Colours of the wind

"And who is your mother?" Thorin asked

"An elf." Selene replied wittedly

"Can you sing another?" Bilbo asked

"Of course Master Baggins." She replied

"You think I'm an ignorant savage

And you've been so many places

I guess it must be so

But still I cannot see

If the savage one is me

How can there be so much that you don't know?

You don't know ...

You think you own whatever land you land on

The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim

But I know every rock and tree and creature

Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people

Are the people who look and think like you?

But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger

You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?

Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?

Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?

Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest

Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth

Come roll in all the riches all around you

And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers

The heron and the otter are my friends

And we are all connected to each other

In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

How high will the sycamore grow?

If you cut it down, then you'll never know

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

For whether we are round or pointed eared

We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains

We need to paint with all the colours of the wind

You can own the Earth and still

All you'll own is Earth until

You can paint with all the colours of the wind."

"And who taught you that?" Thorin asked

"An Elf it is about dwarves." Selene smirked

"How dare you insult us?" Dwalin shouted not before Selene had a dagger at his throat.

"I wouldn't if I were you." She replied then her head snapped up when they heard a howl.

"Was that a wolf? Are there wolves out there?" Bilbo asked

"Wolves no, that is not a wolf." Bofur said as two wargs crashed towards them, they were killed quickly by Thorin, Dwalin, Selene and Kìli.

"Warg Scouts. Which means a Orc pack is not far behind" Thorin growled

"Orc pack?" Bilbo asked looking terrified

"Radagast give me Sebastian, now." Selene said quickly and Radagast gave her the hedgehog putting him in her hood.

"Who did you tell about your quest beyond your kin?" Gandalf asked Thorin.

"No one." He replied

"Who did you tell?" Gandalf asked again

"No one I swear. What in Durin's name is going on?" Thorin asked

"You master Dwarf are being hunted, by an orc pack of at least twenty I'd say by the fact they sent two scouts." Selene replied

"We have to get out of here." Dwalin stated

"Excellent observation." Selene muttered earning a death glare

"We can't, we have no ponies they've bolted." Ori said

"I'll draw them off." Radagast said

"These are Gundabad Wargs, they will out run you." Gandalf replied

"These are Rhosgobel Rabbits; I'd like to see them try." Radagast smiled, causing Selene to grin.

"This is gonna be fun." She laughed

"Selene, stay with the company." Radagast said

"What really you are putting me on babysitting a group of dwarves that will stick out like a sore thumb and do not know the definition of quiet." Selene argued which was met with cries of argument.

"Yes, you will otherwise you can finish your training at Isengard, with Saurman." Radagast replied

"Fine." Selene sighed dejectedly. Before turning to her wolf "Meet me in the Greenwood my old friend."

With that the wolf ran and Radagast mounted his sled, shouting and taunting as he went.

"You have got to love Radagast." Selene smiled before turning serious and ushering the dwarves forward.

"Come on." Gandalf said as they reached the plain, they moved quickly till they caught sight of the orcs. "Stay together."

"Move." Thorin shouted

"Oh yes let every orc know where we are." Selene retorted earning yet another death glare.

They ran again sticking close to the boulders

"Ori, no." Thorin grabbed him "Get back."

"Come on, come on quickly." Gandalf instructed steering them forward.

"Where have you been leading us?" Thorin asked

"A place of safety is that not enough Thorin?" Selene asked

He did not reply and they ran on, hiding once again behind a rock. Selene heard a Warg on top of the rock and drew her bow as Thorin looked at Kìli. They both stood out Kìli hit the Warg in its front leg and Selene hit the Orc between his eyes. As the others killed the Warg, loudly Selene would add, she quickly tried to figure how far Rivendell was then she spotted the signs for the entrance and took her dagger and drove into the wargs brain.

"We are going to need to run now." She stated

"Move. Run." Gandalf shouted before heading the wrong way.

Selene shouted "No Gandalf this way." Changing the direction of the company.

They ran for their lives, Selene unsheathed her sword having it ready for battle.

"There they are." Shouted Gloin

"This way." Selene shouted

"Quickly." Bellowed Gandalf

The wargs began surrounding them and the company stopped and prepared to fight.

"There is more coming." Kili shouted

"Kili, shoot them." Thorin shouted

Selene and Kili began firing at the Orcs, Selene always hitting her target.

"We're surrounded." Shouted Fili, Selene glanced behind her and saw the entrance to the Hidden Valley.

"Where is Gandalf?" Someone shouted

"He's abandoned us." Dwalin shouted

"Get in defensive positions and stop asking and answering stupid questions." Selene shouted as she continued firing.

