Chapter 15
Elladan jumped up at the noise. His feet were running almost before they hit the floor. Grabbing his bow and quiver from the bedpost he ran to get Elrohir. He did not have to run far as Elrohir met him in the hall. As he turned to speak to Elrohir a second sound pierced the air. It was a sound he never wished to hear again.It was the same gut wrenching sound he had heard from Thranduil the day before. He ran to the door thinking Thranduil was once again feeling the heartache from losing his son. He ran to Thranduil's room and almost ran into him as he was running out.
"If it was not you then... who made such a sound."
Thranduil shrugged and all three slowly crept down the stairs. Their steps were light as a feather as not to alert whatever foul beast had made its way into the house. Thranduil's heart sank as he saw two small figures laying on the floor their heads bent down in grief. He had not thought it would affect even the smallest of the House of Elrond.
Elrohir's eyes widened. "Elladan could it be?" he whispered. The words fell to to the wayside as Elladan was in a run to the small figures.
"Estel" he said softly as he lifted the dark head. What he saw was a look of grief like he had not seen in a centuries. This was not the face of his brother, but the face of someone who had suffered for a long time. As he sat holding his brother and sobbing Elrohir ran up the stairs for his father.
Thranduil stood almost glued to the spot. He did not want to believe that his son was alive only to be heartbroken if it was not Legolas. He walked ever so slowly towards the golden headed child and picked him up. What he saw lightened his heart as the sun lightens the day. Legolas turned his tear stained face towards the only member of his family and finally a years worth of tears and hope came flooding out.
"Ada is it really you? I have waited for so long to see you." he said in a whisper.
"My little greenleaf I am here and never again will we be parted." The mighty King of Mirkwood sat down on the floor and cradled his son in his arms and rocked him as he had done when he was but a mere babe.
Elrohir ran, taking the steps two at a time. He flung open the door and what he saw was his father on the floor. "Ada! ... Ada come and see. You have to come Ada."
Elrond looked up from the floor, and Elrohir saw the tear tracks still on his face. "I wish to be alone Elrohir whomever it is tell them to go away. I have only one day left here and wish to spend it remembering your brother." The tears once again fell down his face and his whole body began to shake with the sobs. Elrohir had never seen his father this way and he knew he was dying from despair. With a sudden thought a smile lit up his whole face and he turned to his father. "As you wish Ada."
He ran back down the stairs and saw Thranduil rocking Legolas back and forth and Elladan trying to comfort Estel. Estel was wiggling in his arms silently begging to just see his father. Elrohir approached them and laid a comforting hand on his brother. Estel gave him a small smile, but it was hidden behind the tears.
"Ro I want to see Ada. Did he leave, is he not here?" he said with a trembling chin.
Elrohir looked at the others. "Ada can not come down to greet you Estel, shall we all go up to him." Estel did not understand his father's grief and he did not know the depair he was feeling, but the others did, especially Thranduil. Elladan picked up Estel and Thranduil cradled the still teary faced Legolas in his arms and the four climbed the stairs to Elrond.
Elladan opened the door but Elrond did not heed the sound. He sat mumbling to himself. "Estel I am so sorry my son. Wherever you are know that your Ada loves you, and that I tried to find you." He then fell back into a huddled mass on the floor. The Lord of Imladris sat there with his knees pulled up, hugging a tunic to him. Elladan set a very woozy Estel on his feet and stepped back. Estel very silently made his way over to his father and began to stroke his hair.
"Elladan hannon le, but nothing can quench the heartache I feel right now. I have lost something more precious than life itself, I have lost my son." His words grew silent as he felt a tear fall on his hands. He looked up to give his son a comforting word, but as his eyes turned to face Elladan he instead saw Estel standing there.
"Ada, I am sorry for being gone. Do not leave me." Estel sobbed uncontrolably now. "Ada I am sorry please do not go, stay here with me." he begged.
Elrond felt his heart lift as high as the sky. His Estel, his reason for being some days was standing here, in front of him. Was this a dream or was he in fact there? Very carefully he placed a hand on his cheek to wipe away the tears. He then jumped to his feet and grabbed Estel and swung him around. "MY Estel, my hope has returned to me!" He looked up to see Thranduil and the others standing in the doorway. Thranduil held Legolas tightly in his arms.
"My friend, Illuvitar has shined down on us tonight and brought us the greatest gifts of all, our sons home at last." he then gathered the still crying child in his arms.
"Nothing will ever make me leave you Estel. I shall be here for all of your days on this earth.
Tears, a whole year of tears; of anguish past seen and felt and of a new love of life. A thousand tears fell that night in the room, but now they were tears of joy and they did nothing to hide or hinder the flood. Estel and Legolas had cried themselves to sleep in their father's arms. Not wanting to leave them for even one minute they all laid right down on the floor of the room. A few minutes later Gandalf appeared in the room and saw the huddle of elves and went to the bed and pulled the blankets from it and covered them up.
"Sleep well for all is right in Middle Earth once more." and he left the room.
Hmmmm so the wizard thinks all is well Runs before he finds out all is not what it seems just yet.
