Chapter 10
Galadriel and Stone Giants
I found myself in the gardens of Rivendell, but had a feeling it was a vision or dream for I had fallen asleep in Fili's arms.
"Don't worry, child. You weren't taken from your newly wedded husband." A woman of beauty stepped forward. She was dressed all in white with long blonde hair with a crown perched on her forehead. I knew who she was right away for mother had spoken of her even if my mother was a Mirkwood Elf before she married my father.
"Lady Galadriel. Its an honor to meet you." I said, curtsying in respect.
"No need for that, Lady Amara. I come to help you understand your visions." Galadriel said.
"I'm gonna loose my family." I said.
"Only you can save them, Amara. You must save the Line of Durin. Only you can change the fate of your father, husband, and brother along with yours. The visions are a warning. The future is forever changing. So you have a chance to save them." Galadriel said.
"Or Dain will take the throne of Erebor if all of us die." I whisper.
"Yes and you can save your father." Galadriel said.
"The Gold Sickness?" I ask.
"Yes, child. The sickness took your adoptive Great Grandfather and Grandfather. It will effect Thorin. You melted his cold heart after the dragon took the Mountain. You can save him from the sickness." Galadriel said.
"How? How can I save him?" I ask.
"Only you can figure it out, child. I leave you now. Good luck with the quest and when you get closer to Mirkwood. The truth of your mother's family will revealed and you will not like the outcome." Galadriel said. I opened my eyes to find the moon low in the sky and Fili fast asleep spooned out behind me.
I slipped out of his arms and slipped into a nightgown and robe. I headed out to the balcony outside our room. Galadriel's words rang through my head. I rubbed my forehead. I was stressing out now with worry and I shouldn't. I felt arms wrapped around me from behind and Fili press a kiss to my neck.
"You alright, love?" Fili asked.
"I'm fine. Just woke up from a dream." I said.
"A good one I hope." Fili said.
"Yes." I lied, not wanting to worry him.
"Come back to bed, love." Fili said. I joined him back in bed and we curled up together and fell back to sleep.
The next two days was uneventful. Fili and I stayed together in bed and came out mainly to eat. Thorin broke the news that we were leaving in the early morning the next day. Fili and I decided to join the Company on the balcony that they were sleeping in. Kili was happy that we joined them. I sat on Fili's and my bedroll. I was stuck between my two favorite boys as Bofur and Bifur cooked meet over a fire that was made from furnature of the elves.
"Bombur." Bofur called. I looked up as I ran a comb through my mess of a hair as Bofur tossed a sausage at Bombur, who was sitting on a table of sorts. I could hear it cracking from his weight. He caught the sausage and the table fell under his weight. Kili and I were laughing along with the others. Fili came over and laid down beside me.
"Let's get some sleep." Fii said. I nodded. I fell asleep curled up to Fili as Kili laid with his back towards us.
The next day at dawn. We crossed the bridge, leaving Erebor. I walked with Fili and Kili. Thorin stops near the Hidden Passage as we walked towards it.
"Be on your guard, we're about to step over the edge of the wild. Balin. You know these paths, lead on." Thorin said.
"Aye." Balin said. I send a smile at Thorin, who returned it as Fili and I walk by.
"Master Baggins, I suggest you keep up." Thorin called. I turned my head and saw Bilbo looking one last time at Rivendell. I took one last look as well. It was a beautiful city. I hoped to return maybe one day.
We walked across the wilderness of Middle-Earth, moving closer to the Misty Moutains. I stayed close to Fili and Kili. We stopped a few times to sleep and take break to eat as we crossed ranges and plains. We made our decent into the Misty Mountains as we finally made it. It was not yet dark and Thorin wanted to try and get further into the Mountains before night fall. It was downpouring as it became night. I had the hood of my coat up as I walked with Kili in front of me and Fili right behind me. Both had their hands on my arms, making sure I didn't fall. The rocks were slippery.
"Hold on!" Thorin called from the front of the group. A cry comes out.
"Bilbo!" I heard some of the dwarves call. I turned my head to see Dwalin and Bofur catch Bilbo from falling. I looked at Fili with worry in my eyes.
"Just stay close to the rock wall. We'll get out of this alive." Fili said. I nod and he squeezed my hand in reassurance.
"We must find shelter!" Thorin yelled.
"I couldn't agree more." I said.
