Welcome back!

Dear Sea Foam,

Estel has come home.

I do not know if I want him home under these circumstances however.

Elrohir

It was a single rider that burst into Rivendell that night.

But if you looked closer you could see another figure on the horse, unconscious and held tightly on board by the first.

As they got nearer Elrohir could recognize Estel, and in his arms… by the Valar…

"Elladan! Elrohir! Please, Help!"

Estel's shout was enough to startle Elrohir into action. He helped ease the unconscious rider from the saddle. Carrying him into the last homely house, while Elladan helped Estel

Eru, How were they going to explain this to Thranduil?

Another arrow buried itself into the target.

Maethor had been practicing for hours everyday since he had gotten the bow.

The weapon felt right to him, an extension of his being. The wood of the grip fitting comfortably in his hand, worn by hours of practice.

His arrows had gotten longer and longer as time went by and as his strength grew. The bow was now a perfect fit.

His practice had become a pleasure as well as a way to work out his almost constant frustration.

The slither of wood on wood and the thud of the arrow hitting the target a release for his anger.

He didn't know why he let the feelings control him.

He knew he shouldn't, but it felt so good.

Another good shot.

He could sense a presence behind him. Naurion.

"Maethor, you have been practicing all day. The lake is cool and I wish to go for a swim."

Maethor reached back to his quiver without looking at him.

Naurion caught his hand, pushing it back down to his side.

"Come, Maethor. You can't go on like this forever."

Naurion gently took the bow from Maethor's hands and slung it over his shoulder.

"Let us go and put this away for a while shall we?"

Lalorn watched from the doorway of her home as Maethor and Naurion walked down the forest trail. It was good to see him get out. He had been hiding for to long

And in that moment she knew that everything would work out in the end.