"Hold your ground." Thorin shouted drawing Orcrist

"This way you fools." Gandalf shouted from the entrance

"Come on, move." Thorin shouted running to the entrance "Quickly all of you."

"Go, go, go."

Selene and Kili continued firing when they heard Thorin shout

"Kili, Selene run."

They began running when Selene saw an Orc pull a bow and aim straight at Thorin, she ran in front of him and the arrow hit her in the side along with a dagger hitting her in the back. She cried out in pain and pushed Thorin down into the entrance before throwing herself down and screaming in pain when the arrow snapped and the dagger drove deeper.

"Why?" Thorin asked her

"We are one." Was her answer before she blacked out from the pain.

"She needs help; the healing required is beyond my help." Oin told them, then a horn was heard and an orc fell down dead into the tunnel. Thorin pulled out the arrow and hissed

"Elves."

"I cannot see where the pathway leads; do we follow it or no?" Dwalin asked

"Follow it of course." Bofur replied

"I think that would be wise." Gandalf said

Thorin bent down and pick Selene up carrying her in his arms just as he did as when she was a child unbeknown to him.

As they reached the end of the tunnel Thorin handed Selene to Fili who held her close to his chest.

"Do you be going and dying now, I have to thank you for saving Uncle." He whispered to her.

"The Valley of Imladris, in the common tongue it is known by another name." Gandalf told them.

"Rivendell." Bilbo said in awe

"Here lies the last homely house east of the sea." Gandalf reminisced

"This was your plan all along, to seek refuge with our enemy." Thorin growled

"You have no enemies here, Thorin Oakenshield; the only ill will to be found in this valley is that which you bring yourself."

"Do you think the Elves will give our quest their blessing? They will try to stop us."

"Of course they will and you already have the blessing of one elf and she is well thought of in Rivendell, she is seen as the adopted daughter of Lord Elrond, he has taught her many a thing. But we have questions that need to be answered and we need a healer."

Thorin sighed in defeat.

"If we are to be successful, this will need to be handled with tact, and respect and no small degree of charm, which is why you will leave the talking to me." Gandalf instructed and Thorin took Selene from Fili, she mumbled

"Adadnadad." Thorin looked down at her confused at why she would say that then he remembered when he had seen her eyes and nearly dropped her in his revelation.

He looked to Gandalf for confirmation and he simple nodded. They walked to the main courtyard of Rivendell.

"Mithrandir." A voice called out, and then he said more passionately "Anexia."

"Ah Lindir." Gandalf replied

"What happened?" He asked "Why is she injured and in the arms of a dwarf?"

Thorin pulled Selene closer to his chest.

"I must speak with Lord Elrond" Gandalf said

"My Lord Elrond is not here." Lindir replied and then turned to Thorin "Give me Anexia she needs to be healed and ready for Lord Elrond's return." He said gently before taking her from Thorin's arms who would not have let go if she was not injured so grievously.

"No here, where is he?" Gandalf asked then the horn of the elves sounded and Thorin shouted

"Close ranks. Weapons." As Bofur pulled Bilbo into the centre

"Gandalf." A voice said

"Lord Elrond." Gandalf smiled

Then Lord Elrond noticed Selene in Lindir's arms.

"Take her to my chambers I will heal her there I will follow." Lindir nodded and took her where he asked.

"Where is he taking her?" Fili asked

"Strange for orcs to come so close to our borders. Something or someone has drawn them near" Lord Elrond commented

"That may have been us." Gandalf said

"Welcome Thorin, son of Thrain." Lord Elrond greeted the Dwarven King

"I do not believe we have met." Thorin replied

"You have your grandfather's bearing, I knew Thror when he ruled under the mountain."

"Indeed, he made no mention of you."

The Lord Elrond spoke in the elven tongue

"What is he saying? Does he offer us insult?" Gloin asked causing the dwarves to begin arguing and insulting the elves

"No Master Gloin he offering you food." Gandalf explained

The Dwarves discussed this and then Gloin said "Er, well in that case lead on."

"Excuse me but I have someone I need to heal." Elrond said excusing himself

Thorin followed and asked "Where is my nadadnathith?"

Elrond turned "So you finally see and know the truth, I would advise you to keep your knowledge from her, she has hidden who she is for so long it would be hard for her to accept that you now know when she has wanted you to know the truth for as long as I have known her."

"You care for her?"

"Like my own, she was orphaned at 29 and friendless even for a dwarf that is you and I know you were only in your fifties when your family was taken, that is why she acts childlike at times her childhood was taken."

"How old was he when she was born?"

"16 I believe, they loved one another, him and Anexia's mother, it was pure but family hatred made them hide it in darkness." Elrond replied before going to his chambers
