Disclaimer: I do not own the Hobbit or any of Tolkiens work, only Tiaashar.
Summary: Balin was the one who always told me the story of Erebor, Thorin did not. Being raised by Dwarves is harder than ever, but I never imagined that I could been tortured in front of my loved once eyes, especially when I am suppose to save Thorin from his fate.
Full summary: Leaving with the Dwarves to Erebor is an easy thing, also through some of the danger. But not everything goes quite as I thought it would. Balin always told me the story of Erebor and Thorin as a bedtime story when I was a young girl. Thorin tried not to speak of it, even I begged for it. I´ve been raised by Thorin and his kin for most of my life. That I could be tortured in front of their eyes and they could not do anything, is one of my worse nightmares. I never thought I could feel love through this quest at all, but when it happens it is on the hopelessly time. But can I still save Thorin?
Chapter 1
Thorin is here
"It should be there," I heard Fíli said and Kili nodded. I came forth, riding on my black horse and they both turned around on their ponies. Fíli sighed when he saw me, he had any right to do so. "What are you doing here?" He asked.
"You`re coming with us?" Kili asked happy, right after his brother. I had to chuckle a bit. The Dwarf brothers was so similar, but yet sometimes very different. Fíli was more about trying to make Thorin proud; after all, he was the heir to the throne after Thorin. And Kili… Kili is Kili, but I love them both as my brothers.
"I am here to help," I said. "And no, Thorin does not know." I said to Fíli before he could ask the question: Does Thorin know?
"Let´s go then, I don´t want to be the last," Kili said and I joined them over the Hill to Bag End. As what Gandalf told in the meeting, that I was not allowed to be on, a Hobbit name Bilbo Baggins will be expecting us. The Grey Wizard had left a mark on the Hobbit door.
Kili rang the doorbell to the Hobbit and within few seconds the door opened. A Hobbit came forth in the small door, I could already hear voices inside. My brothers introduced themselves and got the Hobbit´s name wrong.
"Has it been cancelled?" Kili asked and stopped Bilbo before he could shut the door at us.
"No one told us," Fíli said and stepped forward, looking at his brother. Bilbo furrowed his brows, not understanding what´s been cancelling.
"Nothing´s been cancelled," Bilbo Baggins said.
"That´s a relief," Kili said and they both walked in and so did I. Bilbo Baggins turned around having both their weapons in his arms.
"Are you with them?" He asked, looking up at me. They are truly small, the Hobbits.
"Yes, pardon my brothers," I said. "They do not know how to behave in others homes." He looked at me, as he did not understand anything. I took off my cloak and weapons and went in where the rest was to see who it was. I barely heard Bilbo say it is all right. "Dwalin!" I called out and the Dwarf with no hair on his head turned around, smiling.
"By my beard," he said. "Is it not Tiaashar? Coming up without allowed?" Dwalin asked and I only laughed. "Why am I not surprised?" Before I could answer Kili called for me. I turned around, seeing my brothers holding on a beer trunk.
"Help us with this one," Fíli said and they took it on the table. I helped them filling up the cups with beer when the doorbell rang again. I saw Balin had showed up to, I wonder how many more are coming. And then suddenly a bunch of Dwarves came in through the door, ah there they are.
As soon as everyone came in food began settling down on the table. "You must be Tiaashar," Gandalf said to me. "Thorin mentioned you." Only mentioned huh? "You are joining with us?"
"Yes, I am. Though Thorin does not know it yet," I said and continue drinking my beer and I heard Gandalf laugh. I sat down on the corner of the table, next to Gloin. They all seemed to be happy that I joined them, but they all knew better, especially Bombur that have been my friend for a long time. They all knew Thorin did not know I was here and that would not be good when he got here. But I will take it when it comes. I am not living in the future or in the past, I am living in the time now.
"Bombur!" Bofur said and I looked at Bombur that sat on the other end of the table. Bofur tossed some food and Bombur catched with his mouth and we all cheered. Unbelievable. They all counted down from three. "Drink up!" I had about half of my cup with beer and it was not so big either the cup, so finished up drinking my fourth cup of beer quick. And then Oin burped really loud. What? How? He did that? I laughed loud when he finished. I learn more about them every day that goes, even I am only twenty.
Just as we finished eating, the Dwarves began cleaning. I let that task go to them, as I don´t like being anywhere near the kitchen and beside they are good at it. Especially if they sing a long. Bilbo kept walking back and forth as everything was tossed back and forth, of knives, glasses and plates and then everything was in order at the table again, in the Hobbit big surprise. Just that someone knocked hard on the door.
"He is here," Gandalf said, still smoking his pipe. I looked towards the entrance of this small Hobbit house. Though I could not see the door as the Dwarves began walking towards it. Thorin is here.
