The Hunter of Light Elves

Chapter 3:~The new enemy~

(Next day)

Elora looked around in the throne room. She felt so lost and scared. She just hoped Eldridge had found out who had been behind the assassination attempt on her.

Suddenly, Eldridge entered the hall, "Elora, Lord Niam has revealed some clues about who put him up to assassinate you," And Elora went over to him in a hurry, "Who? What did he describe?,"

(Some hours later)

"Can you tell us what he told you?,"Thranduil asked worriedly. And Eldridge sighed, "Niam never saw his face. But it was a man in dark cloak. The man had ordered him to poison Elora and then tell her to get some air and then this man was meant to kidnap her. The man had threatened to kill him if he didn't do as he wished," And Elora looked at Eldridge, "But that means this man must have met with Niam last night before the feast," "But if The spirits of The Light Elves knew about the poison, maybe they also knows who he is,"Aragorn sated. And Elora sighed, "But how shall we find out if they did. It's not like they're just going to show up and tell me. They're dead," And she looked up, "But wait. I have had time exploring since I took back my Kingdom. That's how I knew about Arnel and his family and his brother Pharom who was murdered in this very meeting hall. Maybe this man belongs to the same family line who tried to murder them. Pharom died but Arnel survived. There must be some connection with this man and the ones who plotted against Arnel. They wouldn't watch me this closely if it wasn't," And Emersion nodded, "It's possible," And Elora smiled, "I'll be right back," And she left.

Some minutes later, Elora came back with a golden dreamcatcher, "This contains memories of Arnel and Pharom's lives during Arnel's reign over 'The Light Kingdom'," And Emersion used his magic on the dreamcatcher and memories showed up.

The council in The Light Kingdom sat down on their seats in the meeting hall. No one noticed the men with knifes in their hands who stood behind Arnel and his big brother Pharom.
Doir wasn't in the meeting this day since he was away on a occasion in Mirkwood.

The meeting was just to begin when one of the men drew his knife,
"NO!,"Meara cried out to her sons since she sat on the other side in the meeting with the other women's.
And Arnel looked up.

The man stabbed Pharom in the back and everyone stood up in panic. And another man held a knife against Arnel's neck.
Arnel was forced to cut with the knife in his neck to break free from the murder's grip and he fell to the stone floor,
"NO!,"He could still hear his mother's scream and his sister's was trying to get her and her mother out of the hall.
People had started to flee out of the hall as the murder's continued to attack Pharom who did his best to defend himself and Arnel was still lying on the floor.

"We need to get out!,"Their cousin told their youngest sister. "No, wait! Mother!,"Their youngest sister cried. "Come on! We need to go!,"Their cousin said desperately to the youngest sister.

Pharom pushed away the men from his brother and held out a knife to Arnel and a man grabbed Pharom and stabbed him in the back again, "Pharom! Pharom!,"Arnel screamed.

One of the servants had stayed to help the princes and aimed a torch with fire against the murder's.

One of the men stabbed Pharom once more, and blood came out of Pharom's mouth,
"NO!,"Meara screamed.
"Pharom!,"Arnel cried as he himself fell to the floor, people still running out of the hall.

The man stabbed Pharom once again in the stomach. Suddenly, the hall was empty. Only, Arnel, Pharom, the servant and the murder's were left and Arnel and Pharom's mother.

The men aimed their knifes against Arnel who stood between them.

The other two men stabbed Pharom a last time before they let him fall to the floor dead.

"NO! My boy! Help him!,"Meara screamed. "Mother! We have to go!,"Mirel said in panic. "Arnel! The Secret room!,"Mirel yelled to her brother. "GET HER IN!,"Arnel exclaimed. "Pharom! MY BOY! NO!,"Meara screamed.

And a man stared at them and smiled wickedly for himself before he disappeared.

Arnel went aside as a murder tried to hit him again. And Arnel took the opportunity to stab him and grab the murder's knife and the murder fell to the floor dead.

"Arnel! Come this way!,"Mirel yelled. And Arnel run against his sister when he stumbled to the ground and faced the murder, "Tiro! Tiro!," He begged. "Kill him!,"The unknown man yelled. And the man leaned forward when Arnel grabbed him and stabbed him and Tiro fell to the floor.

Arnel stood up and pushed away the murder's to get to his brother, "Pharom! Pharom!," And he knelt beside him, "No!," He mumbled. But his brother was already dead.

And the servant came running with his torch and was stabbed by one of the murder's in the stomach and dropped the torch.
"NO! Ah!, Nevarah!,"Arnel yelled. And he stood up and hurried over to his friend and helped him up and backed against the secret room as he aimed his knife against the murder's and suddenly, Mirel showed up and knocked out Tiro.
"Get in! Get in! Alright! Get in!,"Arnel yelled to his sister and they entered the secret room and hurried to close the door and berate the door.

"You left him?,"Meara asked, "You left Pharom?," And Arnel turned to his mother, "Mother, please!," "No, no, no, you get out there,"Meara said in panic. "Mother,"Arnel sighed sadly. "No, no! You get him! Get out!,"Meara said in panic. "I am sorry! I'm sorry! He's dead!,"Arnel exclaimed. And Meara broke out in tears and turned away from her son and Arnel looked at his sister sadly. Their brother was dead.

Mirel cleaned her brother's wound on the neck. "I should have known! I should have listen to him and he would have still been alive!,"Arnel cried.

And suddenly, they noticed that it had become completely quiet and they dared to leave the hall.

Meara hurried over to her son who was laying on the floor, badly injured and was dying and she knelt down beside him.
Arnel and Mirel knelt down on the other side of their brother and Arnel put his on his brother's chest, "I should have listened to you," And Pharom looked up at his brother weakly, "Better late than never,"He mumbled. And Arnel, Miriel and Meara smiled.

Pharom looked up at the ceiling, "Together in Valinor. I'll wait for you," And he closed his eyes and died. And Meara looked down at her son and started crying again. And their other friend Alas knelt down at them and looked at Pharom sadly.

Arnel felt his anger rise and he stood up and began to leave the meeting hall.
"Where are you going!?," Miriel asked. "My people need to know I'm alive,"Arnel said angrily. "You're injured. Mother's is right, they left us here. Leave the fight 'til another day!," But Arnel didn't listen and Mirel grabbed Alas arm, "Go with him! Please protect him!," And Alas nodded.

(Outside the castle)

Arnel stood in the middle of the circle of his people as Tiro's men was brought to justice,
"These men plotted to kill me!,"Arnel began, "Plotted to kill me and my brother in the meeting hall! In the middle of the meeting! In the middle of mass! These are not crimes against my family! These are crimes against The Valar! I escaped! But my brother... My brother... My brother is... My brother is dead. And now... I want the entire 'west family' hunted down and wiped out. I want 'the west name' expunged from history!," And the people cheered.

Elora took down the dreamcatcher. "Do you think this man may belong to 'The west family'?," Legolas asked. And Elora sighed, "I think so. There's no chance Arnel could have managed to kill every last one of them,"

And Elladan sighed, "Then we need to be careful," And suddenly, Elora noticed Arnel's spirit staring at her and Elora went over to him, "Why are you watching me?," And Arnel looked at her, "We're always watching you, sister. 'The west line' still exists, Ithildin. And the last one of their line is hunting you, Elora. Be careful," And he disappeared.

And Elora swallowed and turned to the others,
"One still lives and he's coming for me," And Legolas swallowed.
