The small child stared out the door long after Legolas left in confusion. Estel didn't understand the look of fear that was directed at him.
Elrohir sighed for he knew he could do nothing for his friend. He picked up Estel and put him to bed.
Years later Estel was now 14 years of age. He ran into his father's study.
Elrond smiled at his youngest son. " What can I do for you Estel?"
" Elladan and Elrohir are going hunting can I go with them?" Estel pleaded. The same question he asked every other time his brother's left to hunt.
Elrond laughed in amusement at this ritual. " Very well Estel. This time you may go with them, but be sure to stay close to your brothers."
" Thank you Ada!" Estel ran off in excitement to get ready for the hunt and shortly after joined his brothers.
" Ada finally let you come with us?" Elladan asked with a smile upon his face.
Elrohir said nothing. His face was impassive and something in which he never felt before a feeling of dread and anxiety formed in the pit of his stomach about this hunting trip.
" Ro?" Estel questioned.
Elladan sensed his twins anxiety for the up coming trip. " He's fine Estel just a little on edge for some reason." Elladan reassured his little brother. ' What's wrong Ro?' He asked in the bond they shared.
' Nothing I just have a odd feeling about this trip, and before you say it no it doesn't have to do with Estel.' Elrohir answered in the bond.
Estel followed next to Elrohir. " Ro what is it?"
He didn't respond to his brother for in that moment when they entered Fanghorn forest his sight caught sight of faded dirty blonde hair. Elrohir's heart leapt and he ran towards it. " Legolas?" He questioned in a hopeful tone.
