I started to re-write this story. Not a whole bunch however there are some slight changes.
CHAPTER ONE
This is my story of my journey to Middle Earth. I had hoped to live longer but my life was lived well in the end so I do not regret my early death. I say early death because I know what I am going to do will end with my death. You who are reading this are only doing so because I am dead and this was left where you could find it. Some of the words I use might confuse you or surprise you so let me explain right now I'm not really from a 'higher power' I am from Earth. Not Middle Earth, Earth.
A place where the events that take place in your world are just movies and books in mine, I wasn't lying when I said I knew everything that would happen. I know everything about this journey and about the one yet to come. I will not say anymore about that because I could change events. Some of you may wonder why I didn't use my knowledge to save lives. The answer is because to save a life would be to kill hundreds of thousands of others. The butterfly effect is in play, you see this is not my first time in Middle Earth this is my 154th Journey with the 13 dwarfs, Bilbo and Gandalf.
I have tried every way imaginable to save lives and in the end I have always failed. When I awoke this time around I was resigned to letting everything happen as it did originally, then I was struck by an insane idea. I can only pray it works. I keep this journal to let you all read the truth for yourselves. I realize that some of it will be hard for you to read over so I will only tell it in sections not in detail. This is the first time I have written down the song, I figured the dwarfs would like to know it as it pertains to them. Also I have never given my real name, I am unsure why to be honest every time I woke up a new name was on my lips a name that was never mine.
So I figured I could at least write it down but that last time I tried to do that the book either caught fire or the letters scrambled themselves. I guess I was never meant to be known. Anyway enough about me, you are reading this to know the story and pass it on to your children and their children. For future reference NOYB means none of your business. Here are the names of everyone who I wish this journal to be read to and or by. You who finds this please find at least one of them and give it to him. Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo Baggins, Balin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin, Dori, Nori, Ori, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur.
T I stared out over the forest as I traveled with Gandalf the 13 dwarves and Bilbo. I had been out running one day then there was an earthquake and I hit my head. The next thing I knew I was awakened by Gandalf and Bilbo while the 13 dwarfs watched me with suspicion. Apparently I had just fallen out of the sky and Gandalf had just barely managed to catch me. They all wanted to know about me and what I knew about them. I couldn't tell them that I knew everything about them and their journey but I didn't want to lie and I knew that I would die if they left me alone in the forest. So I improvised, I said that I had been sent by a higher power to make sure that they made it to their destination, and in return they were to teach me how to shot bow and arrow, sword fight and what plant's were okay to eat.
H They were all a little iffy about the whole thing however when I gave their names and a glimpse of their recent past and their far past in the dwarfish tongue. (What can I say I really love The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.) I told Bilbo his parents name and what he had done once as a mischievous child. I then told Gandalf, in the elvish tongue that his previous names were Olórin, Tharkûn and Mithrandir they were still suspicious of me. However they were willing to let me travel with them. Gandalf had a lot of influence on that decision and for that I was thankful. I wasn't much of an outdoors type, not that I hated the outdoors I was usually on my computer writing my stories and playing games. In fact the run I had been on when this all happened had been my first attempt at getting more fit.
E I was saddened by what I knew was going to happen, I knew which dwarfs would die and when and how. Watching them die in the movie was sad enough however having traveled with them and really getting to know them throughout the months of travel made my knowledge feel like a curse. I was still me in every way, I was 5'7 in height, I had been 245lbs however during this journey I had lost at least what I guessed was 40 pounds which made me only slightly chunky. My eyes were still their green/blue/grey color. My hair was still down to my waist and brown/blonde/red and I was still human. I was still my sarcastic and charming self however I had gained the ability to sing beautifully. I found that out when I was by myself, and so far I had kept that ability a secret. I made sure everyone was asleep before I climbed out onto the top of the cliff knowing what was going to happen I couldn't help but sing the one song I knew went with what was going to happen.("I See Fire" by Lindsey Stirling)
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
Calling out father oh
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 remember me
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 oh
Hold fast and 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
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me
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 is 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 mountains
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning out) (fire)
And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)
And I see fire (uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side.
O I finished the song and sighed quietly before turning to go back to the fire. I climbed back down to where everyone was sleeping. That's when I realized that everyone who I had thought were sleeping was awake and staring at me. I felt my eyes widen in surprise, I wasn't sure what to say so I just nodded at them and went over to my bedding and curled myself into the small little ball that I usually slept in. I wasn't able to sleep however, because Thorin came over to me and demanded to know the origin of the song I had just and how I had come to know it since I was human and the song described a terrible event that happened to the dwarfs. I wanted to slap him upside his short little head I always did have a problem with authority. However I kept myself from doing what I really wanted to do and answered him calmly, "I told you I was sent from a higher power. I know everything that happened and what will happen but only up until the journey end." I said being honest. I wasn't sure what would happen in the time between this journey end and the 60 years until the Fellowship of the Ring.