"Wath out!" Dwalin yelled. I looked up to see a huge boulder hurtling through the air and hit the Mountain right above us. Fili quickly pushed me against the wall and covered me as debries of rock fell down towards us.
"This is no thunderstorm. It's a thunder battle! Look!" Balin said, pointing out. I looked and gasped.
"Oh Mahal." I said. A stone giants rears upfrom a nearby mountain, ripping a boulder from the top of the Moutain. I clutched Fili's arm as we watched. "The Legends are true. Stone Giants." Bofur was saying the same thing as he moved forward.
"Take cover, you'll fall!" Thorin yelled.
"What's happening?" Kili asked. I watched as the giant threw the boulder far in the air as another giant appears and the boulder hits it in its head. I cry out as the rock beneath our feet starts moving. Fili shoves me fast right into Kili as the ground begins to split. Kili catches me.
"FILI!" I scream as Fili and the other dwarves move away from us. The Company was seperated as I realize that we were on a stone giant. Kili held me close to the wall as the giants fought. Our leg comes close to the edge and we all jump onto the ledge. Kili held me as we watches as the rest of the Company was not able to. I heard Thorin yell for them to jump, but they couldn't without falling to their deaths.
I watched in horror as the giant that the others were on was hit in the head with a boulder and its head fell off. The leg was falling towards the Mountain and all we saw was it crash into the wall.
"FILI!" I cry out.
"No! No! Fili!" Thorin yelled. We all ran down the path towards where the leg had hit the wall. We found the others all alive.
"We're all right! We're alive!" Balin said. Kili and I pushed passed Thorin and ran towards Fili, who was getting to his feet. I threw my arms around his neck and pressed a kiss to his lips. Kili joined us in a hug.
"Your alive. Don't ever do that to me again. We die together." I said.
"I'm sorry, love. I was just trying to protect you." Fili said, pressing a kiss to my forehead.
"Where's Bilbo? Where's the Hobbit?" Bofur yelled. I looked and saw him barely holding onto the ledge.
"HERE!" I yell.
"Get him!" Dwalin yelled. Fili and Kili held me as Bofur, Dwalin, and Ori reached for Bilbo. He slipped and fell a few more feet. Thorin went down and hoisted him back up.
"ADAR!" I scream as he slipped as he tried and pulled himself back up, but Dwalin quickly grabbed him and pulled him up. I sighed in relief as Fili and Kili let me go to help the others up.
"I thought we lost our burglar." Dwalin said.
"He's been lost ever since he left home." Thorin said. Bilbo and I looked at Thorin in shock. "He should never have come. He has no place amongst us."
"Adar. He has every right along with us. We need him." I said.
"Silence Amara. Dwalin!" Thorin called, finding a cave. I was shocked he would tell me to be silent. I sigh as I helped get everyone up. We entered the cave.
"There's nothing here." Dwalin said. The cave was safe, but I had a bad feeling. Fili, Kili, and I found a spot in a corner.
"Right then. Let's get a fire started." Gloin said, dropping a bundle of wood on the floor.
"No, no fires, not in this place. Get some slee. We start at first light." Thorin said as Fili and I curled up together on our bedroll. I looked towards Thorin in shock. Balin did the same thing.
"We were to wait in the mountains until Gandalf joined us. That was the plan." Balin said.
"Plans change. Bofur, take the first watch." Thorin said.
"Adar's being stuborn." I said.
"He is. I'm sorry about tonight. We made it out at least for now." Fili said.
"Your forgiven. Just don't do it again." I said.
"Get some sleep, love. You'll need it." Fili said. I fell asleep wrapped in Fili's arms and with Kili moved closer to help warm us up since there was no heat from a fire.
"Wake up! Wake up!" Thorin's yelling woke us up. I sat up and saw cracks forming in the floor and the sounds of machanics. The floor tilted and I slip right through a tunnel. I cried out as I hit the rock and heard grunts and groans from my friends as we slid down the tunnel. Bilbo and I, who were the lightest of everyone and fell into a cage. I landed on top of Bilbo.
"Fili!" I call out.
"Right here, love." Fili said, from underneath Bombur. Screeches came and I turned my head.
"Oh no. Goblins." I groan, seeing what was coming our way. First Stone Giants and now Goblins. This journey was getting worse by the day.
AN: There you go with the new chapter. I thought I would have Galadriel talk to her and warn her. I hope you enjoyed and please. If you have any ideas for this story, I would love to take them. I love my readers opinions. I'll update soon.
