Summary: There were six wizards in Middle Earth, technically five since the sixth is a witch. Bellatrix the Red, one of the last of her kind, with one very noticeable thing that makes her unique to the other five. She's changed since Gandalf last met her, though for better or worse? Will she help or hinder the Company's journey and can she perhaps save Thorin from himself?
Look at A/N at bottom for description.
Title is lyric from RWBY Red Trailer by Jeff Williams
Thorin's Company rode their ponies through a muddy forest as it rained. They all looked cold, wet, and miserable.
"Here, Mr. Gandalf, can't you do something about this deluge?" Dori asked.
"It is raining, Master Dwarf, and it will continue to rain until the rain is done." Gandalf replied. "If you wish to change the weather of the world, you should find yourself another wizard."
"Are there any?" Bilbo asked.
"What?"
"Other wizards?"
"There are six of us… well five really… The greatest of our order is Saruman, the White. Then there are the two Blue Wizards; you know, I've quite forgotten their names."
"And who is the fifth?"
"Well, that would be Radagast, the Brown."
"Is he a great Wizard or is he...more like you?" Bilbo asked. Gandalf looked slightly offended.
"I think he's a very great wizard, in his own way. He's a gentle soul who prefers the company of animals to others. He keeps a watchful eye over the vast forest lands to the East, and a good thing too, for always Evil will look to find a foothold in this world."
"You said there were six." Kili said. "Who was the sixth? What happened to him?"
"Nothing happened." Gandalf said.
"Well who is he then?" Gloin asked.
"… Bellatrix the Red." Gandalf said.
"Bellatrix?" Kili asked.
"Sounds like a woman's name." Dwalin said.
"That is because Bellatrix is a woman, master dwarf. She's a witch."
"There are witches?" Bilbo asked with his eyebrows raised.
"Just her." Gandalf said shaking his head.
"Well, tell us about 'er." Fili said.
"What's she like?" Kili asked. "Is she great too, powerful?" Gandalf hesitated.
"In her own way." He said. "I've only met her one time, long ago" He let out a sigh. "Before…" He said quietly.
"Before what?" Bilbo asked. Gandalf cleared his throat.
"Best not get into that now, Master Baggins." Gandalf said. "I doubt we'll be running into her anytime soon."
There was a flash of red through the trees. It sped past rocks and fallen branches, fallen leafs were kicked up in its wake. The red blur made a sharp turn, claws scratching in the dirt before kicking off. Soon it reached a wide cliff; it ran up the rocks and morphed as it reached the edge, standing on two feet. There stood a woman, though she didn't appear to be. Naked as the day she was born with large red feline ears, matching fur and tail adorned her body. She sniffed the air, her nose twitched before it scrunched up in disgust. Large yellow eyes with black slits opened and darted across the area below. Pale lips cracked into a fanged smile.
So I watched Cats recently (Yeah the musical) and I love the way Bombalurina looks so that's what Bellatrix looks like.I'm going to make a cover for this if I can find a good picture of her.
