Elrond opened his gray storm eyes, and searched around him. All he saw was
beauty. Pure and gold beauty, of trees and green leaves. Trees surrounded
him. Everywhere his eyes wandered there were tall thick trees. They were
the color of fall. Beautiful orange, gold, and even some light greens
shown on the tall giants. Elrond sighed contently. No pain. He felt no
pain, and remembered none for the moment.
He felt like he was in the best dream in the world. Elrond glanced around at the palace of trees surrounding him. He felt so great. So relaxed, without a care.
He took in a heavy breath of sweet air. So, this is what Heaven is like....Elrond though to himself. He felt like he could just walk on water.
He could hear the birds singing joyfully and the waterfall rushing. He grinned to himself.
He had no clue as to where he was, but he didn't care. It was sheer bliss. Elrond yawned lazily and started to sit up. Rubbing his tired eyes, he stood up slowly and walked straight ahead. Not really sure where, but just to see something different.
Unfortunately, this is the point where our young half-elven learns that not only was he was surrounded by trees, but was in one. And that the dream would soon become a nightmarish reality.
Elrond plummeted towards the bottom of the woods, caught by complete surprise. He wasn't tired anymore just scared out of his mind as he fell freely. He tried to find his hiding voice, as his mind screamed in utter fear at the bottom he couldn't even see (due to the mass amount of leaves in the trees). He passed out of the forest of leaves, and finally saw where the ground met. Water! Elrond slammed into the rushing water; side first, to make a very painful entrance into the icy liquid.
He sputtered and began to make a vain attempt to reach the surface as he flailed his arms around uselessly. He was in shock, and could not concentrate on anything. When the current had carried him a small ways, Elrond finally tasted air.
"Wha!!" Was all he could spit out as he tried to catch anyone's attention.
Fortunately enough, a broad blonde elf had been out hunting for deer, when he saw the most unusual sight.
He had seen Elrond fall into the water sideways. And, it's not everyday you see an elf plummet from a tree in Lothlorien. The elf disappeared under the current, but the blonde elf had trailed the drowning elf, by watching bubbles now and then come up to the surface.
When Elrond had finally surfaced, the elf ran to the shore and leaped into the water. Elrond couldn't see any other elf, but felt someone grab his neck and drag him backwards to shore.
The elf pulled Elrond on to the green hedgy edge of land. Elrond sputtered and coughed, still feeling as if he were under some sort of high spell. The blonde elf tilted his head at him. Staring at him confused. Who was this new elf? He knew that he had been rescued at the slavery prison, but had never laid eyes on him.
This dirty haired gray-eyed elf didn't even look like......wait ......an elf?
The blonde elf moved some hair from the exhausted half-elven's ear, to reveal an elven ear. The estranged elf backed away some from Elrond's limp body, who in which the only slightest up and down motion of his chest could be detected as life.
The elf wondered about this elf. He had never seen an elf look so....... beaten. Weary and beaten emotionally...not too mention physically as well. And, even at a certain angle, he looked more man than elf.
The blonde elf shook his head, and decided the smartest thing would be to bring him to Galadriel. But he couldn't do it himself. The place was up the river, where the elf had fallen. He lifted Elrond up onto his back, and carried him to the nearest trunk. He called up the tree and heard another voice. A ladder came down, and two more elves rushed to his aid.
