Description
“A question, Commander, if I may?” asked Elladan.

At Legolas’ nod, he asked a question he knew may be somewhat sensitive, and so he proceded with caution.

“What happened in the Company?”

Legolas sighed, sparing a quick glance at Dimaethor who turned his head towards the window. After a moment, Legolas answered him slowly, and rather quietly.

“We were already four short but had not had the time to recruit new members, for that was a time of much enemy activity. We were, ambushed – taken captive, and by the time it was over, we had lost seven, either to torture, or later succumbing to infection as we fled to safety. This event spurred my father’s consent to seek help, and thus the Spring Festival, for he realized then, that we could not, should not, continue to fight in solitude."

Elladan was sorry he had asked, for the full story would be nothing short of horrific, he was sure.

“I am sorry, my Lord, I did not mean to bring you sadness,” said Elladan.

From Arcane Land, chapter 7 by Alpha Ori (warning: mature content).
