Chapter 29

I will return

xXx

I saw they turned their heads towards me and then they looked at something down the stonewall, they are talking about me. Thorin came up and I think he was shouting. Dain is only about three or maybe two days from here. This will be a mess if they start fighting. I can´t just sit here and do nothing. I went over to the wall, climbed it and saw what was all the fuss about and saw the Prince of Greenwood, alone looking up on us. What is he doing here? Does he want to die?

"Tiaashar! I need to talk to you," Legolas said to me. Oh… "Please." I turned and grabbed the rope, tied it fast and sat on the edge of the wall. Thorin grabbed my arm.

"What are you think you doing? You going to send him up here?" Thorin asked. Of course not.

"You will never let that happen. You would cut the rope when he is halfway and send him to his dead!" I almost spat at him. "He wish me no harm, Thorin," I said calm. "I am only going to talk to him."

"I am not letting you," Thorin said.

"Fine, I´ll jump. Can you stop me if I do?" I asked, he did not answer. "Trust me, please. I trust him and so can you trust me. I will be back." I hate it when I cannot convince him. "I love you Thorin, as my father." I saw it on him he was surprised I said it, even he knows it, but we´ve never said that I was like a daughter to him, or he was like a father for me. I did not care at the moment that everyone was listening, even Bilbo. "But I am going and you cannot stop me." I said the final word and I got myself down the wall, looking upon Thorin.

When I got down Legolas took me in his arms and hugged me, he kissed my head. "I´ve never been so glad seeing anyone alive," he said. "When I heard the news that Bard killed Smaug in Lake-Town, I feared that you was dead." I took my arms around him and took in the smell of Elf. He let go off me and looked into my eyes as tears start raining down from the corner of my eyes. I wish this did not happen, none of this! I leaned on his shoulder with my forehead.

"I don´t know what to do anymore," I said to him. "About everything." He took his arms around me and yet I again I felt his warm. I felt safe. "What is happening over at your camp?" I asked.

"Nothing much really. My father and Bard are trying to figure out what to do. Thorin have rejected the offer twice now," Legolas said and I looked at him, as I took away my tears. "What can we do to stop this?" He asked.

"There is nothing we can do," I said. I looked over at Dale as the sunset was here. That looks a bit familiar, as if some dream. Azog… He is coming here! Is he? I looked up at the wall and saw Thorin look down at us, also Dwalin, Bofur, Nori and Gloin. "Listen, I must get back up soon I believe, but Thorin´s cousin Dain is coming from the Ironhills. He is having about five hundred Dwarves with him. You need to talk reason with him," I said and he nodded. "I also believe something else will come to."

"Something else as what?" Legolas asked.

"Dale looks strangely familiar with my dream or vision… I never thought about it before, but I think that is where it will happen," I said. Legolas looked over at Dale. "The Pale Orc, Azog, is the one who kills Thorin and he has a whole army of Goblins and Orcs with him."

"This will end up as a massacre," Legolas said. Yeah, probably… "I will tell my father, but can you promise me something?" I nodded. "To stay safe?" Well… He laughed. "All right, maybe not. But can you try be careful?" I nodded.

"I will, for you," I said. He then kissed my forehead, and then my nose and so my lips. I stepped away. "Listen, about this," I began. "We need to take things a bit easier. I have just known you for few days."

"You mean two weeks," Legolas said. I smiled, yes that…

"And the kiss in Lake-Town… We need to take it slower as people usually do," I said. "This just goes to fast."

"All right, we do it your way," he said and then I kissed him. I took my hands around his neck and his arms around my body and almost lifted me up from the ground. "This does not help," he said. I laughed and he sat me down. I went closer to the wall and Legolas stepped backwards. "Be careful, Tiaashar."

"You too," I said and the ladder came down and I grabbed it. I stopped climbing it after few meters and looked at Legolas that still stood there. Making sure I was safe on top. This will not be good, I cannot keep my hands off him!

I can´t say things went easier over the morning light. The Elven King, Thranduil, Bard, Legolas and three other Elven guards, as in Men from Lake-Town arrived the Front Gate. Also an old man in hooded and cloaked, the figure seems quite familiar. Is it Gandalf? Though he did not show himself. The old man took forth a beautiful stone, the heart of the mountain, the Arkenstone. The one Thorin have badly been looking for and turned it in to as he is now. Thorin went in rage and asked how they got it.

"That would be me," a small voice said and I turned to Bilbo. What?

"Why?" Thorin asked in anger, he grabbed him by his shirt and almost lifting him up from the ground. "What kind of burglar are you?"

"You said I could take anything for my fifteenth share and I took it literally," Bilbo said. I placed my hand at Bilbo´s shoulder.

"Put him down, Thorin. You will regret it later if you hurt him," I said and he did put him down.

"The only thing I regret is having him with us," he said angry. He does not need to put that anger on me! Gandalf showed himself as the old man and tried to speak reason to him, but that did not help so they all left. Thorin went down the wall again, stubborn and angry. Bilbo, by the command of Thorin, climb down to the other side and joined the Elves and Men.

When the night fell I took on my Elven cloak, my bow and quiver of arrows and my two swords. I did not bring anything else, it is not so far to the Elves. I walked towards wall and met on Dwalin, he was just finishing his shift.

"Where are you thinking you´re going?" He asked me.

"To the Elves," I said. "I am having enough of Thorin at the moment." I said the truth to him. "You cannot speak reason to him, as for what he is now. The gold is taking a hold over him."

"You´re planning on going back to your Elf?" He asked me, a bit bitter.

"Yes and to Gandalf. Dain is coming and it will be a war there that I am planning on to stop," I said and climbed up the wall, there Bofur sat. He looked sad eyed. "Be safe Bofur," I said to him. "I will return."

"Be safe you too, Lady Tiaashar," he said and smiled to me. "I will expect you to return." I hugged him and climbed down the wall. I took hiding in the shadows of the night and disappeared into the open wasteland.
