Chapter 39 if you can call it that

In no time at all they were all arriving in Lorien the beautiful mallorn trees showing them the way in almost. Galadriel met them as the rode in, standing beside her were many healers.

Each took someone from their steeds. The twins almost falling from theirs with exhaustion. They had a hard time prying Legolas from Thranduil's grasp. He did not want to release him afraid he would not see him alive again. In the end they relented as they saw he would not let go of his son.

Elrond jumped from his horse and slowly pulled Estel down. Estel's body was like a rag doll in his hands. He would not give him to the healers; he instead chose to carry his son himself and no one tried to stop him.

As the climbed the long flight of stairs to the healing flet Estel and Legolas made no movement. Each hung in their arms like they were asleep. No one would have known they were dying except for the gashes and the look of pain each held on their faces.

Once to the healing ward each was laid on a bed of soft sheets and covered with a blanket. Galadriel entered followed by Celeborn. He was still in his clothes of many days.

"How are they?" Galadriel asked of Elrond.

"I do not know how to heal them" he said his words hitching in his throat. Renmiel has poisoned them and I do not know the cure or even if there is one."

"Come let us gaze into the mirror perhaps it will show us the way."

Elrond left Estel reluctantly. He placed a kiss upon his brow and went over to gaze upon the twins before he left. My sons how could I live without any of you. With these words he left the room with Galadriel.

AS I SAID ANOTHER UPDATE TOMORROW AND A LONGER ONE SO DO NOT KILL ME UNTIL THEN.
