Chapter 42
All through the night the two struggled for air. Each gasping as if it were their last breath. Thranduil and Elrond were at their wits end. They had given the two antidote after antidote and nothing seemed to be working.
Estel squirmed in his bed as if he could not find a comfortable spot. He kept reaching as if for someone that was not there. Nothing seemed to comfort him, not even his father. Elrond sat in the chair not knowing what to do to calm his son. With every toss and turn his fever seemed to spike higher.
Elrond ask Elladan to stay beside his brother as he went to check on Legolas. Legolas seemed to be having the same problem. He tossed and turned in the bed. His face wrinkled up in pain. His usual perfect hair was matted down with sweat from the fever which raged inside him.
"He seems to need something and I do not know what it is?" Thranduil said his shoulder sagging in defeat. Elrond sat down beside Legolas and placed his hands over his brow and tried to send him some comfort. When he removed his hand Legolas reached up to grab something, and when he did not find it he once again began to toss and turn.
Galadriel had watched all of this from the corner and now approached the bed where Legolas laid.
"If I may" she said to Thranduil. He shook his head to her and she placed her hand upon his brow. She at once shook from the vision which came to her. Her whole body tensing up. Legolas writhed in the bed as Galadriel saw what he saw, felt what he felt. Even with her eyes shut tears leaked from the corners. She snatched her hand away from the elfling and peered to the others.
"So much pain. so much hurt." she said. He seems only to focus on one thing. The thing that has kept him alive this long. The thing he will not give up for. Your son is remarkable Thranduil. He has the heart of ten thousand elves."
"What will comfort him? Did you see? I can not bear him to suffer so. It is killing me." Thranduil said his shoulder sagging as the tears came again.
"If you will allow it" Galadriel said. Thranduil nodded his head and Galadriel picked Legolas up. Thranduil wondered where she was taking him, but soon realized as she laid him next to Estel.
He reached out again and this time grabbed Estel's hand. Almost within seconds he settled down somewhat. Thranduil looked on with disbelief.
"I do not know what or how, but these two have forged a bond greater than any has ever known. I see that they have lived, played, and will not be parted even in death." As Galadriel spoke these words the two mighty elf lords came to realize a valuable thing. Their sons had taught them the true meaning of friendship no matter the race or realm.
"Elrond if my son does die he could not have known a better friend than your son."
"Aye mellon nin as I am sure Estel could have found no better than Legolas. They will not be alone in this fight. Shall we vow to cherish our sons and always see the good in everyone."
"Thranduil peered into Elrond's eyes and he embraced the elf lord. " I will never again judge men for your son has shown me through my son that they are indeed great."
Galadriel stood and walked away giving the fathers and their sons some time alone. The twins each coming and sitting on either side of their father.
Hours later Elladan was about to fall from his chair as his eyes glazed over in sleep. Elrond went to pick him up, but Thranduil shook his head. He very careful as if craddling a new born babe, he picked him up and placed him back in his bed. Elrond picked up Elrohir before he could fall and placed him beside his brother. Each were exhausted and Elrond did not know if they would ever get better if they did not rest.
Each went back and sat down standing vigil over their sons. Waiting and watching should one of them stir in the night.
Until next chapter!
