Chapter two: The lonely mountain, is real

When I got to New Zealand, it was amazing to the problem is I still don't have enough money for a hotel. So I just walk around the city, enjoying the sightings around, and listen to my music a bit. While I was walking around I felt my stomach growled. I look around and found a restaurant that might be good, I do sometime's eat normal food. When I was about to go in I accidentally bump into someone.

"Oh, sorry! I wasn't paying attention." I said.

"My dear, there's no need to be sorry." That voice. I think I recognized it somewhere. I look up and saw a man with a long gray beard and hair. He almost looks like Gandalf.

"Um...again, sorry" I said.

"No need to... Say, do you have enough money for another like me." That is a strange thing anyone would say.

"Y-Yeah. Why?"

"Well, I've been traveling a long way from home, been robbed by a few people, got attack by wild animals-"

"Wait. You've been robbed!?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you called the police?"

"Well they couldn't solve any problem,plus they might even give up a few days...So I have been trying to find some food to eat but none were a good price I have."

"Oh, I'm sorry...You know what,I think I have enough money for both of us to eat." Why did I say that? Cause I am ALWAYS so kind (sometimes) to everyone that is hurt.

Few minutes have passed by while I and the stranger were still eating. I hope he didn't order something that will bring my money down. I haven't even gotten his name yet.

"Are you on a vacation?" The man ask. I almost didn't know how to answer that.

"I'm not. It's more like stuck here on this place. I don't even have enough money to stay in the hotel. And...I can't even come back home"

"Hmm? Why?"

"Well, my aunt wanted me to leave for some reason. I have no idea why. I always thought she loved me and sometime's be over protective too." I said with a sad expression.

"Oh. I'm sorry for asking."

"I-It's alright," I said and continued to eat.

"Have you seen the hobbit's." He asks.

"Yeah. You know it?"

"Why yes of course. It is a good book and movie. Even though my favorite character is Lady Galadriel."

"Really. She is cool a bit. And sometime's a bit scary when she's mad. But still, she's amazing"

"Yes, she is. What is your favorite character?" Are you kidding me! I thought I wouldn't have to tell someone about that.

"I...I don't want to tell it. It's...a bit embarrassing."

"Then give me a hint."

"Um, okay?" I thought for a moment until I found it.

"Alright. ''I will not part-"

"Smaug." ...Either he is smart as hell or he really is a wizard.

"(Sigh) Yep. Him alright. I like the dragon."

"Why do you choose him?"

"I have absolute no idea."

"(Chuckle) Well, I'm sure you'll find it. By the way, is it okay if you meet me at the end of the town by the end road to the forest? Which have those danger sign zone around them." I nearly chock on my food. Why would someone go there, and why does he want me to meet him?

"W-why? No one goes there. There could be dangerous animals there or something." I do not fear the animals, I am pretty tough taking them down. But I'm quite scared for the man.

"I may or not have some stuff you could have. So meet me there around 4 O'clock. We have a deal."

"Wait, what?"

"Okay. See you there." That's all he said and left, leaving me completely confused. When I got the check, I should have asked him what did he buy. Cause he just wasted all of the money I have left!


I got to the place where the man wanted to meet me. There were many signs of warning zone not go in there. Still, no idea why I have to meet him here. And it was 4:26

"(Groan) Where is he? He said to meet-"

"(Clearing throat) Pardon me." I yelp when I heard that and jumped a bit. I turned around and saw the man again with a smile (guessing it was funny when he scared me).

"Oh um...So why do you want me to meet you here?" I ask.

"Because I want to give you these." He said and pull out the first object, a sword. Got to admit it, it's pretty bad ass sword. It had a bit of ancient writing on the blade. Kind to think of it, I don't know if I saw that sword from somewhere. When he give it to me he also gives me a back scabbard to carry it around.

"This may sound crazy but you need to do this." He said then handed me a can of spray.

"...Do...What?"

"This can have blueberry juice inside, still fresh and sweet. You need to spray it on your clothe's and might even on your skin. Which,...um...you know what I mean."

"...Oka-Wait, What!" Finally got it what he meant.

"Not now, it may help you...I hope. And also you are going to need this." He took something out of his pocket and gave it to me. It was a necklace skeleton key.

"...Why do I need this?" I ask a question face.

"Just keep it. Also, you may need to drink this when you go into the forest." Then he gave me some kind of round bottle with red liquid inside. Why would he-WAIT did he say when I go into the forest!

"Wait a minute! Time out! Do you expect me to go in there!?" I yelled and pointed at the forest.

"Why yes. What did you expect."

"I-Yo-Ther-" I shutter then turn towards the forest. People are never to go there, to be honest, I'm freak out of what's happening.

"You'll be fine. Just make sure you drink that bottle after you spray yourself with the can"

"But-I-Wha-"

"Make sure you are far away from town. Oh and one more thing, make sure you don't get yourself killed."

"I-wh-...WAIT! WHAT!" I yelled and turned around to face him but he was gone.

"...What the hell just happen!?"

I have no idea what just happen minutes ago. I don't even know if I should even take his advice or not.

'Okay, either ignore what he said or just do something dumb." I thought for a moment. It literally took 2 second's to think about it. If I get myself killed, I blaming the man.

