself. Safe Nolo promised it would be safe. Not leave it alone. Not let it get eaten. Why did Nolo not come? Chirping again. Softly. It churred in distress. Hungry. Getting very cold. The quiet footsteps behind it surprised it in its distress. 

"Hullo little one. How have you come to be here?" This elf was not one of it's clutch! Hissing it uncurled and skittered back from this strange elf. "Easy now I will not harm you. I will take you back to the gardens. Surely you have found your way from the cool waters there." Water! This elf was bad! Water bad! Did not want! 

Hissing again it showed its sharp teeth. Would bite! No water no! Moving backwards one of its back claws got stuck in the webbing of the carpet. Pulling it frantically it chirped and clicked in distress. It would drown. And be eaten. By old stinky elf! 

"Oh? You are caught. Let me aid you little one I will not harm you." Hands! Big hands that smoosh! And throw! Teeth snapped. Another hiss. Undeterred the elf persisted. Hunching its back it forced its spine scales to rise. Little sparks spit and crackled from grooves in the scales as they moved against each other. Working really hard it produced the slime on its back that would catch the sparks. A very small blue flame sprung to life. 

The elf screamed. A horrified, tormented scream it was used to. Good. Scared. Will burn! And bite! Stuck to the rug the baby was tiring quickly. Cold. Hungry. Losing valuable nutrients to burn its skin slime it waited. It could still bite even tired. 

Footsteps came down the hall. More mean elves. Curling into a little flame ball it chirped sadly. Wanted safe Nolo. And food. Not to be squished. Elves began to talk. None approached. The little balrog just stayed there unsure of its next move. 

"Little one? Aye, little one-how did you get here?" Its head perked and it turned so its eye tilted to the voice. It's Safe Nolo stood tall next to old stinky elves. Unsure why Nolo would abandon it only to return it stayed defensive. Maybe Nolo had decided to eat it after all. Or share it with these clutch mates to gain more strength. And favor. 

"Lord Nolofinwë. This being belongs to you?"

Fingolfin knelt upon the carpet, his legs folded in a lotus shape. "No. This being belongs to itself. I have brought it into my family. And sworn to keep it safe."Little one? All is well. You need not defend against these beings. I will allow no harm upon you." Stretching forward he set his hand open and flat on the floor. "You must be hungry. And quite cold my little one. Come. That must be tiring to maintain. I will warm you and find your favorite foods."

The gentle cadence of Nolo's words eased the fierce survival instincts fostered in Fire Rock Caves. This was not the Bad place. Not the old nest. Slowing it's flames it still hissed softly as the gathered beings moved. Chirping angrily at it's Nolo it scolded him. 

Tyelko laughed quietly at Fingolfin's shoulder. "You have scared it quite a bit, Uncle. It believes you left it. To be eaten and drowned? Poor little thing is scared out of it's mind." 

Taking one small step forward it churred as it's foot remained caught in the carpet. Tyelko kneeled down his hands flat with palms up on his knees. "I will not harm you small one. If you will allow it, I will free your foot and you may seek the warmth and safety of your new clutch mate."

Eyeing this new elf it smelled the air about it. This one. Smelled of dirt and plants. Not like the Leaf Keeper. And other creatures. Dirt elf. Yes. Dirt elf was good. Staying very still it allowed the warm hands to release the trap that grabbed its foot. 

Not wasting one second it rushed forward climbing up Safe Nolo's hand. Scrambling up his sleeve it made no sound. Fearful of being in the open. Around so many it did not know. Nolo moved, pulling his second soft skin into it's favorite type of nest. Sitting on his shoulder it waited and watched. Once Nolo had made a good deep warm nest it crawled down and burrowed. Safe. Warm. With Nolo. 

Tyelko smiled softly as his uncle pulled the bundle to his chest shifting his robes so it was burrowed more against his body heat."For a Balrog it is rather adorable." He looked up at a couple of the soft gasps. "Nolofinwë would allow no beast of evil intent upon this land. Do not allow prejudice to color your opinions for one who has not yet found their path." He gave Fingolfin a small nod. Stood. And returned to the council chamber. 

