Spiders And The Elven King

A Helping Hand Part 1

You knew you had been in this bed for a good while. For the past few weeks, you have slowly gotten stronger. The poison from that spider wound had really taken the fight out of you.

The first week since you woke up, King Thranduil (who had insisted you call him by his given name) had always attended to your needs, which really surprised you.

You were just an apprentice for Radagast, so you were completely shocked that Thranduil would take his time and help you with every little thing.

Even Legolas and Tauriel kept you company when you were up to visitors, which you loved. They always asked you what you did with Radagast and you would explain to them everything you told Thranduil when you had first woken up, all those weeks ago.

Though you did get lonely sometimes when Radagast always left without letting you know when he would be back. You didn't mind being by yourself, as you had many animal that would come up to you. That included Sebastian and the other hedgehogs, though you preferred speaking to people.

You also enjoyed Legolas and Tauriel's company, you knew that you had to leave this bed. You were becoming restless.

It was a shaky start as you pushed the covers off you and tentatively holstered your body to the edge of the bed. You then placed your left hand on the headboard and slowly got up.

Just as you stand, you buckle and land back on the bed. Your breathing was ragged and for a moment, you stayed put, waiting for your heart to go back to its original state.

Taking a deep breath, you slowly sat up again and decided to try again. You placed your left hand on the headboard once more and this time, you concentrated as you slowly got up from the bed. For a few minutes, you stayed put, trying to get your bearings together.

When you knew that you wasn't about to fall again, you slowly made your way towards the wardrobe, holding anything that could keep your balance. Upon arriving towards the wardrobe, you pulled it open with great difficultly and your eyes grew wide when you saw what was in there.

Many elegant dresses hung in there and you wondered who they belonged too. Seeing as you couldn't stay in this long stylish white robe, you hesitantly placed your right hand on a green dress that was nice to look at but was not as stylish as the others were.

Besides to your reckoning, you were praying that you would come across your own attire very soon. You didn't really like wearing other people's clothes, especially when you had no idea on who they really belonged too. It felt very wrong, but you knew you had no choice.

You change out of your nightwear and place the green dress over your head, before placing your arms in the short sleeves. You then tie the pretty green ribbon behind your back, before searching for footwear.

Bending slightly, you look down and see many, many shoes. Having no choice, you look through them and found a pair of light green flat shoes which seemed to be your size. You placed them on your bare feet, of course they fit perfectly, which was a little surprising.
