Summary: Eonwe brings home a pet.
“Get rid of it!” Manwë ordered.
“But it is just a baby,” he countered.
“It is evil,” Manwë growled.
“But it thinks I am its mother,” he tried to argue.
“You know better,” Manwë stated again as he tried to hold in a sigh of frustration.
“It is rather cute,” Oromë added as he played with the little blue and yellow striped dragon in Eönwë’s arms.
“We just fought a war to destroy the evil that created them,” Tulkas commented trying to back up the Elder King. He thought it was cute also but acknowledged it would not stay that way.
“It may not be evil if I raise it,” Eonwe began to plead as the little dragon he had found before coming back to Aman from Middle-earth clung closer to him.
“Do I need to have Thoronder kill it?” Manwë asked in a quiet voice as Eonwe began to cuddle it closer.
“No sir,” Eonwe answered in defeat.
“Aulë, go with him to ensure the deed is done,” Manwë ordered before turning back to his Herald who he considered his son. “Then I think perhaps that you need to spend some time with your uncle Namo child.”
Varda began to snicker and finally laughed outright after Eonwe and Aulë had left.
“What are you laughing at?” Manwë demanded to know.
“Just imagining what other ideas will show up as they grow,” Varda answered as she tried to sooth her husband. “After all, he is one of the oldest and the first to hit puberty.”
There was a collective groan around the throne room as the other Valar thought about just what the Queen was implying. As if the Eldar and their troubles were not enough, now they had to deal with their Maiar growing up.
“Do not even think you are going to send them all to me,” Namo said as he disappeared in a hurry.
