AN: This was written REALLY quickly and with no beta reader
Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons
If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
The dwarves had taken back their kingdom from the terrible Smaug who now lay in ruin, but something more was to come. Soon enough, every army imaginable was at their doorstep and a war had broken out. The war raged on, blood soaked the ground and the grass was painted red. Many lives were taken from humans to elves.
King Thorin led his army into the battle and many of their foes were killed but so were some of his own. His nephews, Fili and Kili were at his side, guarding him and fighting off every possible attack on his life. They were scrapped up but nothing they hadn't seen before or even dealt with.
A few times, Kili had run into Tauriel and Legalos who seemed to be fighting for nothing but themselves. They would be ready to strike but then stop. Kili and Tauriel still felt a connection and he knew it would be wrong to kill off the beautiful Elven woman. So, they would fight off the foes around them and then dart off in opposite directions.
Calling out father, prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky
Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
And I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me
Once in a while, they would fall back and hide to try and talk over a strategy. The dwarves were wearing thing and the blood shed was great. Thorin was crazy with greed and power and just wanted to wipe everyone out himself. In which both Kili and Fili would calm him down and they would plan, rest and eat.
Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame
Calling out father hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky
No one truly slept. The ones who did, slept with an eye open and watching for any attacks. Clothes and armor was torn and shredded, stained with blood, dirt, and sweat. A lot didn't even know if the blood was their own or other's. It really mattered not whose blood it was as long as they could guard their mountain they had been away from for over 50 years. Fili and Kili both knew it was their birth right to be there and to protect their land, and their uncle was what they wanted to do. Both were heirs to the throne, but they followed Thorin blindly. If death was what were to happen, both boys would die protecting their uncle if it meant that the Durin line lived on under the mountain n Erebor.
Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me
They didn't know exactly how true that would be though. During one particularly bad battle between the orcs, Azog had injured Thorin who sat to one knee, holding shield and sword at the ready. The large, pale orc standing over him on the top of a large warg. Fili and Kili both turned to see at the same time, "uncle!" Their voices rang through the bloodshed and screams as they darted forward.
"Stay back!" Thorin ordered but it was all too late. Fili was the first to shout as he jumped towards the orc with his sword high above his head. Azog laughed wildly as he hit Fili rather hard, connecting to his skull with a mace. Fili fell to the ground, lifeless. The warg stepped on the now what was presumed dead body of the blond dwarf.
And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns then
My brothers will die
And as the sky's falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out
Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
"No!" Kili screamed, tears streaming down and his hair sticking to his face. "Brother!" His voice echoed through the air making many of the dwarves to stop and watch, all in horror. Kili drew his bow and shot an arrow that hit it's mark into Azogs arm. He dropped the mace with a shout of anger and pain. In that same instance, he dropped the bow and pulled out his own blue glowing sword as he jumped onto a dead body of an orc using it to propel himself towards Azog in hopes to avenge his brother's death as well as to protect their king and uncle.
In midair, the warg jumped and grabbed Kili into his mouth. A scream wretched through the youngest dwarf's lips as Thorin heard the unmistakable snap and crack of bones. He knew it was too late when he saw the blood coming out of the warg's mouth. Thorin stood and screamed a battle cry that all the dwarves join in with, darting towards the pale orc. Kili's own lifeless body was dropped to the ground as he tried to escape the dwarves and even many of the other parties coming at him. He was over taken by the dwarves, being beheaded by Thorin himself screaming in rage as he avenged both of his nephews and heirs. His eyes shone, fire blazing behind those dark eyes as he dropped the head of the orc to the ground, moving to the lifeless bodies. He only took a moment and said a small prayer before he turned and ran head first into the battle. Fili and Kili would not die in vain. He would win this horrible battle, just for them now.
I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire)
I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire)
And I see fire (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side
