"In a midwinter when the snowflakes were falling like feathers from heaven, a queen sat sewing at her window, which had a frame of black ebony wood, as she sewed she looked up at the snow and pricked her finger with her needle-
"Did she get an infection from such a needle?!"
The girl turned to see Gloin and Oin sitting up next to the step listening to the story.
"No, she did not; however three drops of blood fell into the snow and the red on the white looked so beautiful that the queen wanted a child as white as snow and her lips red as blood and hair as black as the ebony wood, not long after she had a child of these traits but the queen had died during the birthing of the child-
"Was it in a battle that the queen had died from?"
Tsaiya turned to see Nori Ori and Dori sitting up next to the railing to hear her tale.
"No; she died from birthing the child" she repeated while continuing the tale once more.
"A year late the king took another wife, this woman was beautiful yet she was proud and arrogant and she could stand if anyone who might surpass her beauty and as such had a magic mirror and with every morning she stood before it-
"Did it show her ugly true form within her?" Bofur spoke as he as well as Bombur and Bifur stood next to the sleeping cows eager to hear the story as well.
Tsaiya groaned while shaking her head. "No, it was a magic mirror that would speak to her of who was the fairest in the land and as such the mirror would respond that she was the fairest of them all"
"Snow White, the name of the beautiful child grew up and became ever more beautiful and when she had turned seven, she was beautiful as the light of day and even more than the queen herself and one day when the queen asked her mirror, the mirror said that Snow White was a thousand times fairer than her, in such a rage and hate developing in the queen's heart of the child she had summoned a huntsman to take Snow white and kill her in the deep within the woods and as proof as to such a murder to bring forth the lungs and liver of the child back-"
The dwarves had disgusted faces plastered, who would do such a thing as to kill a child and desecrate its remains by taking its liver and lungs.
The girl just rose an eyebrow as they had interfered with her story telling once again.
"If you keep interrupting my tale then I will not be able to finish it"
The dwarves shocked at her outburst, quieted themselves down to hear the rest of her story.
But she had even more listeners now, Thorin who was situated far from the crowd could hear her soothing voice along with Gandalf who was seated in a chair and even Fili who had joined himself next to his brother, it seemed that the entire company who had trouble sleeping was now listening to the girl's voice and the girl's story to tell.
Though there came snickering from Gandalf; for he had not ever heard of a story about an evil queen being jealous of a child and had hired a huntsman to kill her to devour her organs, he couldn't stop laughing.
"The huntsman took Snow White into the woods and was about to stab the innocent heart when she began to cry for her life, vowing that she will run into the woods and never ever return to the kingdom to which the huntsman took pity on her and said to her that she was free to leave for he believed that she was going to die in the woods from wild animals, he had killed a boar and took its lungs and liver as proof of Snow White's death and as such the cook had boil them with salt and the wicked woman had ate it, supposing that she had eaten Snow White's lung as well as liver-
The dwarves once again were in an outburst and Gandalf could not stop laughing for such a preposterous thing could not happen, even Thorin looked in disgust of such madness of a queen to even think of eating a child's innards.
"If you all keep interrupting I will stop this tale right now" she hissed in irritation.
The dwarves immediately shut their mouths as they could feel Tsaiya's anger as sparks of magic began to appear but Gandalf continued to laugh and she let him, he wasn't interrupting the story with constant groans of disgust and all.
"Please continue Tsaiya" Bilbo whimper in fear of his friend.
The girl as if sensing his fear from her, forced herself to calm down.
"Alright, you may all ask questions when I stop talking, alright just do not interrupt me" she said while looking at them, only for them to nod but Kili however just winked at her.
"Snow White who was left in the woods, ventured and ran; animals jumped at her but they did no harm for such a pure heart could even be felt by the animals around, just as evening was about to fall she manage to find a small little house and went inside in order to rest"
Tsaiya stopped herself to look at the crowd, letting them know that if they had questions or groans they should do so now.
"The dwarven house?" Kili asked to which Tsaiya nodded and smiled.
"Correct, it was the dwarf's house" she smiled and then return to telling the story.
