Chapter 2: Love Never Dies.

Elrond looked at the arrow and recognised its mark as Saruman’s. He left it where it was, not wanting to risk further damage if he pulled it out.

‘This arrow will be poisoned if it comes from Saruman,’ he thought nervously.

“Aragorn!” he cried.

Aragorn came closer to his father and the Lord continued: “Ride back as fast as you can and tell them in the healing rooms to prepare for my arrival with Legolas.” Elrond picked up the Prince and carried him to his horse. He lifted the Prince into the saddle before carefully mounting the horse and riding after his son.

The twins gathered the warriors and led them back home, while Legolas’ guard, Gandalf and Glorfindel rode quickly after them.

As Aragorn arrived back at Imladris he alerted the servants to prepare the healing room. Arwen came to him as she heard his order.

“What is it my love? Are you hurt?” she asked him nervously.

“I’m fine my love. It is Legolas that is hurt,” he said while he prepared the room for the Prince and for his father’ tools and herbs.

A few minutes later Elrond rode into the courtyard, and Aragorn helped to take Legolas down from the horse, being careful not to touch the arrow. Elrond carried the Prince to the bed that had been prepared, then thanked his son and asked him to leave.

Legolas’ guards were next to arrive; they were concerned for their Prince, and wanted to see him, but Aragorn told them they would need to wait until Elrond was finished.

Hours passed by, and Elrond did not emerge from the healing room. The guards were starting to lose their patience, so Silinde made his way to the healing room and slowly opened the door. Saelbeth and Galdor followed him nervously; they were prepared to hear the worst.

The twins saw them at the door and tried to calm them by saying: “Our father is the best healer; he will not let the Prince die. Trust him!” Elladan said, as the brothers led the others away.

*~ Inside the healing room ~*

Elrond had sedated Legolas with strong herbs before he began to cut around the arrow with shaking hands, knowing that it would leave a mark on the Prince’s lovely body. He hoped that there was no infection around the wound as he easily removed the arrow.

“I will not let you die,” he said and the tears began to fall. “I love you Legolas Greenleaf.”

Once Elrond had removed the arrow, he placed a poultice of herbs on the wound to stop any poison spreading though Legolas’ body, before putting on the bandages.

All the while, he hoped that his love will live.

~*Outside the healing room*~

When Elrond left the room, Legolas’ guards gathered around him, wanting to know how their Prince fared; while Elladan and Elrohir tried elp elp their father from collapsing after the long surgery.

“I have removed the arrow. Fortunately there does not appear to be any infection, and the Prince should recover,” Elrond said to the guards, so they could stop being worried about Legolas.

“Aragorn.” The Lord of Imladris watched as his foster son approached him, then said: “Stay with the Prince for a while. I will go and change my clothes, and then I will join you.”

Aragorn entered the room, followed by the twins arwenrwen. Arwen saw the bandages on Legolas, and could see the blood on them from the deep cut that her father had made to remove the arrow. She felt faint and almost fell to the floor, but Elladan stopped her from falling and led her to a chair close to Legolas. He stood behind her, his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

Concerned about Legolas’ condition, Arwen asked: “How did this happen?”

“We prepared to do battle, but when we got there, we found Legolas already there, fighting alone against the orcs,” Aragorn explained.

“Why? Why would he do this? Why he didn’t wait for us?” Arwen asked, and Elladan answered: “He is the only one that can answer that, but we need to wait until he wakes up.”

In the meantime, Elrond had returned. The Prince was unconsciousness and was unaware of the words that slipped from his mouth.

“My fault…” Everyone looked at Legolas, surprised by the words, and worried at the same time.

“Did I hear clearly? Did he just say that it was his fault?” Elrond asked the
“I
“It seems so father,” Arwen said.

“…It was my fault father…” the words slipped from his Legolas’ mouth. “…They came for…me…”

“Call in his guards!” Elrond commanded his eldest son, Elladan.

Galdor, Silinde and Saelbeth were waiting outside; they were still nervous and worried for their Prince.

When the door to the healing room opened Galdor stood and walked over to Elladan who was coming towards them.

“How is our Prince?” Silinde asked him, concern in his voice.

“Come in, my father wants to ask you some questions,” Elladan asked them.

Galdor entered first as he followed Elladan inside the room, and saw his Prince’s condition. Silinde and Saelbeth came in after him and the questions they wanted to ask were in their eyes.

“I have to delay the council,” Lord Elrond said. When he saw their faces, he asked them worriedly: “You don’t even know about the council?”

“No,” Silinde said.

Galdor continued: “We came here for another reason. This is the first time that we hear about the council, my Lord.”

“…My fault…”

Galdor was shocked as he heard the Prince’s words and saw the worried look that the Lord wore.

“What did he mean by saying that it his fault?” Elrohir asked them.

“We came because of the escape of the creature that had been brought to our realm…” Galdor began to say, before Aragorn cut him off. “He escaped? How did he get away?” Accusation was heard very clearly in his voice.

“The orcs, my Lord, orcs came upon us unawares. We drove them off after some time; they were wild and fierce, but they came from the mountains, and were unused to the woods. When the battle was over, we found that Gollum was gone, and his guards were slain or taken,” Galdor said.

Saelbeth continued: “Legolas was there, fighting with them, and he saw them die. He feels so responsible for their deaths.”

“Did he know about his mother? How she died?” Elrond asked them suddenly.

“Yes, my Lord. Thranduil told him; he was born as she breathed her last breath, and her weak voice gave him his name,” Silinde said.

“Go and rest, all of you,” Elrond said. “I will remain here. Elladan and Elrohir – delay the council at least for a week until we know the condition of the Prince.”

They left Elrond alone with the Prince.

And as Legolas lay there, the demons from the past began to wake, and another wound in Legolas began to re-open – a wound from the past that all had thought had been closed.
