(-)Chapter 12(-)
The second the doors were shut behind them he quickly went about searching for his weapons and pulled them out, wrapping them in his overcoat that had been stuffed into a chest. He pulled out all their things and rolled them into a cloak along with two other cloaks and handed the bundles to two shocked elves.
"Uhm... Master wished these be brought to him, I don't know why, just told me to bring the things from the chest, and I can't carry them all by myself," he muttered as a way of explanation.
"I see," the sudden hope in the older elf's eyes died.
Aragorn flinched guiltily as they exited the armory and headed for the dungeons, "I have to bring them to Master."
"Of course," Elrond muttered.
Aragorn inched around the corner and shifted, "Master?"
Venatral turned and grumbled slightly from where he stood in front of the elves' cell.
Aragorn reached out and took his sword from Elrond, and quickly made his way to stand in front of the man, "You asked for this," he muttered, then glanced up and smirked wickedly at him and whacked him over the head with the pommel.
"Estel?" Elladan yelped hopefully.
Aragorn smirked again, "I've been wanting to do that for a very long time. Thank you ada for giving me the opportunity!"
Elrond blinked in shock.
Lindir just gaped at him.
Aragorn rolled his eyes and knelt, flipping the unconscious man over and pulling a set of keys out of his pocket and unlocked the cell. He squeaked as the three elves jumped on him.
"Ai Estel!" Elrohir laughed, "you had us so worried!"
Aragorn laughed, "I worried you? I had no idea what they were doing to you!"
Legolas grinned and pulled the human into a tight hug, "How long have you been normal?"
Aragorn smiled innocently, "Well... just since Kelanus died."
"What!" Elladan exclaimed quietly, "And you didn't tell us!"
"I tried to! I couldn't say anything while the guards were about."
"I suppose..." Elrohir blinked, "ada? When did you get here?"
"Two months ago," the elf muttered flatly.
Aragorn shot him an innocent smile, then paused and cursed quietly, "The guards are coming," he muttered picking up his sword and handing the three elves their weapons.
A moment later a group of eleven men turned the corner.
Aragorn knocked the first out out swiftly and smirked slightly at the shocked looks from the other guards.
Within a few moments all of them lay unconscious on the floor, though the elves had moved on around the corner to fight off a few more that had followed these, Aragorn quickly made sure they were all out and moved to join them.
He paused, six of the seven lay unconscious and the last was on his knees, waiting to be knocked out with the others.
"Ai! Ada wait!" Aragorn said as soon as he recognized the one on the floor.
He walked over and laughed, "Get up Sardyn before I knock you out myself."
The hooded being's gaze shot up in obvious shock, "Ruith!"
Aragorn grinned, "No, I'm his twin. Yes Sar, up!" he pulled his friend to his feet.
"When did this happen? Your memories returned?"
"Aye, have had them since I killed Kelanus," he winced, "sorry, I tried to tell you but your just so dense for one of your kind."
Sardyn was half-way to his feet when that sentence finally clicked, "Wait... you... you know?"
"I've known for a long time now," he smiled reassurringly, "so come! We'll get Meril and go, I just have to go get Nathil, I think he's still hiding in the cell," he laughed and dissapeared around the corner.
Sardyn stood, shifting uneasily under the intense gazes of the elves.
Elrond smiled slightly then and placed a hand on his shoulder, "A friend of my son is a trusted one," he pulled the cloth that had been tied around his head to hide his ears off.
Lindir blinked and simply copied his lord.
Aragorn came around the corner then with the young terrified human and smiled, "Let's get out of here."
"Gladly!" the twins exclaimed with a laugh.
They all followed the man upstairs and he immediately headed for the kitchen, it was almost time for lunch so the elfling would be in the kitchen cleaning up after the cooks.
The large group stopped and waited in the hallway and Aragorn and Sardyn headed down the hall and into the kitchen.
Aragorn's sharp gaze swept the room and he spotted the small child on the floor cleaning up a pile of flour that had been dumped. He swiftly made his way around the cooks and picked her up off the floor.
She blinked, "Ruith?" she smiled at him, "Hello!"
He grinned, "Hello Meril!" he turned and headed back towards the door, "I'm going to show you something okay?" he didn't want it to look too suspiscious that he was taking her out of the room and away from her job.
As soon as they shut the door behind them the two took off at a run down the hall, the others falling in behind them.
The elfling's eyes widened when they left the house only to continue running, only now it was toward the stables.
The two elves that came here on horseback quickly claimed their horses. Sardyn and the three elves and two human's that didn't have horses simply pulled out six of Venatral's horses.
Aragorn put the child up on the horse and swung up behind her, pushing the horse forward and taking off in the direction of Rivendell.
Khelekmeril twisted slightly and stared up at him wide-eyed, "Ruith? Where're we going?"
"Away," Aragorn smiled, "I told you I'd get you out."
She grinned happily and leaned back against him.
Sardyn pushed his horse up next to the man's and cocked his head to the side, "How long have you known?" he shouted over the wind.
"Like I said! A long time! Or if you want a more specific answer then, since I got my memory back, I live with elves, it isn't difficult to tell!" he laughed.
Elrond glanced over from his son's other side, "What's not difficult to tell?"
"Can you not tell ada?"
"Ada?" Sardyn looked confused and shocked at the same time, "Well you're just full of surprises aren't you?"
"They never end," Elladan laughed from behind them.
"Wouldn't that be our fault?" Elrohir asked, making sure he was loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Of course it's your fault," Legolas called, rolling his eyes, "who else could have ruined him in such a way?"
"Glorfindel!" they answered as one.
Lindir just laughed.
Aragorn rolled his eyes, "Thank you Legolas! I thought you were my friend!"
"It was all a cover human!" he joked, "I just needed a way to get to the twins!"
"I feel so used! Can't get to them yourself? You have to use me?"
Elrond sighed and glanced across his son's horse to the hooded being on his other side, "You'll be hearing a lot of this! This is you last chance to escape, once they catch you you're stuck for life."
Sardyn shook his head, "Lucky me!" his voice sounded somewhat worried though.
Aragorn paused in his bickering, "Are you okay Sar?"
Nathil stayed silent, though he looked highly amused as the twins and Legolas continued arguing.
"I'm fine Ruith."
"You don't seem it," he called back worriedly.
"Nay I'm fine."
Aragorn frowned at him but shrugged, "Alright."
(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)
Nathil burst out laughing, "You can't be serious!"
"Oh I am!" Elladan smirked wickedly, "he fell right off the railing on his balcony and fell right on top of poor Erestor! Poor elf ended up breaking his arm. Estel came out fine, just dazed."
Aragorn groaned from his spot around the fire, "Elladan! Must you?"
"Of course! But that's not the best part."
"Oh no," Elrohir snickered, "Erestor was knocked out! When he woke up and asked what had happened Estel had blamed it on his railing!"
Elladan laughed, "He-he said it moved! If only you could have seen the look that poor elf gave him!"
Aragorn by this time had snuck up behind the two and pounced on them, dumping a flask of water on their heads.
"Ai! Estel!"
Elrond sighed, "Enough you three."
Legolas glanced over at his friend once he stopped laughing and cocked his head to the side, "In the dungeons, I had forgotten to ask, what did you mean when you said he was 'dense for one of his kind'?"
Aragorn glanced over at Sardyn, "If you want to tell them it's up to you."
Sardyn sighed and pulled his hood off, his long, silver hair falling free of it to cover his face, he slowly reached up to push it behind his ears and glanced up slowly, looking quite unsure of what he was doing.
