The Sickness

A few days had pasted since the starlight festival  the blanket of snow had thickly covered Mirkwood.  Fern had a woken to an empty bed she normal woke to and empty be as Thranduil would have went to the throne room Fern decide to surprise him by going their herself she got up washed and put on a pair of  black leggings a green tunic with a simple sliver belt around the tunic she walked happily out of the room to be greeted by horrible sight all the staff were sick coughing and sneezing filled the hallway she walked by everyone whispering Elvish Fever then a crying child could be heard Fern followed the crying to Arwen Elrond was trying to soothe her her was trying to rock Arwen back to sleep  

Arwen: " I want Fern "

she cried her cries broke Fern's heart so she gently knocked on the door 

Fern: " Elrond it is me we appear to have an outbreak of Elvish Fever so if you or Arwen feel sick i would advise you to go to the healer"

Lord Elrond: " Fern can you come in Arwen is crying and says she wants you please come try and soothe her"

Fern entered the room quietly as Elrond passed Arwen to her 

Fern: " Arwen what is the matter with my sweet little girl"

Arwen snuggled her head into crook as Fern gently checked Arwen temperature as Arwen coughed into Fern's neck

Fern: " She is warm and coughing take her to the healing wing tell them to give you winter arrow it help with the sickness "

Lord Elrond: " Thank you Fern Thranduil is asking for you he is in the throne room"

Fern: " No problem Elrond now get well soon Arwen"

Fern exited Elrond's room and skipped her way to the throne room where she heard a huge bang Fern picked up the pace to a run and quickly sprinted to throne room to see Thranduil laying on the steps to his and Fern's Thrones she ran to Thranduil flipping him over he was heavy but she managed 

Thranduil: " A love I was just coming to find you we have to"

Thranduil sounded like he was drunk but Fern knew he wasn't for he didn't smell of wine Fern brushed her hand gently across his forehead 

Fern: " Thranduil my love you are burning up Elvish fever I suspect can I get some help in here please"

Guards came rushing in seeing the king collapsed they pushed past Fern shoving her onto the ground one helped her up from the ground 

The Guard: " My queen I am so sorry what can we do to help"

Fern: " Help me bring him to our chambers "

The Guards helped Thranduil to his feet and brought him to their chambers he was lay on their bad Fern dismissed them a she went to fill a basin with water and soaked clothes before removing Thranduil heavy robes leaving him in his tunic and leggings she put the clothes on his forehead and arms to cool him down before running to the bathroom to find some winter arrow it was the cure for Elvish fever it grew outside the north realm where Fern's kind where from she mixed the winter root with the clothes before putting them again on Thranduil she noticed he was clutching a to-do list in his right hand so she gently removed it examined it before Thranduil began to stir his head was pounding 

Thranduil: " Fern can you close the curtains please"

Fern: " Yes my love do you need anything else before I go"

Thranduil: " No where are you going"

Fern: " Just to my study call if you need anything"

And Fern trotted off to her study she worked through the list until there was no more day light she was now working by candle light writing letter explaining to the kings of other realms that she would be taking care of things and Greenwood was over run by Elvish Fever so it would not be wise to come any meeting were to be held off until farther notice then she her someone mumbling in their bedroom she walked in to see Thranduil trying to sit up 

Fern: " That would not be wise to do my love Elvish Fever will have you down for at least two weeks"

Thranduil huffed and sighed 

Thranduil: " And what are you doing that is so important you can not sit beside me"

Fern: " Nothing I just want to complete your work for you"

Before Fern could finish her sentence Thranduil fell asleep she smiled down at him before going back to her study
