Anyways Happy reading!)
"Wait! Wait!"
I see and hear some dwarves say woah stopping their ponies and such. We walk over to Balin.
"I signed it!"
"He signed it."
I echo silently and Balin smiles.
"Everything appears to be in order. Welcome, master baggins and miss Luna to the company of Thorin Oakenshield."
The rest except for the cold leader cheer.
"Give him a pony"
"Wait... What about luna she can't walk all the way can she?"
I chuckle and pat the hobbit's head.
"Don't worry hobbit I've got my ride"
I smile and turn towards the trees. I pull out a whistle from my pocket and blow in it. A few moments later we hear the neigh of a horse and a coal black horse with a white star on it's forhead apear. I smile as the horse makes it's way towards me. Said horse shake his dark mane out of his eyes to reveal his unaturally green irises. I grin.
"Becquerel!Hey there buddy did you miss me?"
"Neigh!"
I laugh and pet his nose then hop onto the tall beast on one swing/jump. I look at the company to see that they are already on the move catching bags of money and such. I make Becquerel walk on the other side of Gandalf and nod at him. The mage looks at me and smiles then turns back to bilbo.
"Follow them okay?"
"Neigh..."
I smile at my mount and then fall daze. It was a state where i wasn't awake consciously but my body was and so i look half awake or half asleep depends on how you see it. I wake up from my daze and we are at the edge of a cliff and some are preparing the camp. I slip off of Bec and give him an apple I have found earlier in my bags.
"Good boy Bec"
I then hear Bilbo say the same thing to myrtle, the pony seems very happy as the hobbit gives her an apple. I chuckle and look towards the forest below as we a hear a horrid screech, though most of the dwarves are sleeping, balin, kili, fili, gandalf, bilbo and I are awake.
"What was that?"
"Orcs"
At the single mention of the word Thorin is up and about in a flash.
"Orcs?"
"Throat-cutters. There'll be dozens of the out there. The lowlands are crawling with them"
"They strike in the wee small hours when everybody's asleep. Quick and quiet no screams, just alot of blood."
Bilbo pales and I get closer to the hobbit glaring ay the now laughing brothers. They thought it was funny to scare the hobbit really nice. Plus Orcs is no laughing matter they should know that! I was abouut to say something but Thorin went first.
"You think that's funny? You think a night raid by orcs is a joke?!"
"We didn't mean anything by it"
"No you didn't, you know nothing of the world"
Then thorin walks up to the cliff and balin comes closer to the boys. I stand up and glare at the boys.
"Thorin is right this really isn't a laughing matter. No matter how strong you are orcs are dangerous. Even the strongest of people can't win against the thousands and thousands of orcs there is."
Then I turn away from them and go close to Thorin but I do not go beside him I climb the tree beside him and lay on a branch quietly. In the distance I hear balin tell the story of how he knew he could follow Thorin and such and I watch quietly as I continue to vaguely listen. In the corner of my eye I see thorin walk up to the fire and into my field of vision.
"But the pale orc what happened to him?"
"He slunk back into the hole whence he came. The filth died of his wounds long ago"
I see balin looking at gandalf and latter nodded. Realisation came to me. They know... They know that the defiler is alive. Why aren't they telling him. But i guess if they aren't telling him they must have a reason so I won't tell him either. I hop down from my branch and walk up to where bilbo has lied down I lie down by his side and he turns to me. His face pale and scared. I smile and hug him tight his head in the crook of my neck and as I murmur a lullaby I recal from my childhood.

( English Translation:Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn,
To keep evil forever at bay!
And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout,
Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!
Hearken now, sons of snow, to an age, long ago,
And the tale, boldly told, of the one!
Who was kin to both wyrm, and the races of man,
With a power to rival the sun!
And the voice, he did wield, on that glorious field,
When great Tamriel shuddered with war
! Mighty Thu'um, like a blade, cut through enemies all
, As the Dragonborn issued his roar!
Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn,
To keep evil forever at bay!
And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout,
Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!
And the Scrolls have foretold, of black wings in the cold,
That when brothers wage war come unfurled!
Alduin, Bane of Kings, ancient shadow unbound,
With a hunger to swallow the world!