"Inside this house, everything was small but so neat and clean that no one could say otherwise, there was a little table with white tablecloth and seven little plates, and each plate had a spoon and there were seven knives and forks and seven mugs as well, against the wall there were seven little beds all standing in a row and covered with snow white sheets, because she was so hungry and thirsty, she ate few vegetables and little bread from each plate and from each mug she drank a drop of wine and then afterward because she was so tired she lay down on a bed but it did not feel right at all, one was too long and another was too short until finally she laid on the seventh to which was just right, she remained lying on it and entrusted herself to the high powers and fell asleep; as darkness settled in the masters of the house returned home and they were seven dwarves"
She stopped since she knew the company was cheering of such characters of being dwarves.
"What were the names of the dwarves" Bilbo asked, entranced with the story.
Tsaiya blinked her eyes but she did not really want to tell the names of said dwarves.
She looked at them in the room and smiled. "Their names were forgotten but their deeds are not" she improvised.
She refused to tell them that they were named after attributes such as Happy Smiley Dopey and Sleepy!
"The dwarves that picked and dug for ore in the mountains and as they lit their candles they soon saw that someone had been in there for everything had not been in the same order as they left it, each dwarf complained of each thing such has their chairs and plates and breads and vegetables and forks and knives and mugs as well, then as they examined further they noticed the mess of their beds but as the seventh looked at his bed, he found Snow White lying there asleep and all the dwarves had come running and cried out in amazement, when they shone the candle light on Snow White one said that she was very beautiful and they were so happy that they had forgotten everything and decided to not wake her but let her continue her sleep, although the seventh had to sleep with his companions one hour with each one and then the night was done"
She stopped again and looked at the dwarves. "Any questions before I continue?"
"I don't have a question but a statement" Gloin said looking skeptical of a tale.
"Go on?" she smiled.
"What kind of dwarf would allow a person to enter their home and mess with their belongings? That does not make sense to me" the dwarf with his skeptical look still in place.
Tsaiya shook her head. "I am not too sure but these dwarves allowed her to stay, any more questions?"
The dwarves said nothing as to let her continue with her story.
"The next morning when she had woken up from her slumber an she introduced herself to the dwarves and told them of her wicked stepmother and how she tried to kill her, the dwarves welcomed her and promised that if she would cook and clean and sew and do house work that she would be able to live with them and have anything that she desired that was within their power of doing to which the girl agreed on; every morning the dwarves would go to the mountain to look for gold an ore as Snow White would stay at home and cook and clean and do house work; though she was alone during the day as all the dwarves had gone to the mountain; though they warned her that the stepmother would soon fight out that she lived and told her to not let anyone in under no circumstances; Now the queen believing that she had eaten Snow White's lungs and liver could only think that she was again the first and beautiful woman of all and as she stepped before her mirror and asked such questions, once again the mirror said that the queen was indeed fair and beautiful but Snow White who lives beyond the mountains with seven dwarves was a thousand times fairer than her and as such the queen knew that the huntsman had deceived her and that Snow White was alive and as she pondered she wondered of a way to kill the girl as such that for long she was not the most beautiful woman in the entire land her envy would give her no rest, at last she had an idea; coloring her face she disguised herself as an old woman so no one could recognized her and in this disguise she went to the house of the seven dwarves and knocked on the door while telling of beautiful wares for sale; Snow White who was alone peered out the window and greeted the woman who told her that she had bodice laces in all colors and asked if Snow White had wanted one; Snow White with a pure heart let the woman into the house and picked the most beautiful bodice lace, the unsuspecting Snow White stood before her and let do up the new lace but the old woman pulled so quickly and so hard that Snow White could not breathe at all and with a last of her words the evil woman said to her that she used to be the most beautiful one and hurried away and as evening approached the seven dwarves came home and were terrified when they saw their dear Snow White lying on the ground not moving at all, they lifted her up and noticed that her laces were too tight and as they cut the laces one by one she began to breathe little by little until she came back to life and as she told them her story they happened to say that the old woman was no one else but the evil queen and warned once again to not let anyone within the home"
The dwarves were entranced with Tsaiya's voice that they had stopped with their questions and listened to the tale closely, and each trick that the queen had pulled on Snow White, the dwarves were there reviving her from the bodice lace to the poison comb but as they heard about the poison apple they were questioning of how evil Witchcraft could be but she soothed them saying that magic depends on the user who wields it and continued with the tale, she told them now that there were no way of reviving her this time and the dwarves had closed snow white into a glass coffin for she still seemed to be alive no matter if she was dead, though a traveling prince had come by and fell in love with Snow White and as he told the dwarves that he was her one they realized and gave her away of pity of the prince but as the servants who was carrying her coffin tripped and dislodged the apple from her throat, she became alive once more and married the prince and as such when the evil woman asked if she was the fairest of them all once more, the mirror said that a young queen had been and as she went to visit such a queen she found out that it was Snow White who made her stepmother dance in red hot iron shoes that were placed in burning coals and she was ordered by the new king to dance before them until she fell down dead.
