Chapter 17
As the morning sun light peeked into the room two beings stirred in their sleep. Estel seemed to be waking from a long dream, and he was both hungry and stiff. Rolling over he wondered where he was, and why Legolas was laying in his bed. Seeing him stir Haldir went over to the bed and held his finger to his lips.
"Hush Estel , you need need to rest. You have had quite a few days, and now you need to go back to sleep."
"I am not tired Haldir, in fact I am hungry and wish to go to the kitchens and find something to eat. How and when did I get here?"
Legolas tried to fight off the remnants of sleep, and rolled over. "Shut up Estel, some of us are trying to sleep, and get out of my bed."
Legolas sighed as he heard Estel grumble more and went to sit up. "What... how..when did we get here?" he said trying to sit up, but his body protested mildly.
Elrond, and all the occupants of the room woke up as the arguing of Estel and Legolas became louder and louder. Elrond had stirred from his hazy sleep just in time to see Estel try to get out of bed, and fall back down on the bed. Legolas was highly upset as Estel had fallen on his outstretched leg.
"Estel, he called out in anger, but soon eased his tone as he saw the look of discomfort on Estel's face.
"Ada, what are we doing in Lothlorien, and what caused this injury?"
"Do you not remember? Can you tell me anything?"
Estel and Legolas both looked at each other and shrugged. "I do not recall coming here." Legolas said looking at his father.
"Are you going to tell us how and why we are here, and why all of you are here?" Estel said his injuries temporarily ignored.
He and Legolas saw all the others look at each other before Galadriel finally spoke up. "You both came here for a visit. It seems Elrond and Thranduil have raised some very clumsy young ones, for you both took a tumble off your flet just three days ago. You would not waken, so I sent for your fathers." Galadriel explained, her voice never wavering in the lie.
"Now that the explanation was given Estel's hunger returned full force along with his and Legolas' pains.
"Ada, I am hungry. Could we have something to eat please?"
"Yes, You will need to have something on your stomach before I give you the next treatment for pain."
This brought two very sour looking faces from the two on the bed, and snickers from the twins. Legolas and Estel folded their arms in protest, but relented when the stern look of Galadriel met their gaze.
Elrond and Thranduil smiled, relieved as they looked at Mithrandir and nodded. All were glad that the two had no lingering memories of the past days events.
"So you mean we have not even went out on our hunt, or gotten to ride and search out some adventure?"
"Aye, that is correct young ones." Mithrandir said the horrible memories he had taken from them both still in the back of his mind. "Now rest we will get you both someting to eat." All of them got up and went to walk to the door, when they heard Estel speak again.
"That is alright. We can go back out Legolas, on our hunt that we missed. Both boys jumped however when the sound came bounding off the very walls.
"NO!" was the echoing word spoken by all of the others. "You two will be taking up the new hobby of needlepoint with Arwen for the next two weeks. Learn to love and except it, for that is the closest thing to something dangerous you will be doing."
As the elders left the room Estel and Legolas both sat gazing at their brothers, and Haldir who was still lingering in the doorway.
"You know something don't you!" Estel asked, his eyes accusingly looking at them all.
All of the other three feigned a hurt look, but it was Haldir who spoke up. "I am very glad you are safe mellyn nins, and I expect a lovely needlepoint of myself by next week. He ran with the twins out of the room, but stopped just short of the stairs. He looked back to the room and ran back.
Stepping in he ran up to Estel and Legolas and hugged them both. "Welcome back," he said and then departed the room, leaving the two with dumbfounded looks. "I want my needlepoint by next week," he called, snickering as he went back to his post. He would again guard all that was precious in the Golden Wood.
The new fic will be posted next week!
