Chapter Three-Healing and Plans
~~~Author's POV~~~
Haldir, Gandalf, Gimli, and Aragorn arrived back inside Helms Deep, in a healing room. While Gandalf and Aragorn was fussing over Legolas, Haldir was thinking of everything that he could do to save Legolas' life, and Gimli was gone, gathering as many healing herbs, potions, bandages, and water as he could find. Afterwards, when everyone including Eomer, Eowyn, and King Theoden was back inside the healing room, and Aragorn had tended to Legolas' wounds, they were all discussing what they would do about Legolas. "We must get him to Rivendell, to Lord Elrond, or Lorien, to Lady Galadriel, they will be able to heal Legolas properly." Gandalf said. Aragorn replied, "No, the road is too far and dangerous. What if wargs and orcs attack? Legolas will be defenseless, true, I would protect him with my life, but if I died, Legolas would die as well. I mean, look at him! He is as pale as can be, if we even move him slightly, his wounds might start bleeding all over again!" "Then what will we do? Legolas cannot stay here! If we don't think of something quick, Legolas will die HERE!" Gimli protested. Haldir spoke up, "I can ride to Lorien, to Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn, and I will ask what they can do for Legolas. But they may end up coming to Helms Deep, you could also send a message to Lord Elrond, and he may come as well. Whatever you do, do NOT tell King Thranduil about Legolas, he will come down here, and we wouldn't want anything of the sort. I know King Thranduil, and if he comes, he will bring Legolas back to Mirkwood, and they can't do anything for him in Mirkwood. Do not try to keep me behind, because it won't work, my decision is made.Legolas saved my life.it's my turn to save his." Gandalf stared at him intently, and finally said, "Very well, General Haldir, you may go, but you must rest, I am sure that you are weary from the battle." "No, I do not need any rest, I am fine, I have no injuries, small bruises, the sooner I go, the faster I will come back." Haldir replied. Then, Haldir left, and the room became silent once again. Just when Aragorn was going to say something, five Uruk-hai soldiers burst into the room, when they saw Legolas, they rushed towards him, in the process, Eowyn was thrown back, knocking down Eomer and Gimli, and King Theoden was kicked in the stomach, now gasping for air. Gandalf killed two orcs, as did Aragorn, but the last Uruk was left unnoticed, it ran to Legolas, picked him up, and jumped up through the roof. Suddenly, Aragorn ran after it, still wondering how the Uruks got into Helms Deep unnoticed, and why they took Legolas away instead of attempting to kill him when he had the chance. Gandlaf helped Theoden up, and Eowyn jumped up, saying a thousand apologies to Eomer and Gimli, and blushing, yet panicking. They instantly ran to the direction that the orc was headed, as they were running through the crowds of people, they wondered what ill event has befallen them once again. Afterwards, when the five of them reached an open field, they saw Aragorn, fighting the Uruk soldier who was carrying Legolas on his back. Eowyn instantly noticed that Legolas' wounds had started bleeding again, soaking up the bandages, and dripping down on to the ground, she cursed, and also noticed that Legolas was definitely in pain. Suddenly, Gandalf chanted some spell, and then the Uruk froze, as if time itself had stopped. Then, Gandalf chanted another spell, which made Legolas float up into the air, out of the Uruk's reach. Aragorn took this time, and stabbed the Uruk with his sword, right into its heart (if orcs had one). Afterwards, they all headed back to Helms Deep with Legolas still floating in the air in front of the group of six. ~~~*~~~ When they arrived back into Helms Deep, they bandaged Legolas up again, and Eowyn said, "Is Master Legolas going to be alright? He seems to be in.bad shape.Aragorn? Are you hurt?" Aragorn turned to her and said, "Yes, I'm fine, unharmed, the Uruk did not hurt me. As for Legolas, I am not sure if he will be alright.if I said that, I would be lying to you.and I wouldn't want to do that. But I am worried.Legolas should've awoken by now.Legolas' healing abilities should have healed Legolas mentally enough for him to awaken." Suddenly, Legolas stirred and moaned in pain. All heads instantly snapped and turned in his direction, Legolas didn't make any movements.then, he muttered something about being his fault that so many men died, and that Aragorn died as well. They were all confused by his words and decided to remember him if that is what was making his healing abilities slow down. Then, Eomer spoke, "Many of my men who was shot or stabbed with an orc arrow and sword had poison in their bodies, I'm sure Legolas is poisoned, have you let out the poison yet?" Instantly, everyone paled at those words. Aragorn let out a grunt of disbelief, "I can't BELIEVE that I forgot about the orc poison! Of course! Oh no, we have to get