As Tsaiya finished with her tale, the dwarves were confused; though it was Kili who asked the first question as to why this was her favorite story and Tsaiya had answered him saying that it wasn't the queen's downfall or how beautiful the girl was; it was how the dwarves who by feeling her pure heart, helped her when she needed it and she found a family to love. She said she loved how she made a family and they came to love her not by blood but how they were connected by fate and she even compared her meeting with them and Tsaiya even said to them before they went to bed as they looked at her, that they were her family.
Kili smiled at her answer while walking up to Tsaiya and once again kissing her cheek and rested himself next to her to which she had no words of defiance but rather a very hard and fast beating heart.
Two Chapters in One! Please Enjoy!
Vidae
Burning, the place was burning!
Tsaiya's eyes wondered of where she was, the only thing she could focus on was the cries and screams of people rushing by; many buildings were on fire and there was just constantly screaming.
The girl tried to use her powers but for some odd reason they weren't working.
She then tried to call on the people to ask them what was going on but any person she tried to reach too just rushed right pass her as if she was just a bystander.
She looked as the smoke rose to the sky as the orange and red flames burnt while the snapping of support beams tore buildings and bridges apart.
Blood curling screams was the loudest noise to drown everything out.
She ran towards a couple, a woman bent next to a man applying pressure on his face and as the girl looked closely, blood was surging from his face, the burnt mark stinging him as he screamed for it to stop.
She tried to help them but the woman glared at Tsaiya with menacing eyes as if to back away before she would hurt her.
The girl did as such as she was the only one who could possibly calm the man down but she must be of use to help someone.
She walked onwards passed screaming and crying children while others evacuated on boat as everything around them began to be set alight, this fire would not stop at all and no matter what anyone would do this blaze would simply just eat everything up for what it looked like the city seemed to be made of wood.
Tsaiya walked along the sturdy bridges as it continued, trying to ponder of where was she and why did it look familiar for some reason.
She was suddenly caught off guard as she heard laughing.
Looking around she heard laughter, not any type of laugh but one containing such an amusement as if enjoying this as entertainment for them; a maniacal teasing.
The laughter grew louder as she ran around trying to figure out anything, calling forth the companions that she spent weeks with.
Calling even for Havanna to see if it could guide her, but no one could be found at all.
The laughter even grew louder and as she ventured to what seemed to be the middle of the burning town where most of the inhabitants were looking in horror while figuring what to do, Tsaiya saw her.
A woman standing on the tallest building with her hands up, cackling in delight.
"Burn! Just burn to the ground!" the voice sprouted in glee.
Tsaiya noticed this girl to have long jet black hair that was pinned up in a ponytail like manner as she wore a dress similar to that of Tsaiya's but in all black.
As if sensing Tsaiya nearby, the girl looked at her to which Tsaiya had gasped.
It was as if she was looking within a mirror, in a dark twisted mirror as to what seemed like a dark twisted version of herself was staring right back.
The girl looked exactly like Tsaiya, except her hair was dark like the color of the most pitch black nights, her skin radiated death white as her pupils was not of blue but of a ghostly amethyst, though they looked similar but their aura's were completely different.
"You?!" the girl screamed while a warped smile was pasted on her face as she pointed towards Tsaiya and a miniature fireball was aimed at her.
The girl dodged quickly and glared.
"You dare interrupt this crusade of mine!" the voice hissed at her.
"You're twisted! You call this a crusade when you burn people's lives down!" Tsaiya shot back while standing back up.
The girl's beautiful face turned into an ugly snarl.
"Me? Twisted? I'm just being my natural self! My whole natural self!" she screamed while raining down even more death in the form of skulls from above.
Tsaiya ran for cover under a roof which offered her immediate protection.
