Chapter 10: Awakening.
"Why are you here?" Aragorn asked. "I'm getting back what was mine, I used to live in the very lands you take for granted every day, little by little; I was not aloud in those lands anymore, Rivendell, Mirkwood, Gondor, all of them ban me from their lands. Now, I'm taking something from them that they will never forget. I failed in my attempts at the young-elf, but I won't fail at you. I have placed fear in your heart of the ones you loved, and now they don't even love you any-more." Goreneth replied. "Why are you doing this, to me, to my family?" Aragorn questioned.
"Because I can, you know they don't love you, admit it!" "No, that is a lie!" Aragorn shouted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"No, No, that is a lie, Leave me alone, NO!" Aragorn yelled. Lord Elrond and Elladan ran over to Aragorn. "Estel, wake up, you are having a bad dream, Wake up Estel!" Elladan said and the two elves started to shake the human awake. "Ada, where is Ada!" Aragorn yelled not opening his eyes. "I'm right here ion-nin, please open your eyes." Lord Elrond pleaded and continued to whipe his son's fever-induced forehead, with a damp cloth.
Aragorn slowly opened his eyes to see Elladan and Lord Elrond knealing beside him. "I'm sorry Ada, I did not mean what I said. I don't what is happening to me." He whispered. "You were poisoned by an orc blade, Elrohir went to go fetch a plant needed for the cure. " Lord Elrond said. "Where is Legolas?" Aragorn asked. "He is asleep, we are awaiting him to awake." Elladan said.
"I have an herb, that I am going to stitch into your side, so the poison will not spread anywhere else, do you understand Estel?" Lord Elrond said. He knew this was going to cause more pain than it normally would, but it had to be done. "Yes, Ada." Aragorn whispered.
Lord Elrond grabbed his knife, thread, and needle once more, and started to cut through the human's stitches. Aragorn winced when he put the knife at the first stitch. "Allright Estel, I want you to look at Elladan, listen to him, concentrate on his voice, allright son?" Estel nodded slowly then turned his face toward his brother, who was holding his hand.
Lord Elrond slit the first stitch, which made Aragorn cry out in pain. He tried to move his hand to the wound that was being cut open, but Lord Elrond stopped him. "Concentrate on Elladan's voice." Lord Elornd said, and looked into his son's eyes to see pain, and tiredness.
Aragorn turned his head again and faced his brother, who was now holding his hand tighter. "It will be over soon Estel, I promise, I promise Estel, just have faith." Elladan soothed. Aragorn concentrated on his brother's words, until he felt something being jabbed into his side, which made him cry out in pain. "Ada, can you put him to sleep for this?" Elladan asked hopefully.
"No, the medicine has to have time to take affect before I can give him anything like that, I know that heis in alot of pain, but he'll have to get through it." Lord Elrond said, and beginned to re-stitch the wound again.
Aragorn closed his eyes, as the pain rushed over him. He winced at every move his father made, and yelled at some of them, but he knew this was for the best, so he slowly accepted the pain.
Lord Elrond finished stitching his son's side then felt his forehead. As he had feared, his fever had gone up. "Estel, rest, for I know that you are tired." Lord Elrond said. Aragorn leaned back on his bed and closed his eyes. Elladan sat there and continued to stare at his brother.
Aragorn re-opened his eyes, and looked around. "Why are you not asleep, you need your rest." Lord Elrond asked, and laid a comforting hand on his son's forehead.
"I am in too much pain for sleep, and I am also afraid that he will come to me again." Aragorn whispered. "Who, who are you afraid of?" Lord Elrond asked. "Goreneth, he said to me that you did not love me, and that I should know that by now."
Lord Elrond looked heart-broken, "Estel, you know that I love and care for you truly, do not give in to his attempts to lure you into his web of deceipt, remember that I will always love you, now get some sleep, we will discuss this more later." Lord Elrond said and watched his son slowly fall asleep. He removed his hand from the top of his son's head, and heard a noise.
Elladan and Lord Elrond looked up to see Legolas stirring. The two rushed over to him, and pleaded for him to awaken. After moments of strugling, Legolas finally opened his eyes. "How are you feeling?" Lord Elrond asked. "I am in pain, but I can bear it. How is Aragorn?" Legolas asked and looked at his sleeping friend. "In pain, sadly he is also fighting off things in his head, that I do not know is real or not, we did not realize this before, but the wound you recieved to your shoulder, and the one Aragorn recieved to his side, were poisoned. Elrohir has went to go and get the plant that will help in your recovery." Lord Elrond said.
Lord Elrond reached for the herb that he had put in Aragorn and walked over to Legolas. "Ada, I have done that already, when we first found out that it was poisonous, I put it in his shoulder before I stitched it." Elladan said.
"Well, I am glad to hear that, I do not want to put you or Estel, into any more pain than you already have." Lord Elrond said and put the herb down. "Are you hungry, penneth?" Lord Elrond asked. "Not at the moment, right now I am tired, and I wish to go back to sleep." Lord Elrond walked over to his herbs to get one for sleeping, but when he turned around he found that Legolas had done fallen asleep. "Elladan, go get some food, for when they do awaken, they will need their energy."
Elladan nodded and headed toward the door, but then stopped, "Ada, what is the second stage of the Mathendous poison, for humans?" He asked. "It makes them grow weaker, the human has atleast ten days, some has survived for twenty, as the elf has nearly twenty to thirty, also he will be in more pain then he or we can bear to see him in, just pray that Elrohir will return before the Second stage has started." Lord Elrond answered and Elladan left for the kitchen.
Lord Elrond prayed to Valar, that his son would make it back in time with the plant needed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Elrohir and Sadarian rode swiftly through the woods that seperated Imaldris from Mirkwood. Elrohir almost ran into a tree when his horse came to a halt. "Elrohir, you will have to slow down, before you get yourself hurt." Sadarian said. "If we make haste, we can make this seven day trip, into a four or five." Elrohir stated.
"Well my horse need's to rest, we have nearly travelled seventy-miles already in three hours, come we shall find water, then head off again." Sadarian said. Elrohir knew he was right, you couldn't get to Mirkwood if you don't have a fit horse. So he followed Sadarian to a river just five miles from where they were.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Will Elrohir and Sadarian make it to Mirkwood and back in time? Are the two friends going to be allright until they come back with the plant? Will Goreneth convince Aragorn that his family does not love him?
Are they both going to continue to fight for their lives?
