Interlude 1
Back to Imladris: Aragorn
Aragorn could feel his eyes, closing. 'No, I have to stay awake…' he was determined in his mind and forced his eyes to stay open.
Elrond tried to fight and passed through the bunnies. He could feel how their teeth touch his skin. Blood was oozing from where he had been bitten.
While Aragorn tried to keep his eyes on the giant bunny a white light appeared behind him and Elrond as they watched and hissed from the pain, they were both shocked by the sight.
"A… Arathorn?" Elrond asked, as he could see a blurred image of Aragorn's father, he could feel the power it held.
Aragorn heard the name that left Elrond's mouth, and was tempted to drop his gaze from the huge bunny, to see his father, the one that he dreamt about, his true father.
"Do not give up, my son, you can beat it," Aragorn heard, and focused his eyes on the huge bunny, as his father's voice was still being heard, "I am proud of you…" and with that the glow vanished, and Aragorn could see how the giant bunny faded in the wind.
Aragorn sighed with relief, and could feel his eyelids dropping, as he sank to the ground. The darkness soon surrounded him as tiredness claimed him or so it seemed.
Elrond could see a pool of blood near his foster son. He felt his heart pounding harder and faster, not knowing if the man was alive or not.
