After a few anxious hours of waiting, pacing, and much thought, there was a groan from Estel's bed. They all crowded around him again as he opened his eyes and tried to sit up to figure out where he was but the pain overwhelmed him and he cried out.

"Shhhhh my son......lie still." Elrond said placing a hand on the boy's dark head.

"W-what happened?!?" Estel gasped falling back onto his pillow.

The four Elves exchanged a glance, "We were fighting orcs in the forest and you fell from the tree and... you were attacked." Said Elrohir quietly. Estel closed his eyes and the color slowly drained from his face. Yes, now he remembered.....the fall, the pain from unexpected blows, the panic as the world swam blurrily before his eyes, and the darkness, the blessed darkness! Darkness that swept him away from all pain and worry. How badly had he been hurt?....no, he knew, he knew it was serious....he could tell from the grave look on his step family and best friend's faces, the stark silence of the room, and simply the pain that was washing over his entire body.

"Estel, Mellon nin," said Legolas putting a hand on his friend's shoulder, he looked at Elrond as did the Twins.

Elrond sighed and spoke as though each word caused him pain, "You, were stabbed in the back....it barely missed your lungs so you might have some trouble breathing for a while. That stab wound also...it also grazed your spine," Elrond paused watching helplessly as his son stared at him in disbelief. This was obviously a lot for an active 18-year-old boy to deal with.

Estel swallowed hard he didn't want to know, but he had to, "And?"

"You are going to have limited movement, numbness and such, throughout most of you body, and.........paralysis in your legs," tears welled up in Estel's bright grey eyes but he hid them, he had always been good at that, "But you should recover most if not all movement with time, and help."

At the word help all tears and sadness disappeared from the proud face of the young man.

"I think I'll be fine on my own....it doesn't hurt that much, it shouldn't take too long to recover." That was a flat out lie. And Estel knew it as did everyone in the room. Estel could feel numbness even as he spoke and the others saw pain in his eyes even through his brave mask. The twins rolled their eyes and Legolas just barely held back from yelling. Estel was proud.....too proud at times. But this was no time for the stubbornness of mortals.

"Well, let's see how well you are." Said Elrond pulling back the covers, he had expected no less from his foster son. Seeing his wounds and bruises Legolas and the Twins held back gasps. Elrond knelt beside the bed and gingerly lifted one of the boy's legs.

"Ai! Ai!" cried Estel in agony as waves of sharp excruciating pain swept over him.

"I'm sorry my son," said Elrond, tears in his eyes again.

Estel was drenched in sweat and sobbing, "It hurts so bad Ada! I, I can't m-move my legs b-but they hurt s-so bad!!!!" he said sobbing which was completely unlike him. Elrond walked swiftly over and hugged his youngest as he cried and his friend and foster brothers held his hands and comforted him as well.

This was going to be a very long road

Through very bad weather

He would have to lean on them

His friends forever
