Rise
Selene stood quite sombrely dressed in simple elven tunic and leggings, her hair didn't even contain braids. Kili and Fili had given her worried looks when she had apologised to Dori that morning by giving an old dwarven recipe cake that she had found in the library and had convinced Bombur and Bilbo to help her make. Dori accepted gracefully and apologised for calling her a witch, her response was only a nod.
Lord Elrond watched Selene from afar he was quite fond of the Dwelf.
"Do you know what ails her?" Gandalf asked
"Her mind is clouded; her heart yearns for the love denied to her some twenty years ago." Elrond replied
"Is there anything that we can do to help?"
Elrond shook his head sadly "This is a battle Selene must fight for herself, no one else can."
Selene sat humming to herself, Ori took the courage to sit near her.
"What is that song, I've never heard it before?"
Selene jumped, Ori stuttered an apology
"I was in my own world; Ori it isn't a problem. My mother taught me it and told me to sing it when I didn't feel strong."
"Well, I am quite terrified will you sing it for me."
Selene smiled gently and nodded
"I won't just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can't write my story
I'm beyond the archetype
I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
'Cause my roots—they run deep, oh
Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I'll fight it, I'll fight it
I will transform
When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, "You're out of time, "
But still I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in
Think again
Don't be surprised
I will still rise
I must stay conscious
Through the madness and chaos
So I call on my angels
They say
Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed
'Cause when, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, "You're out of time, "
But still I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in
Think again
Don't be surprised
I will still rise
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You know it, you know it
Still rise
Just fight it, just fight it
Don't be surprised
I will still rise."
Selene smiled sadly and sighed
"I miss her." She admitted quietly, Ori took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze
"I miss mine too." Selene's eyes softened then gave Ori a quick hug and kissed his forehead. Ori's blush was quite adorable, she chuckled softly.
Later that night, Selene had her bag repacked with essentials such as food, water, weapons, medical supplies and clothes. Selene followed the company as the escaped from Rivendell, when they were stopped by Lindir, Selene crept behind him as he was distracted by the others, she quickly disarmed him and knocked him out using the pummel of her sword. She looked at the company who stood staring at her.
"We were escaping?" she asked rhetorically before walking off as the others followed. Thorin smiled fondly and even Dwalin's lips twitched at the corners.
I know its a bit crap but I'm not feeling it right now, I've started Uni, ended a relationship and worked so yeah I didn't have time and I packed my laptop hopefully I can update more but no promises
