Chapter 9
The story continues. . .
"They are back, together with Legolas." Glorfindel told his lord.
Elrond nodded. "Any injuries?" he asked though already knowing the answer.
"Yes. Isn't it obvious?" Elrond's advisor answered.
Elrond smiled, "Bring them ALL to the healing wing when they get here. I will be waiting there," and left the room.
//hours ago. . .//
"You didn't wake me up." Estel accused his brother.
"I tried, but you didn't wake. You were sleeping so soundly." Elladan cut across him.
Estel opened his mouth to argue but stopped when he heard Legolas moan in his sleep next to him. As he bent down to take a look at his injured friend, he noticed sweat drops that were formed on Legolas's forehead.
Wiping the sweat away, Aragorn realized that Legolas's fever had gone up a lot since he had last checked the day before. "He is burning!" he exclaimed.
"The sooner we get him to ada the better. The poison in him is spreading. If we ride hard we should reach home by midday. I think we better leave now. Estel, go wake Legolas up."
//present. . .//
"No, I am fine. Really. . ." Legolas protested.
Lord Elrond was patient. "Do you have any idea how pale you are Legolas?"
"No. Maybe its cause I didn't drink enough water." He quickly made up.
"Yeah, and if you were find, why are you burning, look so pale and didn't even have the strength to climb the stairs just now?" Aragorn added.
Elrond smiled at his son.
"I-" before he even could argue, he felt a wave of dizziness hit him. He stumbled, falling forward, Elrond and Aragorn quickly caught him. "Legolas?" Aragorn asked uncertainly.
"Unconscious." Elrond muttered. "Lie him on the bed. I will go get my stuff."
Aragorn did as his father told him to.
Fifteen minutes later, Elrond had checked through Legolas's injuries, which turned out to be terrible, and bandaged them. "How come its so bad Estel? The wounds are infected, especially the one on his shoulder."
"I had no idea ada. After fighting the orcs, I was so worried about the wound in his stomach I forgot all about the one in his shoulder until I found that Legolas was having a fever." Estel replied guiltily.
Elrond sighed. "Do you know anything about the poison?"
"Not much. What Legolas has told me so far is that it makes him feel nausea and retch out everything he eats. I think it makes him dizzy too. He also said that the poison was different from the normal ones they use."
"Call me when he wakes up." Elrond left the room.
Aragorn sat beside Legolas. He was looking rather peaceful sleeping with his eyes closed.
//Bad sign. Elves don't normally sleep with their eyes closed.//
It was hours later when Legolas awoke. Both good and bad. When he awoke he burst into a coughing fit all of a sudden. It startled Aragorn. He was standing at the balcony watch the trees when he heard Legolas coughing.
Rushing back into the room, Aragorn saw Legolas coughing badly, face filled with pain and agony. Patting Legolas's back, he called out to his father. "Adar!"
Elrond quickly ran into the room upon hearing Aragorn's cry, with his twin sons at his heels, also attracted by Aragorn's call. All watched but could not do anything as Legolas coughed. It took a while for Legolas's cough to smooth.
"Legolas, are you alright?" Aragorn asked, voice filled with worry and concern for his friend.
Legolas nodded.
"Here." Elladan passed Legolas a glass of water. Legolas took the water, with both hands, as he felt too weak to use only one hand. Unfortunately (for him), his shaking hands were noticed by Aragorn. "Stop lying. Look, your hand, especially your injured hand is shaking so badly. Wait, let me help you." "No need." Legolas replied rather coldly.
To prove Aragorn wrong, Legolas held the glass up and drank. It wasn't long before his struggling hands gave way. The glass fell onto the floor and shattered into pieces.
"Legolas stop being stubborn."
