Shadows of the past
Chapter 5 - Good advice
The three blue-eyed companions walked silently. In front was Khimar humming to himself. Next walked Legolas. Then at the rear was Lenwer alert as always.
Legolas rubbed the sweat from his brow and looked up at the sky. The air was still and hot. The songs of birds filled the motionless air. Dusk was falling and the sun was vanishing.
Breathing was becoming hard. Khimar now only wore his leggings and soft leather boots. For he was boiling. The rest of his garments were in his pack all except his leather wristbands, which he wore to protect his wrist during archery and to help the injury he had heal. He rarely took them off. His bare chest shone with pearls of sweat. Across is back he had his quiver and his bow was across his chest. The soft wood of the arch of the bow rubbed against his bare skin.
His golden locks were beginning to stick to his back. This began to annoy him, so he produced a band from his pack and swept back his golden hair and tied it only using one hand. Lenwer watched in amazement.
'Khimar what did you do to your wrist?' Inquired Lenwer.
'Twas only an arrow, which was shot through my wrist.' He shrugged it off, implying it didn't matter.
'Only an arrow! Who did it?' Lenwer was becoming worried.
'Oh nobody, just my brother.' Khimar looked away knowing that Lenwer did not approve. 'Do not worry Lenwer it was just an accident!' Khimar left it at that so Lenwer did not ask any more questions.
Although Khimar was young his body was firm and toned, his skin was not as pale as most elves. Most likely because he rarely wore much in the sun. His muscles tensed at every movement he made.
Lenwer had to look away from Khimar as he was tempting him. He scolded himself for his thoughts. 'Come now Lenwer, how old are you! He is old enough to be your son!' He kept telling himself.
He reverted his gaze to Legolas whom walked in front of him.
He wore his soft green leggings; his boots and at his belt a long white knife. He was reluctant to take off his shirt as he was proud and preferred only to reveal himself to someone he truly loved. But Legolas was amused at how freely Khimar would expose his skin.
Legolas' light green shirt clung to his firm body, showing off his slender figure.
He too had his bow across his chest and quiver attached to his shoulders. His bag containing all his belongings he had tied to his quiver.
Legolas wiped his brow again. 'By Elbereth, how humid it is!' He thought to himself. His mouth was dry and he had not the energy to speak.
Lenwer continued to watch Legolas. He wore his faded light brown leggings, his long, black, supple leather boots. His sword was sheathed and hung on his belt loosely. Proud as he was he kept his shirt on, also unknown to the others he hid something from them, something from his past, which he wasn't willing to share. To compensate for not having his shirt off in this warm weather he rolled his sleeves up as high as they could go and most of the buttons of his shirt were undone, or already broken.
His dark mahogany hair clung to his neck. Sweat was on his brow and chest. The half Elf had his bow across his chest and quiver loosely on his shoulders.
Lenwer broke the silence with much effort. 'I believe that these are the signs for a storm, are they not?'
'Indeed they are!' Legolas replied taking in a slow deep breath.
'I suggest that we take shelter in that cave on the slope of the mountain.' Lenwer stretched out and arm and wavered it in the direction of the Misty Mountains.
'Where I cannot see a cave?' Khimar questioned turning back to look at Lenwer.
'Ah. well you see Khimar, Lenwer here has extremely good eyesight, better than yours and mine at any rate. So he can see great distances. Even I cannot see where he is pointing to!' Legolas admitted.
'Oh how foolish of me. Lenwer does not your name mean 'Eagles rain'? Asked Khimar with curiosity.
'Indeed it does.' Lenwer quietly replied.
'So you have the eyesight of an Eagle? Is that why you have your name?' Khimar was deeply interested, knowing little about Lenwer's past.
'Yes, it is one of the reasons for my name.' Lenwer took in a deep breath, he didn't like people asking him personal questions but he knew Khimar wasn't trying to be awkward.
Khimar was just about to ask what was the other reason for his name, but Legolas whom gave him a sharp look, as though to say 'Shut up Khimar you know how sensitive he gets', stopped him
So Khimar did shut up and continued walking with great difficulty. He couldn't help himself he just had to ask one more question. 'And I suppose being able to tell if a storm is coming is one of your specialities?' The youth said. Legolas shot him another look.
'It appears so Khimar.' Lenwer answered.
'Silence you two.' Legolas finally spoke 'The birds singing has ceased, which means we have minutes till the rain and thunder comes!' Legolas stated firmly.
'Come, we must run! Follow me!' Cried Lenwer.
'Oh.do we have to run?' Moaned Khimar.
'Unless you want to get drenched and struck by lightening, seeing as we are in the open, I suggest you run!' Legolas informed him sarcastically.
'I see your point.'
