Summary: Feeling ignored and unwanted a young Estel decides to go out on a hunting trip by himself.
Chapter 4
~*~*~*~*~
The sun was high in the sky when Estel awoke. He found himself laying on a rocky bank.
'How do I always get into these messes?' Estel wondered to himself. 'Well there is no sense in sitting here feeling sorry for myself.'
Estel had never been this far from Rivendell before, so he had no idea where to go. He decided to head down river.
'There is probably some kind of village near the river somewhere. If I can find a village maybe they can tell me the way back to Rivendell.' With these logical conclusions in his head Estel set off, heading down river away from the falls, and unbeknownst to him, even further away from his home and the realm of elves.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Elrond, Glorfindel, and a handful of elves were gathered in the courtyard preparing to leave Rivendell and search for Estel.
Glorfindel was just mounting his horse Asfolth when 2 horses dashed through the gates and into the courtyard at top speed.
Asfolth was startled by the sudden intrusion and skitted to the side, knocking Glorfindel, who was in the process of mounting, flat on his back in the dirt. (Couldn't resist throwing this in, all these fics with Glorfindel covered in mud inspired me! ;) )
Elrond couldn't help it, despite the horrible situation they now fount themselves in and the worry he still had for Estel's safety, he just had to laugh at the site of the dignified Glorfindel covered in mud.
The twins, who had been the riders who tore into the courtyard, also burst out laughing at the site of the elf lord covered in mud.
Glorfindel tried to pull himself to his feet with as much dignity as possible. As he dusted himself off Asfolth nudged him gently in an apologetic way. He patted the horse fondly and then glared at the group of laughing elves.
Elrond composed himself first and fixed his gaze upon his laughing sons.
"What brings you racing back into Rivendell a week early ions nin" (my sons)
"Emphasis on the racing" Glorfindel muttered darkly while glaring at the pair of laughing elves.
This question sobered the two immediately. "I had a bad vision ada." Elrohir replied.
"Where is Estel?" Elladan questioned at the same time.
'My feeling was right then, if Elrohir sensed Estel's danger as well' Thought Elrond darkly
Glorfindel's face changed from annoyance to sympathy.
"Ada?" Elladan questioned softly.
"dÃhena enni ions nin" (forgive me my sons) Elrond said at last. "Estel is missing. He disappeared the same day you left on your hunt"
"We were just on our way to search for him again" Glorfindel added. "We shall come with you" Elrohir proclaimed
"Of course, while we are on our way you must tell me about your vision Elrohir" Elrond answered.
The twins handed their mounts to the grooms who gave them fresh horses. Then, all the elves mounted and rode out of Rivendell in search of one small boy, who was so special to them all.
