Chapter 30
"Will they be alright?" Celeborn said as he looked over the gruesome injuries of the two. Elrond shook his head.
"I do not know" and with that he pulled Estel close holding him as he had when he was a child. A few feet away Thranduil could be heard telling Legolas he would be alright, he was strong, a warrior; while the frown across his face deepened.
Elrond pulled himself together and began to undo Estel's tunic to try and sew up his many wounds. What he saw made his stomach turn. All were infected. Celeborn seeing this quickly brought the water skin over so he could begin to clean them.
With each swipe of the cloth over the wounds Estel writhed in pain. Elrond would have given him something to sleep during this but Estel had yet to waken. As he stitched the last gash he sat back exhausted.
"Come try to get some rest, at least for an hour or two." Celeborn pleaded.
"I can not, I have to tend to Legolas
"Wait I will bring him to you." Celeborn walked over to Thranduil and held out his arms to take the child. Thranduil shook his head and instead stood up and walked over by the fire and sat down. He held onto Legolas, never letting go of him while Elrond mended his wounds. As the last stitch was put in Elrond let out a deep breath.
"I think we should rest here for the night" Celeborn said as the sun started to sink over the tree line. A chilly wind blew through the campsite and Estel shivered. Elrond knew he and Legolas burned with fever from the poison. He placed more wood on the fire until it was blazing.
"I shall watch over all of you tonight" Celeborn said taking his bow and climbing into the nearest tree before anyone could protest. They were actually grateful for each of them were exhausted.
Elrond looked at Elladan who was buried under blankets and under the death grip of Elrohir, who laid beside him and smiled. His smile quickly vanished though as he looked at Thranduil who laid beside his son stroking his hair. Legolas kept flinching and it tore at Thranduil's heart. Elrond then looked down at Estel. He was so pale yet sweat dampened his brow. Every so often he moaned as if someone or something tormented him. Elrond laid down beside him and gathered him in his arms, singing to him a sweet melody of hope.
As the last verse of the song was finished and all had finally fallen into fitful slumber Celeborn prayed. He prayed that they would somehow come through this but his heart weighed heavy. Had they been through too much? Would they make it back to Lorien?; or had Renmiel truly won? Not many people saw Celeborn cry but his shoulders shook as he sobbed. He cried in relief of finding them and for the fear in his heart of losing them but not before they suffered. This and the occasional whimper from one of the young ones were the only sounds heard in the stillness of the night.
Until 4 days from now.
