Chapter 5
As he neared the gates he yelled for help. He was exhausted. Erestor and several other healers ran to his side and grabbed Estel as Elrond's knees began to buckle. Elladan and his brother were close behind and Glorfindel then appeared with the prince. As the last of the other elven fighters came into view Erestor and the other healers knew this was to be a long night. Elrond finally catching his breath looked to Erestor.
"Come, we must save Estel and Legolas." With this the family ran inside and up to the healing ward.
Estel and Legolas lay on the beds. All life seemed to be drained from the two. Elrond quickly accessed them both. Legolas had a gash upon his head and his back was lined with lash marks. You could not tell where one stopped and the next one began.
Estel had the same marks upon his back. However the deep stab wounds were what worried him most. He quickly went to work on the pair and was secretly glad they had passed out. Many bandages and stitches later the elf lord slumped into a chair. Exhaustion had taken hold of him. He still in his warrior garb slipped into slumber ever vigil should one waken.
Legolas tried to waken. He could hear birds singing and thought perhaps he had passed into the Halls of Mandos. He soon realized this was not so when he finally opened his eyes. The pain from his injuries made him shudder. At once a thought struck him and he sat straight up in the bed. "Estel."
He looked over to his friend who laid in the next bed. Was he alright? He has to be Legolas thought as he slung his legs over the bed. As he stood the room spun. He did not care however and staggered to his friend. As he reached the other bed he took the table down with him as he collapsed on the bed.
The loud clatter awoke Elrond and the twins ran in through the door. All looked to Legolas who was shaking Estel.
"Estel say something....please Estel. Tears that had brimmed in his eyes now fell down his face. Elrond went to the distraught elf to comfort him.
"Estel... please talk to me!" Legolas cried still shaking the man.
"Get off me then." came the whisper from Estel.
Legolas looked to his friend as his eyes opened. At once he wrapped his arms around him and hugged him tight.
"Thank Valar, Estel, you are alive!"
Estel and Legolas then noticed the elf lord and twins watching the little scene as it unfolded.
"Legolas, would you like to return to your bed now?" Elrond asked
Legolas answered him by scooting closer to Estel.
"Very well then, but could you tell us now why you would ever reveal who you are to those dreadful creatures."
Legolas looked to Estel and he gave his arm a squeeze and nodded.
"Well, Estel and I made a vow. I vowed my life to protect him and he for I."
"Yes, but to tell orcs of your identity? Elladan questioned.
"Yes, even if it took that. I would give my life for Estel."
Estel shook his head agreeing with the elf.
"I can see the bond of your friendship runs deep," Elrond stated. "Why and how this came about only the Valar know, but I trust it will last a lifetime."
As evening had set on The House of Elrond the elf lord went to check on the two patients. Both lay sleeping now peaceful and quiet. Elrond approached the bed and almost burst out laughing. His son did indeed mean his vow to Legolas, for he had given him his most valuable possession. As he pulled the covers up over them Legolas turned over still clutching Estel's childhood stuffed bunny Elhare.
Elrond took one final look at the two, and he knew as long as Estel was with Legolas he would be alright. The question why had been answered. It was simply that they had made a vow that only death itself could break. Elrond closed the door and was glad his son had found a friend that would be there when he could not.
Thanks again! See some of you at Never Tell's next update! and maybe some others when I post new fic!
Namaarie!
