By My Beard, What an Adventure

by Ravynne Firestorm

OC x Fili in a retelling of the Hobbit. Not quite sure what rating but I'm thinking possibly M, so its M for now. I kinda started to hate my other story (OC elf x Fili) so I came up with this in my head, I think I've improved upon the writing style and general storyline. How will the addition of a female dwarf to the company of Thorin Oakenshield change the history of Middle Earth?

4. Chapter 4

Chapter 4 –

The rest of their journey was relatively smooth, except for the part when the princes decided to race each other to the inn that was their destination. Rose felt sorry for the little hobbits scurrying out of the way on the road, but she was more concerned with the fact she was clinging on to Fili for dear life.

"Do you have a room booked?" asked Fili as they led their ponies to the inn's stable. Rose shook her head. "I'm pretty sure we got the last room, you can sleep with us. Kili and I can share a bed." Oh Mahal, this was not something Rose had thought about, but what choice did she really have, soon she would be sharing a floor with a group of dwarves. Rose inclined her head in thanks. After they had deposited their belongings in their room, they began to search for the 'marked' door, which as it turned out wasn't too hard to find. They pulled on the bell and the round green door swung open to reveal a little hobbit,

"Fili." said Fili,

"And Kili." said Kili,

"At your service." they said together. They gave the hobbit a little bow, and Rose joined them, goodness she was out of practice with basic custom.

"Oh and Baraz, he's at your service too." added Fili, gesturing to Rose.

As it turned out they were actually a little early, though gladly not the first to arrive. As more and more dwarves began to arrive no one questioned her presence, Fili and Kili introduced 'Baraz' to everyone as though she was a friend they had known for a long time. When the wizard arrived Rose feared he might see through her disguise, but her fears were unfounded, though he did give her a strange look when he first saw her. Rose began to relax and have fun, there was a brilliant feast, plenty of drink and song, and she felt like she actually belonged for the first time in her life.

After a particularly rousing song, Rose found it hard not to join in; there came a knock on the door. It was Thorin Oakenshield, heir to the throne of Erebor and leader of their party. Rose had heard of his deeds and greatness in battle, his presence hushed the raucous mood of before and brought forth serious discussion of their quest.

I'll finish this chapter later, I've got total mind block as to how to do it, but it will basically just follow the film scene from Rose's perspective, please be patient.
