Greenwood's Queen

Eight: Rivendell

They all walked into the corridor and Billa still couldn't get over the beauty of it.

"The Valley of Imladris in the common tongue it's known by another name." Gandalf told them.

"Rivendell." Billa said with a smile.

"Here lies the last homely house east of the sea." Gandalf said.

"This was your plan all along." Thorin told Gandalf. "To seek refuge with our enemy."

"You have no enemies here Thorin Oakenshield; the only ill will to be found in this valley is that who you bring yourself." Gandalf told him.

"You think the Elves will give our quest their blessing?" Thorin said. "They will try to stop us."

"Of course they will, but we have questions that need to be answered." Gandalf told him and Billa saw that Thorin had sighed in defeat.

"If we are to be successful this will need to be handle with tact, and respect, and with no small degree of charm, which is the reason you will leave the talking to me."

They walked down the walkways and bridges and Billa couldn't help but smile, she was in a bit home. She loved it. She didn't notice the way Kili was looking around, he was nervous because he was in the house of Elves and he tried not to touch his soul-mark wondering if he would find her/him here. They looked up when an elf was coming down the stairs.

"Mithrandir." Lindir said coming down.

"Ah, Lindir." Gandalf said.

"We heard you had crossed into the Valley." Lindir told him. Weirdly enough Kili understood a little bit of that since he had Ori find some books on Sindarin language so he was not the only one. Billa was trying for Lindir not to see her.

"I must speak with Lord Elrond." Gandalf said.

"My Lord Elrond is not here." Lindir said.

"Not here?" Gandalf said. "Where is he?"

Lindir was about to reply when they heard the horn. Billa turned and saw the horses coming inside she didn't expect to be pulled by Bofur inside the circle of Dwarf's. The Elves surrounded them and some of the Elves recognized Billa immediately but they didn't say anything.

"Gandalf?" Elrond said.

"Lord Elrond." Gandalf replied. "My friend. Where have you been?"

"We've been hunting a pack of Orcs that came up from the South." Elrond replied and got down from his horse. "We slew a number near the Hidden Pass."

"Strange for Orcs, to come so close to our borders." Elrond said. "Something or someone has drawn them near."

"Aw, that may have been us." Gandalf said and Elrond turned to the Dwarves.

'Welcome Thorin son of Thrain."

"I do not believe we have met." Thorin replied.

"You have your grandfather's bearing." Elrond said. "I knew Thror when he ruled under the Mountain."

"Indeed he made no mention of you." Thorin said and Billa was offended because he was rude and Elrond was being polite. Elrond then asked them if they wanted to join him for food.

"What is he saying, does he offer us insult." Gloin said.

"No, Master Gloin he is offering us food." Billa snapped causing Elrond to turn to the voice. Elrond turned to Gandalf for an explanation, while the Dwarves converse with each other.

"I expect an explanation." Elrond told Gandalf.

"In that case lead on." Gloin said.

"Lord Elrond." Billa said getting in-front ignoring when the Dwarves were trying to pull her back.

"Yes."

"Will you be so kind to show me to the bath chambers, I do not wish to eat while not being presentable?" Billa asked in common tongue that last part.

"Of course." Elrond said. "Your room is always ready here Billa, I hope that you can explain what is going on."

"Thank you." Billa said.

"What? You aren't going alone." Thorn said.

"You guys can go eat; I'm going to get clean." Billa told him.

"I'll go with her." Ori said with a smile.

"Ori." Dori said.

"If you don't want Miss Baggins to go alone with the Elves, I can go with her." Ori replied.

"Very well." Thorin said annoyed that the Hobbit was causing trouble. Nori and Dori weren't happy but they understood.

"This way." Lindir told them. As they went away the other Dwarves followed Lord Elrond.

"Billa it's been a while." Lindir said.

"I know I was going to come visit." Billa said. "When I went back home."

Ori who was walking beside her noticed immediately the way some of the Elves reactions the way they would bow down to Billa and she was polite to them. Some were surprised.

"Here is the room." Lindir said.

"Thank-you Lindir." Billa said. Ori and she walked inside and Ori looked around, this look close to Billa's home.

"Do you want to bath as well, I have some clothes." Billa told her with a smile.

"Your soulmate, he's an elf isn't he?" Ori said.

"What?" Billa said.

"You're Soul-Mate." Ori said. "You talk to everyone here with familiarity, and they bowed down to you, your clothes are of elf make, Dori makes clothes I noticed."

"Yes." Billa told her. She didn't see the point in lying to her but she could get answers as well.

"That's why you said there wasn't a Hobbit waiting for you, he is an elf." Ori told her. "Is he here?" she was worried that they would see it.

"No, the company will meet him during our travels; that is all I can tell you." Billa said. "Now I answered your question, I have one of my own."

"What?"

"Kili's soulmate is an Elf isn't it? I noticed the markings around his neck." Billa told Ori, she had noticed many things.

"You can't tell anyone."

"Thorin wouldn't like it."

"No one would, Fili someone else and I kept it a secret."

"You do know that his mate could be here, Kili will not hide it forever, just like you need to tell your soul-mate because you will collapse." Billa told him.

"What?" Ori said surprised because she was trying not to be very noticeable.

"Ori, I felt my own and I'm married to my Soulmate." Billa said. "You are in pain I can tell, I don't want you to be like that."

