Alright folks, here you go- another chapter. The pace will pick up in the upcoming chapters... when I get around to writing them on paper...

Enjoy!


Is he bleeding anywhere?

...no...

Not that I can see. I am so afraid to move him! If he fell down that cliff, as I suspect he did, there could be injuries hidden from my eyes. He needs someone learned in medicine to see to him.

Someone like Oin.

Who is back at camp.

No! I can not leave my brother's side! But what is the alternative?

I can not move him. I could hurt him more.

Broken bones. Yes, I can fix them. He has a few, I think.

Ah! think Fili, think!

But how can I think when my brother could be dying right before my eyes?

His breathing does not sound right. I should definitely not be that raspy.

I think.

For someone as easily distracted as my little brother he was always the better one with the lessons on extensive medicine and healing. Go figure.

"Kili?"

Why do I expect him to reply?

"K... Kili?"
