Ch. 8
The group trudged slowly up to the house of Elrond. Aragorn and Arrna were being supported heavily by the other Elves as the cold weather had begun to make their wounds stiffen.
As soon as they entered the Elf lord's home, Elrond rushed forward, his face a mixture of extreme relief and concern as he looked upon the company.
He didn't even notice the two additions to the group.
"Elladan, Elrohir, get Estel to his room. I will tend to his wounds there. I will be there in a moment,"Elrond said.
"I'm fine, really—"
A glare from Elrond said it all. Elrond was not going to take Aragorn's protests.
Once Aragorn had been taken to his room, Elrond turned to Glorfindel. "Are you all right, nin mellon?"
"I am well, but I believe I have a new companion who is not,"Glorfindel said, directing Elrond's gaze to the side.
Elrond turned to see two Skin Changers.
Hrive had an arm around Arrna's waist, struggling to support his weight. Arrna had one arm slung limply around Hrive's shoulders, barely hanging on to consciousness. A dark red stain was growing by the second on his pants leg.
"Follow me." Not quite knowing what to think, Elrond motioned for the Skin Changer to follow him.
Glorfindel aided Hrive in getting her unconscious friend to a bedroom.
Once Arrna was on a bed, Glorfindel turned to the lord of Imladris, who stood there, indecision in his eyes. "You go help Estel. I will take care of Arrna, here. I will call for your aid if it is needed."
With that, Elrond left the room to tend to his youngest son.
* * * * * * * * *
Aragorn winced as Elrond cleansed the gouges left by the Tel'draug's teeth. Luckily, they were neat, button sized holes, meaning they would be easier to clean.
"There, all done,"Elrond put the basin of water aside as he finished binding the last of his son's wounds.
"See? I told you it wasn't bad,"Aragorn said, slowly maneuvering to where he could sit up and meet his father's gaze.
"Still, you need rest." Elrond pressed his foster son back down with a soft, exasperated sigh. "You need to recover."
"I also need to speak with Legolas. I fear for him. I know not as to what those animals did to him,"Aragorn said stubbornly.
"Fine then. Just do not walk on that leg. Try not to use your right arm, either,"Elrond stated, handing the Ranger a cane.
"I will no—"Aragorn looked down at the cane with distaste.
"Without the cane, you will not leave this bed,"Elrond interrupted, giving Aragorn the 'no arguments' stare.
Aragorn nodded, knowing he would gain no ground with Elrond once the Elf Lord made up his mind. The Ranger then picked up the cane and limped down the hallway in search of his friend.
* * * * * * * * *
Glorfindel looked inside the room where two Skin Changers to whom he owed his life to sat.
The one called Arrna was laying there, finally sleeping peacefully.
Hrive sat at her best friend's side, an constant bedside vigil, there for when he should wake.
Glorfindel softly cleared his throat. "May I come in?"
Hrive looked up, her face breaking out into a weary smile. "Yes, of course, Glorfindel."
Glorfindel entered the room to pull up a chair opposite Hrive. "I believe we can finally all rest now that the battle is over,"he commented.
"Yes....I'm glad to see Arrna finally sleeping peacefully. He hasn't slept like this for years, not since he joined my fa—"Hrive stopped herself, pushing aside the grief as she remembered her exile. "He hasn't slept this well for years."
"I was referring to you. I would imagine you have not gotten a decent night's rest since Legolas arrived in your city. You took good care of him." Glorfindel pretended not to notice the Half- Elven Skin Changer's slip up.
Hrive blushed slightly. "It was nothing that any decent being would not have done."
"You deserve more credit than you take, young one, but if you wish to believe that, then do so. But, I must personally thank you,"Glorfindel began. When Hrive opened her mouth to interrupt, Glorfindel laid a hushing finger to her lips. "No, it is true. I owe you my thanks, for both this time, and many years before."
Hrive shook her head slightly, but did not argue with the Elf.
"It took great courage to step out and go against your father as you did. You sacrificed much for the lives of Elves you did not know half as well as the people you dwelled with. For your sacrifice, I thank you....for my life, I thank you."
Hrive shook her head, tears welling in her eyes. She looked up, the tears bright and glistening in her ice blue eyes. "It is truly no reason to thank me....I merely did what I believed was right...and I stand by that,"she whispered, her voice choked.
Glorfindel reached out and pulled her hand into his, stroking it soothingly. "Thank you....so much."
* * * * * * * * *
"Legolas!" Aragorn limped up behind his best friend.
Legolas turned at the sound of Aragorn's voice, his eyes widening as he saw the Ranger limping forward, cane in hand.
"You should not be up yet,"Legolas hissed concernedly, helping Aragorn to a chair.
"Nonsense. I'm a fast healer,"the stubborn Dunadan replied. "But...the question is, are you?"
Legolas arched an eyebrow. "I am fine."
"Are you? I wish to know, what happened to you, Legolas?"Aragorn looked at his friend with an open, understanding gaze.
"What did those animals—"
"Not all of them are animals like the soldiers that attacked you, Aragorn. Pie is one of the most compassionate, caring individuals I have ever met . She fed, healed, and protected me from the other Tel'draug as best as she could,"Legolas defended quickly.
Aragorn's eyes widened. So...that was how Legolas had escaped. And that was how his best friend was still alive........a Skin Changer had aided him.
"I'm sorry I offended you, nin mellon (my friend). I am very weary....and my encounters with the Tel'draug were far from nice, I assure you. I am still wary of the soldier we brought with us, despite his brave actions in protecting Glorfindel,"Aragorn apologized.
A small smile softened Legolas's features. "You did not offend me. It is fine. I wouldn't worry about the Tel'draug soldier. Pie will control him."
"Pie....?"
"It is truly a long story, Aragorn...a long story for another day."
