Thank you for being so patient everyone. I'm really glad I can start writing again. Now my updates won't be as fast but I will update as soon as I can.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Raziel, Calypso and Morgana. Now onto the adventure.
Morgana ran as fast as her legs would carrier her, She noticed that the sun was going down and the wargs were not far behind them. She drew her sword as she launched herself from a rock causing her to land near Ori as a warg had jumped in front of Bilbo. Morgana noticed that they were at a cliff. She turned back to the wargs as she held her sword in front of her and looked at Gandalf. "Up into the trees. All of you climb. Come on Bilbo." He said as Bifur though something at a warg. Morgana saw as Raz fly into a tree with Calypso. She turned to find get Bilbo as he launched himself into a tree. "Shit." She muttered as she sheathed her sword before she ran to the tree Fili and Kili were in and climbed as fast as possible. "Mind if I join in on this party." She said sarcastically as Fili and Kili gave her a confused look. "I don't see how this is a party." Kili said as they looked down towards the wargs as they stopped and turned back to look at the Pale Orc and the white warg. "Oh god." Morgana said before looking at Thorin, "Thorin! Don't listen to him." She yelled as Azog began to speak. "Morgana!" Calypso yelled as Morgana lost the color in her face when she saw the wargs circling the trees. Morgana looked at her cousin with fear in her eyes. "Shoot them down!" She said as Azog gave the signal to attack. Morgana pulled her bow from behind her and drew an arrow and taking aim, her eyes turned silver, as she let the arrow loose hitting the warg in between the eyes. She drew another arrow as the wargs hit the tree causing her to lose her balance. Fili reached out and grabbed her as the tree shakes. She looked down as her bow fell and the wargs began to jump high and higher breaking off the lower branches each time.
Soon the Wargs had up rooted the tree causing it to fall into the one next to them, causing a domino effect, Morgana leaped from on tree to another as they fell until they got to the last tree on the edge of the cliff. She jumped and ended up near Bilbo and Fili, straddling the branch as the wargs closed in on that one tree. "Uh….. Gandalf any ideas." Morgana said as she looked up at him, seeing him light a pine cone on fire with his staff then threw it at the at the great animals causing a fire to start. Morgana grabbed two pine cone and stood up on the branch. "Fili" she heard Gandalf say as she looked to see him drop a burning pine cone into his hands. Bilbo and Morgana quickly put theirs next to his to light them as well. She noticed the sparked quickly and turned to throw them. She looked at Raziel who had been throw his own fireballs. Morgana launched her pinecones, hitting a warg each time, she cheered along with her cousins and the company as they animals ran away from the flames. She smiled and turned to Fili and Bilbo and the tree final gave, tipping over to hang off the cliff.
Morgana screams as she fell between the branches and Fili, she quickly grabbed onto a branch and held on for dear life. She struggled pulling herself up, when she felt someone yank her up and hold onto her waist. Morgana saw Fili gazing at her giving her a small reassuring smile, "I'm not going to let you fall." He said as she pushed her weight on the branch letting Fili help her till she straddled the branch. She went to pull him up before he shook his head. "I'll get up soon move onto the trunk, you'll be safer there." He finished nudging her to move onto the trunk. She moved back quickly till she was on the trunk near the branch. She look to see Thorin stand up with unsheathed his sword and oaken branch shield. She watched in awe as he began to move toward Azog, Morgana slowly stood on the tree as the company watched in fear that their leader was going into battle.
She froze and unsheathed her sword and ran after ignoring her name being called by Fili and Calypso. She saw the white warg hit Thorin with its paws before turning around making her move fast. She saw Azog swing his mace to hit Thorin, Morgana launched herself taking the hit in the back causing her to fly and land on the ground with a sick thud. "MORGANA!" Calypso screamed seeing her beloved cousin land and not move, Bilbo stood up as the white warg surprised Thorin and took him in his mouth causing her to yell in pain. Morgana groaned feeling her back bleeding as she saw Thorin and the white warg. She pulled some life out of the earth before grabbing her sword and launching her attack hitting the snot of the warg. Causing it to launch Thorin across the way. She stood as it growled at her and suddenly launched her a near the edge of the cliff. She groaned as she heard Azog talk to another orc. She couldn't move anymore she felt her body become heavier and then darkness clouded her vision.