"Awe? The girl who looks like me? With powers such as mine too? Who clearly is a goody two shoes, where did you go? I want to rip your heart out and see the life leave your eyes" the voice said, it's twisted self then gently hovering down unto the lake where it turned and zeroed in on Tsaiya.
"Be gone you evil blight!" Tsaiya shot back while grabbing a slab of wood and flying it at the figure who was hit and slammed into the water.
Before she could celebrate the figure stood up and snarled.
"Me? I can't leave because I'm a part of you, we always come here together and I'm just going to have some fun killing everything in my path and perhaps everything that you hold dear" the voice teased.
Tsaiya lost it, power or not somehow she walked along the water and tackled the girl down, slapping and punching the figure's face that reminded so much of herself to which was smiling and laughing with each physical contact.
"You will bring death and fire to them, you just won't do it yet" the voice cackled and laugh as she forced the demon into the water and trying to suffocate her.
"I will protect them all!" Tsaiya roared as the girl flipped Tsaiya over and began to suffocate her.
"You really think you can beat me? You don't even know who you are and even me" it hissed while plunging her head down even farther into the depths of the water.
Air bubbles escaping from Tsaiya's mouth as she tried to force herself up and gasp for breath but to no avail.
In a last desperate hope she hooked her elbow into the woman's ribcage to be set free and she rose to the surface and gasped.
"You evil harlot!" Tsaiya snarled while grasping the girl's hair and forcing her back into the water. "You dare threaten me! You may believe that you know me! But you don't and you never will! Now Be Gone!" Tsaiya shouted while she slapped and punched the woman's face.
The woman in response just snarled and growled as if being defeated from Tsaiya.
"I will not be defeated easily!" the evil woman shouted as something odd began to happen, the woman's face began to melt off and a new one had formed; it was as a spell had worn off from her; a spell to conceal her identity.
"I said be gone!" Tsaiya shouted even louder.
The woman seemed to hiss as her amethyst eyes sparkled and began to dim with every slap and punch Tsaiya could throw in; she had grasped the girl by the hair even tighter while pummeling her face an uncountable amount of times.
She felt the rage reached its peak as she heard the woman called forth the names of the companions from Thorin and Gandalf to Gloin and Bifur and Bombur and Bofur and Dori Nori and Ori to everyone else including Bilbo, that she will destroy them all.
"You will not touch them!" Tsaiya shouted while smacking the woman once again, this time a flash of light emanating from her palms as it collided against the woman's face.
She hissed as a burnt mark had appeared next to her face and growled as if something was taken from her.
"You dare attack-" the harpy was interrupted when a punch from the raging one had connected to her jaw once again with the same hand, and another burnt mark had been earned on the opposite side of the woman's face.
Tsaiya who was still consumed in the raging battle felt her powers return to her and realized that this was no mere dream or a horrible nightmare that this was something else; that this was something even more sinister.
This was possibly the evil she had sensed on the Carrocks when gazing of the kingdom in a far off land, this was being that seemed similar to that of her but twisted and more malevolent.
The sinister woman tried to break free of Tsaiya's grasp, trying to escape; but the girl grasped her face and used her magic on her to force the being's spirit into place.
"Tell me your name!" The girl roared while their powers clashed against one another.
"Never!" the other hissed in agony.
Tsaiya had adjusted her fingertips to release another burst of energy to force the enemy to reveal her name.
"Tell me!"
The being under her roared in pain, legs flailing as Tsaiya had sat on her chest to prevent her from moving.
"Ne-Argh! - Vidae" the girl yelled out.
As soon the name was ripped from the girl's mouth Tsaiya had slapped the girl once more while threatening that if she were to attack her as well as any one of her companions ever again that this would be the result once more.
The girl's huffed of exhaustion as well as in pain and Tsaiya had gotten off of her and walked away.
"You dare underestimate me?!"
Vidae stood on her feet prepared to fight Tsaiya once more but before she could even think of casting another spell, the still raging girl whirled around.
"Be Gone!" the girl screamed while magic surged through her and as if in slow motion, a white tendril had quickly left the hand that Tsaiya that held up and traveled it's way rather quickly and zapped Vidae who vanished almost instantly; being thrown out of Tsaiya's subconscious immediately; Tsaiya however felt light as a growing light that had caused the town to vanish consumed her entirely.
She shot up and whirled around preparing to fight Vidae but she then noticed the panicked looks of the company staring at her with worry as some with fear too.
