Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I've had lots of homework. By the way feel free to correct my spelling, grammar, or format. Also tips on what I could or shouldn't do would be helpful. I don't want to be the color question on quizzes that everyone despises. I still don't own LOTR or The Hobbit OR Starbucks. Need. Coffee. NOW! Anyway, hope you enjoy! By the way everything in italics is Gwyn's thoughts.
Chapter 3: An Unexpected Party
It was night as I approached the hobbit hole for the second time that day. This is it. I dismounted Arafëa and approached the round green door. I knocked three times. Bilbo answered the door looking exasperated.
"Gwynaith Evanara, at your service." I bowed.
"Right." Bilbo replied.
"C'mon Mr. Baggins, there is much to do."I said walking in.
Evidently I was late. Most of the dwarves and Gandalf where there already. Other than being late, so far I felt good. I tried to busy myself as best I could getting drinks and food but the dwarves had beaten me to it. I watched and laughed as the dwarves sang and danced. It was quite an amusing thing to watch as I have never seen a dwarf in person before, much less watch one dance. Just then there was a loud powerful knock at the door that forced silence throughout the loud hobbit house.
"He is here." Gandalf said.
I rushed so fast to see the young dwarf prince that I almost hit my head on something. I stared in wonder. He carried himself as if he was already a great king under the mountain. He did not doubt himself. Thorin gave me a dark look and walked into the kitchen. Geez, what's his problem? I suddenly felt like I was unwelcome with them. Like there was a hatred toward me. But that didn't stop me from eavesdropping on the meeting. Most of it Gandalf had already told me. Then at some point, they started talking about me.
"Why is she here? You know the Elves are our enemies." I heard Thorin say. Um, OUCH!
"Gwyn is different. You don't know her. Just trust me." Gandalf explained.
"What use is this elf to us?" Thorin asked.
"For one, she is a brilliant tracker and healer. But most importantly she is an excellent warrior. Her skill with a blade is surpassed by few if any. She has a great deal to offer to this quest. Give her a chance."
"No! I refuse to fide side by side with our enemy."
"Gwyn is not your enemy! I have chosen Gwyn to be the official warrior of this company; you need her help!"
"Fine! But only because you insist and I trust you. Had it been anyone else I wouldn't allow it." Was Thorin's reply.
Well that sure boosted my self esteem. Now I was determined that I would prove myself to this rude dwarf.
A/N: HEEEEY! Hope you liked it. Sorry it was short and lacked some dialogue. But some of the stuff people already know and Gwyn isn't involved so it's better to leave it out. Please rate/review/give me coffee, or a combo.
