Shadows of the past
Chapter 3 - Interrupted?
Lenwer was very fond of Khimar, he always seemed to enlighten the atmosphere when around. He felt that the youth was ready for such an adventure to distant lands, before it was too late.
'Shall we leave him here Lenwer?' Khimar excitedly questioned.
'Although that sounds a good idea, but I think we may need him.'
'Awww.. only joking Legolas, come let us be off.' Khimar suggested before Legolas changed his mind about not letting him go.
'Aren't you forgetting I am still attached to the tree?' Legolas questioned slyly.
'Oh yeah.'

The sun shone down on the three companions as they sat silently in the branches of an old tall oak. The birds sang openly to one another and a light, cool breeze drifted through the branches.
They had been travelling now for eight hours and were beginning to feel hot and tired from being under the constant hot rays of the sun.
Up high in the canopy of the trees sat Lenwer, Legolas and Khimar. Legolas and Lenwer shared a branch. Legolas was up against the trunk of the tree leaning against it, whilst Lenwer lay flat out on the branch. Khimar had decided to take a higher branch and he sat swinging his legs restlessly. The silence was broken.
'Legolas how long will it take us to reach Rivendell?' Inquired the youth.
'Well at the rate at which we are walking, I'd say a couple of days.'
Lenwer remained silent, his eyes were closed, but he listened intently to his surroundings, not letting his guard down. He was waiting for an opportunity to ask Legolas why he was so reluctant for Khimar to travel with them. After all he was not THAT much of a nuisance and was not that young, Lenwer mused. Lenwer had travelled with younger. Little did he know that he too soon would be regretting Khimar's company.
'Well I don't know about you, but I am going to find a spring to fill my water flask. Would you like me to fill yours?' Questioned Khimar as he stood up.
'Yes that would be great.' Lenwer replied taking his chance to be left alone with Legolas for a while.
Khimar gathered up the three water flasks and jumped down from the branch to the ground.
Lenwer with his eyes still closed was startled when he heard a quiet thud on the ground. 'Khimar I hope you just didn't jump down to the ground from this high up?' Lenwer smiled.
'Um. no!' With that the youth ran off to get some fresh water.
Lenwer opened his eyes and looked over to Legolas and found that Legolas was sniggering to himself.
'Prey do tell what you find so amusing?' Lenwer asked.
'I find it funny how you always act like the father figure around Khimar.'
'What is so funny about that?' Questioned Lenwer.
'Nothing, I think he respects you, but. never mind.' Legolas lent back against the bark of the tree, and closed his eyes. 'It's just that you seem so old!' Legolas teasingly said, knowing that he was on risky ground.
'OLD!' Cried Lenwer.
'Yes old!' Laughed the Elf.
'I'll give you old!!' Lenwer rose from lying and leapt towards Legolas whom jumped up to the top branch. Lenwer looked up reluctant to go that high.
'Come now Lenwer, are you too OLD to climb up here?' The Elf teased.
At that Lenwer jumped elegantly to the branch.
'Not so old now, am I Legolas?' Teased the half Elf.
The two began to laugh, for Lenwer knew Legolas was only teasing.
'Come now let us go down to a lower branch.' Legolas suggested.
'Very well.' Replied Lenwer.
Lenwer slowly lowered himself down to a lower branch. He looked back up to Legolas.
'Anyway Legolas, you are older than me.'
'Oh yes, so I am.' Legolas smiled.
Legolas was a branch above Lenwer; he was about to jump down when the branch began to snap.
'Wow! Lenwer a little help please!!' Legolas was loosing his balance.
Quickly Lenwer grabbed out to catch Legolas, but only lost his balance and he too began to plummet to the ground from the tree.
First to hit the ground was Lenwer.
'Fuck!' Was all he said. Quickly followed by Legolas.
Another stifled groan left Lenwer
'You always used to swear like a mortal man.' Legolas looked up at the distance they had just fallen then he whistled. 'That was lucky!' Legolas exclaimed, for he had landed on top of Lenwer.
'Who for? For it was definitely no luck for me!' Moaned Lenwer.
Legolas still sprawled on Lenwer began laughing. Lenwer tried to sit up, but Legolas only pushed him back down.
'What's the matter old man, having a problem sitting up?' Teased Legolas. His radiating eyes sparkled with delight at the annoyed dark cobalt ones of the half Elf beneath him.
Lenwer wrapped his hands around Legolas' waist and he began to tickle his sides. Which made Legolas squirm. He sat up and pulled Legolas onto his lap.
Both were startled when they spotted a rather amused Elf watching them with his hands on his hips.
To be continued.