Her ragged breaths were the only thing
She had not known that she had been gasping and yelling within her sleep.
Darkness had lingered on the group as they were only being shined by candlelight that was being held by a large being who Tsaiya had deduced was Beorn who said nothing but looked on with her with curiosity.
"Are you alright?" Gandalf was one and the closest near her for the others, feared a raging wizard-in-training when said was enduring a nightmare.
Tsaiya looked at the figures, Bilbo had been as close to Gandalf but had the look of worry on his face; worry for her sake as well as his.
Ori and Bofur glanced at the girl with fright of her but it was soon discovered after she looked down and they cried that they had heard voices coming from her mouth that was not hers; as if she had been taken over by a whole other force.
Tsaiya then gaped and nodded, for she knew of Vidae now; that this new enchantress had invaded her mind and tried to destroy her from within.
"I'm so sorry" she said to them and as she stepped near, they all stepped backwards as if they still feared her.
One of her worst imaginings realized and they looked at her different now and not the friend that she deserved to be.
The hurt and cracking of her heart realized, she couldn't help but shed tears and a new surge of emotions that ached her deeply was felt and it had dawned on her on what she almost did.
The girl fell to the ground and cried, she almost had hurt her family around her; she did not know that she would probably have killed them and then realized later.
Her wails were loud as she apologized over and over to them while backing to the corner.
"I'm so sorry" she cried out again and again but no matter how many times she would say the words, she felt as if they had no meaning at all that the words cannot cover the actions that she almost had done.
She heard nothing of their answers but felt hands wrapped around her form and as she opened her eyes and looked up she noticed Bilbo, soothing words coming from his lips and calmed her and then in a few brief moments, Kili had neared and then his brother Fili who wrapped their arms around her in a nurturing hug, Kili's whispers of soothed her but also sparked her heart to beat faster to which was not helping the current situation, then soon the others were trying hugging her as well. Even Thorin who she knew had trouble with expressing himself, had ruffled her hair while Gandalf eyed the girl with sad and pitiful eyes while he himself ruffled her hair as well.
"I'm sorry… I'm so sorry" she wept as she clung unto Bilbo and continued to cry and only to be held by the people who were close to her than no other.
"It's alright, Tsaiya" Bilbo hugged his friend tighter.
Make That Three in one!
After last night's shenanigans, everything felt calmer once again and to cover herself; Tsaiya had said that it had been a horrible nightmare of sorts but she had a private conversation with Gandalf who she demanded that it was important, she did tell Gandalf that there was another Celestial who had arrived to the realm and was bent on destroying anything that was good, to which the wizard grew weary of and began asking her that if she had the power to stop her in which Tsaiya had said that if she were to harm anyone in the company or people she began to grow fond and even the innocent that she will personally defeat her.
Even more so because of last night, Kili as well as Fili had stuck to her like glue and followed her around Beorn's house always asking if she was alright and if she needed someone to talk too, that she did not mind, Kili had always been the one to have stuck on her and she liked it but what was awkward was Fili was also doing it as well.
Beorn who was thought to be a beast was an actual friendly type of person, though he detested dwarves; his hatred for orcs and goblins ran way deeper and agreed to help supply the company after much needed rest; he offered to give them mounts up until the entrance to Greenwood as well as give them enough food and water for the journey.
Gandalf suggested for them to rest for at least two days at most since they were protected by Beorn.
Tsaiya sat on a bench outside of the house and watched the dwarves looking at the atrociousness of the bees, wondering how they could become this gargantuan.
She basked in the warmth of the sun as she sat there away from everyone, she still felt guilty of what happened last night but she was just taking precautions just in case if such a thing happened again and if it did then she would personally beat Vidae into a pulp to the point in where she will regret even thinking of such a thing.
She sighed while looking down and pondered, she almost hurt the people who were held special places within her heart and it pained her to even think of even doing such things to them.
"Tsaiya?"
She looked up and saw both Fili and Kili staring down at her, Kili looked worried while Fili had a smile on his face; he wanted to make her happy.
"Yes Fili and Kili, please do not come near me for I might accidentally harm one or both of you" she said sadly.
The brothers laughed while each grabbing her hand and pulling her from the chair; her yellow dress expanding.