I was wondering in the forest, completely lost and far away from town. While I kept walking I did remember what the man said, spray the can on your clothe's and...the other part (Ain't going to say it, but I did it for five minutes and I accidentally got some of the spray on my face and head). After I got that done I really felt uncomfortable after doing that. So I guess now I have to drink the bottle. No idea what is it, but I took it quickly. When I got to the last drop, it tasted so gross, I nearly puke.

"(Groan) Oh, my god. What was that?" Then throw it into the bushes.

"Okay, I drank it. What's-" Then I was knockout from what ever that drink was and fell to the ground.


I started to hear birds tweeting. I finally got my eyes to open and saw the sky, it was almost sunset.

"(Yawn) Wha-what the hell happened?" I got up a bit and try to remember what happen a few minutes ago, or hours I think? Then I finally remembered, the red drink,advice from the man, getting lost in the woods. Why must the world hate me? I got my phone out to check what time is it, it's was 6:56. I guess I have to find a place to sleep at.

I've been walking for hours, I could use my speed to go father ahead but I don't want to waist it very much. Then I heard a sound, like it was a little wave. I quickly run towards it and found a lake, but when I look ahead and saw a town. Well almost, since it look like it had been...destroyed. It even look like the same town of lake town-oh I think I get it. I'm guessing the people are making the place of lake town, making the whole danger zone fake so people won't come here to see what there making. When I look up ahead, there was a mountain. Wait, not just any mountain, it was the freaking Lonely mountain! This is either they found it or build it. I noticed the sun is about to give up soon, I look around until I saw a rowboat, and it even look's like it's from medieval time.I look back and the mountain, seeing it could take hour's but, I've always dream to go in there, the workers might have left.

Hours went by, the moon was about to rise, It was 8:34. I was drawing the lonely mountain on my sketch book while the rowboat floats towards it, while I was singing a bit.

"Home is behind

The world ahead

And there are many paths to tread

Through shadow

To the edge of night

Until the stars are all right

Mist and shadow

Cloud and shade

All shall fade

All shall

Fade"

When I look up, I was already there. It was pretty long (almost since I did use my speed power since the moon is up) to reach the mountain. When I reached to the cliff, another city was destroyed. It was Dale. I was creep out, what is going on here. Why would the people want it to be destroyed instead of how nice and beautiful it was. Lake town and the city of Dale are completely destroyed.

I went ahead into the city, saw many building apart, a few or a lot of skeletons of humans and orcs I think (hope its fake) and a few faded pile of ash. I decided to think the people just wanted to scare us a bit when Smaug have come here and took the gold and when the battle of five armies have fought. The sun was gone, and the moon has shine. I could see through the dark and sometime's I don't a bit. When I got to the mountain it was very strange at first,it had a dwarf head statue and a bridge (which is almost destroyed but a few pieces of rock's made it like a bridge).

'Are they trying to do it from the third story?' I don't think I could get through the gates cause they were somehow blocked by other crumbled rocks. Then I remember the stairs at least, I went around the corner to find those stairs. Took minutes or more until I finally saw it (Going to skip how long it took to get up there). Finally at the top...there was a passage way. I remembered in the book when the dwarfs have found the door to enter the lonely mountain. Do the people really want them to climb up all the way here to the door here? Either they don't want people to go in the easy way or they are just a bit stupid.

When I got to the door there was a dark tunnel leading to somewhere. I was a bit afraid to go in there, but I have no choice. I kept walking straight through the tunnel to see if it led's to a room but no luck. I was about to give up and go back until something sparkle a bit around my eye. Didn't know what it is but I head toward's the little light. It was getting brighter and brighter every time I get closer to it. When I reached the end of the tunnel,my eye's went wide and my jaw drops to the floor.

Gold. Gold everywhere,possibly millions or billions of treasure everywhere in this room! Thousand's question's went into my head,did the people made fake gold to make it look like a treasure room, are they are planing to make a tour of this. I was hoping this was a dream, I pinch my self, felt pain. Nope,this is real alright. I stepped onto the gold and heard a few clink on the ground and few treasure coming down. Climbed on mountain of gold and started to roll to the ground, then laughed. It was pretty fun, and hurt a bit if I continued to hit one of the pillar's. Now don't get me wrong here,if Smaug wasn't here you could have this place to yourself if this awesome place was real.

I kept climbing,rolling,throwing coin's into the air,laughing,it was amazing. When I kept rolling down on a pile of gold I hit something really hard that felt like it wasn't a pillar or something? I heard the coin's starting to fall a bit,I turned around and saw a noise...huge...scale...almost like a dra-...Then with a quick act I start to run down the hill of gold (which make more noise's) then hid behind one of the pillars that are far away from it and dare myself not to scream or speak.

I start to hear a lot more coin's start to fall to the ground. This maybe the worst idea and stupid thing I might do. I took a little peek to see what was happening. When I first look I saw an eye. Huge,reddish,orange'st,terrifying eye. It starts to look around,I think for me. Then it started to move up and the gold was falling off of it when every gold is clear off of it...I saw him. I completely got very scared and afraid, I sunk my head back,breathing fast,scared to hell!

I can't believe what I'm seeing,where I am. I thought this whole thing was fake but it wasn't! This can't be real! This is all fantasy! I kept telling my self to wake up,wake up,but this is no dream. Or even a nightmare! My favorite character from the book and movie, why did I have to globing choose him!...Smaug...Is freaking real!
