Chapter 33
As the sun peaked it's head out over the cover of the clouds Elrond awoke to the sounds of the fire still blazing bright. He untangled himself from the grasp of his son and went outside for a breath of fresh air. As he breathed in he prayed to Valar to give him the strength to get them to Lorien. He looked up as the sky began to clear and the promise of a sunny day appeared. He found no solace in this for his mind would not be at ease till his sons were once again running through the halls of Imladris.
He turned in enough time to see Thranduil stir from his sleep. Estel called out for him and in moments he was on his way back, He ran and the sight before him made him stop and stare. Celeborn with Estel.
Celeborn cradled the child as blood seeped from the corner of Estel's mouth. Where this blood came from he did not know, but he stopped just a few feet away. He had not seen Celeborn ever really speak in such a manner and he was in awe at the force.
"Estel fight it! You have to live for me,for it will kill your father, and for the hope of all of Middle Earth. Please Estel fight this!" Celeborn continued to plead to the unconscious child.
Elrond stepped up and took Estel from his arms and looked for something to have caused the blood. He could only guess Estel had some internal injuries from his long captivity with Renmiel and he sighed knowing to try to fix it here, in this cave would surely cause more harm than good. He felt around Estel's ribs and saw that many were indeed broken and something must have jarred them. He wondered how the child had kept from falling this long into darkness forever. His will must be strong.
"Come let us get ready to ride. I wish to not stay here a moment longer." Thranduil said already packing up and moving Legolas towards the entrance. The others nodded in agreement but Elrond was so afraid for all of them. Elladan and Elrohir looked as if they could fall at any moment from exhaustion. Estel and Legolas clinged to life with every ounce they had. He prayed they could hold on just a little longer.
Once mounted up they all took off hurrying as fast as they dared towards Lorien. Elrond did not see as the trees seemed to move for them as if they knew the dire situation of the travelers. They rode hard and fast, hoping to get to Lorien as quickly as possible.
Elladan was becoming tired, and he finally just leaned over on the horse hoping not to fall off. His body would not cooperate though and he slowly slipped from the horse and fell to the ground. No one noticed until they heard the scream erupt from Elrohir.
"Elladan! gwador nin!" Elrohir screamed as he jumped from his horse and landed next to his brother. Elladan moaned and rolled over but he was too tired to stand. Elrond turned his horse around and galloped back as did the others. As quick as possible he leaned Estel forward on the horse and jumped down to check on Elladan.
Elladan what is it? Where do you hurt?" he asked as he looked him over for any new injuries.
It is nothing Ada I am just tired I think. If you will help me up I can ride again." As he tried to put some pressure on his wrist he cried out, and fell back down.
Nonsense! I am sorry my son, in my haste I have neglected to be observant. We shall stop here for the night so you can rest."
Elrond felt shame creep into his heart as he had almost forfieted one for the other. He would keep a closer eye on the twins to make sure they were also faring well. As he went to retrieve Estel from the horse he noticed Estel just laid there unmoving and his heart leapt in his throat.
"Estel! Are you alright?" He got no response but saw that his chest was still rising and he sighed in relief.
As Elrond took Estel from the horse Estel still did not move. He was limp in his father's arms. Elrond laid him down upon the ground and checked for a pulse. It was there but it beat rapidly. He hurried over to where Legolas was still astride the horse in front of his father and saw he was in the same conditon.
"Thranduil please bring Legolas over here." Thranduil looked perplexed but did as Elrond asked. As he laid Legolas beside Estel he began to worry as he saw his son had closed his eyes in sleep.
I know they are short but I gotta go to work too. Hope you enjoyed will update soon!