But a day, shall arise, when the dark dragon's lies,
Will be silenced forever and then!
Fair Skyrim will be free from foul Alduin's maw!
Dragonborn be the savior of men!
Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn,
To keep evil forever at bay!
And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout,
Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!)
I just loved the language it is in... It is dragon language. My mom used to sing it to me before she died with the rest of Skyrim. Skyrim was the name of our village, we were a dragon venerating community that was still alive until about 1600 years ago. We thought the scalians were gods. After the great chaos, as I call it, destroyed Skyrim an iridescent, young and gentle dragoness took me in and raised my four year old self as her own. And before she was killed, it was just as if she knew it would happen, she gave me her powers and made me something else, something inhuman, a dragonborn. I can sprout iridescent wings,golden horns and an iridescent tail. Scales apear on my face arms and legs all iridescent and smooth and my eyes turn to a bright green while the fire i breath is a sparkling gold. I also could transform into my adoptive mother's dragon form which made me look like i was made of pure diamond but Galadriel-nim as I have grown to call her sealed that part of me away for good mesure. I am nicknamed the queen of dragons by the others as I can kill them all if wanted to. As Bilbo snores lightly against me I sigh and think of how old i've become. I am already 1604, time passes so swiftly, yet I look like a sixteen year old human girl. I sigh again and finally let sleep take me in the dark.
(Timeskip)
I am at gandalf side riding bec as I think about how the dwarves and Bilbo would react if the knew about my origins. I frowned they would probably hate me. I hear bilbo asking about other wizards and I hear gandalf responding but what makes me snap out of my thinking trans is when I hear Bilbo.
" Is he a great wizard or is he more like you?"
I chuckle and look a the slightly offended grey wizard. As he explains how Radagast the brown is more of a gentle man and prefers the forest creatures to people.
(Timskip)
We arrive at an old farm and Gandalf gets this strange look on his face so i slip off of Bec and follow the wizard to the seemingly abandoned farm.
"A farmer and his family used to live here"
He states before turning to Thorin as the dwarf king orders Oin and Gloin to make fire.
"I think it would be wiser to move on. We could make for the hidden valley."
That tone in his voice makes me nervous.
"I have told you already I will not go near that place!"
Then an argument exploded in which Gandalf has gotten really mad and as he walks to his horse he says he has had enough of dwarves for the day. My little hobbit looks crestfallen if not a bit scared. I run to him as Balin walks away from him and smile comfortingly at the little man. Said little man looks up and smiles gratefully.
(Timeskip)
I am sitting by bilbo eating my soup quietly as I listen to Bilbo and Bofur conversing.
"He's been a long time."
"Who?"
"Gandalf"
"He's a wizard he does what he chooses. Here do us a favor, take this to the lads"
Bofur then gives bilbo two bowls one for fili and the other for hobbit stands up and I take one of the bowls from his hands. He looks at me confusingly then smiles happily before we walk to where the brothers are watching the ponies passing by Bec he wants to be close to me all the time and dosen't not want to go with the other ponies. I smile at the beast and wave slightly. When we arrive, the young princes seem to be thinking about something as bilbo and I try to give them the bowls.
"What's the matter?"
"We're supposed to be looking after the ponies."
"Yes, yes you are dwarf prince."
"Only we've encountered a slight problem"
"That is?"
"We had sixteen"
"Now there's fourteen"
We all look at the ponies and I see that indeed Daisy and Bungo are missing. Kili then voices my thoughts.
"Daisy and bungo are missing."
"Well that's not good, that is not good at all. Shouldn't we tell thorin?"
"Uhh no... Let's not worry him as our official burglar we thought you might look into it"
I give the bowl I was holding to bilbo and go closer to the ponies examining quietly while bilbo and the brother talk to each other. Then all of a sudden they all run through the forest me right behind them and we hide behind a log as we hear laughter around the source of the light that finally turned out to be a fire.
"What is it?"
"Trolls"
"Question for you guys how did you not see or hear a troll steal the ponies"
The young dwarves looked at me sheepishly. I rolled my eyes at them but come back to attention when bilbo says.
"He's got myrtle and minty! I think they're going to eat them we have to do something!"