the poison out of his system! Or he will die very soon! I will make an athelas potion, I'm sure I still have some in my pack from the past." So, Aragorn went in search for his pack, King Theoden and Eomer left as well, looking and tending to the wounded and the dead. Eowyn and Gimli went to tell an uninjured man to send a message to Lord Elrond regarding Legolas and his health. Gandalf chanted some spells to sooth Legolas' pains, while Aragorn was making the athelas potion. When Aragorn was done, he went to Legolas, holding him up; carefully trying his best not to touch his wounds or cause them to start bleeding again. Legolas stirred, and moaned in pain; Aragorn looked to his pale face, noticing that Legolas' face was scrunched up definitely in pain. Then, Aragorn whispered, "Legolas, I know that you can hear me, I have an athelas potion that you need to drink so that the orc poison in your body will disintegrate. Understand? If you don't drink this, you will surely die by the end of tonight. Now, this is going to taste really, REALLY, bitter and disgusting, but it will help you, so open your mouth, and swallow it as best you can. It is not hot, nor is it cold, it is warm. So, open your mouth." Legolas nodded, and opened his mouth; Aragorn poured the potion into Legolas' mouth, bit by bit, Legolas scrunched his face up to the bitter taste of the potion, but obediently drank it all. He didn't know who it was that was giving the potion to him, he felt like he knew the man, Legolas thought it sounded like Aragorn. 'No, it can't be.can it? I thought I killed Aragorn because I failed to shoot that damned orc, and the wall blew up, he was in the explosion.wasn't he? Didn't I fail you, Aragorn? Oh, please forgive me.I didn't mean to.I don't know what happened to my aim that time.' Legolas thought. Then, he heard that man speak again, 'He sounds so much like Aragorn, my friend.' He said, "Now, can you open your eyes, Legolas? Just a bit? I need you to look at me so that I can tell you something very important." Legolas struggled to open his eyes, finally, he opened his eyes, just enough to see that the man who gave him the athelas potion was indeed Aragorn, and beside Aragorn was Gandalf. 'Aragorn! I did not kill you! I have not failed you! Oh, thank the Valar! And, that's.Mithrandir! He has come as well! I am glad.' Legolas thought. Legolas opened his mouth to speak, but instead of speaking with a steady voice, he found himself whispering to Aragorn, saying, "My friend, Estel.you live! I thought I had killed you when I failed to kill that orc who set off the.explosion! I saw you, your body was right in front of me.motionless.breathless.unconscious. I also see that Mithrandir is with you, all is well then? If there is something ill amongst us, please, you must tell me!" Aragorn smiled, yet he was confused, he replied, "I am fine, Legolas, no, of course you did not kill me, I was only unconscious for a few minutes. The explosion only shocked me, that's all and please, do not feel that you are guilty for the deaths of the explosion, if you are. It is not your fault my friend, it is the Uruk's fault, it is the one that set off the explosion, not you. Even if you killed that Uruk, the other Uruk soldiers would also attempt to set off the bomb in the wall. So, do not be grieved. We have victory, Legolas, and yes, Mithrandir is right here, he came at dawn, and brought 400 strong men to defend Helms Deep. We won, Legolas, we won! Everyone is fine, Gimli is alright as well, we both only have a few cuts and bruises. Not as serious as your wounds are. Haldir has set off to Lorien to tell Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn about your condition, I assume that they will worry about you, and they may come in a day or so. Gimli and Lady Eowyn went to send a messenger off to Rivendell to tell Lord Elrond about your condition as well, I assume that he will also arrive in a day or two. Do not worry, my friend, you will be in perfect health when they are finished healing you. Although I will not lie to you, Legolas, your wounds are serious, and there is still some orc poison in your blood, I am also convinced that something else has befallen you. Whether it is your grief or some other poison that is affecting you, I do not know.we will have to wait. But until then, Legolas, you must get your rest, and if the darkness and the shadow come to you, you must fight them, Legolas, you must use your conscience to fight them, and defeat them, as we have defeated the Uruks in the war of Helms Deep. Do you understand? I do not want you to die, Legolas, you are an elf, supposedly immortal, I should not die after you, do you understand?" Legolas nodded, and he promised that he would fight the darkness tugging at his heart, then, he felt weary, and unconsciousness fall upon him once again.
A/N: Sorry if it's a boring chapter.cause it's mostly about talk, hehe, I promise that the next one will be better! R/R PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
