Falling hard into a cavern knocking the breath out their lungs getting to their feet looking up Thorin wondered how far they had fallen, looking down the hidden pathway a unfamiliar sound of what sounded like horde creatures. Coming into view a horde of Goblins came and without anytime to react they were trapped and forced to go with, as the company was taken Thorin noticed Bilbo had been excluded from them huddled on the ground.
"Where are they taking us!?" Hermione shouted in fear
"I don't know!"
They were then ushered into the massive dwelling of the Goblin Kingdom made with wooden structures and bridges that seemed somewhat stable for them to walk on, many of the creatures scurried following them bringing them to the center with what looked like the Goblin King himself a massive creature that had a growth under his neck acting as a beard.
"Look what we have ere!!" He shouted rising from his throne
"Who are these things!? Assassins!? Thieves!?" He questioned
"Dwarves your excellence" his servant answered
"Dwarves!? Far away from home aren't you!?"
He then scanned them bringing his gaze on Thorin grinning as he did.
"Well look who we have ere! Thorin Oakenshield!! The King Under The Mountain!!" He announced mockingly bowing
"But you don't have a mountain anymore don't you" he taunted causing Thorin to glare
"I know a pale Orc that would pay a pretty price for your head" he whispered to him
"You are mistaken he died along with his wounds long ago" he growled
The Goblin King just nodded and turned to a small Goblin on a zip line.
"Send a letter, tell the pale orc I have his prize" he chuckled as did the small creature leaving to send the message
That was when began to relieve them of their weapons throwing them in front of the king one by one as they began to chant a song with the king directing it with his voice. Until one of the goblins unsheathed Thorin's sword causing him to screech throwing it.
"The Goblin Clever!! The sword that has cut a thousand heads!! Kill them!! Beat them!!" The king commanded
His minions did as ordered using sticks, bones and their bare hands striking them one hit after another, until a bright light pushed the Goblins back onto their back and off the company. Showing himself was Gandalf with Glamdring in hand and staff held tight in the other.
"Gather your arms!!" He ordered as they all took up their blades
"It's Glamdring!! shine of day!!" The Goblin King shouted looking at the blade in fright
The Dwarves plus Gandalf and Hermione began to fight slashing one Goblin after another escaping on the ramparts running they would attack any that they came across. It was then when Fili fell down that the horde almost devoured him until Hermione used her wand to throw them off being suprised they ignored it until they were out of death's grasp.
"This way!!" Gandalf shouted running across a bridge
The goblins cut the support ropes causing it to swing back and forth, as they swung a few of the company jumped off onto the ledge swinging back a few goblins jumped on they fended them off as soon as they gone they jumped off onto the same ledge cutting the swinging bridge. Continuing on they made it half way to where the roads headed to the surface, but with a loud thud the Goblin King blocked their path.
"Argh!!" He shouted striking at Gandalf with his cane in which he parried
"Gandalf the grey! You think you can defeat me!!?"
He then swung his cane trying to hit the wizard dodging he landed a hit to the King's eye blinding him.
"Think that's enough!?"
He slashed the goblin's leg and stomach causing him to go down to his knees.
"That'll work" he said in defeat before Gandalf slashed his throat
Collapsing the bridge gave out bringing down everyone with him falling down they landed at the bottom with the broken bridge onto the company besides Hermione and Gandalf.
"Is everyone alright!?" Gandalf asked
"Never better!!" Dwalin shouted
Until the Goblin King's corpse landed on the bridge crushing them even further, all groaning after he landed as well digging themselves out the horde followed them as they rised.
"Gandalf we can't take them all!!" Dwalin shouted
"Then let's hurry!!" He commanded
The company recovered and began to run down the pathway along with the horde following hot on their trail as well the narrow form of the pathway made it difficult to run in. Going farther down the passage would widen then close again bottlenecking the horde at certain intervals giving them some time.
"Hurry!"
Hermione using her sent a shock at the ceiling making collapse blocking the path coming put of the passage they found themselves in a forest with tall trees and boulders scattered about. As the company caught their breath the looked back seeing not one had came out of the secret passage, Gandalf began to count them all but saw they were one short.
"Where is Bilbo?" He asked
All looked around silently wondering where their short companion had went.
"Here I am!" He announced catching his breath
"When and how did you get here?" Thorin asked
"Well uh..." he began fidgeting with his pocket which Gandalf saw keeping it to himself
"Well nevermind that it's good to see you alive and well"
"And what about Hermione using magic?" Thorin asked the two
She looked hesitant as did Gandalf who sighed looking at the Dwarf.
"Miss Granger here is a Witch" he answered
"A witch?"
"Yes, but she doesn't dabble in black magic I have taken her under my wing" he answered again
Wanting to ask more questions he was stopped by a the sound of a Gundabad pack nearing them.
"Run" Gandalf ordered
Rushing away from the screeching and inevitably a few Gundabads chasing ahead of the pack, they had rushed up the largest that unfortunately on a cliff going up as far as they could they stared down at the beasts with anger. That was the rest of the pack showed up watching the company struggle to stay away.
"Do you smell that?" A familiar voice to Thorin asked
Coming in front of the pack the pale orc Azrog the defiler on his pure white Warg mount moved to the front seeing his old foe in a tree.
"It's the smell of fear" he said in his native tongue
Thorin stared down the orc with so much hate and anger that he broke the bark on the tree he held on. Gandalf looking around frantically for away to defend themselves took a few large pinecones lighting them on fire and handing them to the others, throwing them hitting or at least pushing the Gundabads and their Wargs back while lighting the forest aflame. It was then the ground began to gave as the tree began to fall hanging off the cliff as everyone screamed in fear Thorin rose and charged the pack with his blade drawn. He struck a few of the beasts killing or wounding them it was hard fending against them as he was only one dwarf. Gandalf having a feeling it was end spotted a moth gently taking it on his staff he whispered to it then letting it free.
Thorin had became overwhelmed by the force of the Gundabad's Wargs knocking him back towards the ledge as soon as it was to finish him, Hermione shot out a spell with Bilbo close behind with his sword drawn slashing to keep them away.
"You resist?" The Orc asked in his language
"Then you will die"
When a Warg lunged at the two A giant eagle swooped in killing the beast with it's talons, then just as it appeared a flock showed flying towards them gabbing one dwarf after another Gandalf jumped off the hanging tree onto one of the birds. Two came towards the three last ones on gripping Thorin in it's talons as rose on the back and Bilbo got on the second.
Flying away from the Orc pack Azrog roared in anger as he saw them fly getting further and further away. As they flew the wind wiped through their hair Hermione looked down at the now scared Thorin whose eye's remained closed and his form still. As they got further away they landed on a spot on an old hill. As everyone checked for wounds Thorin woke up rushing towards Hermione and Bilbo.
"When we took you two on I thought you would be a burden!!" He shouted stumbling as he walked still fatigued the looked the two gave was one of disappointment
"I'm so glad I was wrong!!" He shouted hugging Bilbo then Hermione who returned the gesture
Gandalf looked on with a smile then to the horizon where it grew even greater as he saw it.
"Look their!!" He shouted
They all looked and saw it the Lonely Mountain standing off in the distance.
"And look the birds are returning" Kili said spotting the animal flying away towards the mountain
"May it be a sign of good things to come" Thorin said looking with a smile holding Hermione's hand tight as they were in the moment