Fingolfin returned the elf's nod smiling gently as his small child fluffed and snuffed his tunic into the proper comfort. "I am afraid I will be late in returning to our meeting. Please proceed. I must get this one some much needed food. I will be there after it has settled more." 

Standing he made his way to the kitchen whispering soft words of comfort. Support. Love. And praise for its courage. The little Balrog listened. The cold feeling of abandonment in its chest gone. Now warmed with its love for Nolo. The voice that soothed its instincts and brought it peace and warmth washed over it like the rays of the noon sun. Now warming and food coming soon it chirped happily clicking in contentment. It loved safe Nolo. And now it liked Dirt elf to.

Snorting he reached forth and bit the side of his friends backside. Avoiding the annoyed kick aimed at his chest he pranced off a distance. Bored of demanding attention from his herd (and not getting said attention) he pinned his ears and pranced toward the opening of the field.

The Light Walkers moved about making their strange noises. His ears swiveled to and fro recognizing somw voices and not others. He was looking for one particular. Hooves clacking on stone as he walked along he whinnied high in demand. Who here has snack cubes!

He was ignored. Or tossed amused looks. Snorting derisively at being ignored he made a few grunts of discontent. Being a foal got him no respect! The warm cave would have more Light Walkers. And always snacks!

Prancing to the strange shaped rocks leading to the cave he paused. He hated these rocks. They were slippy. Flicking his tail he pinned his ears and made a great leap. And landed free of the step rocks. Shaking his mane he lifted his head proud of the achievement.

Clip clops of his hooves sounded as he entered the warm cave. Light Walkers sat in many places. Some sang. Some laughed. All had some form of snack. Ears pricked forward he gave a whinny of demand.

"Asfaloth! You are not permitted here young one."

His nose instantly dove into the folds of the Gold Lightwalker's robes. His favorite Lightwalk. This one smelled of the freshest fields. The coolest waters. Warmed him as the sun on a spring day. He liked this one best.

And it always had snack cubes.

"Aye hey stop that! No do not bite my-ack that hurt you little-"

He snorted nibbling and snuffling he knew one was in herr he could smell it.

"Glor you have created a monster feeding him those things." Laughter danced in the words. And on the voices of many present.

Ah there! A tearing sound and cry of dismay was ignored as he finally freed his treat. The strange coverings of the Lightwalker fell from his lips as he strategically chewed around the piece he tore off.

"Forgot I put that there." The Lightwalker's tone was almost affronted. But he coukd not be upset for his cleverness! He had found the hidden snack! Whinnying he bapped his nose beneath a sun warm hand. Give scratch now!

Sun Lightwalker laughed giving him a scratch. Turning immediately he backed his bum up and made a demanding paw at the ground. All scratches! Hands fell on his posterior and he tilted his head in pleasure.

"Glorfindel. You cannot keep letting him come to the Hall of Fire! He will be far to big some day."

"It is not as though I lead him here, Erestor."

He pinned his ears turning to the dark Lightwalker. He would bite this one again. He did not like his tone. Snorting he made a grunt and returned to enjoying his bum scritches.

[boundbyeruslight]

Did baby balrog get a name? Anyway I have some stones here!

Clumbing down from safe Nolo it made little curious chirps. Little clawed feet reached out to the stones. Tilting its head curiously its tsil curled about one of the stones for security. Good rock! Sniffing about it nosed the stones into a flat pile working diligently to make it level. Curlingnon top of them it looked ro safe Nolo with a contented churr. Best rocks! Bask now!

(No unfortunately no name yet but thank you for the gift the little needed new stones!)

[boundbyeruslight]

Gives some apples to Rochalor

🍎🍏🍎🍏

Rochallor whinnies his head nodding as he approaches the gift. Snacking on one quickly in case they disappear, a trick of a rather mischievious natire spirit, he grabs another. Biting it in half he sets it beside the gift giver offering to share. Good share! Love apples fsvorite snack! New favorite apple keeper!

[boundbyeruslight]

Her paws bately touched the ground as she bounded across the gsrden dirt heading for the tallest tree. Rock clutched tightly in her jaws she felt no fesr at the creature behind her.

