-Part 14-
Whole Again
Legolas rubbed his temple in soothing circles. After passing the same tree for what seemed to be the tenth time, the Elf halted his horse. He sighed in frustration at his helplessness. A large raindrop interrupted his thinking as it carelessly came crashing into his nose. The prince blinked furiously as the ricocheting droplets temporarily clouded his vision.
"What next!" The prince cried angrily up to the sky over a rumble of thunder. In a burst of rage he spurred his horse onward in one last attempt to come upon any clue that would lead him to the place of their last encounter with Malazack.
A bolt of lightning temporarily shed light on the path in front of him and knowing that previously they had veered off the path Legolas decided to follow suit considering the fact that he was already hopelessly lost.
Branches and leaves tore at the prince's face and arms leaving behind scratches where they had struck him. A deafening crack of thunder resounded through out the heavens; He needed to find the powder no matter how impossible it seemed. The woods were so dark that Legolas was utterly unaware that a cliff was nearby. He hit the clearing at a full gallop and realizing the danger pulled hard on the reigns in an attempt to stop his horse from plunging down the cliff.
His horse's chest heaved up and down; they had stopped just in time. Legolas sighed in relief.
Suddenly when all seemed calm a bolt of lightning struck a nearby tree causing his horse to rear up in terror. Legolas slipped from the saddle and began a downward plunge off the cliff's edge. He reached out his hand in hopes of grabbing the rock face but instead felt another being grasp it. Elrohir smiled down from above as he held fast to the prince's arm.
Glorfindel and Elrohir pulled the prince up with little difficulty despite the rain and when he was finally safe again they covered him with a cloak.
"Elrohir, you must get the poison." Legolas said frantically as the twin carefully helped him onto his own mount. Glorfindel smiled as he pulled the now sealed jar of blue powder from inside his cloak.
"Rest my friend." Elrohir said as he mounted behind Legolas, who after some time became unconscious.
The rain had become nothing more than a drizzle when the two elves finally returned with the prince, all of them soaking wet and miserable. Elladan greeted them with a grin and while helping them inside made sure that he frequently remarked on the sad looking shape that his twin was in. Legolas was taken to his personal room that he stayed in during his long visits, dressed in dry clothes and placed in bed.
The twins, ignoring their father's request to be woken upon the prince's arrival, checked on their brother and friend throughout the night after suggesting to Glorfindel that he get some sleep. Despite his arguments that he was not an elfling and would retire to his chambers when he was ready, he also slept for the remainder of the night.
Elladan remained in Elrohir's room, where the pair quietly talked and eventually fell asleep together.
Their family waswhole again.
