It had been two days since the accident and Legolas was near to full health again. The only lingering signs of his collapse was his need to frequently rest and this could have easily been due to the children within him.

Legolas's father kept trying to talk to Legolas and tell him that Aragorn my not wake up, but Legolas kept insisting that given time Aragorn would return.

Gandalf called a meeting in Thranduils study. He asked Legolas Thranduil and Gimli to meet him there but to not tell anyone else. Gimli literally had to force Legolas to leave the slumbering king so they could go.

"I have asked you here to tell you something disturbing. This news must not go any further until I decided how to solve this. Thranduil you are to emotionally involved to make this decision so I must. The wound that Aragorn received was not caused by a spider, but by a knife being roughly stabbed into him twisted and removed."

The room fell into silence and Legolas gave a strangled sob. Gimli placed his hand on Legolas's arm and tried to comfort the distraught pregnant elf. "But who on Middle Earth would do such a thing. It risks the wrath of both Gondor and Mirkwood." Thranduil seemed utterly confused and worried for his son.

Gandalf did not reply immediately. "The other thing is that the herbs needed to create the poison used to place Aragorn in this deep sleep are only available by permission of a member of the royal family." Gandalf trailed off knowing what this meant to the King

"You mean that one of my sons did this. But that is impossible why would they." The four sat and talked each knowing that the coming weeks would be a trial for all.

Else where in the castle Drowlin sat. He knew that if Aragorn awakened he would be either killed or exiled. His brother had awoken from his faint sure that Aragorn would awaken and this had stopped him fading from grief. If losing his Husband id not kill his spirit then killing his children surely would.

Drowlin began to plot.

In the evening Legolas was sitting in his favourite tree in the garden. His naneth had always brought him here and his Adar after she had died.

"I thought I would find you here." Lomion walked up to the tree and jumped up to join his baby brother in the branches. "It has been years since you needed the comfort of this tree." Lomion ran his hand over Legolas silky hair and pulled the younger elf back to rest on his chest.

They talked for awhile about nothing of any importance simply memories of younger years and plans for their lives.

"Lomion what if he does not come back. What if he finds something better to hold him where he is|?" Legolas had always looked up to his brother and his opinion meant so much to him.

"Las why would he stay when he has you to come back to. You carrying his children and he will not leave them or you because he loves you." Using the nickname that he had not used in several centuries made Legolas feel like an elfling again.

Legolas smiled and leant further back to his brother and replied "Your right. I love him and I must simply wait for him." The two stayed there for a while longer before descending the tree. With Lomions arm wrapped around his brother the pair walked slowly back to the palace. Once inside Legolas requested that they visit their old play room. It had not been used in centuries but Legolas always remembered all of his older brothers coming and playing silly games with him. It made him feel safe.

They entered and Lomion was not surprised to see, Elardion, Nolvo and Alcarnor already in there. "It is like old times." Legolas laughed and went to sit on a chair not feeling up to sitting and trying to raise form the floor in his current condition.

Elardion started to talk "Legolas we know that Aragorn was stabbed and we know that Father and Gandalf suspect us."

Legolas looked shocked to hear them say this. "Did you forget little brother that I am also a healer I could tell that it was not a spider wound as soon as Lomion found him." Elardion smiled and went over to his brother hugging him. "I promise that none of us did this. And if we did not that only leaves one who it could have been."

"But why would he do that. Drowlin has nothing to gain from killing Aragorn." Legolas did not know why but it did not feel right to defend him.

All five brothers knew that Drowlin had never felt much love towards Legolas. He had blamed him for turning his family against him when he had managed that all by himself in the way he treated Legolas.

Drowlin had blamed little Legolas for killing their mother. The Queen of Mirkwood had been killed in an Orc attack, whilst she was on a picnic with the elfling.

"He hopes to cause me grief so that I will fade, by taking away the thing that I love mot in this world, My Estel. He will take away my Estel." Legolas started to sob. "Why does he hate me so?"

From the doorway an answer came. "Because in his eyes everything that has happened in his life is your fault."
