Ch. 6
Elrond, the lord of the Elven land of Imladris had faced many challenges throughout his long, Elven life span.
He had faced armies and horrors beyond imagination.............
But none of those challenges before had filled him with so much dread and anticipation for what the outcome of it could be as to the challenge facing him now....
It was time to remove Estel's bandages.
The dread came from the fact that if his treatment had failed and Aragorn remained blind. The anticipation came from wanting to know the outcome.
Elrond walked slowly to where he knew Aragorn would be.
He could put this off no longer.
They had to know.
* * * * * * * * *
Aragorn sat in his room. Around him, was a circle of Elves: His two Elven brothers, his best friend Legolas, and his adoptive father Elrond.
Elrond picked up a small pair of scissors, his hands almost shaking as he reached forward to cut the bandage from around Aragorn's eyes.
The Lord of Rivendell paused, "You know, Estel.....this treatment may not have worked and I want you to understand that. Nothing is guaranteed...and if it does fail...I am sorry."
Aragorn slowly shook his head. "No, father..do not be sorry. I have faith in you."
Elrond nodded, trying to let his son's words encourage him. Still, he could not banish the fear and doubt that hung over his heart.
Elrond gently reached forward, shading Aragorn's eyes with one hand, the scissors in the other. He then cut the white bandage that had been a constant veil over his son's eyes for the past few weeks.
Elrond peeled the bandage from around Aragorn's face, keeping the human's eyes shaded. "Aragorn, now open your eyes slowly."
Aragorn obeyed.
At first, he saw blackness.....then, the blackness fuzzed to a grey......
Then he saw a blurred mass of color, shapes and objects.
Finally, the haze cleared so he could see the worried face of his Elven father.
He slowly raised a hand to hover in front of his face. "Five, am I correct?"
Elrond smiled as his son counted his fingers. "Yes, thank Illuvitar!"
Suddenly, the room was amass in hugs, all four Elves converging on the human in congratulation and relief.
Aragorn could see...and that was enough reason to celebrate any day.
* * * * * * * * *
Aragorn looked out at the dawn as the sun rose over Imladris. He sighed with contentment......finally, he could see the splendor of his home again.
"The last time I saw you out here, you were in deep thought. What is on your mind, now, mellon?"Legolas inquired.
((mellon means friend in elvish....k?....duh for all who have read the books....lol))
Aragorn turned to look at his friend. "The same as before, yet now, I am pleased to say I can both see with my eyes...and see without them."
A faint smile touched the Elven Prince's lips. "I am glad you are well, Estel. I am truly glad......"
"Come on...you know you enjoyed it deep down that I couldn't best you in everything when I was blinded,"Aragorn prodded.
Legolas's eyebrows arched. "Excuse me?"
"Yes, you heard me, Legolas. Now that I have my sight again, I can continue to best you in everything we do,"Aragorn said.
"Arrogant human."
"Prissy Elf."
"Well, why don't we put your bragging to the test, then? I will race you to the waterfall,"Legolas said, racing off down the stairs.
With a short cry of surprised dismay, Aragorn followed. "Wait! That's not fair! Wait!!!"
With that, the two friends raced off through the halls of the house of Elrond, looking forward to having many good times to come.........
* * * * * * * * *
THE END....a sequel is coming...okay? It will be a work in progress, but it WILL BE HERE SOON! PLUS, it HAS GLORFINDEL IN IT! YAY ! RAISE DA ROOF! WHOOP WHOOP! PARTY OVER HERE! Lol
Here is a small preview of the next story comin' up.
Beneath the Surface
Whips flashed cruelly, the pain white hot and terrible.
Still, Glorfindel said nothing, even as his red blood contrasted greatly with his golden hair. No, he would not give them the satisfaction of knowing just how much pain they were causing him.
"Let this be a lesson to all Elves that pass into the Misty Mountains,"AranenTel'draug said, cruelty borne by the hardships of life showing harshly in his icy blue eyes.
Glorfindel could only shake his head....
**********
"You will fear me, Elf."
Legolas didn't even reply. There was no point to. Replying would only make the Skin Changer angrier...and that was something Legolas simply did not want to deal with.
In response to Legolas's silence, the Skin Changer punched him hard in the jaw, then across his temple. Spots danced before the Elf's eyes..........
Then the *real* pain came.....
Well, that was the brief, possibly too long, peek of the sequel. I hope this leaves you hungry for more, if not, then i'm sorry.............I love you all!!!!!!!!! Bye bye! *runs away to avoid angry Legolas and Glorfindel fans*
