Chapter 38
Once again they trudged forward hoping to see the outline of the Golden Wood soon. Thranduil still held unshed tears in his eyes. He could not believe his son, his only family was this close to death. He shivered from the dread even though he was not cold. Legolas did not stir, no movement came from the bundle which sat before him. The only way he knew he still lived was the occasional gasp for air.
Celeborn looked on at the two he did not know the love a father had for his son; but he could imagine as he had considered Elrond his son for many years since his daughter's death. He would do anything for him and his grandsons. He even considered Legolas as one of the family since he was always with Estel and the twins reeking havoc.
Elrond however was lost in memories. The memory of his wife's face as she was brought back into Imladris after being found. The look on Arwen's face as she departed for Lorien unable to any longer remain where her mother once dwelled. All these things were horrible but nothing was as bad as the look of acceptance on Estel's face when he had seen him. His son must truly be hurt outside and within to be so calm about his decision.
All sat in utter silence each in a deep sense of foreboding. The twins each were barely hanging on. The strength left in their bodies was slowly failing. The journey had been too long, the fight to hard. Elladan even now didn't seem himself blaming the condition of Estel and Legolas on himself. Ever how much they tried to convince him Elrond knew deep down he would never get over it if they did not survive.
Elrond looked up from his son and his eyes fell upon a wonderful sight. The outline of the Golden Wood lied just ahead. He motioned for Thranduil to look up. Celeborn did not need to be alerted as he saw he was almost home.
As they started to hasten their ride the horses were startled again and Thranduil had to grab ahold of Legolas to keep him from slipping off the horse.
"Stop who dares to enter The Golden Wood" a marchwarden said his arrow poised at Elrond. Each of the members had arrows pointed at their hearts. Haldir recognizing whom he had his arrow pointed at dropped his arrow and fell to his knees.
"Forgive me milord, I did not know."
"Arise Haldir" Celeborn said as he dismounted.
"Please ride ahead and tell the healers to be ready. We are in need of many."
Haldir bowed as he looked at the other elf lords he bowed again; a hint of red showing his embarrasment at not noticing them. With this he took off running to alert the others of their arrival.
Again it is short short but I will update again soon soon for it!
