Chapter Seventeen
Can You Hear me,
Am I getting through tonight,
Can You see him,
Can You make him feel alright,
If You Can You hear,
Let me take his place somehow,
See He's not just anyone,
He's my son!
-Mark Shultz
Slowly, ever so slowly, the feeling inside his body began to turn into an unbearable pain.
He opened his gray eyes, but no light filtered through the oppressive darkness. It seemed to him that a voice, no, voices were crying out.
"Estel?" one gasped and he heard the sound of feet backing away. "Father?! Father!" the voice cried again and again until it was almost hoarse with tears and sobs.
"Ada! Estel is awakening!" a similar, but less used voice called.
Something slammed and echoed hard in his fragile ears.
He cringed and moaned as the pain in his leg began to intensify and his whole being started to chill over with freezing cold.
"Soo-so cold." Aragorn murmured as a blanket was laid upon his slender frame.
"Shhhh.. I know. You'll be fine." he felt himself wrapped in a tight, warm hug.
"You're awake, and alive, and- oh Eru! Thank Eru!" sobs shook both father and son as Elrond refused to let go of Estel's healing body. "I love you, Estel. I love you so much."
All the elves in the room felt their hearts jump for joy as Aragorn awoke for the first time in two weeks.
But far away in Mirkwood, all of them forgot, an elven prince worriedly awaited the letter that would tell the fate of his dear friend.

Thanks! WOW, Tini-angel!!! THANKS!!! You have no idea how much your review meant! Thank you! Words can not express my ultimate gratitude! I hope this chapter is just as great! J
LOL! You are like the Fiftieth person to say that, EverKitsune. And Sadly, I can not tell you, although if you read this chapter, you probably know. Thanks!! Glad to have you here!
Truly, that was not my intention Aranna Undomiel. It was just a perk! LOL! Just kidding. I am glad you cried though, it is truly respects to a writer if you cry while reading. Well most of the time.
Thank you SOOO much, Mischa Kitsune! I printed your review out and posted it high upon my desk so that when I am having a bad day and I can not see a brighter future, I will know that God is with me, even when I struggle! You are already an amazing person to speak to all of and proclaim your faith through a review is a powerful thing! I know that someone beside me needed to read that review!!! Thank you SOOO much! That is even more of a great feeling for me than being put in your favorites because you like my story, but because you admire my faith! WOW! I am deeply touched! Thank you SOOOO much!!!! Yes, my grammar and spelling stink! LOL! Thankfully, I have gotten better. And thankfully, I have a beta. J Hey! I did not say he was dead, LOL! He is in a coma, people do come out of comas, though it is usually a surprise. J Keep on reading! And thank you SOOO much!!!!! Wow!
What on earth is it with your people and asking these questions, KatFay?! Goodness! LOL! Well as I proclaimed MANY times before, I can not answer any of those questions. Sorry. You'll just have to read it Brennil nin.
Yelps Well, I missed the last boat, I acctually was going to put one. But that is what Cassia and Sio have and I did not want to copy too much of the way they do things. But if you like, I will try and make one. LOL! It will be awful, but at least you'll all be warned right? And please! Don't use those on me!!!!! I still have to post the last chapter!!!! I'm evil you say- Hmmmm... I am sorry then. But ya know, I believe that all authors are evil when they are under the influence of computers and keyboards. LOL! (Especially when they write those dog'gone cliffies!)
Well, it was really the only way to write this fic without it seeming cheesy and over done. I though on that too, marbienl, and I saw no other possible way. Although, the way I put it. Legolas does not want to leave his father alone and he, though sad, feels that if he faded then he would only be giving in. Though I guess there is one more chapter and I could announce in that that he did die of grief- raises brows and grins wickedly Yes, but I doubt he will learn. IT was already quite obvious to him why his father wanted to leave, but instead of fighting it, he did what he though Aragorn would have wanted. Hugs Thanks!!
Well, thanks all you guys who cried and reviewed! And thanks to you all who did not cry or review but read the fic anyway! Your reviews mean A LOT to me!!!!! God bless you all and I will send the last chapter soon!!!! :) Thanks!!!!!
