Chapter 3: Ice Covered Trails
Aragorn rode hard, pushing his horse faster and faster over the slippery terrain. Tears blinding his vision, and anger and hurt boiling in his heart. Over and over he could hear Lord Elrond's hurtful words in his mind.....edan. He was never called that by his foster father, but even now as they rang through his head, he could hear the hatred encased in one single word.
Wiping away the tears from his cheeks, he looked around and noticed where he was for the first time. They had ridden far, fast and were now many leagues away from Imaldris, but still had not reached the border of Rivendell.
Pushing his horse on , who was now weary from running so far, they came to a steep decline in the trail. Unaware of the ice that covered over this part of the trail, they galloped down the dangerous hill. Suddenly Nathaniel slipped, and fell, throwing his rider off. As Aragorn hit the cold ground his head connected with a hard rock and he knew no more, the world went black.
Nathaniel climbed back to his feet and walked over to his master, who lay sprawled out in the snow. There he stood, trembling in fear and exhaustion, waiting for Aragorn to wake up so they could continue their journey. But he never even moved.
One day later, a group of men rode slowly through the woods of Rivendell. The men were the Rangers of the North and had been travelling through this area scouting for orcs that had been reported here. Halbarad, the leader of the group was, at that moment, describing to his fifteen companions, the beauty of Rivendell, for he had journeyed to the ancient Elven Realm, many a time. Usually to visit Gilrean and her son.
Suddenly one of the Rangers who rode in the lead, noticed hoof marks on the icy road.
" Someone rode along this path at a great speed, not less than a day ago." The Ranger, Colton, told Halbarad.
"Keep an eye out for more tracks or anything unusual, It could have been a scout. We may be heading into an ambush, ere we have not paid a keen eye to the surrounds." He replied in a low voice.
" Talen, Helent ride ahead and tell us of what you see."
The two Rangers spurred their horses forward and canted along the path a short distance, when they suddenly halted and Helent turned his steed and came back to the group, while Talen continued cautiously along the path.
" Halbarad, there is someone on the path ahead. It looks as though he has fallen from his mount, ere he lies unmoving." He, Helent, told the leader.
" Come let us go to him, he may be in need of our aid." Said Halbarad, loud enough for all to hear.
Swiftly they came to where Talen had dismounted and was now pulling a blanket from his saddle bag.
"Friend or foe?" Asked Halbarad, also dismounting.
"Friend, I am afraid." Said Talen "Tis Strider."
Halbarad rushed to the body in the snow and gently felt for a pulse. For a moment, his heart dropped, for he felt none there, but then he felt the most faintest heart beet murmuring beneath his finger tips, if it were not for his well trained fingers he would have felt naught. The old Ranger moved a hand onto the younger mans forehead and despite being hypothermic he had a raging fever.
"We need to get him warm and dry, for I fear too soon he may already be lost to us." Said Halbarad, taking the blanket off Talen and placing it over Strider's body. As gently as he could he lifted the young Ranger into his arms, and was shocked at how cold and stiff he was. But no one noticed the blood covered snow where Strider's head had lain.
" Someone get his horse." Halbarad called over his shoulder to the others, as he passed Strider to another Ranger, so he could mount his horse. Once settled upon the animals back, the frozen body of his young friend was passed back to him.
Once all had remounted they rode east a short distance, before halting beside a small, flowing brook. Here they dismounted and began to set up camp. Orders were barked and they each set about their appointed task. One of the men had gotten a small fire going, where Halbarad now sat with Aragorn, who lay on a blanket. Quickly Halbarad removed Aragorn's wet clothes and replaced them with some of his own dry ones, from his pack, then he wrapped the limp body in thick, warm blankets.
" Come on Strider," The old Ranger whispered, whilst rubbing Strider's chest, legs and arms, trying to help him regain some body heat. After deciding that it was not working, he pulled his friend onto his lap, with his head resting in the crook of his arm.
He drew the blankets closer around the hypothermic body and held him close to his own chest, trying to give him some of his body heat. He listened carefully to the rattly breathing and knew that Strider was very sick. He moved his hand to the back to Strider's head to reposition it when he felt something warm and sticky. Blood. Carefully he lay him back down on the blanket by the fire, and noticed that he wasn't breathing...........................
Oh no! Poor Aragorn! What will happen? Bum bum bummmmmmmmmm! Please send me Reviews! I love reviews.... They make me happy and when I am happy I love to write! *hint hint* (
