Chapter 13
Elrond stood stretching his tense muscles. He had not slept well the night before. His worry for Elrohir and the others had made it impossible to sleep without dreams of what may be happening. He had hoped that they were simply dreams, but honestly he did not know.
Celeborn came to stand beside him but did not speak. Elrond knew what he was going to say though, but he did not want to face it. He did not want to move Elrohir just yet.
"Come we need to ride on and try to find the others. They need their fathers as well."
"I know but I fear for Elrohir he is so weak. What if we encounter trouble?"
"I believe you already know we will" Celeborn said trying to be honest. He knew that Elrond shared the gift of foresight with his wife. Come let us find them before it is too late"
Elrond sighed but moved to gather their belongings and bedrolls. He went over to Elrohir and felt his head to see if a fever had come in the night. His head felt cool but he still had not wakened. He knew Elladan and Estel were somewhere out there and this drove him to go on. To find his sons to make everything alright, as only a father could. His sons were strong though soldiers at heart.
Thranduil and Celeborn finished packing up as Elrond wrapped Elrohir in blankets and prepared him for the ride. As he mounted up his horse Celeborn handed up Elrohir to him and Elrond wrapped one arm around his waist. With a look to the other two they were off hoping they were going in the right direction.
As the hour of noon came they felt the need to stop and water the horses by a nearby stream; and to let Elrohir rest for a moment so Elrond could check out his wounds. If it had not been that they were on a mission to find their sons they might have noticed the beautiful fall colors surrounding them. The leaves turning to bright reds and orange. The gentle breeze whistling through the trees, and the sun which cast everything in soft light.
As Elrond rolled Elrohir over to change his bandages he heard a soft moan.
"Elrohir.. ion nin try to waken, speak to me. Ada is here can you open your eyes?"
Elrohir did not wish to open his eyes for he feared the pain and the darkness tried to lull him back.
"Elrohir! please wake up."
Elrohir stirred and slowly opened his eyes a small slit. The brightness of the sun hurt his eyes but he forced them open anyway. He had expected to see Renmiel, but when he saw his father and grandfather kneeling over him his eyes filled with fresh tears.
"Ada I am sorry I tried he said through parched lips. There were too many. They took Estel they took them all!" he said as he gasped.
Thranduil went back to the horse and hurried over with the waterskin and Elrond slowly let some of it drain into Elrohir's mouth.
"Can you tell us where...where she is? What did you see? Can you describe it? Thranduil was firing questions at the young elf.
"She is quite mad. She said she would have her revenge. She means... and with these next words he sobbed into his father's tunic she plans on killing them all." Now all Elrohir could do was weep. Weep for he was here safe and the others were still in her evil grasp.
This news brought a mixed look of rage and sadness to the three. They waited to see if he would or could tell them anything else.
"Elrohir did you see where you were? Do you remember the path you took my son? I know it is hard but please try to think it is important."
Elrohir thought for a moment and then looked into his father's eyes. He did not want to tell him what Renmiel had told them. He did not want to even think of it himself. His whole body shuddered and his breath hitched in his throat.
"She plans to kill us all one by one Ada and she said she would kill Legolas too. Why is her heart filled with so much hate? I am scared Ada they are hurt all of them, but all were alive last I saw them. She is truly a cruel and vile person." With this Elrohir's body started shaking, he had spent too much energy and he drifted back to the blissful darkness, but this time his eyes did not close.
Elrond hugged his son to him. Celeborn looked to the two fathers. He had no children of his own but he felt their pain as it radiated off the two beings. The remorse hung in the air like a blanket suffocating all the warmth of the day and he shivered.
"Come mellon nin let us ride on and find our sons and free them from their torment. "Valar will protect them until we find them." Thranduil said as he laid a comforting hand upon Elrond's shoulder.
Elrond sighed and gathered Elrohir up in his arms and carried him to the horse and was about to mount up.
"Elrond let me take him for awhile" Thranduil said "You have carried him this far but your horse is weary and needs a rest."
Elrond looked to Elrohir he did not want to release his hold on him fearing the worst. Reluctantly he handed his son to Thranduil.
Thranduil mounted up and Celeborn handed Elrohir to him. He cradled him close to his chest. Elrond did not often see this side of Thranduil and he sat in awe for a moment at the gentleness he was using with Elrohir. He was truly a good father and it showed in his actions. Elrond gave him a smile and they were off to search for the missing three. Heading east as Elrohir had pointed out before he collapsed again.
As their horses trod further an overwhelming sense of dread came over Elrond. He could feel the pain his son's were in. What was happening to them. Then he felt the tear sneak from his eye as the feeling of despair overtook him. This was not a good sign and he spurred his steed to go a little faster.
Hope you enjoyed
Until next time!