Billa and Ori came back clean and both Dori and Nori were surprised to see their sister in a dress.

"Billa let me borrow it." Ori said before they asked her. Dwalin looked at Ori and she looked beautiful. They looked at each other's eyes and Ori looked back down but there was a blush there.

"Kind of you to invite us." Gandalf said. "Hardly dress for dinner."

"You never are." Elrond said, he looked at Billa and moved her to her spot which was the main table in-between him and Gandalf. As they were eating they began to show Elrond their swords. Balin was paying attention and he had noticed Billa to be sited there she had to be important, he had a feeling Billa was more important than both Gandalf said.

"This is Orcrist, the Goblin Cleaver, a famous blade forged by the High Elves of the West, my kin." Elrond said giving him the sword. "May it serve you well." He then got the word from Gandalf.

"And this is Glamdring, the foe hammer sword of the king of Gondolin…" Elrond began to say but Billa was eating so she wasn't really paying attention she knew better than to ask for hers since it was a knife for Elves.

"How did you come by this?" Elrond asked.

"We found them in a Troll Hoard by the Great East Road." Gandalf said. "Shortly we were ambushed by Orcs."

"And what were you doing in the Great East Road?" Elrond asked.

"Excuse me." Thorin said getting up from the table. Once he was gone Elrond turned to Gandalf.

"Thirteen Dwarves and Billa, what a strange company you have with you Gandalf..." Elrond said. "Billa I do need to speak with you later."

"Alright." Billa told him.

"These are the descendants of the house Durin." Gandalf explained. Billa looked up to see Bofur stand up and she had a feeling what he was going to do.

"Oh no." she said. Elrond looked at her before the singing and throwing of food began all around them. The Elves were looking around in shock.

Billa had finally gotten separated from the Dwarves; since she wasn't too important she could go anywhere.

"Billa Baggins." She turned to see Glorfindel standing there.

"Glorfindel." She said and the two embrace. "I heard word from Lindir."

"Don't begin, I know." She told him "I must talk to Elrond."

"I'll see you later." Glorfindel said with a smile. "You must come to visit us."

She was standing in one of the balconies when Elrond walked in.

"Not with our companions?" he asked.

"Sorry about that." Billa told him. "Honestly not many of them think I should be here."

"Does your husband know?"

"No, I sent him a letter just saying I was coming." Billa told him.

"You know that you can stay here and we can take you home if you so wish."

"I know." Billa told him.

Ori was walking around Rivendell and she was happy even if she felt the burn.

'You have to tell your soulmate or you will collapse.' Billa had told her that, but the thing was she didn't know. It wasn't any of her brothers she was sure of that. she knew from Gimli that Oin's mate had died, Balin's as well Thorin hadn't found his yet, Kili was fated for an Elf and Fili for a human, she knew it wasn't Bombur he had a mate and 12 children already. So it was between Bofur, Bifur and…

"What r' ya doing here lass?" she turned to see Dwalin standing there and she felt so calm.

"I'm—I'm thinking." Ori said with a soft smile nervous.

"Ori." Dwalin said and they walked toward each other. As they got closer, they began to feel calmer and happy. Dwalin raised his hand and she touched it and they felt the acceptance of the marks.

"It's you." Ori said and blushed hard.

"Yes." Dwalin said. "We can't."

"I know."

"We will wait until after we returned to Erebor." Dwalin told her but he was thankful because it was Ori. They both didn't feel the pain anymore since they had accepted the bond.

"What is your interest in this map?" Elrond asked them holding a map they had given him.

"It's mainly academic." Gandalf said. "As you know this sort of artifact sometimes contains secret text." Elrond walked away and he didn't believe in it.

"You still speak ancient dwarfish do you not." Gandalf asked. Elrond was looking at the map.

"Moon Runes." Elrond said.

"Moon Runes, of course." Gandalf said. "An easy thing to miss."

"In this case that is true; moon runes can only be read by the light of the moon of the same shape and season on day in which they were written." Elrond told them.

"Can you read them?" Thorin asked.

#

"These Runes were written on a mid-summer's eve, by the light of a crescent moon nearly 200 years ago." Elrond told them." It seems that you were meant to come to Rivendell, Fate is with you Thorin Oakenshield the same moon shines upon us tonight."

"Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks, and the setting sun lights on Durin's Day, will shine upon the key-hole."

"Durin's Day?" Billa asked.

"It's the start of the Dwarves New Year." Gandalf answered her. "When the last moon of Autumn and the first of Winter appear in the sky together."

"This is old news, Summer is passing Durin's Day will soon be upon us." Thorin said.

"We still have time." Balin told him.

"Time for what?" Billa asked.

"To find the entrance, we have to be standing exactly in the right spot, at exactly the right time, then and only then can the door be opened." Balin said.

"So this is your purpose to enter the Mountain." Elrond said.

"What of it?"

"There are some who would not deem it wise." Elrond told Thorin before Thorin got his map back.

"Who do you mean?"

"You are not the only Guardian to stand watch over Middle-Earth." Elrond told him. Billa had a feeling that the White Council will be getting involved.

Thranduil was sitting on his Throne and he was thinking about Billa. He was worried thinking if she was safe. Yes, he knew that she was with Mithrandir and could protect her. But the note made him wonder.

"Father?" he turned up to look at Legolas.

"What is the matter?" he asked.

"You know, Billa will come back home soon, Mithrandir wouldn't leave her alone."
