Silly Elf
Summery- An injured elf is found in the forests of Rivendell after a storm. Why is he there and how did he get hurt.
Chapter 1
It had been a cold and rainy night. Every one was happy when the rain stopped and the sun came up ready for the beginning of a new day.
Lord Elrond of Rivendell was on the baloney of his room look at his surroundings and hoping nobody had been out in the rain last night. Elrond was suddenly disturbed by a knock at his door. "Come in." He said a little impatiently.
"My lord, I am terribly sorry to disturb you but an elf has been found in the woods. He is seriously injured. He has been taken to the hall of healing." A messenger said a little fast and out of breath.
"Thank you and tell the solders that found him well done as well." Elrond replied.
"Yes my lord." The messenger said and then bowed and went to deliver the message lord Elrond sent.
Elrond walked out of his room and down the halls until he came to the hall of healing. In the hall of healing only one bed was occupied. Healers were bustling about with bandages and other equipment for the mysterious elf on the bed at the far end of the room.
Elrond told them all to leave and one of them to get his three sons, Elladan, Elrohir and Estel.
Elrond ran to the bed where the elf lay. He was covered in crimson blood from what a peered to be a wound to his left side.
Elrond carefully pull the cloth away from the wound that a healer had put there and what he saw had to be the strangest injury he had ever seen.
The wound appeared to be a stab wound. But instead of a straight line you usually get when you are stabbed by a sword or dagger, was a hole.
Upon closer inspection he saw little bits of wood. Just then the twins and Estel came into the room.
"Ada, who is he?" Estel asked confused.
"I do not know Estel. Here clean his face for me." Elrond said not looking up from the side wound and quickly passing Estel a bowl of water with a sponge in it.
"Elladan, Elrohir, can you help me. He was traces of wood in his wound that needs to be removed can you get me my tweezers." Elrond ask.
"Yes ada" Elrohir said and went of to retrieve them.
It didn't take very long to remove the splitters of wood and bind the wound.
After they had finished with the side wound. Elrond began to search for any other hidden injuries. Not finding any he went to join the twins. Who was helping Estel clean the elf's face that was covered in dried blood and mud.
When they had finally finished they said together in surprise "Legolas!"
"Ada, what is he doing here? How did he get hurt? Elladan asked in confusion and surprise.
"I do not know my son, only Legolas can tell us. So we must wait for him to wake.
It was late afternoon when Legolas decided to wake. Elrond, Estel and the twins were at his side immediately.
"Legolas how do you feel." Elrond asked gently stroking his long blond hair.
"Fine." Legolas said.
Elrond sighed. Legolas had always been suborn when it came to injuries and pain.
"What happened Legolas?. Why are you here and not in Mirkwood?" Elrohir asked
"It was walking back to Mirkwood after a hunting trip. But then it started raining so I took cover in a cave. But when the rain stopped I suppose I went the wrong way. And to how I hurt my side…. I tripped on a tree root." Legolas answered a little embarrassed.
All of the elf's listening burst out laughing and so did Legolas shortly after.
Legolas recovered quickly and went home to Mirkwood, but went the right way this time.
The End.
