Silmarillion: A Distant Future

Chapter Fourteen

When Thranduil opened the door he instantly frowned when he saw Maglor holding Aegnor who was breathing deeply and Xander who was standing on one foot than other since apparently, he had sprained his ankle. Thranduil stood the side and they came in very quickly. Maglor brought Aegnor to the couch and looked at Thranduil, "Do you have a first aid kit and sewing kit?" He asked.

"I do," Thranduil said and went to get them as Maglor moved up Aegnor's shirt to look at the wound again. Xander did a good job to stop the bleeding and Maglor sighed softly and looked at Aegnor. The wound was not that bad but Aegnor was out of it and sweating.

"Easy, Aikanáro. You'll be okay," Maglor said to him. Aegnor looked at him and nodded slightly. Maglor then looked back up when Thranduil came back with a tray. He brought him exactly what he needed to patch up the gunshot wound plus some alcohol and something to give Aegnor to calm him down and something to make sure he will feel less pain. He looked up at him and Thranduil pointed at Xander, "Ask him."

Maglor just chuckled a bit and gave Aegnor the medication to help him with the pain. He then went back to cleaning the wound. Aegnor winced slightly as he cleaned the blood away from the wound. He then worked on removing the bullet and the broken bones. Apparently, the bullet passed through a part of the bone of the bottom of the rib cage. Thankfully the bullet did hit anything important and just left him with a broken rib. Aegnor then started to close the wound and bandage the wound. Aegnor who was much more relaxed so he did not seem to be feeling much of the pain. Maglor sat back and let out a huge breath. He looked at Aegnor who had fallen asleep rather quickly.

"It looks like he also has a broken wrist," Xander said from his seat. Maglor sat forward a bit and looked at Aegnor's wrist. It did look broken. Maglor sighed and relaxed it must have broken from the fall. He must have fallen harder than he first thought. Maglor took care of the broken wrist but he was going to wait to put it in the sling. He stood up and sat down in a chair across from Aegnor.

"It seems that you three ran into trouble," Thranduil replied looking at Maglor and Xander.

"Yeah," Maglor replied and then explained to him what had happened what happened. Thranduil listened as he leaned against the wall as he listened to him. Thranduil nodded and listened closely. Xander listened closely as well and leaning his head back.

"Interesting," Xander replied. "You said that the sniper felt a Sniper?"

"I did," Maglor replied. "I do not know what to even think about things. They seem well off and know exactly what they are doing."

"It also sounds they know how to stay under the radar," Thranduil said. "Since it's odd how none of us heard anything, we should have heard something from the media by now but there is nothing."

"He's right. I can continue to look into it if you want," Xander said.

Maglor shook his head and said, "No. It's fine for now we will just act as normal. Yet, when we get back the U.S we'll need to figure out to do with Aegnor once he's done healing from his wounds."

"I do have a few branches there if you want I can most likely get him a job," Thranduil said.

"Really?" Maglor asked.

"Yes. Better to offer it now then after Xander hawks me over that fact." He replied. Xander just chuckled and said, "yep."

"Thank you very much for that offer and we'll definitely see. Also, sorry I got you pulled into this. I mean if they come af-" Yet, Maglor was cut off by Thranduil as he said, "Nothing will happen to me, if they even attempt to they will learn quickly not too."

"Yeah. Messing with the Elven King is a sure way to get yourself killed." Xander replied.

"Well everyone but you," Maglor said.

"Got that right," Xander replied with a laugh and Thranduil just rolled his eyes.

"Well, you two should rest up after what happened. You may stay here as long as you need and to avoid any questions I can get you a ride back to the U.S that's away from everyone." Thranduil said and then with that left the room. Maglor looked at Xander for an explanation but he just sat back and chuckled a bit.