" yeah I'll go check it out, I'll be right back"
I then go towards the ponies only to see the big knots the trolls made. I curse under my breath even with a dagger these will be hard to cut. I hear the trolls talk in the background and I restrain a laugh they sound so stupid it's hilarious. I feel a presence and when I turn around bilbo is there pointing towards the troll's knife. I nod.
"Be careful"
"Yes I'll try, watch my back"
As he tries to take the knife I prepare my bow and when I look up again bilbo is snot covered and in the hands of the sneezing troll. I gasp as Bilbo falls to the ground and as he tries to escape one of the trolls grabs him by the legs and up into the air. I'm about to shoot when the dwarves arrive all at once. I run towards them and smile at the young princes, they just nod.
"Drop him!"
"What?"
"I said drop him!"
The troll then throws Bilbo at Kili and I shoot an arrow to the trolls hands. The company then all rushed to the rescue. I shoot arrows all around me and I see Bilbo in corner and run to him while he is freeing up the ponies and gasp as one of the trolls grabs him then he sees me and grabs me by the braid. I close my eye from the pain.
"Bilbo! Luna!"
"No!"
"Lay down your arms or we'll rip his off and then do the same with her head"
I crack open one of my eyes and see thorin eyeing us in frustration and then he plants his sword in the ground. I smile weakly before drifting into unconsciousness.
(Timeskip)
I slowly open my eyes when I hear gandalf.
"The dawn will take you all" then the trolls say something I don't quite understand. I close my eyes only to reopen them when I hear shrieks of pain coming from said trolls. I sit up to see Bilbo coming towards me and finally untying me and giving me a hug. I hug him back slightly before standing up and dusting myself as I was unconscious I had not been put in a bag. I look at the stone turned trolls in aw.
''Woah''
(Timeskip)
I look around and hear thorin and gandalf talking about a cave. I look to my right to find said cave.
"Wizard, dwarf king! A cave like this?"
Pointing at the cave Thorin looks at me suspiciously and Gandalf smiles. I follow the dwarves in and look around the stench, not really bothering me, i still wrinkle my nose to in disgust. I catch the gleam of something and grab it. It was a coal black blade with gold and iridescent markings on it. The handle was forged to look like a dragon, it was black with a single diamond for the eye of the dragon. I stared at the masterpiece wide eyed. It was Skyrimian sword. Sword that my people had created in remembrance to the first dragonlord. A dragonborn like me who was given the powers of the first dragon to have ever existed.
"Great kairos"
I curse, Kairos is the dragon representing time itself. I had met the scalian, as we called the dragons and serpents, once and it was incredible. I look for the blade's sheath and slip said blade into the white and golden leather case. I joined Bilbo who was waiting outside looking at an elven dagger probably given him by gandalf.
"Let's go hobbit"
"O-oh yes let's!"
Then
"Something's coming!"
"Gandalf-"
"Stay together hurry now arm yourselves"
And we ran to the forest.
(Timeskip)
We wait until suddenly Radagast and his rabbits burst out of the trees. I relax and walk towards the panicking brown wizard.
"I was looking for you Gandalf something's wrong, something's terribly wrong!"
"Yes?"
Radagast starts opening and closing his mouth making him look like a fish.
"Are you alright there wizard?"
"Yes, how are you luna? And oh just give me a minute. Um,oh i had a thought and now I've lost it. It was, it was right on the tip of my tongue"
He makes a surprised face and I roll my eyes knowing what is coming.
"Oh it's not a thought at all! It's a silly old-"
Gandalf grabs the insect and puts it in Radagast's awaiting hand.
"-stick insect!"
I look back at the company and chuckle they weren't waiting for that to happen. Then Radagast and Gandalf go off to speak privately I return to Bilbo's side. Patting the disgusted hobbit's head a warg howl ring in the distance. I froze I can't hear what everyone is saying until Bilbo takes my hand in his and looks up at me reassuringly despite being terrified. I smile down at him thankfully and concentrate on what is happening.
"I'll draw them off"
"These are gundabad wargs, they will outrun you!"
"These a rhosgobel rabbits-"
I smile at the brown wizard and he smils back and turns back to Gandalf.
"- i'd like to see them try!"
