Chapter Three - The Hunt
"The river ada! You must control the river!" Elladan yelled, shaking his father.
With a broken sob, Elrond forced himself to concentrate on Vilya, channeling the power to the air and water. A soft glow filled the room and gradually, bit by bit, Elrond forced the rapids back. When finally the water flowed in the right direction, Elrond released his control on it, collapsing backwards into his sons arms. The elf lord shook as sobs wracked his body. The thought that he had just lost his son tormented him mercilessly.
"No, Estel. It cannot be true! My son!"
"Ada, no! Estel is alive, we have to believe that! He is strong and able. He has to be alive. I do not think the fates are so cruel as to deny Gondor her king before he even comes of age!" Elladan said fiercely, helping his father to stand up. He gave a nod to Elrohir, who helped Legolas towards the healing room. Glorfindel stood nearby, ready to assist if called upon.
Elrond nodded weakly, wiping his sleeve across his eyes. "You are right. I am sorry to have despaired my son. Estel is so young, and so mortal." Elrond sniffed one last time. "Come, we must go find him, before the enemy does. No doubt, they will also be on the lookout for him."
Elladan silently agreed and signaled to Glorfindel to fetch the weapons. Glorfindel nodded, quickly walking from the room.
Turning back to his father, the older twin gasped at the desperation clearly shown on his face.
"Elladan," Elrond said gravely. "We have to find him."
"I know ada. I know." Elladan whispered back. He prayed that they did.
---------------------------
Elrohir listened carefully as Linden explained Legolas' injuries. The list was quite extensive and Elrohir knew it would be at least a full week before Legolas completely healed. 'Not that something as minor as a few life threatening wounds ever stopped the stubborn elf.' Elrohir thought. Out loud, he said,
"Just keep him in bed. Tie him up if you have to. Knowing him, that will probably be necessary." Elrohir sighed, scrubbing a hand over his face. Why couldn't life ever be easy for a change?!
'Because then it would be boring.' A little voice whispered in the back of his head. Elrohir muttered and stomped on the voice ... repeatedly ... with quite a lot of satisfaction.
Composing himself, Elrohir clapped Linden on the back gently and walked from the room, outside to the courtyard. His father, Glorfindel, and Elladan were strapping weapons and supplies onto the horses. They were highlighted by the slowly fading sunlight and the swish of a fall's breeze. It would be cold tonight; Elrohir winced as he imagined Estel out in the near freezing weather, wearing little clothes.
'Ai, little brother. You do, however unintentionally, manage to worry us so. I shall have to strangle you if I see so much as one grey hair upon my head.'
"Is Legolas settled?" Elrond asked, mounting his horse.
"Yes, ada."
"Good. We are ready to depart then."
The other three mounted their horses, slowly trotting from the paved cobblestones.
"Valar be with us." Elrond said softly as the sun was setting behind them.
