"My Lord," Glorfindel rasped just as Elrond put a hand upon his neck.
"It is I, Glorfindel," Elrond said softly.
Glorfindel's eyes fluttered then opened to reveal glassy green. He seemed to have a time focusing on Elrond, but finally did.
"Are...you...in..jured?" he asked in gasps, and blood ran from the edge of his lips.
"Not badly," Elrond said, worry mirroring in the depths of his gray eyes.
"Liar," Glorfindel said softly, his glazed eyes twinkling slightly in mock humor.
"You are the only one I would ever allow to call me that," Elrond said, slight teasing in his voice, then he turned serious, "How are you feeling?"
" Dy..in..g hur..hurt worse the..the first ti..time," Glorfindel gasped out.
"You are not dying, and we will get out of here together," Elrond said softly.
"Enough of m..me. Wh..ere are you..in..injured?" Glorfindel asked softly.
"It is not but a small head and arm wound, do not worry for me," Elrond said, dismissing his own injuries.
"I..I ha..ve to. It..s a ..ha..bit."
"I thought so."
They were silent for a bit. Elrond kept watch over his friend; his heart fearing what may take place before night, and willing that death would keep its fearful claws from his friend. But the Lord of Imladris had seen death many times, upon the faces of many, and feared it once again had come to face Glorfindel, and this time, there would be no return from the depths of Mandos.
"Intre..sting..how how one no longer fe..fears dea..death af..ter facing it once," Glorfindel said softly.
"You won't die again," Elrond whispered.
"You ne..need me n..no longer," Glorfindel said.
"Of course I do. You are the one that has been beside me through this long long journey. You were a second Father to my children. Celebrian and you were the only two to get me through the worst of times. I have all ready lost my love, and it shall be a long time before we are reunited. I cannot lose my best friend as well," Elrond said softly, sorrow chocking his words.
"You are st..ro..nger.. then you kn.. know. Nev...er dou..bt tha.. that," Glorfindel whispered.
"I shall not. Please try to hold on, help shall be here soon," Elrond said softly.
"I shall try," Glorfindel wheezed.
Elrond nodded, then began to look at the wound. It was serious, and without his healer's tools, he could do little. What he could do would weaken him, and he knew that if their enemies returned, he would have to fight.
Glorfindel chocked slightly beside him, and he turned his eyes back to his companion. Glorfindel then gasped, and a wheezing sound came from him. He was now a shade paler, and his eyes were darkening.
"It..s growing cold," Glorfindel wheezed.
"I know, but all shall be well. Think of the warm fires of the Hall of Fire, and the soft songs that echo in that great hall. We shall return to it soon enough," Elrond soothed.
"If all goes well," Glorfindel gasped.
"All shall be well. Elladan and Elrohir shall find us soon enough," Elrond said, "Now be still, you are only making it worse by talking."
Glorfindel sighed, and then coughed slightly. Blood again ran down from the corners of his lips, and Elrond's worry grew. He could tell the signs of blood in the lungs, and he knew Glorfindel was already drowning from his own blood. He wouldn't have long before the blood completely filled his lungs. Elrond hoped that his sons or others of his group would find them soon.