Calypso and the company watched as Bilbo stood in front of the fallen leader and the brave woman trying to protect them from harm. Fili launched himself as did the some of the company before rushing in and fighting the orcs and wargs that could cause any more damage. Raziel started grabbing the orcs and flinging them off the cliff as Calypso swung her sword and killed a warg. Those who fought were surprised when giant eagles began to help them fight off the wargs and orcs. Calypso ran to Morgana tried to lift her up before she was flying inside and eagles talons and was dropped and landed on the back of an eagle. She turned to see if Morgana was with them. She saw Thorin unconscious but not Morgana. Hours had past as they flew away from the orcs and the danger behind them. She saw the sun began to rise as she looked around to see if she could find Morgana or Raziel. "Thorin!" Fili yelled towards his uncle as Calypso yelled "Raziel!" when she saw him flying a short distance away, with someone in his arms. Raz turned his head towards her and nodded as they got closer to their destination.
Daylight began to shine in the skies as the eagles flew closer to their nesting areas. Calypso looked as they began to get closer to a small mountain that seemed isolated. The eagle that carried Thorin set him down gentle as the other followed suit. Raziel landed next to Thorin and laid Morgana's body down next to his. Gandalf ran to them as Raziel kneeled next to his cousin and held his breath as he checked to see if she was alive. Calypso ran to Morgana and began to cradle her head. "Morgie…come on you need to wake up." She said as her vision began to blur from the tears that began to build up. Raziel saw her chest move slightly and let a relieved sigh before hugging his mate to his side. "She alive, she'll be ok." He finished as Thorin and Morgana opened their eye. "The halfing?" Thorin asked Gandalf, Gandalf smiled softly. "It's alright, Bilbo is here….he's safe." He explained while Morgana groaned and tried to get up. Fili rushed over to her and helped her up while Dwalin and Kili helped up Thorin. "You! What were you doing? You nearly got yourself killed! Did I not say that you would be a burden, that you would not survive in the wild and that you have no place amongst us?" Thorin asked moving towards Bilbo. "I've never been so wrong in all my life." He finished before embracing Bilbo in a tight hug.
Morgana smirked at them, "I can see what's happening" She started saying as Fili looked at her confused. "What?" Calypso laughed before continuing "And they don't have a clue." Raziel chuckled under his breath as Morgana went on. "They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line your trio is down to two." She finished pointing to Fili and Kili. They looked even more confused as before. Morgana smiled as Thorin and Bilbo talked to each other, until Thorin turned to her. "You!" He scolded and moved towards her before embracing her as well. "I have never met anyone who would try to protect someone that they do not know. I would be proud to call you kin." He finished as she smiled. "It's nothing Thorin, really I'm just glad you're okay." Morgana said as she straighten up and winced. Everyone moved toward her to see if she need help. "Let Oin take a look at you." Thorin said as he turned back towards Bilbo. "Is that?" Bilbo asked softly as they move towards the small cliff. "Erebor…. The lonely Mountain…..The last of the great dwarf kingdoms of Middle Earth." Gandalf explains as Thorin stood proud before them. "Our home." He finished as a bird flew by them. "A Raven….the birds are moving back to the mountain." Oin pointed out as they looked towards the bird. "That, my dear Oin, is a thrush." Gandalf corrected as hope light up on the companies face. "Then we will take it as a sign…. A good omen." Thorin said smiling at Bilbo, while he nodded. "Yes I do believe the worst is behind us." He said as they stood in silence looking at the mountain.
Morgana raised her hand slightly. "Did you all forget the dragon?!" She exclaimed while moving to lean on Fili. The company looked at her will a dull expression and sighed at the obvious challenge ahead of them if Smaug was alive. Oin made Fili sit Morgana down on a boulder before examining her back. "You received quite a blow lass…you look like you need stitches…but I won't know for sure until we wash the wounds." Oin said as motioned for water as he pressed against down around the wounds. Morgana winced and clenched her hand as Calypso and Raziel kneeled in front of her while Fili grabbed her hand. "You had to be the hero huh?" Calypso asked sarcastically ask Morgana smirked and Oin scolded. "You should be glad you didn't die." He said as she smirked. "It takes more….trust me." Morgana muttered before hissing in pain when a wet cloth was dabbed on her back. Calypso looked through her bag and pulled a shirt that was big enough for Morgana. "You won't need stitches lass, but it will take time to heal correctly." Oin said as he put some herbs on the clean cuts. "Thank the gods….. I don't think I could deal with stitches again."
