Title: The Stars Will Shine Brighter
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the genius which is Tolkien.
Summary: The people of Mirkwood have secluded themselves from other elves for a long time. Legolas has not seen his former best friends, the children of Elrond, for almost 2 thousand years. But when he runs into an injured human that claims to be a child of the Lord of Imladris, will he return to Imladris? Will this human become a friend?
Chapter Three:
Upon awakening, Aragorn was concious of the fact that he was on horse back. He opened his eyes to see he was, in fact, on a horse. Les was behind him on the same horse, and Estel's own steed, Cellar, was along side them and his reigns were in Les's grasp.
His next thought was about how sick and heavy he was feeling. He felt a wave of dizziness go through him as he wondered what was happening to him.
"I believe the arrow that hit you was poisoned." Spoke Les from behind him, upon feeling Estel's discompfort. Aragorn growned, he had felt the effects of black poison a few times before and was not keen on going through it again.
"Maybe next time you are attacked by orcs, maybe you should learn to dodge." Came the amused voice of Legolas. Estel could swear, though he couldn't see it, that Les was smileing.
"You are worse than my brothers." Aragorn commented, remembering the many times of teasing, berrating, and all around annoying behavier that his twin foster brothers had shown him over the years.
"where are we going?" Aragorn asked concious of the fact that they had to be going somewhere.
"I am taking you back to Imladris."
"Why not Greenwood?" asked the human curiously as they stopped and Les got off of the horse.
"Because you would not be treated there. My people can be stubborn and most don't tolerate humans. They wouldn't help you, at least not enough." Said Legolas helped Estel off of the horse as well.
When he reached the ground, Aragorn asked Les curiously,
"Why are we stopping?"
"We are not stopping, I am merely putting you on your own horse." Aragorn nodded and accepted the leg up onto Cellar.
"Hannon le." He said when he sat down in the sattle. Les nodded and mounted his own horse.
"your horse is quite beautiful may I ask his name?" Said Aragorn, admiring the beauty of the white stallion.
"Aimen." Said the elf, as they proceded forth once again, "So, Estel, tell me of your family in Imladris."
"Well, I have my foster father of course, my foster mother died before I was adopted. About five hundred years ago. I have a foster sister and twin foster brothers." Explained Aragorn, feeling strangly trusting of this elf.
"Twins?" spoke Les, knowing twins were not that common, especailly among elves. And instanly knew that this human had been adopted by Lord Elrond and his family. He briefly thought of his former best friends, Elladan and Elrohir, and their sister Arwen, wondering whether he would recognise them when they reached Imladris. Legolas also promised himself he wouldn't reviel his identity, it involved too many questions and, though he missed his former friends, it would become too complicated. Knowing his father didn't know he was journeying to Rivendell and certainly would not let him go back, Legolas thought it better than to get reattached.
"Yes, and as interesting as it sounds, two is not better than one." Estel smiled to himself, remembering all the pranks they had pulled on him. Caught up in memory, he missed the smile that Legolas wore, as he too remembered the many good times he shared with the twins.
TBC..
Will they find out who Les is? Will Les and Estel become friends?
