A Strong Heart Never Dies
Chapter 2:
In his heart Legolas didn't want to leave the girl alone, but he know the child would eventually die if he wasn't treated. Legolas thought about what the dagger's poison and what herbs he would need to heal eat somewhat, just enough for Aidan to live with poison until Aragorn can heal him fully. Legolas slowly came to a walk. A trip to Gondor from his position would about two days, but with Aidan like this it may take longer.
As he slowly walked through the woods he felt Aidan Shudder under him. Legolas looked down at the small elf in his arms, he was shaking and there was sweat drops on his pale face, cause some of his falling blonde hair to stick to his face. Soon Legolas was trembling more and more.
'Is he cold?' Legolas thought to himself. But elves don't get cold….maybe it's the poison.?' Legolas asked himself.
He then found a large opening near a small pond where they could spend the night. Although the sun was not completely set it would be getting dark soon so he thought it a good idea if they set up camp.
Legolas looked at the boy and thought he should get some herds and semi-heal his wounds so they don't get any worse. He walked over to a large tree and rested Aidan against it. Aidan trembled more when Legolas set him down for Legolas's body gave off heat and know it was gone. Legolas saw Aidan trembling more so he took off his clack and laid it on him. Legolas tucked in the edged of the cloak around Aidan's slim body. Aidan snuggled up to the warmth and smiled unconsciously. Legolas smiled soft at the boy, he reminded him of himself in a way.
Legolas went into the woods and picked up some small twigs, he then went back and started a small fire that burned brightly next to Aidan. The elf's tremors came more frequent and he had lost most of the color in his face. Legolas left the boy, once more, and went to look for some herds to help Aidan. After he found the kind that he was searching for he headed back towards the large tree.
As Legolas came into the clearing and went over to the small pond. He grabbed a small bowl and filled it half way with the fresh cold water. He added the herbs and mashed them together until they formed a white syrup type liquid.
Legolas then lightly lifted Aidan's head and slowly poured the syrup into his mouth. Aidan coughed up some the medicine and slowly opened his eyes.
"Wa? - who are you…?" he stuttered, his voice was scratchy and unbalanced.
"Shh….you need to rest little one…" Legolas comforted him.
"Bu-" he was cut off by Legolas's finger going over his lip
"Hush…sleep little one, we will talk later" Legolas told him. Aidan looked at him long and hard; as if his next move would be life or death, but he eventually gave up and slowly closed his eyes while resting in Legolas arms.
He slowly drifted into a deep sleep. Leoglas didn't move as the boy slept in his arms, he smiled at Aidan and pulled his cloak around them both as, he to, fell in a deep sleep.
