Song For None
~
Elrond and Thranduil's guards into the woods where Brea's men were heading out of.
Soon, one of Elrond's guards saw some of Brea's men off in the distance.
"There!" One pointed out and the elfes started to shoot.
Most of the men in the group fell with the arrows of the elfes and soon other men were riding or running out of the trees to attack the elfes.
A full gage battle was soon happening.
The fights continued resulting in more death of the men than the elfes but unfortunately there were many more men than elfes and they kept attacking back.
~
Elrond and the others could hear a random shout or clash of armor from the battle as they sat waiting in Elrond's room.
Other elfes in Rivendell also were hiding together and praying to the Valar for the best of the battle.
~
The elfes were beginning to feel the men pushing in on them and were slowly growing thinner in numbers.
Just as the elfes though they would have to retreat new men came crashing through the trees.
The men were not the same as the men that were attacking though. They were rangers!
The rangers begin to fight with the elfes and push back the men.
After a few hours of fighting the men were only few left and the elfes easily ran them off.
The elfes thanked the rangers and invited them back to Elrond's house but most refused politely and left on their way.
The elfes gathered up their wounded and dead and carried them back to Elrond.
~
"I don't hear the battle anymore." Elladan said, the room had been quiet for the past half and hour.
"I believe it is over." Thranduil went to the window to look out, "Elrond, our guards are returning and they have a young boy with them."
Elrond went to the window and looked out. His and Thranduil's guards were returning and there were a few ragged looking men and a younger one coming with them.
"I believe those are rangers and that is Estel." Elrond smiled.
~
The guards walked the rangers to the front of Elrond's house where Elrond and the rest were waiting for them.
"Elrond, Estel came to see you." One of the guards motioned to Estel and stepped aside.
"Father, I'm so glad to see you! And the rest of you." Estel gave Elrond, Elrohir and Elladan a brief hug. "Nice mess you go into Legolas." Estel teased.
"What can I say?" Legolas smiled back at the boy who had changed so much over the two short weeks he was gone.
~
The group walked inside to one of Elrond's dinging to rooms to feed the hungry and tired guards and the rangers, who had decided to stay, which were very few.
No one talked very much at dinner that night but Thranduil and Elrond were in a hurry to talk to the guards and the rangers about who the men were.
~
Soon just the six young elfes and Estel were left at the table.
"It seems so long ago that we all sat together for dinner." Maik smiled at everyone around the table.
"Lifetimes ago." Replied Elladan.
