Just to clarify, I only own whats not in the books or the movies.


Aiden slept for hours, gaining back her strength. When she woke, her stomach immediately grumbled. She'd either have to eat or absorb sunlight. But seeing as the sin was setting, she'd yave to eat. It wasn't as if she hated food, but all her experience in the forest with Radagast recently with everything rotting away made her rely more on her ability to absorb light. So much so that she had forgotten what food tasted like.

She slowly wandered the halls of Rivendell. But the sound of music led her straight to the dining area, where she found the company. Fili saw her first and was quick to invite her to his table. "My lady, please join us." Aiden smiled and rushed to the empty seat next to the young prince. From her seat, she saw Dori trying to get his brother to eat.

"Try it. Just a mouthful."

"I don't like green food." Ori said as he dropped a piece of lettuce on his plate. Mina, who had been sitting on the table next to his plate, ripped off a piece of the lettuce and munched on it before spitting it out and angrily throwing her lettuce on the table, as if she were mad at the taste.

"Where's the meat?" Dwalin asked angrily as he searched through a bowl.

"Have they got any chips?" Ori asked.

Over at Ava's table, the water-Starlyte, who sat at the end of the table next to Bofur, noticed Kili wink at the Elf playing the harp. And it wasn't missed by the other Dwarves

When Kili saw that Dwalin, Bofur and Ava saw his action, he defended himself. "Can't say I fancy Elf maids my self, too thin. They're all high cheekbones and creamy skin." He then whispered to Bofur. "Not enough facial hair for me." That made Ava cover her mouth and nose to hide her unlady-like snort. "Although," Kili said as he motioned toward the elf passing behind him. "That one there's not bad."

Just as Dwalin was about to break the news to the prince, Ava held up her hand to stop him. "Please, allow me."

She then faced the Elf in question and gave her head a slight tilt with a small smile. And with a bat of her blue eyes, he was by her side. Gently taking her hand, he gave it a small kiss. "My lady." He said. "Welcome to Rivendell." He then continued on his way.

Ava then faced Kili with a smirk. "You're right. He's not bad at all." This caused the other Dwarves and Aiden to start laughing, much to Kili's dismay.

Up in the branches of the tree in the dining area sat Jua. She quietly ate an apple as she watched everything down below. From what she was seeing, she could tell that Dwarves were not at all fond of Elvish music. But what she really paid attention to were the Starlytes. They did not sit together. Were they not really aware of one another? Jua used to always tell Arwen that she was lucky to be surrounded by others of her own kind. How her race wasn't endangered of becoming extinct. She watched as Elrond explained to Gandalf and Thorin about their new weapons. She also saw the Halfling looking at his own weapon with curiosity. Soon enough, Thorin abruptly pushed himself from the table and stomped under the tree.

"Thirteen Dwarves, a Halfling and two Starlytes. Strange traveling companions. Gandalf." Elrond commented.

"These Dwarves are the descendants of the house of Durin." Gandalf explained. "They're noble, decent folk. And they're surprisingly cultured. They've got a deep love of the arts."

"Change the tune, why don't you?" Nori suddenly asked the harpist. "I feel like I'm at a funeral."

"Did somebody die?" Oin asked.

"Alright, lads. There's only one thing for it." Bofur said before standing on the table and getting on the pedestal that stood in the middle of the area.

There's an inn, there's an inn, there's a merry old inn
beneath an old grey hill,
And there they brew a beer so brown
That the Man in the Moon himself came down
one night to drink his fill.

Everyone was quick to join. Ava didn't know the words to this song, but she gladly clapped to the beat. And it wasn't long until someone started throwing food.

The ostler has a tipsy cat
that plays a five-stringed fiddle;
And up and down he saws his bow
Now squeaking high, now purring low,
now sawing in the middle.

Aiden was having fun with this song. She even grabbed a biscuit and tossed it at Bofur as he continued his song.

So the cat on the fiddle played hey-diddle-diddle,
a jig that would wake the dead:
He squeaked and sawed and quickened the tune,
While the landlord shook the Man in the Moon:

'It's after three!' he said.

Everyone cheered after the last line. And Kili managed one good throw of food that just barely missed Lindir. "Now that's music." Bofur quipped before taking his seat next to Ava.

"You were wonderful." She said with a smile. Bofur gave a shrug and a light blush.

Jua just chuckled at the scene before dropping from the tree. It gave the Dwarves a slight jump, but the Elves just smiled, hlad to know that their Starlyte was there, but even more so glad to watch her next actions.

Elrond smiled and leaned toward the Wizard. "She's been practicing, old friend."

Jua brought her hands together and made a small clap. When her hands seperated, a small light came out. It greww bigger until it was the size of a grapefruit. She then set it to float over the pedestal that Bofur had stood on. Once it was in place, she started to sing.

Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba

Sithi uhm ingonyama

From the light, small, dew-drop sized lights came out and grew. They took the form of animals that started to sing with her.

Ingonyama
Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama
Ingonyama
Siyo nqoba
Ingonyama

She then sang one line and the animals repeated it over and over.

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Jua happily sang for not only the Dwarves, but for her fellow Starlytes. It wasn't often one could see a Starlyte, let alone two.

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

The light-Starlyte was happy to show off. Once she had finished singing the first part, enough light had spread around the dining area that it was surrounded by animals that were singing with her.

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love

Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

From here, Jua pulled out a wooden flute and played music. From the music, a large amount of light was drawn from the orb on the pedestal. It then took the form of a lion. The great beast stepped before Thorin and bowed. Thorin, not knowing what else to do, bowed back. The lion the walked toward Jua and bowed to her. She bowed back before singing.

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love

Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

The moment she stopped, the lights vanished. Simply disappeared. All the Elves, Starlytes and Gandalf clapped. Even Bilbo couldn't stop his added applause. The Dwarves were silent, not fully understanding what had happened. Jua bowed and turned to Bofur with a smirk. "How's that for music?"
