((I'm going to have either of Elen's twins get sick...which would have to be either Eruaveil or Nedhudir....dunno yet))\

Elenanna turned her head as one of the younger elves of Mirkwood came running up to her. He said, "Lady Elenanna..Lady Eruvaiel and Lord Nedhudir have arrived..."

Elenanna sighed and closed her eyes. "Thank the Valar.." she murmured, knowing her children would be able to give her more strength. "Hannon lle, young one." she said.

Picking up her skirts, she hurried to the main entrance, and saw the twins enter. They were bantering, but stopped when they saw their mother. Eruaviel shook out her rain-soaked hair, and pulled the strands out of her face, before she went and embraced her mother tightly. Elenanna let a smile grace her lps, and Nedhudir smiled as he watched mother and daughter.

After hugging his mother, Nedhudir's face became grave, and Elenanna looked at him as he asked, "How is Father?" Elenanna sighed and she motioned for the twins to follow her. She started to walk to her husband's room, while explaining the symptoms Voronwe had suffered from as the illness grew worse.

Eruaviel and Nedhudir listened intently, and Elenanna sighed as she stopped at her husband's door.. "Don't be surprised at what you see." she warned the twins, before opening the door.

Both twins however, were taken aback at their father's appearance. They looked at each other, their eyes mirroring one question . "Can this really be our father?"

Meleth watched Aradan go uneasily. She couldn't help but think that if they stayed soon all of Mirkwood would be ill - and none of the royal siblings looked very good themselves, though that might only be stress.
"Come on, Tur," she called over her shoulder, beginning to half-run down the passage. "We need to hurry."

"Just what we need now..a storm." Aradan muttered, shaking his head upon hearing the rain literally drumming on the roof. Rubbing his forehead as a dull throb began in his head, he began trying to ignore it..it had to be just from stress.

Finally reaching her sister's room, Aranel sighed quietly, hearing coughing coming from the room, and pushed open the door and walked in. "You don't sound good at all." she said quietly to Elwen, who pointedly didn't look at her.

"I'm fine.."

Elenriel jumped at the noise and and quickly rubbed his back in an attempt to soothe him. "I need a healer now!" she ordered to the elven maiden that had just entered the room. The maiden nodded quickly and raced out of the room. Elenriel then turned back to her husband, her eyes filled with concern. She then chanted an elven spell which seemed to abate his coughing very slightly as she waited for a healer to arrive.

Legolas' coughing did indeed abate slightly, and soon calmed alltogether. "I'm alright now.." he managed to say, trying to calm Elenriel down.

Elenanna sighed, and she shook her head. "The healers are trying to stop him from entering the comatose state that could possibly lead to his death...but they still worry." she said.

Tur heard someone call her and she stood, dripping wet as she stood up and ran over to Meleth.