N In order to not mess with what I knew was going to happen when Gandalf left to find some solitude I followed after him. However I did whisper, "Keep count of your horses." Into Fili and Kili's ears as I passed by them to follow Gandalf. I stayed behind Gandalf and didn't approach him as he was cursing the stubbornness of dwarfs and it appeared that he really did need some time alone. I decided to test my knowledge of edible plants and was happily surprised when I could identify more than twenty plants and what they were good for and how to use them. Quite some time must have passed because when I looked up again I saw Gandalf walking back in the direction of the campsite. I followed behind him and since he seemed a lot calmer I walked beside him. When we reached the empty campsite, I didn't even bother stopping as I continued to walk in the direction I knew the dwarfs and Bilbo were in. "There about to be dinner for three trolls, you might want to hurry Gandalf." I said as I continued to calmly walk towards them.
E As in the movie Gandalf rescued them and they were cut loose, I rested my shoulder on one of the nearby trees as I watched the dwarfs cut each other loose. After they all settled down, with a few words from Gandalf, and retrieved their horses they turned in my direction. "Where were you!? Did you know this was going to happen? Why didn't you tell us so we could avoid this?!" Thorin roared at me. I raised an eyebrow at him and sent him a smirk before leaning down and whispering in his ear, "NOYB, yes, I hinted to Fili and Kili. Now listen to me Thorin, I know things about you that you really wouldn't want me to share with the group so I suggest you treat me with respect and I will do the same. Otherwise their learning about you wetting your bed as a teenager will be the least of your problems." I said before standing back up. Hopping beyond hope that he had actually wetted his bed as a teenager.
R I wanted to laugh at the look on his face apparently he had wetted his bed as a teenager. "Fine." He growled before he took off. I did snicker then before I walked back to the campsite with Fili on one side and Bilbo on the other. The rest of the events happened as I knew they would and when it came time to either stay with Kili I chose to stay. I knew what was going to happen and I knew what I could do to help. When Tauriel and Legolas came and helped finish killing the Orcs that were trying to kill us I left. I used my bow and arrows to take down several Orcs that would have gotten away before I started rounding up the homeless people and putting them in boats promising them whatever they wanted if they would leave Lake-Town and get to the shore at the base of the mountain.
I I stole clothes and blankets and food and put them in boats then I crept into houses that I knew had children and knocked the adults out. Then I put them into boats which I then tied the boat filled with provisions to before slapping awake a male and telling him that the Dragon was coming. That was all it took for him to wake up other guys who woke up their wives who immediately held their scared children to them. I emptied as many houses as I knew I could and then I got out of there and headed for the place where the fight between the Orcs, elves, humans and dwarfs would take place, not to mention the nasty looking worms.
N I didn't bother with a fire knowing that I would be killed that way, instead I focused on setting up traps for the Orcs who would be coming, then I slipped into the hiding spot I knew would give me an birds eye-view of the action that was going to come.
G Events occurred as usual and I waited patiently for the time to come that I had finally figured out I was sent to change. When the eagles come bringing with them the last skin-changer who will immediately launched himself into battle. I will defend him with arrows from above and I will stop his death by taking the stake to my own heart. I am not sure why he must survive be he must so please if you find this please make sure he survives. His name is Beorn. Goodbye everyone. Sorry about bothering you all with this, I guess I just want to be remembered even if my name is not. Also there is a hidden message for Gandalf he should be able to find it.
AWAKENS.~
"And that is where the journal ends." Gandalf said as he finished reading the journal of the young woman who had traveled with him and the others. Everyone stared at him then at the journal that he was holding, in surprise and confusion. "If she had to die to save Beorn then why didn't she name him at the top as well?" Nori asked curiously.
The rest of the dwarves and Bilbo agreed, Gandalf was wondering about that fact as well but no answer was available so Bilbo, the dwarves and Gandalf went their separate ways. Gandalf daily reading the short journal wondering what the message was. Then one day, fifty-three years later when he went to visit Beorn who had married a half-elf half-human woman, six years after the Dwarves reclaiming their throne the answer was given to him.
A tall young woman with hip-length black hair that was streaked with blonde and grey eyes with brilliant blue flecks opened the door to Beorn's home. "Hello Gandalf, it's wonderful to see you again." The young woman said with a smile. Gandalf was confused, "I'm sorry but I don't remember meeting you before." The young woman laughed happily as she ushered Gandalf into the house, "Well I didn't look like this the last time we met. I was human around 5'7 with authority issues and a habit of ticking off Thorin." The woman said. Gandalf gasped and grabbed her shoulders in surprise, "You your…"
The young woman smiled, "Yes Gandalf, apparently I was sent from Earth to make sure my birth on Middle Earth would happen. Did you figure out my message?" Gandalf shook his head still surprised by the news the young woman immediately turned serious, "The one ring awakens."
