Chapter Five-Arrivals, Awakening, and a New Friend
~~~Five Days Later~~~
"Lord Celeborn, Lady Galadriel, Haldir, and other elves arrive from Lorien." Said a soldier to Aragorn.
"Good, please ask someone to serve as an escort and lead them to the healing room." answered Aragorn. 'Ah, my prayers are finally answered! Legolas, you will get through this, I know it!' he thought. Then, another man rushed in and said, "Lord Elrond, one of our men, and two other elves approach from Rivendell."
"Perfect, please ask someone to serve as an escort and take them to the healing room." answered Aragorn once again. 'Legolas, you've got the three most powerful elves in Middle-Earth to help you!' then, Aragorn rushed off to find Gimli and Gandalf to go to the healing room where Legolas sleeps. When King Theoden heard of the arrivals, he immediately went to greet the royal elves, for he did not want to be disrespectful and rude.
~~~*~~~
All of the elves from Lorien and Rivendell dismounted their horses, and started to greet each other, until three men approached them.
"It is a pleasure to meet all of you! I am Theoden, King of Rohan, you must forgive me, I have not had so many elves in my kingdom before, ever since the war.and even then, I haven't seen the elves up close. But let us forget about the war for now, I welcome all of you with open arms."
"It is a pleasure to meet you, King Theoden, I am Celeborn, Lord of Lorien, she is Galadriel, the Lady of the woods of Lothlorien and Lorien. That is Elrond, Lord of Rivendell, and his twin sons, Elladan and Elrohir. Please, we have heard ill news of Legolas Greenleaf, and wish to see him."
"Yes, ill news indeed, I believe Prince Legolas is resting in a healing room, this is Olmar and Hathim. They will guide you to the room where Legolas sleeps." Replied King Theoden, then he bowed, and the other elves all bowed slightly in turn. Then they all left, walking through the paths and halls of rock and stone.
~~~*~~~
Once Lady Galadriel, Lord Celeborn, Haldir, the other Lorien elves, Lord Elrond, Elladan, Elrohir, Gandalf, Aragorn, and Gimli were all in Legolas' room, they discovered that Legolas had been awake before, but fell unconscious again shortly after. Then, Lord Elrond immediately checked Legolas' body for wounds. Once his task was completed, he sighed.
"Legolas.his physical wounds will heal in time, his arrow wounds are healing slower, and the poison still flows inside of his body. I do not know what kind of poison it is, it must be a new devilry of Saruman. His leg is healing as well, but he may not have the ability to walk and run with the same gracefulness as before, until his strength is fully restored. Legolas' heart does not beat regularly, and he is deeply troubled. He doesn't sleep peacefully, and I fear for him.he needs to be strong enough to fight the growing darkness inside of him! If he loses to the darkness, he will die, if not, be asleep eternally. I do not know how we will be able to help him, lest he awakens."
"Legolas is a strong elf, stronger and wiser beyond his age, and he will be able to fight the darkness, I know that he will refuse to give in.although I do not know how long he will last. Darkness tends to.break peoples spirit and soul.it takes more effect with elves as well. We need to find out what grieves Legolas so much, and help him." Lady Galadriel said. Everyone sighed, and looked at Legolas with sad, disappointed and sad eyes.
"I have killed Legolas then.I destroyed his very soul! It is all my fault! Forgive me, Legolas, it should be me! I should've died! You should've left me to die!" Haldir cried.
"What are you talking about? What happened?" yelled Elladan.
"Legolas saved me from a Uruk-hai who was going to put an axe to my back. But Legolas rushed in and killed it, but I know not how Legolas ended up behind the wall!" Haldir replied. Elladan sighed.
"Then I am truthfully sorry for my harsh tone, Haldir, you did not do anything wrong, Haldir. Legolas did what anyone would've done for you. No one wants to see anyone dead Haldir, especially not you nor Legolas." Said Elladan. Suddenly, a moan escaped the lips of the sleeping form of Legolas. Everyone's heads snapped to Legolas, and Aragorn noticed, out of the corner of his eye, that one of the she-elves rushed out of the room. 'Why did she leave? Does she not want to see Legolas alive and awake? She seems so familiar.where have I seen her before?' Aragorn thought. Then, reluctantly, he turned his attention back to Legolas, who seemed to be trying to open his eyes. Once Legolas' eyes were open, and had adjusted to the sunlight glowing around the room, Legolas stared at everyone for a moment.
"Why is everyone here? So many people." then, Legolas' vision blurred a bit, and threatened to consume him with darkness once again, but he fought, and sure enough, remained conscious.
"Do you want some water? Food? Anything?" asked Gimli. But Legolas shook his head.
"I am fine, Gimli, thank you for your generosity. But why is everyone here? Lady Galadriel, Lord Celeborn, Lord Elrond, Elladan, Elrohir, wow! Now just add my father into the picture, and here are the most powerful and important elves in all of Middle-Earth!" Legolas said, trying to lighten up the mood. Unfortunately, Legolas just felt more uncomfortable under the worrying stares of his friends.
