Chapter 6
"What's wrong!?" Iasbelin yelled at the Elf. She was lying in bed and she could not get up. She was stuck.
"Nothing My Lady." an Elf next to her soothed. The Elf rubbed Iasbelin's sweat ridden hair trying the calm her down. Iasbelin knew something was wrong. They wouldn't be whispering if everything had been as it should. She thrashed in her bed trying to get up and see what was wrong.
"I demand you tell me!" Iasblein screamed at the Elves in the room. They just looked at her with sad eyes and turned away as if they could not bear the sight of her.
"We should tell the King." One of the Elves whispered. Iasbelin heard him and panicked.
"Tell the King what?" Iasbelin was starting to become very frightened.
"Nothing, My Lady, sleep now." The Elf again brushed a hand over Iasbelin's forehead and she drifted into a restless sleep.
Iasbelin shot straight up in her bed. She was covered in sweat and tears. She looked outside at the sky and saw no moon. She quickly wiped the tears from her face and got out of bed. She grabbed her robe and tied it tightly around her frame. She walked out on to her balcony and looked at the stars. She wondered what Legolas was doing right now. It had been about two months since the Fellowship departed from Rivendell so far she had heard that Gandalf and Boromir were both taken by Death. She could no longer live with this. She needed to tell Legolas immediately what had happened all those years ago. She knew Lord Elrond was still awake so she ran out her door and went towards his study.
She found him at his desks studying papers. He had recently sent most of his kin, including Arwen, to the Undying Lands. Arwen's departure was tearful and difficult. Iasbelin knew that Aragorn was coming back but Elrond refused to believe it. Iasbelin had refused to go to because she knew that her time here in Middle Earth was not finished.
"My Lord, I do not wish to go on with this weighing on my heart. The guilt tears me apart each day I linger. Tell me where Legolas is and I will go to him." Iasbelin told him once she was sure he could hear her.
Elrond turned and faced the Elf. He looked at her small frame and noted her weakness and paleness. When she had come here she was healthy and glowing. In the past two months she had lost much weight and had become a ghost of who she once was. He would often find her placing her hand over her heart as if trying to keep it beating. He knew she was close to death and needed medical attention but she refused it each time. Elrond took pity on her and told her where to find her husband.
"He rides to Edoras with Aragorn, Gimli, and Gandalf. If you start now you should arrive a few days after their arrival. You may take any horse you wish my dear."
"Thank you, My Lord, I will never forget you kindness to me in this time." Iasbelin turned on her heel and walked back to her bedroom.
When she arrived at her room she quickly grabbed her riding dress and cloak. She changed in a hurry and put her hair into an up-do. Iasbelin picked up the dagger she had received from Legolas as a wedding present and tucked it into her cloak. She placed the hood over her head and ran to the stables to find a horse to take.
She knew the way to Edoras well and wanted to get their fast and without interruption. She chose a strong steed and mounted him quickly. She knew that she was too weak to on a journey such as this but she hoped that this would ease her conscience and help her return to normal. She kicked to horse to make him go and rode out of the stables without looking back at the place she had spent the worst days of her life. That place was her hospital and her torment. Her asylum and her freedom.
Elrond watched out his window as the last Elf he cared for left Rivendell. He sent a prayer her way and hoped that she reached her husband before time caught up with her. There had been too many deaths as a result of their current situation. He did not want to add another to that list.
"May the grace of the Valar protect you my child." Elrond prayed as he returned his attention back to the papers in his hands.