Calypso help Morgana put on the fitted shirt before helping her up and handed over her sword. Morgana strapped her sword to her hip before she sighed softly. Morgana felt a hand on the small of her back. She looked to find Fili looking upon her softly. Morgana opened her mouth to speak as Fili smashed his lips upon hers. Morgana stood shocked as the sensation grew and she closed her eyes deepening the kiss. "Finally!" most of the company shouted causing Morgana and Fili to pull away. Morgana looked at Fili before slowly moving away from him and looking at the company, Most of them smiling while some just stood there.
"We need to get down this mountain and far away from Azog and his scouts." Morgana said as she placed her hand on her hips. Gandalf nodded. "She's right. Azog will stop at nothing till the line of Durin is ended, we must find shelter from them as soon as possible." He finished as everyone gathered their supplies.
"They're still good distance behind us we can rest tonight once we're at the bottom." Calypso suggested as Raz's wings slowly disappeared before he began to put a shirt on. Morgana walked towards the edge of the cliff looking towards Erebor as Thorin began to order Nori to find a way down the cliff. "What's wrong?" Calypso asked as she moved next to Morgana. Morgana sighed and looked at the lonely mountain, "We know the ending to this journey, but this is different than what we've read as kids." She started as she looked back at the company. "This is more than I expected, what am I supposed to do at the end of this?" She looked at Calypso for guidance. Calypso pulled her close and held her soothing the Morgana as she tried to think of something to say. "We change it. They didn't have someone that can give life to those of her choice, or another dragon that can fight Smaug…..or a druid who can control metal or water." She said looking at Raziel, who was now joking with Bofur and Kili, She smiled and moved Morgana back into place. "We will save them without a doubt" She finished walking towards her mate. Morgana smiled and looked back towards the mountain.
Thorin saw Calypso walk away from Morgana and how Fili looked at her with longing. He sighed and walked up to Morgana, "You know, Erebor is more marvelous up close." He said causing her to jump. "Thorin, you scared me." She said as placed a hand in the middle of her chest. He chuckled and walked up next to her. "I have a few questions…If you will answer them." Morgana looked at him and nodded, "Of course." "How do you know about Smaug?" He asked looking at her expecting as Morgana sighed, "Back home, and there's some records of this journey Smaug is mentioned. Though they do not tell the outcome of this journey." She explained as turned towards him. Thorin sighed as they stood in the sunlight, "we will see, and how are you fairing with the news of being Fili's one? It's not every day that royalty finds theirs in such a short time of leaving their home." Thorin said with a smirk on his face, Morgana began to blush as she looked at Fili, Thorin looked at Fili, as he smiled at her, before looking back at the blushing woman. He saw that Nori returned, "We should go see if Nori found anything." Thorin said as he walked towards the group, "There's some type of steps leading to the bottom." Morgana heard Nori report as everyone began to fall in line. Morgana stood behind Raziel as they began to trek down the cliff.
Hours passed before they reached the bottom the cliff and began to move in the direction of the lonely mountain. Morgana felt a tap on her shoulder causing her to jump and look back. "Bilbo, you are trying to scare me to death." She said as the hobbit looked down sheepishly. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask if you were okay?" He asked causing her to smile. "A few bumps and bruises won't stop me." She said as he smiled, he opened his mouth to say something when suddenly Thorin stopped. "We'll camp here, it's going to get dark soon. Dwalin and I will take first watch, Then Fili and Kili, Then Raziel and Balin." He said as everyone began to create a small camp.
