Remember We'll Be History
Nineteen: Wonderings & The Greenwood Pt.2
Beorns
It was finally time for the Company to leave, Beorn was helping them to get some of their packs ready.
"Little Old Bunny, if you are to come back through my lands you are very welcomed," Beorn told her. Bella laughed and hugged the large man. Thorin tried not to glare because the only reason Bella would be returning to her home would be because he did something wrong.
"I will see and come visit," Bella said with a smile. Beorn helped her get on-top of the horse and smile.
"Prove me wrong King Under the Mountain, that you will not fall like those before you," Beorn told Thorin, who nodded his way.
"We should get going," Balin said. As they left Sherlock was noticing that Gandalf seemed serious as his mind was somewhere else.
'Is something the matter?' Sherlock asked.
'I don't know,' Gandalf said.
As they got closer and closer to the forest, Gandalf seemed more and more stressed, as he was seeing the information Galadriel was sending him.

The dwarves got to the entrance of the Greenwood, when Gandalf uncovered on of the statues and saw the eye.
"Stop my horse!"
"Where are you going?" Thorin asked.
"I have to check on something, do not get off the path," Gandalf said. "Meet me at the entrance of the mountain,"
"Will you get back on time?" Bella asked. Gandalf looked at the couple.
"I will get here," Gandalf said to her. "Be careful."
"I will." Bella said, Thorin grabbed her hand and Gandalf smiled and hoped with all his heart that Thorin wouldn't fall prey to the Gold-Sickness.
'You are worried about the quest?' Sherlock told him.
'You are not the only Old Soul in these parts, pray that she helps you.' Gandalf told him.
'We hope so.' Sherlock told him.
The Dwarves saw as Gandalf left them and they all turned to Thorin. Bella was looking as the silhouette of Gandalf was gone.
"It's time to go in," Thorin told Bella holding her hand.
"Okay," Bella said, Sherlock moved inside the forest and he got serious.

The moment that Sherlock took a step in the forest someone noticed, and they were surprise. As they had not gotten this feeling in a while and there was another Old Soul in the area but this one was new.
'Kate is something the matter?' Thranduil asked.
'I am not certain, but I'm going out to explore,' Kate told him. Thranduil smiled at her.
'Explore, are the spiders being trouble?' He asked her, he knew that he acted as if he didn't care about his land, but he was getting more and more protective he knew things were coming out.
'We are not sending one of our kids out there.' Kate told him.
'I know you don't want to, but our children are tough and only one is willing to go out there,' Thranduil told her. 'Now, what did you feel?"
'Damn it, Garrett.' She told him.
'You thought I would forget?' Thranduil said with a smile.
'I felt someone like me,' Kate told him.
'It wasn't the Bargeman?'
'No, this one is different it feels like travelled.' Kate told him.
'Hmm…the last one that was like that was Elrond, but he didn't mention coming to visit.' Thranduil said.
'You pissed him off last time.' Kate told him.
'Oh, he knows I don't mean it.' Thranduil said, the fact that he was a revolutionary in his old life tended to make it easy for him to annoy people. Specially Kings which is the reason that he hadn't that great of a relationship with the old King Under the Mountain more when he became gold mad.

Being inside this forest it was the darkest that Bella had ever felt.
"This reminds me of the Hound," Bella told Thorin.
"I'm guessing that is another story?" Thorin asked her. He was walking with her as they wanted to be sure that they didn't get lost. Bella kept in mind that Gandalf said not to lose the road, so she remembered her stories and began to drop some seeds on the ground.
"Yeah." Bella told him. As they walked together Bella began to tell him the story of the hound and knew that Thorin was listening to her. It was bonding both, as thy were telling each other stories to calm the fears of being in this sick forest.
"It began with a story…"

