Song For None

Vebor opened the door to Elrond's study. Elrond stood up to greet the two elfes.
"Elrond, it is nice to see you again. This is my companion Briltarma." Eglachil the taller of the two elfes introduced his shorter companion.
"Eglachil, it is nice seeing you again. Although I doubt it is under good circumstances." Elrond motioned for the two to sit down.
"Strange men have been seen around our borders and just a few days ago the attacked a group of six elfes traveling by our borders." Briltarma spook with a sound of distress in his voice.
"How many were in the group?" Elrond had the same thought that Vebor had thought, it might possibly be the group of elfes that traveled his four young elfes.
"There were six elfes in the group. The men attacked them. There were a large group of men but no one truly took count, they estimated about 17 men. Three elfes were killed. Two disappeared. We believe the men took the two elfes with them as hostages possibly. The last elf was badly hurt and is now being treated in Lothlorien." Briltarma told Elrond.
"It quite possibly might have been the group of elfes that traveled with the four young elfes brought here for the summer." Elrond was deeply saddened by this thought.
"We believe it was sir. I'm sorry. Do you have any news of your own of strange men?" Eglachil asked.
"Yes, my six young elfes we attacked just outside our borders in the woods. They tried to carry away one of the young girls. She was stabbed lightly but otherwise no one was hurt. I sent a messenger. He hasn't arrived yet?" Elrond took a drink of his water trying to calm himself.
"We have no news of a messenger from Rivendell. He might have been attacked by the men." Eglachil said.
"Who are these men? Have we no clue?" Elrond hated not knowing who was lurking in his borders.
"We believe they are men of Sauron." Briltarma said this quietly to Elrond, as though whispering such a foul name could bring Sauron himself to Rivendell, " We call the men, the Ilkea."
"The Ilkea. Well, I will send anymore news if I found out anything. The elflings will be staying with me I do not want them traveling at this time. Tell there parents they will be safe with me for the remainder of the summer, plans are not changing." Elrond stood to walk the two elfes to the door, "Have a safe journey home."
The elfes left and Elrond returned to his troubled position at his desk.