Thief! Spotted teeth thief! It screamed as it chased the fast running spot. My rock! Dug lots for it mine! Little clawed feet kicked dirt and tiny pebals as it tried to keep up witht he spotted teeth. Will bite tail!

She paused at the base of the tree not concerned at the small fire claws. Like most around it was to slow. Flicking her tail she looked back and locked eyes with the screaming one. Turning she glanced up at the tree gauging her leap diatance.

Her ear twitched as the sound of Nolo came on swift feet. Dropping the rock she leapt into the tree diaappesring in the foliage.

Panting its clawed feet slowed to perch on top of the rock. Spotted dribble. Yuck! Taint rock! It hissed and chirped angrily up at the tree as safe Nolo appeared and crouched. How dare! Bite tail! Willl bite!

She watched safely on her perch content to not be told off again for teasing rhe small fire claws. Waiting until safe Nolo had taken the clawed acreamer off to a different place, with its rock, she leapt from the tree and sauntered off down to the fields. Perhaps the atompers were on a mood for a game of bap and chase!

[hurin-son-of-galdor]

Her golden eyes watched curiously from the safety of the inside branches. While the stinky one had slept she had snuck in wondering what this strange smell was. Teo legs like an elf but smells not like an elf. Crouching her ears turned to and fro as she listened to it move about. It walked not like the dirt elf. But like soft Nelyo. As it sat down she found courage and leaped from the inside branches to the top of a not tree. Tail flicking she looked right to the stinky two leg.

(She was in the rafters if he has them. And leapt to a book case. I imagine humans smell differently than elves to animals lol)

-boundbyeruslight

(ohh I might be reading this wrong but I love how she notices that his legs are hurt in the same way as Maedhros's)

Hurin blinked down at her. For a moment he thought he was still dreaming. He had seen creatures like her but years ago, in Gondolin. But no, he felt his pains of the waking hours clear as anything.

@boundbyeruslight

[boundbyeruslight]

Bouncing at the word she knew quite well she released a squeaky mrowl. Using her paw to open the door fully she took off down the hall. Pausing off and on to ensure wrong ears caught up. Occassionally rubbing on him she paused at the wide kitchen. Crouching she stalked up to the doot every bit the predator her kind was. Wiggling her bottom she flicked the tip of her tail. Her prey was within range. Pounce! Her paws flew as she took of to the feet of one of the cooks. Someone qould surely drop something at her surprise attack!

[hurin-son-of-galdor]

“I believe this determined little creature is the companion of one of my hosts,” Húrin says, limping up to the cooks, unable to hide a smile at the cub’s antics. His face is heavily scarred but there are still lines around his eyes from a time he smiled more often.

[boundbyeruslight]

She bapped ans nipped at the cooks feet before a scent caught her nose. Pushing her velvety soft sniffer into the air she made a soft sound. Want that! Winding about cooks feet she nuzzled and demanded food as she has from others. It did not tske long for cook to laugh and begin to speak to strange ears.

"Aye that she is. Lord Nelyafinwe'd brother rescued her from a fire in Lord Orome's wood. It seema she has taken a shine to you, m'lord."

Two legs talked to much. Bounding over to one of the round perches the two legs sat one she leapt up. Paws reaching forward she tried to get on the flat surfsce the yummy smell was coming from. But was stopped by hands!!! Wtiggling she made plantive frustrated noises.

[hurin-son-of-galdor]

“I thought perhaps Lord Turcafinwë would be involved,” Húrin says gravely though his eyes twinkle as he watches the attempts of the cub halted by hands.

[boundbyeruslight]

Being set back on the ground she flattened her ears in annoyance. Looking up at cook she hissed her displeasure as plates and silverware clanked. Ow sound. Dont like. Moving to her newest friend she rubbed her head against his leg. Looking up she pleaded with him through her eyes. Raising a paw she laid it gently on his leg. Am wasting way. Need food. Won't let eat. Need food now.

Cook laughed shaking his head and turning as his assistant finished both the cub and other creatures meals. Still on a bottle for part of her meals he offered Hurin a wooden carry device that held a bottle. Her pouch of fresh meat and veggies to be put on a plate standing up right in a slit. And flask containg a fragrant hearty soup for Hurin. "Turca is always involved in the beasts that appear with Lord Nelyafinwe it would seem. If you do not mind would you see she is fed. I have left you with some soup as well if you are hungry. If not simply leave it we will gathwr it later."