Everyone sat down and began to talk among themselves. Morgana yawned slightly and leaned on the side of the rock, she stood next to. She untied her sword from her hip before she sat on the ground and looked as everyone settled into their spots. Calypso and Raziel sat near the corner of her boulder, smiling hold each other close. Fili began to move towards Morgana as he was pulled aside by Thorin. "Fili…I want you to help Bofur gather fire wood." Thorin ordered before moving to his lookout point. Morgana looked at Fili, giving him a reassuring smile, as he smiled and nodded before going off. Kili sat near her with a smile on his face. "How are your wounds?" Kili asked as she raised an eyebrow at him. "Their fine." She said slowly, Kili smiled more. "Good." He said before pulling her into a hugs, causing her to gasp in shock and pain. "Welcome to the family." He said as the camp looked at them smiling. Morgana smiled and patted him on the back, "Thanks." She said as she moved away from him and back onto the rock. She began hum a song that she sung at her parent's wedding. "What's that song your humming, lass?" Gloìn asked as Bofur and Fili walked back into camp. Morgana blushed, "Ummm…. It's the song I sang at my parents wedding." She replied as Fili started to build the fire pit. "You were born before your parents were married?" Bilbo asked as Calypso and Morgana nodded. "We both were…..My father meet my mother and had me before going back to the military. Her father met her mother and they fell in love after they found out she was pregnant." Calypso explained as she curled into Raziel. Fili moved to sit next to Morgana. Raziel took a deep breath before blowing out white blue fire starting the campfire, while making everyone, except Calypso and Morgana, jump. Calypso snuggled herself into Raziel for heat. "When we get to someplace safe, I would like to give you a courting braid." Fili murmured as he pulled her into his arms. She smiled before nuzzling herself into his neck. "Miss Whelan maybe when we get to a safe place would you sing us that song?" Ori asked shyly causing Morgana to smile. "I would love to Ori…and please call me Morgana." She said as she leaned towards the flames. The company smiled at her while Fili stared at her, mesmerized by the light of the fire shining in her hair.
"What happened to your mother?" Gloìn asked causing Morgana and Calypso to look up quickly. The company noticed their reaction and shared a look as Morgana and Cal looked at each other. "She left after my father had joined the military. She couldn't handle the tension of him never coming home, so she left me and him when he was gone. Dropped me off with Cal's dad and didn't even say goodbye." Morgana said as Fili placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked back at him and smiled. She began to hum a different that made Calypso begin to tear up. Morgana stared into the fire singing softly
Somewhere there's a sea that has no other side
Somewhere there's an airplane lost, beyond the sky
So fly us up, above the clouds
Live your life, where you are now
In the darkness round the sun
There's a light behind your eyes
When you've lost the will to run
You can feel it start to shine
When the rain falls down so hard
And you don't know where to start
Ohh, drowning in the sun
Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah
Oh, ooh
Somewhere someone thinks they've found their perfect love
And you think you've found the answer to all of this
So hang on
Sometimes we miss
I'll be your perfect kiss
In the darkness round the sun
There's a light behind your eyes
When you've lost the will to run
You can feel it start to shine
When the rain falls down so hard
And you don't know where to start
Drowning in the sun
Drowning in the sun
Drowning in the sun
Morgana finished as she wiped away the tears from her eyes and looked at the company. "We should sleep we need to be up before dawn." She suggested before she laid her head on Fili's chest as Fili ran his hands through her hair, luring her into peaceful dreams. Everyone nodded and smiled softly at the new couple. Bilbo looked at Calypso and noticed her eyes spilling over with tears. "Calypso, who was that song for?" He asked softly as he moved towards her and placed a hand on her shoulder. Calypso looked at him while wiping away the tears. "She sang that song at our aunts' funeral. Our aunt was the only mother figure she grew up with and when she passed, she sang that song without a thought." Calypso explained before taking a calming breathe. "She hasn't sang it since the funeral, talking about her mother must have made her think about the funeral." Calypso finished looking at Morgana with sad eyes. Thorin, Bilbo and the rest of the company looked at the sleeping couple. "She's a strong lass." Bofur said as everyone nodded in agreement. "Get some sleep, Morgana is right we need to get up before dawn." Gandalf said as everyone got comfortable and fell asleep or began to take watch.
Before the sun had entered the sky the company heard a howl. Raziel and Balin started breaking down the small camp while everyone got up and armed themselves. "Bilbo go see how far Azog's pack is to us." Thorin commanded. Morgana got up and began to stretch. "What are you doing?" Fili asked as he noticed his love and her family stretching as if they were about to fight. Morgana winked at him, "Just getting ready for whatever is going to come our way." Fili smirked and pulled her towards him. "You know that, you have this look, like you know exactly what's going to be happening next. Tell me?" He asked before kissing her firmly, Morgana smiled as she pulled away. "Spoilers." She said before grabbing her sword and strapping it to her waist. She pulled him towards his cousins and waited for Bilbo to return.
AN: Whoo and now we are about to enter Desolation of Smaug. Next chapter should be up soon. It will contain jokes, first sign of bagginshield and maybe some spoilers. Until next time. I don't own the song, but it is an amazing song
