Galadriel's Daughter, the Prophesied Child.

Chapter 8: Another Healing Session???

Chapter 8

Pharâzindil's POV

I was confused - so very, very confused. Galadriel...I mused. It rings a familiar bell somehow, though I wasn't quite sure why. And why was his pompous majesty all flustered up about it? Anyone - or rather- any elf, could see his shock.

"What is the matter?" I spoke up. "What revelation has your royalness discovered now, my lord?" with a touch of sarcasm.

I instantly regretted it a moment later, when his eyes snapped out of their daze and came to rest upon mine. I shivered, whether in fear or anxiety I did not know.

Thranduil's POV

I glared stonily at her.

"Your tone...is unacceptable. I am a KING!" I hissed at the impertinent elleth.

Remembering my earlier memories, I asked, "tell me elleth, what do you remember of your birth parents?"

Pharâzindil's POV

At his words, I recoiled. This was a touchy subject for me, as I felt as if I had been left on my human parents doorstep coldly, with no love. Even now, I still wondered at times, Did she - my mother - even ever love me?

And of course, the typical question, why did she abandon me?

Thinking this, I abruptly sat up, glaring at the king.

"That," I hissed furiously, "is none of your business. While I may thankful for your care and not leaving me in that stupid accursed forest to be eaten, this does not mean I give you permission to delve into my life" I snarled, pained.

Suddenly, a dizzy spell took me over, reminding me that I was not yet fully healed, and still very much in pain.

I moaned in agony. "huff....huff...argh!!!" I screamed, feeling something akin to a burning blade searing through my veins. What's happening, I thought. I was fine a minute ago.

The pain was so great, I almost pleaded to die at that moment. "Please..." I whimpered. "Make it stop - " With that, I promptly collapsed unto the floor, screaming. The last thing I saw before blacking out was a look of ...concern? I thought on the Elvenking's face.

But why would he be concerned about me?

Thanduil'sPOV

I caught her as she collapsed, crying out pitifully. What had happened, I wondered. My skill was something not to be trifled with, and I brought her back to life...unless- my eyes widened at my realization. "Pe-channas. Dôl gîn lost!" I cursed myself. " Idiot. Your head is empty!"

I had only brought her from the cusp of Mandos rule; I had neglected to purge the poison running through her veins.

Closing my eyes, I concentrated on her consistent heartbeat, which was slowing fading away with each ba-dump. Placing my hand above her wound, I tried pushing most of my magic into her veins, attempting to burn the poison out.

I shuddered in revulsion.

I could feel it. A sly, evasive, sticky, and shadow-like substance spreading rapidly from the wound and destroying everything in its path, like a dragon. No matter how much I burned away, still it pushed forth. I could almost see the black poison spreading through her veins.

"Echuio! Wake!" I commanded, praying for some unknown reason for her to open her eyes.

Please....I mentally begged. Never in my life, since my wife's death, did I feel this emotion of...tenderness. For some unknown reason, I felt as if she would be important of me.

Taking a sharp breath, I called out, " Boe de nestad! She needs healing!"

The healer came at once, rushing in and stopping to bow in respect. "Melda tár," she greeted. "Beloved king. How may I be of service?" she asked, glancing worriedly at the elleth which I placed gently on the bed.

"Heal her immediately," I ordered sharply. "Do not let her fall into shadow...again."

Noticing how she shook in fear, I took a breath and in a calmer voice, told her, "If you need assistance, I shall be here for the rest of the night, watching over her."

And thus begun the long hours healing the mysterious elleth.
