Gil-Galad finally came upon the castle. He was unsure how to approach and
ask about the whereabouts of Lord Celeborn. He rode up to the guard at the
front gate.
"I need to speak to the master of this place it is of great importance," He
said while looking him in the eyes. The guard nodded his head and opened
the gates.
Celeborn watched from the window of the library. Seeing the stranger at the gates " He looks familiar, " he said to himself as he tried to get a closer look. "Who does my love" came a question from behind him. "The elf that just entered through the front gates" Elenu stood there and cursed silently as she saw whom it was. "Come with me my lord, for there is something I wish to show you," she said as she took his arm and led him from the room. She tried to rush him without looking like she was. She led him to a strange room in the back of the castle. ' I want you to try this " she said as she held out a glass to him. "What is it?" he asked, as he looked at her, his inner self-telling him suddenly that something was wrong. She could see his mistrust as she took a step closer "tis only some wine I am thinking of buying. I would like to have your opinion on it" He shook his head and smiled " I am sorry I must still be feeling the after effects from the illness" he said as he took the glass and drank it. He felt the effects of it as soon as he was done with it and glared at her as he sat down to try and regain his thoughts. She smiled as she went over to him and took him in her arms "just rest my love" she whispered to him as he drifted off to sleep.
Gil-Galad stood and waited for the lady of the house. She was taking a long time and he was becoming impatient. Elenu came through the door with a smile on her face. "Why Lord Gil-Galad tis been to long" she said as she bowed slightly to him. He took her hand and kissed it "Aye it has been Elenu. I was not aware you lived here nor did I know this castle was here," he said as he looked at her for answers. " I have been here some time now my lord. Not many know im here and I like it that way. I like my peace and quiet" she grinned "I am sorry for the intrusion my lady but I am looking for a friend of mine that has more then likely meet with foul play. Lord Celeborn of Lorien was visiting my realm when he disappeared. I was wondering if you had heard of any news?" he asked while studying her face. "Nay my lord I have not. But im sure his wife the lady of light will find him so I wouldn't worry myself too much. But if I do hear anything I will let you know" He watched her for a few moments he was sure she knew something. Thank you my lady. I have only one more thing to ask. Tis late and my guards and horses are weary may we rest the night here before we continue our search?" Elenu was caught off guard with his question and before she knew what she was saying she said, " Of course you may stay as long as you wish" She cursed herself yet once again. "I will have my servants show you to your rooms and let you know when dinner is ready" she said as she bowed to him and left the room. He shook his head as she left and turned to Morion the head of his guards. "She is hiding something. I Can feel it" The Guard nodded his head in agreement as the servant showed them to their rooms.
Celeborn woke slowly. His head felt as if it was splitting in two. He opened his eyes slowly to see Elenu smiling at him. "Where am I?" he said in a raspy voice "You are in bed my husband you had a relapse from your illness" she said as she stroked his hair."You must stay in bed a few days the healers insist on it" He let out a sigh as he closed his eyes once more. She chuckled softly as she kissed his forehead and left the room. As soon as the door closed Celeborn stood up and glared at the door. " How dense does she think I am" he growled as he got out of bed and went to the door to find it locked. He paced the room while he tried to think of a way out of the room. Looking to the window he smiled as childhood memories of him sneaking out his window as a child came back to him. He climbed out the window and walked the ledge to the next and went back in the castle. He looked around to make sure no one was around as he made his way through the halls in hopes of finding a way out of this place.
Elenu dropped the tray of food she was caring as she walked back into the room. She ran to the window and saw he had left that way. Running into the halls she found one of her guards and pulled him to her. "My lord is not well and has escaped his room he is very dangerous for the illness is making him mad" she said in a hurried voice " I want him back and I want it done now," she growled. The guard nodded his head and turned to leave as she pulled him back yet once again. "We have guests I don't want them to know of this. I want him alive also if you have to shoot him make sure its in the legs" She watched the guard leave then turned to look for him herself.
Celeborn was walking for what seemed forever until he spotted a main door that looked like it lead the way out. Looking and seeing no one was around he made his way for the door when he felt a pain in his knee. Looking down he saw an arrow pointing out of his leg but couldn't let that stop him as he reached for the door. He felt another twinge of pain in his shoulder as he fell on his good knee. He let out a scream as he pulled out the arrow and plunged it into the guard that approached him. The last thing he remembered was hearing Elenu's voice before he blacked out." I said only in the legs," she said in a angry voice as she pushed the guard out of her way." Take him to his room and make sure he stays there until I get there"
Gil-Galad's head swung around as he heard a scream. He wasn't sure but it sounded like Celeborn as he rushed out of his room and down the halls to see what was going on. He reached the main doors when he saw the blood on the floor. He cursed loudly as he turned to find the lady of the castle.
