Chapter 29

NO!" Elrohir screamed as he crawled into the cage on his knees and pulled his brother into an embrace.

"Do not go Dan I am here. I am here and I will not leave you." he said as he rocked him back and forth. The tears on his face mingling with Elladan's undried ones.

"Ro is it really you? Have my eyes decieved me?

He then realized it was truly his brother and he hugged him but then his eyes filled with tears again.

"Estel, Legolas Ro they are going to die. Renmiel poisoned them." with this he bowed his head and cried as the pain and anguish overtook him.

Elrond and the others moved into the cage and to their sons. Each one picking up the limp bodies of the three.

"Come let us get them out of this evil place and into the light." Celeborn said rushing for the exit Elladan perched carefully in his arms. The others followed and soon they had made it outside without so much as a look back.

"I do not know what poison she gave them." Elrond said the despair in his voice rising. Estel and Legolas moaned with each movement. They thrashed about as if being attacked by some evil force no one else could see. It was heartwrenching to watch and Thranduil broke down.

"I can not watch my son suffer like this." his words catching in his throat.

"We will save them mellon nin. Perhaps the Lady of The Golden Wood can shed some light on what has happened and give us the answers we seek."

Celeborn nodded and they all carried their precious bundles back to the campsite.

Estel and Legolas looked pale even by elven standards. The noonday sun only enhanced this as it beat down on them. Once the arrived at the campsite a fire was started even though it was a warm day, and the three were brought close to it.

Elrond went about checking each for wounds and when he saw how extensive they were he gasped in alarm. Estel and Legolas had been stabbed and beaten brutually. Elladan seemed to have not suffered as much. His body was merely in need of alot of rest and food. The bruises and whelps he did have would heal nicely given time. Elrond boiled some water over the open fire and made Elladan some tea to help him sleep.

Do you know of what poison Renmiel might have given them?" Celeborn inquired of Elrond.

Elrond could not even attempt a guess. He was still in awe of the numerous gashes all over his son's body.

"They will be alright won't they Ada?" Elladan said as he tried to keep his eyes open. He did not think they would survive deep down in his heart and this brought new fear.

"Hush ion nin and try to sleep."

Elladan closed his eyes for the first time in awhile without the dread of opening them. He hoped his Ada could right all the wrongs comitted by Renmiel.
