Aragorn slid off his horse. He handed the reins to a stable hand, and helped
Legolas to the ground, steadying him as his legs wavered. Theomir dismounted and steadied the other side. Several Elves came fourth , carrying a stretcher which they forced him to lie on. He could tell his Elven friend didn't like to be helpless- it was'nt in his nature, but firm orders from all three of them made him lie still as they carried him inside.
"I'll go inform Aelon he's home," Elondrir whispered to them, and disappeared off to her chambers. The other two proceded to a room where the healers could do thier work. They watched as Legolas was put into a bed and the bandages were removed so they could access the injuries, when Elondrir came in with Aelon,
who was pale as a ghost.
"Legolas!" She said hoarsly as she saw her husband, and a visable look of relief washed over her when she saw he was still alive.
****************************************************************
He looked up when he heard his wife call out his name- Theomir was true to his word, Aelon was white as a sheet, and looked extremely worried.
He watched Elondrir pull up a chair for her, and she sat at his bedside, rubbing his hand soothingly. He vaugely heard Elondrir whisper:
"we'll leave you two alone while the healers do thier work," before his brothers and Estel left.
He smiled weakly at his wife, and she brushed some of his hair out of his blue-grey eyes. He flinched as the healer stuffed some herbs into the arrow wound on his side, and again as more were pressed into the cuts on his midsection.
"You're a mess," his wife said lovingly , and kissed his forehead, helping him
sit up as the healer wrapped bandages all over his midsection. The healer treated the arrow wound on his back, and then wrapped his arm tightly after treating that too. Legolas just lay and let it happen. He gasped as the healer started rubbing something of an ointment into his shoulder, which would soothe the pain while it healed.
"This will hurt- im sorry but I have to apply pressure to the area so brace yourself," the healer said to him apologetically.
"It's okay," he replied through gritted teeth, and clung tighter to Aelons hand, trying not to give away how much it hurt. Aelon was'nt fooled, however, she just
kept rubbing his hand gently.
Finally the healer and Aelon let him sit up, and slipped a soft shirt on him, and
the healer handed a small flask of medicine.
"Drink this, you will sleep well, and it will heal your wounds," she said gently.
"Get some sleep." With that she shut the door behind her, Legolas
drank the mixture, and lay down in the soft bed.
Seeing Aelons sad face he gently patted the bed on his left side, moving over, and motioning for her to lie down. She did as he asked, and curled up at his side.
"I was so worried about you," She murmered softly, toying with his long, blonde hair that rested on his shoulder.
"Im sorry I left, I should'nt have gone," he leaned down and kissed her forehead, wrapping his weak arm round her.
"It's ok, Theomir said you were right to hold them off, if you hadn't gone the
Orcs would have been too close to here- they were running," she said, her eyelids
drooping.
"We think the Orcs are getting smarter- they climbed up the tree I was hiding in," he whispered. "How's Saalli?"
"She misses you terribly, she kept asking me if you were going to die,"
Aelon said, and a solitary tear slipped down her cheek.
"It's ok, im here now," Legolas murmured," go to sleep."
Aelon sighed, and in seconds she was asleep. The night before
She had been too scared to sleep properly; she was exhausted.
Legolas looked down at the female curled against his body and smiled.
"I love you Aelon," he murmured softly, her soft breathing putting him to sleep.