Shire: Tookborough
Tris and Dis were making a visit which was more of not exactly political for them it was more of a fact gathering. They knew that the One of Thorin was a Hobbit and that she was related to the Thain. They had heard stories from the Dwarves that had come over to the Shire to marry, but they needed to get more information and when the meeting came up it was the best they could do. They left Lilis wife of Balin in-charge with Kanli wife of Gloin as well to keep charge to make sure nothing went off its rocker.
"I have to admit that I am surprise that you came over," Old Took told them. He really wasn't he had heard rumors and Lety was good at Fact gathering, he had another grandchild married to a Dwarf and a son as well, all the Took's knew that Belladonna was on the tongues of Dwarves due to Lobelia opening her mouth that she was being courted by one. It didn't take long to figure out which Dwarf it was and interest had just gotten more interesting and the bad tongues as well.
"We believe that in the case of the new treaty we should be present with my son doing his duty to the crown,' Tris told him.
"Ah, I would think it was my Granddaughter Belladonna getting your curiosity pike," Old Took said. "I mean her Father came to visit me as well so it would be interesting,"
"Like always we must speak plainly with you." Tris said with a smile. It always surprised them that the Old Took was always blunt.
"I like everything straight forward, now I will bring Bungo over so that you can meet properly,"
Dis and Tris looked at each other as the Old Took left the room and they were wondering about the Father of the woman in Thorin's heart. The first thing they heard was a cane hitting the ground, but it was incredibly soft.
"Bungo, come meet these two respectable Lady's they will be of great importance to you,"
"I'm going, we are not all sprite in our old age." Bungo said. The two male Hobbits came inside, and they noticed him, he was holding a cane made of silver they could tell with Elf markings on it.
"Bungo, I would like to present you to Dowager Queen Tris daughter of Pernin and her daughter Princess Dis daughter of Tris they are the mother and sister of Thorin,"
"Queen Tris and Princess Dis it's a pleasure to meet you I am Bungo Baggins and my daughter is Belladonna," Bungo said with a smile.
"You may call us Tris and Dis, from what I hear we might become family," Tris said with a smile Bungo smile.
"Yes, I suppose that you are right," Bungo said. "If my dear would see now she would be delighted,"
The three of them got to speak and it was interesting to learn about each other, Dis could see her Mother in a long time smiling. The most surprising was find out that Belladonna was an Old Soul, part of them were shock and surprise as well as happy. They knew the story of Durin and how his wife had been an Old Soul, so they were seeing it as a blessing.

Mirkwood
Sherlock and Kate meet at night, surprising both.
"It's you." Kate said.
'You're the Old Soul I've felt since the Carrock." It was not a question but a statement it reminded her a lot of Edward to blunt for his own good. He was very imposing, and she noticed that he seemed to be looking through and around her.
"The King is the Old Soul, interesting," Sherlock told her.
"How do you know that?' Kate asked, she had not met an Old Soul that was a mind reader at all, the only one she knew was Galadriel and she wasn't n Old Soul.
"I do not read minds, I observe," Sherlock said. "I can tell that the King is worried about his forest, the reason he didn't even want you out, you show signs of having had an argument about coming out here. He is worried that whatever is happening might actually hurt you as well,"
"He worries that he might lose me," Kate told him. "Now, what are you doing here without your other soul?"
"You're not dumb, you know I didn't come in alone," Sherlock said.
"I saw Dwarves, I take it your partner is with them," Kate told him. "Thran will not let them pass the Kingdom."
"You know that the Dwarves will not stop," Sherlock said. Kate looked at him and groan because she knew what he was asking. She raised her hand and Sherlock had to take off his glove. It was something that Old Souls did to get to know each other, it shows memories and Kate could see everything including Sherlock could see her side. She knew what she had to do.
"He is not going to be happy," Kate said to Sherlock with a laugh.
"Well it seems that he always wanted a challenge,"
"What better than the Line of Durin to cause trouble?" Kate said with a smile. Sherlock and Kate began to make plans because she had informed him that they were getting closer and closer to the giant spider nest.
