A/N: a little interesting scene with elrond here. Hope ya'll like it. By the way, everything in Italics is in Elvish.
Chapter 2: Arwen
Arwen, the Elf maiden, immediately she began to figure out what to do about her fallen rescuer. She looked at his wound and took out the arrow. She then searched for something to treat it, but nothing was there. She tore a piece of her gown to bind his shoulder, but that would be little help.
Arwen did see Rolsalen, and brought him over to Aragorn. She whispered some Elvish words in his ear and the horse kneeled down. She gently lifted Aragorn and placed him on the horse. Arwen jumped on behind him and then kicked Rolsalen into a gallop.
An hour or so later, she reached a path and steered Rolsalen on it, prying that her rescuer would still be alive to receive treatment. They rode a little ways, and then the gates of Rivendell stood before them.
"It's Lady Arwen," somebody said and the gate opened. She rode inside. Elrond ran down the steps.
"Arwen," He called to her. Arwen looked at her father, "Father, this man saved my life," She gestured to the wounded Aragorn, "Please help him."
Aragorn awoke in a bright room lying in a bed. He then saw the Elf girl in a chair in front of him. "Where am I?" He questioned, "Who are you?"
She smiled and answered, "You are in the House of Elrond, in Rivendell. I am Arwen, Elrond's daughter."
Aragorn took a long look at the lovely creature before him. Arwen had long, wavy black hair and gorgeous blue eyes. Her clothes consisted of a beautiful red gown that was draped in the Elven fashion. Aragorn also noticed a jeweled pendent she wore around her neck.
Aragorn began to sit up, the pain in his shoulder flowed through him at full force. He placed his hand on his wounded shoulder,
Arwen saw this. "The arrow was poisoned, a high dose in fact. Your wound will take at least a month to mend fully," She informed him.
At that moment, Elrond entered the room. "How is he?" Elrond asked his daughter.
"He appears fine,but in pain. He knows about the poison." She answered. Aragorn was quite curious as to what they were saying.
He remembered how when he was younger he had wished to learn Elvish, now he wished he had.
"Welcome," Elrond said to Aragorn, "I am Elrond. I understand that you saved my daughters life yesterday. Thank you for doing that great act of kindness."
"No need, I was only doing what we Rangers are trained to do," Aragorn told him.
"Who are you?" Elrond asked, "I can see from your appearance that you most definitely are a Ranger, but please tell me who you are."
"I am Aragorn the Dunedain," He replied.
"Is that all you are?" Elrond questioned further with a frown on his face. He appeared to be trying to get Aragorn to say something else.
"Yes," Aragorn said hesitantly.
"I am not convinced," He replied.
"I tell you that is all I am."
Elrond stared at him hard with a cold gaze knowing that this was untrue. "Well then," Elrond told him, "You may stay till your wound heals enough for you to go." He then left the room.
Arwen felt ashamed of her father's behavior. She left Aragorn also, to discover why he had acted that way.
"Ada," Arwen asked him, "What is wrong? Why are you treating him this way?".
"I sense something in him. He is hiding something I don't know what."
"But why send him away before his wound completely heals? You know that the risks are not yet gone." She asked him.
"I want him to leave. He has no business here; we don't even know who he really is." He explained to his daughter.
"You cannot know everything in this world," Arwen told him, "Not all secrets are an evil. They may just be a hidden gift that will be revealed in time. Let him stay Ada. He did save me."
Elrond knew that that was true. That his daughter did hold a point that he could not ignore, He had saved her life. "He may stay till his wound fully heals," Elrond gave in.
Arwen looked at her father as if questioning whether he meant this or not.
"You have my word." With that said he left wondering whether or not if what he was doing was right.
Review and I will die of delight.