"We are all here to help you, Legolas, your wounds have been tended to, and are healing slowly, and I will not keep anything away from you, my friend, but there is an unidentified poison coursing through your veins! Also, do not deny it, Legolas, but something troubles you greatly, and you have to tell someone about it, or your sorrow will devour your very soul!" urged Elrohir. Legolas' eyes dimmed a bit, as if a shadow had just passed his mind, and turned his head to the side, towards the window-hole, closing his eyes tightly.
"You are correct as always.I will not deny it, for I know that you would see right through me. Something does grieve me terribly, but I am not ready to say what it is yet. But I will tell one of you.soon.very soon, I hope. For dying is not what I would like to do before the fall of Sauron and the destruction of the ring. Now please, I do not mean to be rude, I appreciate your kindness and help, but I am weary, and I wish to rest. Please leave, and I am eternally grateful to all of you." Legolas said softly. Everyone sighed and nodded their heads, looking at Legolas with pitying eyes, slowly walking out of the room. Not a word was said, and they all just headed off to their different directions to their resting rooms, deep in thought. But Aragorn chose to wander around, thinking of how he will ask Legolas to tell him his problem. Suddenly, Aragorn stopped, he could see a cloaked figure standing high on the walls of Helms Deep, the figure's back facing Aragorn.
"You mustn't stand up there, there is always a chance of falling and accidents. Come, step down from there, and introduce yourself please." Aragorn said. The figure turned around, hood still covered her face, making Aragorn unable to see the person's face, jumped off the wall. Stood one foot away from Aragorn. Aragorn frowned, and tried to look under the person's hood, but failed.
"I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn, I came to help defend Helms Deep from the war. I have not seen you here before, do you come with the Lord and Lady from Lorien, or with Lord Elrond from Rivendell?"
"I see, I am Larawyn, I am a wanderer, I came with the Lord and Lady from Lorien. I had encountered them in the forest, and thought that they were enemies, I almost shot one of the elves, if it wasn't for Lady Galadriel, who called out to me, and stopped me. Lady Galadriel told me to follow her because I might be of service to her. Reluctantly, I followed, and I was there when General Haldir informed us of Gandalf's revival and the condition of Le- Prince Legolas. So, I came to see what terrible thing has ailed the Prince of Mirkwood."
"I am surprised, for I hear that your voice belongs to a woman, then surely, you are an elf, because only an elf could try to ambush a band of other elves without them noticing. Are you going to have me talk to a black figure, or will you put down your hood so I can see your fair face.?" The she-elf hesitated, then Aragorn could see the figures lips moving, as if muttering something. Then, she pulled down the hood. Aragorn gasped in shock, he could see indeed, that the figure was definitely a she-elf. Larawyn had pointy ears, blond hair, which seemed to float in the air because of the soft wind, she was tall, had blue eyes, had a slim figure, and the she-elf in front of him somehow reminded Aragorn of Legolas and Arwen. For Larawyn had the face-shape, the eyes, and the soft, blond hair of Legolas, and the beauty and elegance of Arwen. But deep down in the heart of Aragorn, he knew that Arwen was more beautiful than Larawyn (but then again, that's what every man in love would think of their lover). Suddenly, a thought came up in his mind, he thought of his friend and pretend sister from long ago, Lenna, he did not know what had happened to her. It was as if she just disappeared into thin air, she was never seen, nor heard of, he remembered how much Legolas and Lenna loved each other. And how much Legolas despaired for her disappearance, then he thought, 'Could it be? Could it be because Legolas is still grieved for her? I must talk to Legolas about it, then.even if I had not known Lenna as long as Legolas has known her, Lenna is my best friend, and my sister.'
"Es- Lord Aragorn, are you ill? Lord Aragorn?" Aragorn thought he heard his elvish name, but shook it off.
"Wha, oh! I am terribly sorry.I just remembered an old friend.her name is Lenna. She just disappeared one day, and I have not seen her since. She was always so kind and nice, I loved her as my very best friend, and my own sister. Lenna always treated me as her best friend and younger brother. I miss her terribly." Aragorn looked at Larawyn, and he swore that he just saw Larawyn look at him with sad and pitying eyes.the eyes that were much like Lenna's.
"You must excuse me, Lord Aragorn, but I am weary, and I wish to rest. So I must take my leave."
"Yes, of course, it must have been a long trip, by all means, you are certainly excused." As Larawyn turned around, and was going to walk but into the fortress, Aragorn called.
"But please, will you come with me to visit Legolas? I am sure that he will cheer up if he made a new friend, as have I.do you consider me as a friend? And please, do not call me Lord Aragorn, just Aragorn is just great."
"Yes.Aragorn.I do consider you as a friend, and I am glad to have already met a new friend. I will accompany you to visit Prince Legolas, I am not sure if he will be happy to see me, but I will. I would like to meet him.and Master Gimli perhaps. He seems like a good person."
"Great. Gimli is a great person with lots of humour! Please meet me in the dining hall when the sun is high, and the wind blows softly. Haha, I know not what that means, but I have heard of it.please meet me in the dining hall during breakfast. I am sure Gimli and Gandalf would welcome you warmly and befriend you. Until then, have a good night, Lady Larawyn."
"Thank you, Aragorn, and please, just Larawyn is fine.have a good rest, Aragorn. Good bye."
