Remember We'll Be History
Thirteen: A Star and Stone Giants
The Blue Mountains
Dis had been surprised to get a meeting the Hobbit King, she looked at her mother who seemed to be surprised as well.
"We didn't know you were looking into changing our negotiations." The Queen Mother Tris told him.
"I have been informed by my granddaughter that it would be smart to begin new negotiations with different ideas." The Thrain said. Dis and Tris looked at each other wondering why a grandchild would be involved.
"Well looking over the new contract I can say that your granddaughter is a smart hobbit woman." Dis said. "The question is why she is not here herself?"
"She is currently busy doing some adventuring," Gerontius told them, he had a feeling that he shouldn't speak about their Quest, that Bungo had informed him about.
"Well let's drink to new ventures." The Queen Mother Tris said with a smile. It was a good omen she felt to what her son had done.

After the training, it had brought a change to some of the tougher Dwarves that Bella had to win over. She had wondered if showing that she could fight was bringing them forward. Elrond had gotten close to Thorin in the morning and told him that he would be able to read the map for him today.
"You, know this means you will be leaving soon." Glorfindel told her.
"I know, we need to get on our way it has been almost three weeks." Bella told him. She looked at him and noticed his face.
"What's the matter?" Bella asked him.
"I heard that Saruman has requested an audience of the White Council." He told her.
"Why would he want a meeting?" Bella asked, she knew from Glorfindel that he was worried. Elrond was as well but he made no mention or thought of it. Near his mother-in-law.
"I think he heard or had some inkling that the Dwarves, the ones of the Line of Durin were trying to get into Erebor." Glorfindel told her.
"If he does come that means we need to leave, they will try to stop us." Bella said.
"It would be Thorin's worst nightmare come true." Glorfindel told her and she understood the meaning. Weirdly enough these past few days the Dwarves had come to a tentative peace with the Elves of Rivendell, having the White Council meeting speaking about the quest most likely questioning Gandalf. She knew that the tentative peace would come to an end.
"I will tell Thorin to ready our packs after he speaks with Elrond." Bella said to Glorfindel.
"Let's ask Erestor to help us with the packs, I believe healing herbs would be good for both you and the Dwarves.

Later that night when Elrond had solved the riddle of the moon runes, Bella moved Thorin out of the way.
"What's the matter?" Thorin asked.
"The White Council will be convening." Bella said and Thorin looked at her.
"The White Council?" Thorin asked.
"I'm guessing that Glorfindel informed you." Elrond said making both jumped as he was standing there. "I mentioned it before, sometimes I don't have the power to make decisions and the path you choose is dangerous that will move many pieces on Middle Earth."
"Will you stop us?" Thorin asked him point blank he had no time for games of the Elves.
"I will not stop you, Glorfindel will help you on the way out as I prepared some healing packets for your healer," Elrond told them.
"Thank you." Thorin said. Evie looked as both Bella and Thorin left to get their group ready to leave.
'Galadriel knows we are helping.' Evie said.
'I would not be surprised, but I told you before Evie no matter the power I have now, I will always look after the people.' Elrond told her.
'It's an idea and ideas are bulletproof.' Evie told him and Elrond smiled, she kissed his cheek and they walked over to the Council room.

