Chapter 2
As dusk drew near Thranduil looked for his son. He had searched all
over for him and he was nowhere to be found. Running in the room of
Lord Elrond he asked.
"Have you seen my son or yours for that matter?"
"No, I have not, but I am sure they are off exploring somewhere.
Dinner will be served within the hour and I am sure they will not
miss that."
"You are probably right." Thranduil said with a chuckle. He knew all
to well the appetite of the human son of Elrond.
Legolas was already doubting his thoughts for coming. This was most
assuredly going to get them into trouble. They always seemed to
attract trouble. He sighed and Estel looked to him.
"What troubles your mind, mellon nin?"
"Well, for one, this fool hardy plan to go after the missing march
warden. Second, I am sure this will not end well. The trees speak of
evil that has passed by."
Estel just shrugged, for he could not hear what the trees spoke
of. "It will be fine, we are all together nothing could go wrong. "
"Nothing! Estel, you attract accidents like orcs to Mordor." Estel
glared as his brothers had stopped and were now laughing
uncontrollably.
"Do not laugh, I believe I know a couple of elves who get into just
as much trouble as I." Estel said almost defiance in his speech.
"Estel, do not take it the wrong way, we love you, little brother we
just do not wish to explain to Ada how you were injured again."
Elrohir spoke. "Last time we had to clean the stables for a week."
This produced a smile on Estel's face he remembered two very smelly
twins stomping in after a couple of hours mucking the stalls.
"Come let us keep on, we will stop for the night soon. I see what
appears to be tracks just ahead."
"Where?" Estel asked.
"Come, I will show you gwador nin how to track." Elladan said and
this brought a big smile to Estel's face. They spent the next hour
looking for clues as to where the march warden was, and who he was
taken by.
As Elrond approached the dining room he was met by Thranduil. When
they entered they were surprised to see only Galadriel and Celeborn
sitting there. Elrond wondered what was detaining his sons. Thranduil
was seething. He would speak to Legolas about being late to important
dinners.
"Where are your sons mellyn nin, dinner is to begin soon."
Elrond blushed and so did Thranduil, for they had no clue.
"Perhaps they will join us momentarily." Galadriel said.
They all sat down to enjoy the bountiful feast before them, but
Elrond just picked at his food. He hoped his sons were not off doing
something to get themselves hurt. Thranduil also rolled his food
around his plate. It was not like his son to be so disrespectful by
not showing up at all.
"I think I will go and excuse myself, and search for my tardy sons.
If you will please excuse me." He said with a bow. Elrond first
searched their rooms. All their belongings were still there. Yet, he
wondered where they could be. As he walked out of the room he ran
straight into Thranduil.
"Excuse me, I am sorry, I was not paying attention to where I was
going." Thranduil did not however seem to notice as he seemed lost in
thought.
"I can not find Legolas anywhere, yet his clothes are still here."
"I am having the same problem, mellon nin, shall we go search the
stables?" Thranduil only nodded and headed for the stables.
When they arrived they saw that all of their horses were gone. Elrond
went to acquire some answers from the stable hand. The stable hand
just looked at them both.
"I saw them leave earlier in the day, but they seemed in no rush."
Elrond shook his head wondering where had they gone and why.
Thranduil looked to him and said "Perhaps someone else knows where
they have gotten off to."
The twins rode on not noticing Estel yawning and trying to stretch
the kinks out. He was not an elf and riding for this long without a
break sometimes stressed that fact more. He, however, would not show
this to his brothers.
He would go just as long as they did, it was important to him to show
them he was not a kid anymore. He was almost a grown man, and he was
capable of keeping up.
Legolas looked to his friend he knew that he was tired and probably
hungry, but he also knew he would never say so.
"Why do we not stop for the night, Elladan? I think we shall find no
more clues today."
"Perhaps you are right. We shall stop and make camp just ahead under
the canopy of those trees."
Estel looked to his friend he knew that he had done this for him and
he gave a silent nod of thanks.
They stopped and dismounted. They had brought no supplies so Elrohir
was trying to start a fire after several minutes he got it to burn
and added some of the twigs nearby. "Now, who shall go and find us
something for dinner?"
"Well the prince here claims to be the best archer, so let him go and
bring down something big I am starving" Elladan laughed.
Legolas glared at him but laughed. "I shall bring the biggest stag
you have ever seen back!" he claimed, and off he went into the forest
with his bow slung over his shoulder.
Estel sat there by the fire, the warmth of it was soothing, and he
almost feel asleep. He shook himself awake and peered up into the
sky. The stars were very bright tonight and they seemed to shine with
a unknown beauty that had endured for many millennia.
He was pulled from he reverie as he noticed Elrohir staring at him.
"Estel, where is your mind wandering off to?"
"The beauty that surrounds us. The silent night and where are all the
sounds of the forest tonight. It is far too quiet."
Elrohir looked at his brother he had grown in his maturity. He had
grown to accept nature and to learn from his surroundings. Elladan
perked up with this question though. He was about to ask a question
when Legolas came back having felled a huge stag.
A look of pure satisfaction was on the prince's face. "I believe you
said bring back the biggest stag." He said with a smile to Elladan.
Elladan smirked but helped him clean the deer and get it ready to
cook. They all sat around the fire and ate of the meal. Estel was
enjoying it when he stopped mid-chew.
"What is it, Estel?" Legolas looked at him and said.
"Ada is gonna kill us you realize this right? I for one do not
treasure going back and facing him."
"You will be fine, Estel, you are the youngest we are the ones who
will suffer the most." Elrohir said with a gulp. They had not thought
a lot about it when they left. Being sure they would find the march
warden a lot quicker.
Heavy sighs were heard all around. They all knew the wrath of their
fathers. It would not be a happy moment.
"Well, there is nothing we can do now." Legolas spoke. So maybe we
should find the march warden before going back then maybe they will
not be so upset."
This seemed like a good plan to all. Estel yawned again and his
brothers noticed "Come, I believe it is time we settled down for the
night I will take first watch." Elladan said.
All of the others settled down for the night. Estel shivered, for
they had brought no bedrolls and he being the only human in the bunch
was a little chilly.
"Estel, are you cold?" Elrohir asked coming over to him.
"No, `Ro, I am fine really." He said trying to be convincing.
"Well, no matter, move closer to the fire."
The other two, who were not on watch, were going to sleep in the
trees. Estel had refused this idea and said he would be just fine on
the ground, where he could not fall. Legolas had been hesitant, but
then gave in. He could watch the Adan from his perch in the tree.
Until Next time!
I swear it does get evil sooooooo evil!
