Chapter 32
The days journey on horses wore heavy on the little group. Elves or not the last few days had worn them down and all were exhausted. Yet they still held tight the small chance that Estel and Legolas would be alright once they got to Lorien. The sun was slowly waning in the fall sky and the threat of rain loomed in the air.
"We should seek shelter before the rain begins" Elrond said as he did not like the look of the clouds that were forming.
All the others nodded their heads in agreement. Seeing the outline of some caves they brought their horses up to the entrance. Each one took one of the still forms sleeping and carried them into the cave. Thranduil was making a small fire just inside the entrance. Estel and the others were laid beside it to keep them warm. Bedrolls were brought inside without a moment to spare for the rain had started.
Harder and harder it came down and Elrond even though he did not like caves was glad for the small shelter this one was providing from the torrential downpour. The rains came well into the evening.
"Celeborn ran out in the rain and brought back the waterskins and supplies they may need for the night. Elrond thanked Thranduil for the fire as the Lorien elf wrung the water from his hair. He was glad that Thranduil had thought enough to bring in extra wood to keep the fire stoked all night. No sounds were made from the sleeping four as the others ate a small bit in silence. Nothing was heard that is until the first clap of thunder echoed off the cave walls. Legolas sat up and screamed.
"Father! Where are you? Do not leave me here in this cave. I am frightened."
Estel hearing Legolas call out madly groped for him and when he could not feel the elf he tore out of Elrond's grasp and started crawling toward the elf. Once he laid his hands on him he pulled the elf into an embrace and started to rock him back and forth
"Ssshhh mellon nin I will keep you safe from the horrors of the dark. I am here Legolas" Estel said his own voice wavering. Estel could not hold on to the elf much longer as his own body screamed with each intake of air as he spoke.
"I will be with you, You will not have to go alone mellon nin."
This brought comfort to the elf and he calmed down somewhat yet his whole body still shook with every clap of the thunder. He would not be alone when he entered The Halls of Mandos he would be hand in hand with his friend and this made leaving his father almost bearable.
Thranduil went to his son and tried to pull him into his arms yet he clung to Estel with everything he had.
"Leave him alone he has done nothing to you. He can't take it anymore. Is it not enough to know that he is dying?" Legolas spoke without really knowing it was his father instead of Renmiel. His mind was lost in the blackness of the pain. His body torn from his mind as the poison sunk deeper within him.
Thranduil looked to Elrond as if to ask what to do, but Elrond simply had no answers.
"Perhaps we should let them stay there. They seem to draw some kind of comfort in each other. Estel and Legolas calmed down after a few moments as the storm returned to the silent downpour once more. Estel realeased his grip on the elf and Elrond placed him back on his bedroll and covered him as he shook. Elrond worried that Estel would not make it through this ordeal. As a tear fell down his usually stoic face Estel called to him.
"Ada where are you? Please hurry I am dying Ada. I wanted to say goodbye."
Elrond looked on in horror. Estel knew he was dying; his mortal son of only sixteen had accepted death and this frightened Elrond more than anything. He couldn't go and leave him. He would not be whole without him. Estel had brought happiness back into Imladris and if he left all the happiness would leave with him along with a piece of his soul.
"Estel I am here. Do not fret ion nin, your Ada is here and I will not let you die."
For the first time Estel looked into Elrond's eyes and saw him. "It is alright Ada, Legolas shall come with me so I will not be alone. It hurts to much to stay here much longer." A sudden chill ran down Elrond's spine as his thoughts went to Estel.
"You shall live Estel. I will get you to Lorien and the healers will make sure you are well."
Elrond did not know if this were true but he had to hope. The hope was the only thing keeping him going. He turned away from Estel's gaze and his eyes fell upon his twin sons. They sat staring at him as tears rolled silently down their faces. The two slowly pulled themsleves even closer to Estel and each wrapped an arm around him. If he passed from this world tonight he would know he was not alone.
Thranduil picked up Legolas and was trying to creep away as not to disturb the family moment. Elrond put his hand out and shook his head.
"Come you are apart of our family, your son is like my son. Come do not be alone in this hour of darkness."
Thranduil shook his head and as he pulled his bedroll towards the group Celeborn threw another log on the fire and went to sit beside the twins. He regretted the lack of time he had spent with them as elflings and now to be together under these circumstances was heartwrenching.
The little group huddled by the fire and waited for morning and another chance to get to Lorien. It was only another two days ride and they would go with all the haste they could.
and now I run see you in 3-4 days!
Namaarie!
