A/N: Hello, I'm ACreativeHobbit. You can call me Hobbit. This is my first fic so I'm a bit new to this. I posted the Proloque and Chapter 1 to see your reactions... I'm hoping you like it. And now, the Prologue...

Prologue

Pain. Kili collapses.

"Kili!" shouts his brother in fear. He had been shot brutally in the knee. The arrow stuck out at an awkward angle, making it difficult to move quickly. The shooter of the Company, shot.

He crawls up the stairs. He needs to pull the lever which will open the portcullis in the river. Kili manages to hang on to the lever, just enough so that the portcullis opens for all the barrels to fit through. Just as the Elves arrive, the company is almost completely out on the river. Kili is left, his barrel at the back, just before his brother Fili. But the barrel is too narrow for the whole arrow to make it in intact so it snaps in half. Kili screams in pain. His brother is worried.

Kili's leg is on fire. He's been injured many times before. But this one is different. It's much more painful than the ones before. He also feels giddy. And maybe even a bit like throwing up. What new development is this?
