Thanks Invisigoth! Thanks Rebel! lol, nope, you're not supposed to ignore the trees! ((shakes head)) lol, lets see what happens when he doesn't listen, shall we?
Aragorn couldn't get back to sleep.
He had been awake all night. For some reason, he just couldn't fall asleep. Something about the air was uneasy, unsettled. He unsecsussfully tried stiffle a yawn that displayed all of his teeth. He glanced over at Legolas who was staring out the window, he was unusually quiet. Usually, his friend would have been laughing and joking, even pleading to be let outside. But instead, he seemed very preocupied today and kept looking out towards the forest. When Aragorn or Thranduil asked him questions, he only answered with two or three words. Like, "Yes," and "No.." and also, "Hmm?".
The sun had reached its highest peak when Aragorn began to nod off.
"You, ranger." a rough voice awakened his conciousness.
"Hmm.. Wha-?" He looked up at the healer, Landir's brother. His face was grave, his eyes a little red. It looked as if he had no more tears. Gray eyes glanced toward the King and his son. They had also dozed off.
"Aragorn, is this true? You could have saved my bother?"
Aragorn sighed, he guessed this elf was in shock, and denial. He chose his answer carefully. "Landir, rushed into battle and died defending his kingdom. We did all we could to help him, but Shebak was too quick." He cast his eyes downward.
The healers eyes flashed a dull red, but subsided as quickly as it had come. "That is good. He did not suffer?"
"No. I do not think he did. He died an honorable death, he would not want you suffer because of his choice." Aragorn said.
Meor snorted. "An honorable death is meanless. By the end of the day, you're dead. You can't come back."
The ranger looked slightley surprised. Usually elves didn't speak so openly or bluntly...
Meor sighed, all trace of anger had left his eyes. "Aragorn, you must be careful. The trees have been warning us that something is comming. They cannot, or will not speak its name. You must guard the prince with your life."
TBC... (MUAHAHAHA)
