Legolas bent down and carefully examined the wound. There was a
slightly green color already forming around the injured area. Legolas took
out some herbs that he kept in a pouch tied to his waist. He grabbed a
stone that was sitting on the ground and began to grind the herbs into
powder. He looked around for a second and picked up a leaf. He scraped
the powdered herbs onto the leaf and added some water from his drinking
container and watched as it began to form a pasty substance. He put this
on Gimli's shoulder and wrapped a strip of cloth around the injured
shoulder and heard the dwarf curse and complain about it burning. Legolas
then whistled for his horse (if anyone knows its name could you please tell
me), which had run away during the fight, and helped Gimli, who was having
a very hard time mounting "the beast" because of the injury on his
shoulder. Once he had Gimli situated he swung himself gracefully onto the
horse behind him and whispered something into its ear. The horse began to
gallop at top speed. Legolas had to support Gimli's weight as the poison
was now having an effect on his body.
"My axe, did you retrieve my axe?" Gimli asked in a slurred voice.
"Yes, Gimli, I picked it up as soon as you dropped it." Replied Legolas, a little amused at the fact that the Dwarves life could be endanger and all he could worry about was his axe.
"Good, I may need it yet again." At that moment Gimli lost consciousness and it became more difficult for Legolas to hold him steady.
They rode for about five more minutes when a cottage came into view. Without second thought Legolas directed his horse to the front of the gate. He dismounted and pulled Gimli down as well. He carried Gimli to the door and set him down, almost relieved to be rid of the dwarf's weight. He knocked on the door then directed his attention to readjusting the makeshift bandage on Gimli's shoulder. After about ten seconds a young girl, probably in her early twenties, opened the door. She immediately saw Gimli and, without even asking about their late night arrival, opened the door wider and helped Legolas carry him inside and set him on the bed, which was in the middle on the one roomed house.
"What happened?" The young girl asked in a whisper.
"We got attacked by orcs and my friend was hit with a poisonous arrow on the shoulder." Legolas replied gesturing to the bloodstained bandage on Gimli's shoulder. "I was wondering if there was anything you could do to help me with him.
"I do know a little bit about medicine." With that she made her way over to a cabinet and pulled things out, busying herself with something in her fireplace.
A/N Sorry it's so short, I wanted to post something, I haven't updated in over a week because of school.
Legolas4me-Thanks for the tip, I didn't realize about the mistake.
Felfrin- I know my grammar wasn't very good, I think I fixed it.
Everyone else, thanks for the reviews, keep 'em coming.