"Nonsense, we know you were having a nightmare last night and well we wanted to cheer you up" Fili said while the brothers dragged her outside of Beorn's house and across the fields where they told her that she was moping the day away and they wanted to show her the beauty of the world as well as teach her a few things.
"Kili thought he could teach you how to shoot an arrow and I would teach you how to handle a sword properly" Fili spoke while drawing his sword and whirling around with ease and lightness.
She looked at them stunned.
"We shouldn't even be near the forest, Azog them are looking for us and you both are the heirs to the kingdom as well as Thorin's nephews! You're both are risking yourselves right now!" The girl scolded them, only for them to laugh and chuckle.
"Which is why we brought you here as well, you can just call forth lightning and your other magical greatness and blow them away with ease, plus we aren't scared; Azog won't be traveling in daylight anyway" Kili muttered all so confidently.
The girl rolled her eyes while she the two began to take their weapons out and one began to explain the weapon they possessed, it was Fili who acted first; his talk of the sword and how it can be used to defend as well as to kill and it would depend on the wielder.
Tsaiya however during the talks was backing away, fearing for herself if she were to hurt them once more but the dwarves sensed as well as noticed and dragged her back near them with many protests coming from the girl.
"Now listen!" Kili responded while giving Tsaiya his bow. "I'm going to teach you on how to use this"
The girl took it willingly, she had always admired how bow and arrows were used when she saw Kili used it against the enemy and she had wondered if she could do such a thing as well.
The lessons were going on greatly, they were practicing in shooting cloth that was pinned to trees and as time flew by slowly the girl began to improve her aim almost every single time; Kili saw her progress even faster than a normal person should; was it because she was using magic to assist her that he knew not but it was by far interesting to see her able to hit the cloth almost every time in a matter of hours.
Fili was also impressed by the girl's resolve to accomplish this, even as she lifted up the bow and pulled the string and shot arrows he saw how her eyes sparkled with determination and deep in his own heart he wanted to see her excel as well. When she finally had hit the center of the cloth, she did it again and again as well as again always hitting said mark and as Kili told her to distance herself away from the target, she continued to hit the market no matter how vast the distance.
Kili as well as his brother was extremely impressed and now it was Fili's turn to guide the girl in sword fighting.
"Take this" the blonde said while handing her the sword that was once within his sheath.
She looked at him, if she was going to use his sword, then what sword will he be using?
"Kili, your sword please" he asked his brother who threw his sword along with the sheath with it too.
Kili then sat on a nearby rock as Fili led the girl a few feet away from the observer who wore had a haughty expression on his face.
Fili twirled the blade in his hand while Tsaiya adjusted herself to the unusual weight of this said sword and the fact that she was used to wielding double weapons.
"I feel, odd" she spoke loud while the other two looked confused by her statement and waiting for an answer.
"Well, I'm just used to having another object in my hand to strike with as well" she said while observing her empty hand.
Fili rolled his eyes while he swung the sword and deliberately connected with hers as if he was serious in training her.
The impact against both swords caused her hand to shudder and hurt and she soon dropped said object on the floor and gripped unto her aching hand.
"Again" he announced almost heartlessly while pointing the sword tip at her throat.
Her eyes widened with realization.
"He's serious Tsaiya, show him you are a force to be reckon with" Havanna's voice echoed somewhere nearby, she used her magic to drag the sword to her hand and she parried her sword against his while standing up.
His eyes flickered with determination as he pulled his sword back and twirled it once again, as if trying to instill fear within the girl but only causing her to grin as she mirrored his moves but with more grace and with even greater professionalism.
Kili's shocked expression as he felt the powers of the people in front of him clash as both ripped from their spots and dashed towards one another and began to clash their swords.
Fili seemed to gain the upper hands while commenting that the girl was light footed as she dodged as well as blocked most of his attacks with most extreme difficulty; she was not facing off against a regular orc who knew not of how to properly dodge and block swipes; but a far beyond seasoned dwarf who knew of how to wield a weapon properly and how to block and dodge with ease as well as that contained incredible strength.
The duo clashed with one another again and again and again, sweat dripping from their brows as Fili tried to side slice the girl to which she ducked and tried to slice upwards and he dodged easily.
Havanna could watch for if he would have took a breath or even blink he felt as if he would miss something spectacular, this feeling was felt by the younger brother whose hands were clasped together to ease some of his excitement as a smile was crept upon his face; this turned out to be very interesting indeed.
