The mist rolled through the mountains as the sun rose. The city of Erebor, was waking up to what would be the last day of Thror's rule. The King had become ill with greed, gathering treasure that did not belong to his race. The people of Erebor had no warning of the tragedy to come.

The citizens were going about their normal days before the horror of Smaug, the Terrible, swept in. He destroyed all the kingdom, forcing them to leave. This was all because of King Thror Under the Mountain. His mind had been poisoned by the gold and gems that he had collected.

But, a chance still stood for the once beautiful Kingdom. The chance would be in a hundred years. The heir would come forward with a company. The company would defeat, Smaug, and return to their home.

But, lives would be the price to pay...

Ebba laughed as she walked out of school with her friends, Caitlin and Ella. They had been friends for years, despite their differences.

Ella, was an actress, a team leader and an all around funny girl. She had brown, long hair. She was tall, with a athletic build and dark brown eyes. She was easily one of the most popular girls in school and had to be the most caring person, Ebba had ever met.

Caitlin, was an athletic, nerd. Although she was absolutely beautiful. She had pure black hair that went to her shoulders. Despite, Caitlin being the athletic one she was very skinny. She had bright blue eyes that every boy fell in love with. Caitlin had the reputation of being a very strong competitor and a very nice girl once you got past her guards.

Ebba, was the dancer. She would always keep her friends busy with fun, outrageous activities. She had blond, pixie styled hair. She was average height with a curvy body. Ebba was the not most popular girl in town as she was an orphan. She was open, bright, confident and resilient and din't let her past affect her future. She was the bond keeping her friends together.

They had been laughing at the terrified look on their friend, Jacob's face as he had to dance with their teacher, Ms. Polcher in gym class. It was finally the spring break and the girls were going away to, Stradbroke Island for their holidays.

"So, Caitlin how's your packing going?" Ella laughed, knowing Caitlin had procrastinated. Caitlin made a face and slapped Ella behind the head. Ebba laughed at her friends, they behaved like twins at times. They got to Ebba's street and said their farewells for the hour. Ebba smiled as she packed a few more bikini's and clothes, this would be a great adventure.

The three girls arrived at Stradbrooke Island at 10:00pm. They got into Caitlin's car and drove off the ferry. Caitlin drove through the twisting roads of the mountains on the island. They were halfway to their villa when the car broke down near a field.

"Are you kidding me?" Caitlin shouted. Ebba groaned and got out of the car along with the two girls. They looked at their surroundings; all around them were trees and bushes.

"Well, it's late. We may as well look around for shelter, and I don't want to walk anywhere," Ebba exclaimed. The girls agreed and they walked towards the forest.

They walked through the thicket, yawning and moaning, until they came to a large oak tree.

"I reckon we should stop here for the night guys," Caitlin suggested. The two other girls eagerly agreed and used their bags, they took with them, to use as pillows. A silence fell across them as they each fell into a deep slumber.

As the sun came up the girl's awoke one at a time getting dressed in a bikini, tank top and shorts each as well as their shoes. Luckily they had planned to do some trekking so they all had hiking boots. They set off in the direction, they thought, the road was.

They soon came to a cliff and agreed to have some time to sight see they started climbing the rocks.

"Ebba, why are you so good at climbing cliffs?" Ella asked, looking with astonishment as the dancer swung herself up, with one hand, onto the rock above her.

"Flexibility, darlin' Ella," Ebba laughed. Her grinning face turned into one of astonishment as she looked up to see a dark cave in front of her. The two girl's below her had reached where she was and both looked as confused as she felt. They looked at each other and made a silent agreement to explore. It was the smell that hit them first.

"What the hell, is that stench?" squealed Ella, covering her nose.

"Rotting corpses, and half eaten rodents, I thought it was obvious," Ebba smirked.

"SHUT UP, EBBA!" Caitlin yelled at her, causing Ebba to laugh more. The walked through the archway and heard what seemed to be a landslide behind them. They turned around to see their exit filling up with rocks.

"Well, we're stuck now," Ebba said, tiredly. They moved into the next, sort of, room. They discovered elegant swords and gold everywhere. They all looked at each other and laughed. The girls split up to look around. Ebba came across a book with the words, Middle Earth on the cover.

"Oh, Fuck No!" Ebba exclaimed. The girls rushed to her side and they all gaped at the book, full of information and maps. The looked at each other and squealed at the same time.

"I wonder what period we're in?! Oh, I want to meet Thorin Oakenshield!" exclaimed Caitlin, jumping up and down. They all grinned and hugged each other before calming down.

Suddenly, they heard people start to arrive. All men. They looked at each other and all stood with crossed arms and waited for the company to see them. The first person they saw was the mysterious, Thorin Oakenshield.

They all smiled at him, as he saw them.

"Who are you?" He demanded pointing his sword at them. Caitlin stepped forward, with one eyebrow raised.

"You seriously just pointed your sword at three woman?" Caitlin asked, her voice oozing sarcasm.

"Yes, it seems he did, Caits," Ella half mocked, Caitlin. Her face lighting up.

"It appears chivalry is dead, doesn't it?" Ebba teased. By now all the dwarfs were craning their necks to see the women. They all smiled at the dwarfs.

"We know about your quest, My King Thorin," Ebba stated and they all bowed.

"How do you know?" Thorin questioned his eyes on Caitlin. Ebba noticed how his eyes roamed over her body.

"We are oracles," Ella told them her voice clear and proud. Ebba smirked at her friends lie. Then realized something. Thorin was taller than her. She shot a look at Caitlin to find her looking right back at her, they both chuckled. This was going to be very amusing.