And thank you alot for those thas t read and are not mean. I know resding is twice as hard with spelling problems and I am so sorry for that. I try to go back and fix it if I remwmber but my memory is really bad. So another reqson i try to type things fast on my phone. I just wanted to thank people for patience and being kind and maybe liking things I write to help me deal with stuff.

[boundbyeruslight]

Pushing her nose forward just slightly she let her whiskers feel for danger. Her nose twitched as ahe sniffed toward him. Walking along the bookcase she bounded off to another high service closer to this two leg. Tilting her head she sniffed out again. Certain it wasnt dangerous she leaped to the ground and paused. Crouching she jumped up bapping his side so as not to add to his hurt legs. Landing gracefully she bounded away and turned flicking her tail playfully.

(You are readinf correct! She is a very clever observant girl. Endlessly curious to lol. I love your descriotion of Hurin knowing he is not dreaming and seeing them in gondolin.)

@hurin-son-of-galdor

[hurin-son-of-galdor]

“Hello there,” Húrin says with a small smile, “Are you a companion of my host? I am afraid I have no meat for you. “

(I love that!)

[boundbyeruslight]

Her ears turned toward him at the mention of meat. Letting out a soft chirping mewl she qalked toward him. Leaping onto another near by object she rubbed her head against him. Tail lashing the air in anticipation of food. Said food word so must have food. Sitting back on her hind legs she lifted one small paw and bapped lightly at his arm. Want food now. Then bap chase! She mrowled again rubbing her head as her paw cupped to pull his arm.

[hurin-son-of-galdor]

Húrin quickly realizes his mistake and rubs his temple. He reaches for his cane.

“We will go and find your keeper,” he tells her, “I will ask where to get food for you.” He walks with some difficulty towards the door

[boundbyeruslight]

Bouncong down from her perch she pranced lightly on her paws. Food! Said food! Food food! She rubbed lightly against his cane careful not to touch his ouch legs. Sniffing the stick she gave a soft aet of chirps curious on the object. Soft Nelyo had something like this. Was told not to tske it. Wont take this one. Bounding to the door she paused. Crouched. Wiggled her butt. And leapt! Pushing the open piece down she kicked off the door opening it and landed gracefully on her feet flicking her tail. She glanced at her companion pleased and waiting for praise of her skills. Soft Nelyo says to be helpful of ouch! Will get treats!

[hurin-son-of-galdor]

“Impressive,” Húrin says, smiling despite himself, “Thst is very impressive.” He wonders where she learned this and crouches down to pet her.

[boundbyeruslight]

Pleased at his obvious adoration for her talent she archs up into the pet. Her silky soft fur combing through his fingers. Moving her body so he pets her favorite spots she almost melts in joy. Forgetting what they were doing to begin with she moves back and forth enjoying the attention. Turning her head she gently nibbles at his hand grooming him with teeth and tongue returning the affection. She liked this two leg. Even if he smelled atrange. And had strange ears. She flicked an ear. She should get him.the special plants. The ones Nelyo has. After pets. Her nose twitched as the smell of someone's meal wafted into the room. Food?

[hurin-son-of-galdor]

Teo legs like an elf but smells not like an elf. Crouching her ears turned to and fro as she listened to it move about. It walked not like the dirt elf. But like soft Nelyo. As it sat down she found courage and leaped from the inside branches to the top of a not tree. Tail flicking she looked right to the stinky two leg.

(She was in the rafters if he has them. And leapt to a book case. I imagine humans smell differently than elves to animals lol)

(ohh I might be reading this wrong but I love how she notices that his legs are hurt in the same way as Maedhros's)

Hurin blinked down at her. For a moment he thought he was still dreaming. He had seen creatures like her but years ago, in Gondolin. But no, he felt his pains of the waking hours clear as anything.