Tsaiya still felt unbalanced without the fullness of her other hand, she felt as if she should have something there to wield, she was not used to the lightness and nothingness within her hand.
The sound of their steel resonated with each other with each swipe they swung while the smile on Fili's face grew; this wasn't a normal smile but one of challenge and acceptance as if this girl had surpassed his expectation, it was as if this girl need not no training at all that.
He pushed his weight against his side trying to catch the girl off balance and finish this mock training once and for all but she countered by quickly turning to the side and caused him to fall in where Tsaiya had placed the tip of her own sword while she was panting rather hard and a smile on her face, she had finally bested the dwarf.
She extended her hand out as he gripped it immediately and attempted to pull him up but instead Fili's own strength brought the girl down unto him, their weapons were slid to the side as she laid on top of the dwarf.
A blush crept itself on her face as she felt the muscled chest she had fallen unto, she quickly lifted herself as she gazed upon Fili's face which was not similar to that of Kili.
This dwarf was rather fair in all of his features, his eyes which were hazel stared back at her in an unreadable expression, his blonde hair unlike Kili's brunette's reminded the girl of sunlight just tangled itself unto his head and he smelt of smoke as well as iron unlike his brother that smelt of the forest.
He brushed a strand of hair back behind her shoulder and whispered something in Khuzdul.
Her breath hitched while she quickly stood back up, what was happening with her?
She looked to Kili and something snapped within her.
The dwarf who had a very cheerful outlook with him, was now very, very, very angry.
If there was an object within his hands, she believe that said object would be smashed from the dwarf's strength to how heavily his hands were pressing against one another.
Fili sensed his brother's anger as he stood up and looked too as he said something in the dwarven tongue.
The brother's then glared at one another while Tsaiya who was uncomfortable at the sudden environment looked at Havanna.
"I don't understand what they are saying Tsaiya but I assume that it's something bad" the duck whispered while it lounged beneath a tall tree.
The girl looked to the two brothers who began talking in their native language and by the looks of their faces, it seemed as if they were both getting angry.
But then a felt of energy was felt within the air, the energy powerful enough so that the two brothers were interrupted by this surge and looked around, only for the girl to mumble to them to hurry back to the house of the skin changer for something powerful was approaching.
"Hurry back there, I will be there shortly" Tsaiya whispered.
Both Fili and Kili looked at her and were about to comment for her to join them but the look on her face told them that she had already made her mind.
"And no matter what you hear and probably see, do not come to save me"
Fili honoring her wishes with a simple bow; grasped his brother who then looked at her with fear in his eyes, fear of whatever that was making such energy to appear and scared to see her face it.
"Come on Kili, she will be fine; remember she's a wizard" the eldest said while grasping even harder on his brother's shoulder to catch his attention as they quickly ran towards the house.
"That witch is coming, isn't she" Havanna mentioned while sitting up and approached the girl. "I also feel another presence with her, be extremely careful and cautious Tsaiya, this is a being similar to you"
Tsaiya nodded while bending down, letting Havanna climb unto her shoulder as she walked farther away from the perimeter of the house, farther from the company, farther from the dangers this battle could cause to those who would stumble within the way.
"For some reason, it feels as if she's calling for me, as if she's teasing or something" the girl mentioned to the duck as she reached towards her gems and transformed them into both a scepter as well as a sword.
"I'm just surprise that she's near, from that dream last night and for her to appear here in person, it's as if this is all fated to happen" the duck said while his feathers ruffled up.
As they passed some tree's, she saw a figure standing on top of a boulder; a dark staff pointed in the air as if welcoming Tsaiya as the girl's long jet black hair blew with the breeze.
The girl looked up to see storm clouds forming above the field, but could still see the rays of light beyond to where the cottage should reside at.
Tsaiya twirled her scepter and sword in both of her hands while forming her battle stance while Havanna flew on the ground, thus confusing her.
"It cannot be" the duck hissed in anger.
"What?" Tsaiya answered.
In a moment the girl brought her weapons up to block against the wicked staff that seemed to be sharing the same shape as a spear that came down unto her.
"Oh look! What do we have here?" the same voice from the night before whispered sinisterly.
"Vidae" Tsaiya hissed while parrying the blow and sent the girl flying back on her feet a couple of yards away.
"Tsaiya" Vidae cockily sneered.