The Dwarves and Bella were preparing to leave Rivendell and she made sure she had enough weapons and she was given lembas for provisions. As she came out of her room, she walked over to where they were going to meet when she saw someone. It also gave her this small twitch in her mind.
'Will you be careful?' the voice told her. Bella looked up to see a beautiful woman in a blue dress and she knew who this was. She had only seen the woman once when she had come to get Arwen to go to Lothlorien, it was easy to remember because Aragorn had been incredibly heartbroken. She had gone into her mind which annoyed her not because she believed the woman was going to do her harm, but there was only one person in her head and that is the only voice she wanted.
'I would suggest staying out of her head.' The other voice was more comforting, and Sherlock was standing next to her.
'Protect her, for I have seen some of her paths and it will be difficult.' Lady Galadriel told Sherlock and him only. Galadriel had taken notice of this young hobbit, who out of many holds her stare with no fear. Some Old Souls could not do that. Lady Galadriel walked over to Bella and bent down which surprised her. She touched Bella's face which she sort of gave in because it was warm like her mother's touch.
'I have a gift for you.' She told Bella.
'A gift? Are you going to stop us?' she asked in her mind. Galadriel smiled at her before pulling something from her dress, it looked like a vial, in a necklace form.
'For you Belladonna Baggins, I give you the Light of Earendil our most beloved star. May it be a light to you in dark places when all other lights go out.' She told her giving her a kiss in the Forehead. Bella stood there frozen in the spot holding the vial in her hand.
"Belladonna!" she looked up to see Thorin standing there.
"Are you ready?" Bella asked.
"Yes, are you well?" he asked.
"Yes, we should get going." Bella said putting the vial in her clothes to put it more secure later.

The dwarves looked behind them as Rivendell as it disappeared behind them. Elsewhere the White Council had finally gotten together and they were talking about the Quest. Gandalf had just been berated by Saruman about the plans, not knowing the other two had already helped.
"I am simply doing what I believe is right." Gandalf said.
'The Dragon has long been on your mind.' Galadriel said.
'It is true my lady.' Gandalf told her. "Smaug holds allegiance to no one, but if he to side with the enemy a dragon could be used to terrible effect."
"What enemy, Gandalf the enemy is defeated?" the council went on until Gandalf produced a Morgul blade and the other three were looking at each other. Gandalf brought up that there was something stronger and it was something that Both Galadriel and Elrond had seen themselves. A changed that thanks to a hobbit it was changing not giving them clear paths changing them.
"What matters is this quest of the Dwarves, if it was up to me, I would despair them from such a quest, I don't understand your reasoning for raising their hopes."
'They are gone.' Galadriel said and Gandalf looked at her. 'You knew.'
'Yes.' Gandalf said.

The Dwarves had gone in the road knowing that Gandalf would be catching up to them. Thorin and Balin was currently leading them. Bella had been put in the middle of the group with Ori. It was currently raining which was not helping at all for them as it was making the terrains more dangerous.
"We need to find a place to rest." Balin said.
"Shelter, we must find it." Thorin yelled out.
"Thunder!" Dwalin screamed and they saw a giant rock come toward them, which cause them to bend down.
"This is no thunderstorm; this is a thunder battle!" Balin screamed and pointed toward the Giants waking up and suddenly split.
"Kili! Ori! Bella!' they heard the screams as they were taken away in what seems a leg of one of the giants. They had to move fast and be careful as the battle continues to happen around them. The giant moved back toward one of the mountains and they all ran over to the other edge as their group continues to be in the leg. As the other giant lost the leg smashed into the mountain causing them to scream.
"No!"
They ran toward the cause and saw their companions on the ground. There was someone missing as Bofur was looking around.
"Bella, where's Bella?" he asked.
"Bella!" Ori screamed as she saw that Bella was grabbing on for her life. Bella tried not to scream because she was reliving one of her fears.
'Sher—' she didn't get to finish as someone grabbed her and she looked up to see Thorin grabbed her.
"I thought we almost lost our burglar." Dwalin said. Thorin and Bella looked at each other and he saw that she was shaking.
"We need to find shelter." Thorin said letting Bella go but part of him knew that he didn't want to do that. They went inside one of the caves and Bella sat down near Bofur and she breathed in and out.
'Calm down Joan, your fine.' Sherlock told her. He sat beside her and knew the reason she had that fear. Sherlock was looking around and looked around the cave. Thorin from the other side was trying not to pay attention to Bella or the mumblings that he heard. Bofur who was looking at Bella tried to make her feel better.
"I know this was dangerous." Bofur told her.
"You don't understand." Bella told him standing up because she needed some air.
"Don't leave." Bofur told her.
"Bofur, no." Bella said.
"What is that?" he asked her. Bella looked at what he was pointing at. Bella looked at her sword and understood.
"Wake up!" Thorin snapped and at that moment the floor went under their feet.
