Under the Early Sun
Chapter 6
Healing
Tareth galloped as fast as he could trying to escape the second party of orcs that had just been waiting for an elf to run. Legolas was fighting hard from his back getting wounds from quick stabs from those below. He neighed painfully as the orcs made slashes at him but Legolas quickly cut them down. Suddenly arrows came flying down around them and he heard Legolas cry out as many hit him just deep enough the make a bad cut and leave it's deadly poison in his system.
"Lindamir!" He screamed before falling back in pain. Elrond quickly got up from his place on the floor, his eyes running over Legolas's trembling body.
"Legolas? Please speak to me," Elrond begged putting a hand to his forehead. Legolas's eyes slowly cracked open and his breathing became a little less harsh.
"Lord…Elrond…? Where? How…? Lindamir! Where is he? He is hurt! I must help him!" Legolas exclaimed once more trying to sit up but was held down by Elrond.
"Easy Legolas. I do not know of who you speak but if they are alive and injured I will have someone find them and they will be brought here. For now I need you to stay still, your injuries are far from healed…" He started to explain when an elf ran into the room breathing heavily.
"Sir! An elf came out of the woods! He is injured badly, we believe him to be a part of the Prince's escort," Faeron panted.
"I will come at once. Now Legolas please take this, it will take your pain away, I will return soon," Elrond told him holding a cup to his lips. Legolas was in too much pain to protest so he opened his mouth and drank the contents. Elrond waited until Legolas's eyes had closed in sleep and then quickly went to the healing rooms where he knew Faeron had taken the injured elf.
*****
Elrond knelt beside the bed that held the elf checking injuries with his eyes and then with his hands. At the touch of his hands the elf's eyes opened and he tried to sit up.
"Easy mellon nin, you are safe," Elrond told him in a clam voice pushing him back down.
"Lord…Elrond…I made it then…I am in Imladris…Legolas…did Prince Legolas make it as well?! Please I must know!" Lindamir exclaimed.
"Yes Legolas is here. He was injured very badly but is now starting to heal, it will be a few more days before he can even sit up. Tell me are all Mirkwood elves this prone to getting hurt? And then denying it?" Elrond questioned as he started mixing different paste to put on the elf's wounds.
"I believe so my lord…" He whispered.
"And you have a name?" Elrond asked.
"Lindamir…" Lindamir replied and then slipped into unconsciousness. Elrond stopped what he was doing and stared at the elf before looking up at the ceiling.
"What was going on? How was it possible that everyone was having dreams about those injured…first Estel and then Legolas…what was next?" He wondered. He called Elladan in to help him with the bandages while he sent Elrohir to stay with Legolas in case he awoke. It took them 3 hours but finally got all of Lindamir's injuries bandaged.

3 hours later…
"Legolas! You're awake! How do you feel?" Elrohir asked grasping his friend's hand.
"Uh…like a balrog stepped on me and then backed up and did it again…" Legolas whispered with a half smile. Elrond and the twins laughed glad that Legolas at least was feeling up to some humor.
"Ada…should I go wake Estel and tell him that Legolas has awoken?" Elladan asked. Elrond was about to answer when Legolas spoke up.
"Elladan please…I do not wish for him to see me like this…" He said quietly. Elladan nodded understanding.
*****
Lindamir listened as Elladan left with Elrond; he had woken just in time to hear Elrohir come in the room exclaiming that Legolas had woken. With a hiss of pain he pushed himself up into a sitting position then sat trying to catch his breath before moving again. He was thankful to Elrond for bandaging all his wounds before leaving but now he needed to go and check on his prince. Pushing himself, he stood and almost cried out in pain as he fell to the floor. Slowly he reached up and took hold of the bed and pulled himself up. Finally after almost falling five more times he made it to the door and out into the hall. Thankful for the happy voices talking down at the end of the hallway he knew that had to be Legolas's room. Leaning against the wall for support he limped to Legolas's room stopping when he came to the door.

"Your wounds are healing nicely but you have lost a fair amount of blood that was replaced with poison. You should take it easy for another few days. After you have recovered you will tell us as to why I found Narya on you," Elrond told him.
"Yes Lord Elrond…please…did any of the others make it to Imladris?" Legolas asked his eyes pleading. Sadness entered Elrond's eyes and he looked to the floor. "My lord?"
"I am the only one as of now my prince…three others survived the attack but I left them in the trees…I pray that they are safe," Lindamir said finally speaking up. All eyes went to him and he smiled slightly at Legolas's shocked look.
"Lindamir! You live! I was so worried! Im nauth le gwann! I saw you fall!" Legolas exclaimed smiling.
"I am here yes…and always will be…" He sighed before passing out and starting to fall forward.
"Lindamir! No!" Legolas yelled and moved to get up only to fall back in pain. Elrohir ran forward and caught Lindamir before he hit the floor.
"Take him back to his room. I will be there momentarily, Legolas you need to stay still if you move to much you will rip your stitches out," Elrond scolded him. He turned to leave when Legolas grabbed his hand.
"Take care of him Lord Elrond…I don't know if I could bear to lose him," Legolas whispered.
"I shall do my best. Now rest," Elrond replied and then left.
