Firniswin: I know I know I didn't hurry sorry about that.
Fantasia3: That's cool don't worry I understand why you did what you did. (
Arabella thorne: Right you are! Poor Estel is in no shape at all to help..but don't worry he's got all the help that he is going to need.at least for the time being.
MaverickGirl:Don't worry the people of the North will have there help soon enough.
Chapter 6
The remainder of the meeting had not gone well, Aragorn's elven family was upset to learn that he had let someone knew his secret. When they had always told him that it was unsafe to let anyone know. Aragorn had tried to explain but every time he tried he was cut off with anger. Now not only was Estel in danger but now all of Rivendell was as well, for they had raised him. To make matters worse they knew nothing of the enemy, what he wanted or what he would do to get what he wanted.
"Gandalf has he been taken?"
"I'm afraid he has.Hiram tried to get him back, but the group was lost to him before he could save Amond."
Aragorn muttered a few choice elven words under his breath.
"Will he talk?"
"We do not know.. he knows that your secret is sacred and that the hope of the race of men depends on it.. however, he is one of the weaker ones. We don't know is his resolve will hold up to torture.."
"How is it that he knows your secret Estel?"
Elladan cut into the conversation,
"I was wounded and the rangers brought me to the town to seek medical care for me. I had a high fever and I started to ramble in my dreams.Amond over heard me one night.as I screamed for my father and mother, I was delirious and in my dream I saw them die over and over again. Gandalf and several of the rangers went after Amond and made him swear to secrecy, threatening to kill him if he didn't. He promised.though we never did know how much we could actually trust him. Later Amond and I became friends.at least somewhat. That was two years ago.he has kept my secret so far.. But as they say we cannot be sure if he will talk. There are some, like the men in my company that would die before they let an enemy know who I am. Amond knows the perils of my secret, as he knows that the hope of our race rests on my shoulders.even if I do not want the power that is waiting for me. He knows that if I were to be found the race of men would have no hope at all, however he might value his own life more than that of everyone else's."
Elrond sighed; he stood and came up behind Aragorn..
"Gandalf I will send several of my soldiers as well as the twins to go with you and the Rangers to scout around The Crossing of Erul, to see if you can pick up traces of the enemy. I will also send soldiers and healers to the villagers up north to see if they can be healed I ask that when you have more to report you come back here and let Aragorn and I know."
He paused and looked at the prince.
"Legolas you are free to go with either group which do you prefer?"
"I will stay here in Rivendell your grace.someone needs to stay and help you look after Estel."
Aragorn wanted to argue back but he had just gotten back into Elrond good graces not only an hour before so he sighed.once again he was being treated like a child.
Several of the Rangers looked upset that their leader would not be joining them. Understanding their emotions Aragorn stepped forward.
"I know several of you are wondering why I do not lead you to The Crossing of Erul. But if Amond has spoken and the enemy knows of my identity I would only be putting all of you in further danger.I ask that you go with my brothers and Gandalf and search for the enemy and the taken ones.When I receive word, I will figure out what to do, at that time. We will free our people.of that I promise you all. Now take some rest for in the morning you must be swift."
Legolas marveled Aragorn, one day he would make a great king of men.
******************
When the Rangers had left, Aragorn turned to his family, Legolas, and Gandalf.
" I know that you are disappointed that Amond knows of my secret and because of that Rivendell has been put in danger, but I want you all to know that I will turn myself over to the enemy before I let anything happen to Rivendell. I love you all to much to allow anything to happen to you."
"We know that you do Aragorn, but we would never, could never ask you to turn yourself over to the enemy to save us. If a fight is going to happen we are going to be with you all the way."
Nodding Aragorn turned to Gandalf,
"Be careful out there, my friend.I would not like to lose you over such a thing." "Aragorn, I am much older than you.I have been taking care of my self much longer than you have known me.do not fear for my safety young one.I will be fine. You just worry about yours and don't go anywhere alone. Swallow your pride and allow someone to accompany you where ever you go."
Nodding Aragorn shook Gandalf's hand before turning to go.
Looking back over his shoulders as he walked away, Aragorn smiled at what he saw, his family, Legolas and Gandalf making plans for his safety. Shaking his head, Aragorn continued on to his chamber, he would miss them. Aragorn had meant what he had said earlier, he would die before he let harm come to his family and friends, though Elrond had said that they were with him. He knew that they could and possibly would get harmed if a battle was to accrue and he wasn't about to let that happen. he would leave as soon as the word of the enemy had come.
With plans made Aragorn settled down on a bench outside on the balcony. Taking in the world around him, wanting to remember his home for the years to come, if there were to be years to come. His mind was made up he would find the enemy and trade his life for that of the people. And hopefully during the process of he would rid middle earth of the enemy. Taking a deep breath he closed his eyes, knowing sleep would soon come he prepared himself for the dream. Needing to know all the information that the dream had to offer.
**********************
Elrond watched sadly as his young human son walked away. He loved and cherished the boy more than any elf ever had loved a man. Aragorn was his pride and joy.
"Are you with us my friend?" Gandalf questioned noticing that Elrond was no longer paying attention to him as he spoke of his plans.
"What? Oh sorry Gandalf my mind wondered off."
Legolas followed Elrond's line of vision, looking up just as Aragorn turned back around and continued to walk away. He smiled, oh how he loved the young human he would go to the ends of middle earth for him.
"He's going to leave us."
Startled Legolas turned to look at Lord Elrond, his surprise however was short lived in his heart he knew that Elrond was right. Aragorn would leave and there would be nothing that they could do to stop him. Even if they could stop him for the time being one day he would leave. Swallowing hard Legolas tried not to think about, the day that he would lose Aragorn. Standing he excused him self and headed towards his friends chamber.for the time being he would protect his friend against whatever was to come across his path.
********************
Legolas entered Aragorn's room only moments after Aragorn had fallen asleep. Hearing cries he rushed out onto the balcony and found Aragorn tossing and turning on the bench locked in a nightmare. Reaching out a gentle head he tried to wake his terrified friend. Yet Aragorn wouldn't wake up. Legolas shook Aragorn harder, but still the young human wouldn't wake. Getting concerned now, Legolas slapped Aragorn's face trying to snap him out of the dream, yet it didn't work Aragorn just cried out louder. Scooping the child up into his arms Legolas carried him inside and laid him down on his bed, tucking the blanket around him to keep him warm before he took off down the hall to summon Elrond and Gandalf to come look at Aragorn.