Pushing her nose forward just slightly she let her whiskers feel for danger. Her nose twitched as ahe sniffed toward him. Walking along the bookcase she bounded off to another high service closer to this two leg. Tilting her head she sniffed out again. Certain it wasnt dangerous she leaped to the ground and paused. Crouching she jumped up bapping his side so as not to add to his hurt legs. Landing gracefully she bounded away and turned flicking her tail playfully.

(You are readinf correct! She is a very clever observant girl. Endlessly curious to lol. I love your descriotion of Hurin knowing he is not dreaming and seeing them in gondolin.)

Her nose twitched with the unpleasant smell. Ears flat her tail lay silent behind her. This was not playtime. She did not like this new one. Prowling around to the higher branch she looked down. Her eyes took the low light of the night and enhanced it into the glow of near day. She did not recognize this new one. Did not like its scent.

Did not like the upset she heard in her soft Nelyo's voice. Claws lightly extended to hold onto the tree branch she moved again. Holding just over the new one's shoulders. Hackles raising she dropped down. Spitting a hiss she growled as her claws sank into leather over flesh. Teeth flashing she was careful not to injure badly.

Nelyo hated that.

The screams of the new one made her tail lash in gleeful success. Leaping down as the new one stumbled and fell she huncher her back. Positioning her body to protect her red headed keeper she hissed and growled. Claws swiping air.

Will fight and claw! Away or will eat to! The strange one scrambled away with a horrified noise pleasing her instincts greatly. She wanted to chase. Who doesnt want to chase? But she had to see to her den mate.

Truning she nuzzled her soft Nelyo's leg letting loose a soft mewl of care. Safe now.

🔺️ Any idea where Rochallor got the idea to use his hoof to poke people for apples?

“I swear upon my honor, ‘‘twas not from me.”

@boundbyeruslight (we can ask Rochalor ourselves!)

[boundbyeruslight]

Rochallor snorted as he examined the lower branches of the apple tree. Nothing in nibbling range. Ears rotating in annoyance he kicked up a canter foward the elves lunching on the edge of the orchard. Surely one of them will offer an apple!

Slowing he watched with wide eyes as his Nolo's foal crawled around the blankets. Curious he walked forward lowering his head. The small elf foal giggled reaching up to rub his nose. Leaning down further he pushed his head into the foal. It squealed clutching at his fur. Lifting his head he blew a puff of air at its fluffy head fur. The elf foal squealed and clapped. Pleased at this he nudged it forward angling it back to his Nolo.

All the elves semed to be distracted by their activities. Knowing the elf foal did not like his loud calls he turned his ears in annoyance. He wanted an apple. Walking forward he stood behind an elf waiting. Waiting. Flattening his ears he huffed. Then. He remembered. An elf touching another elf with their hoof. Made elf turn. Raising his hoof he moved it forward just enough to tap the elf's leg. The elf turned and smiked. Success!

Patting his nose they turned and moved away after some soft words. Snorting his ears turned backward. Not the pount elf! Yes am amazing but wanted apple! Finding another elf he walked over toward them determined to repeat until he got his apple!

Little fire lizard isn’t keen on his bed being used to toast marshmallows D:<

Might be another one for the perpetual WIP pile, but I like the idea so I may come back to it yet.

Behold nolo's baby on its warm good rocks unamused by elflung antics

Fingolfin backed up, giving the two space while still watching to make sure something didn't go wrong.

The mare didn't hesitate for once, moving to follow Maedhros immediately. As she was led into the paddock, she had a bit more reserve, sticking close to Maedhros any time someone came even slightly close. (close being distant still) Once on the paddock, she found a corner slightly away from everything else, and didn't stop trotting toward the corner, then coming back to circle around Maedhros until he was herded into that same corner. Fingolfin watched with some concern, but this herding antic was amusing. ~🐎

(Maedhros has been herded! @boundbyeruslight if ok to tag you because I know your Rochalor also loves to herd his elves so I thought you’d be amused)

Maedhros grinned despite himself, allowing the mare to herd him into the place she clearly felt was best for him.

“I will stay here until you move me,” he promises her. He throws a slightly guilty, apologetic look at Fingolfin but has to return his attention to the mare fairly quickly.

(Very ok to tag! This is amazing anon you write horses ao well its a real joy to read)
