Long Lost Leaves - part II

Down in the deep Quickleaf saw his sword glimmering brightly from the few streaks of sunlight that reached its cold metal blade. It lay there on the riverbed amidst the fine sand and Quickleaf looked at it for a moment with admiration.. it reminded him of his father, his past, the elder days in Lorien.

Quickleaf went to reach for it but at that moment there was a quick succession of arrows. One arrow struck right below Quickleaf's neck, tearing his grey Elven cape off, and the other through his leg, sending the elf into a state of shock.. followed by an eerie silence. Quickleaf drifted out of consciousness as the dark red blood swirled around his light body and he lay motionless in the river while the canoes of above moved past him..

The grey Elven cape rose quickly to the surface and was carried away by the wake of the fast current behind the canoes and drifted downriver. With that all of Quickleaf's possessions that he had ever so long had since leaving Lorien were gone and the elf drifted alone in the cold Celduin river.
