Why?
Author's note- sorry but I don't know Arathorn wife's name so she is called the wife.
Chapter 3
Next Elrond examined the dagger witch told him all he needed to know. "Well. Is it Elvish or not? Elrohir asked a little impatient. "Aye my son it is indeed elvish." Elrond replied his voice filled with anger. "What shall we do with Caranthir ada?" Elladan asked. "I want both of you to find him and bring him to me. I will like to see him and tell him his punishment. I will look after Estel till you two come back." "Yes ada" both twins replied at the same time and went to find the elf that had attempted to murder their little brother.
It had been a couple of hours when Elladan and Elrohir had gone to find Caranthir and Elrond was sitting next to his young son Estel who was still fast asleep. Thinking of the first time they had met.
(Flashback)
It was late at night and there was thunder storm. Lord Elrond was waiting for his Twin sons Elladan and Elrohir to return. Elrond had sent them to help Arathorn and his wife and the rangers. Elrond had been told that they were under attack by orcs and Arathorn two year old son Aragorn was in grave dander. Aragorn was in danger because he was the heir to the throne of Gondor.

Elrond was suddenly brought of his little day dream by a quiet moan so quiet even Elrond with his elven hearing has to strain his ears to hear. "Estel, you're awake." Elrond said with joy of seeing his little boy finally awake and sad of how much pain he could see in the young face.
"Ada" Estel said is quiet voice filled with pain and confusion. "Yes Estel ada is here. Can you open your eyes for me?" Elrond asked in a quiet and calm voice. After a few minutes Estel opened his lovely grey eyes a crack and look around.
Elrond noticed this and also saw the fright in Estel's eyes as he scanned the room not stopping on one place for too long.
"Estel, Look at me" Elrond ordered gently to the child. Estel slowly looked at his father in the eyes. "Estel, listen to me my son. There is nothing to be afraid of. The person who did this to you is going to be found and punished ok" Elrond explained slowly making shore Estel understood completely.
Slowly Estel nodded. "Good. Now can you drink this for me? It will help you sleep and make the pain go away. Estel once again nodded and accepted the cup and drank it all with out complaining. Estel was asleep before the cup was even empty. Elrond smiled to him self. He tucked Estel back into bed and began to sing an Elvish lullaby that Celebrian who was Elrond's wife used to sing the twins when they were young.
