The next morning Solaris was woken ruefully from her sleep. She jumped when she opened her eyes to se Kili looking over her.

"Come on, we're leaving" he said.

A smiled crept onto her face as she leapt from bed.

"Mr. Baggins I suggest you keep up" Thorin said.

Balin was leading them on a small path around the mountain.

"How is your wound" Kili asked Solaris.

"It's healed" she replied.

"You bled all over me; I had to throw my shirt away"

"I'm sorry, but it was a nasty shirt so maybe it was for the best" she said and Kili winked at her.


They walked for days and crossed a wide variety of terrain including mountains, hills, grassland and rock faces. But one particular night the weather did not favour them. They were on a precarious track along the side of a ravine with the rain hitting them hard in the faces.

"Hold on!" Thorin shouted as a big gust of wind came.

Bilbo slipped and was grabbed by Gloin and Bofur.

"We must find shelter" Thorin said.

Concentrating hard Solaris moved around each of the Dwarves and made her way to Thorin's side.

"I'll go ahead and scout for shelter" she shouted over the thunder "I can get by on these rocks far quicker"

Thorin nodded.

"Look out!" Gloin suddenly shouted.

Thorin grabbed a-hold of Solaris and gripped her tightly as a rock hit the mountain they were on and shook. As rocks came tumbling down above them Thorin turned Solaris around so that she was nearest the rock-face.

"This is no thunderstorm" Balin shouted "It's a thunder battle, look!"

Across the other side of the ravine a giant made of rock picked up a huge lump of stone and tossed it through the air and into another giant. As it hit the earth under their feet shook.

"You are not going to scout" Thorin told Solaris "You will stay where I can see you"

"Well bless me, the legends are true. Giants, stone giants" Bofur shouted.

Another rock was thrown and Thorin kept Solaris pushed against the wall. "Take cover you fool" he shouted back to Bofur who stepped out to see the giants better.

The ground shook again from under their feet and Solaris jerked to the side and saw that the rocks had split.

"Fili!" Kili shouted as his brother got stuck on the other side of the rock.

"Stay back" Solaris said pulling the dwarf back to the rock-face.

"Keep hold of him" Thorin called to her.

They looked up as the rock they were standing on stood up and began to move. The stone giant was hit by another and sent crashing into yet another rock.

"Move!" Thorin shouted running to the next piece of stable rock. They all bundled across; the whole time Solaris made sure she had hold of Kili's clothes.

In their fight the two giants that the company were parted on stepped close together. "JUMP!" Thorin shouted.

The rock moved and was pushed over by another giant. Thorin's half of the group watched as Fili's half of the group disappeared in-between the cliff face and the ledge they were standing on.

"NO!" Solaris shouted. Kili tried to run forward but Solaris wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tight to her. When the rock moved away there were no dwarves or a hobbit to be seen.

"NO!" Thorin and Kili shouted in unison. Kili tore himself away from Solaris and ran around the corner.

"No Kili!" Thorin yelled after him. But they breathed a sigh of relive when they saw the dwarves in a big pile.

"Where's Bilbo, where's the hobbit" Bofur shouted.

Solaris looked around and was quick enough to see Bilbo dangling from the side of the cliff.

"Ahh" she exclaimed as she skidded onto her side and grabbed the hobbit's hands just as he slipped.

"Help!" she yelled.

Thorin leapt down and grabbed the back of Bilbo's trousers and hoisted him up and over Solaris's head. He then himself slipped and as she was dangling there Solaris grabbed a hold of his flailing arms.

"Thorin" she gasped.

He shouted something in Dwarfish and looked up at her. His blue eyes were full of panic.

"Don't let go" she shouted. "Help me!"

She felt hands grab onto her clothes and pull her backwards. When he was high enough Dwalin grabbed a hold of Thorin and helped to pull him back up. They all landed in a heap, Solaris was flattened as Thorin collapsed on top of her.

"Are you okay?" she asked panting.

"Yes" he said rolling to the side.

"I thought we'd lost our burglar" Dwalin said.

"He's been lost ever since he left home, he should never have come. He has no place amongst us" Thorin said glancing at the hobbit. Solaris shook her head.

"That was very unnecessary" she said angrily as she walked past Thorin to look where they had landed. Thorin watched her go, "Dwalin" he said motioning for the dwarf to follow him. They found a cave and once it had been searched Gloin set to making a fire.

"Right then, lets get a fire started" he said.

"No, no fires. Not in this place" Thorin said. "Get some sleep, we start at first light"

Solaris was sat with Fili and Kili bandaging their hands that had been ripped by the rock. Thorin watched her for a few seconds and then walked over.

"I am sorry if I have angered you" he said leaning on his axe.

"What you said to Bilbo was very hurtful, I hope that you have apologised" she said concentrating on Kili's hand.

"What I said was the truth, I will not apologise for the truth" Thorin said.

"Then I am afraid that I do not wish to talk with you right now" she said tying a knot in the bandage a little too tightly and Kili hissed. "Sorry" she said loosening it. She then took his other hand and poured water on it to clear the little shards of stone.

"Perhaps you should leave us to rest" Fili said to his uncle. His hands were already bandaged and he was sitting back against the wall with a pipe. Thorin looked from him to Kili and then to Solaris who refused to take notice.

"Very well" he said and left them.

"He did not mean to offend you Solaris" Kili said.

"His attitude is what offends me" she said looking away from him.

"Let me see your hands" he said taking her hands in his. "Fili, water" he said setting to fixing her hands as she had theirs.


Once Kili had bandaged her hands Solaris sat back against the rock next to Fili. He had just finished braiding some of his hair back into place.

"I have always loved how dwarves braid their hair" she said.

"Don't elves braid their hair?" Fili asked.

"Yes but its very fiddly and I never had the patience" she said.

"Here let me" Fili said.

Solaris moved so that she was sitting in-front him. Fili set to work carefully taking strands of her hair in-between his fingers and twisting them into place. When he was done her fringe was pulled backwards so that her whole face was visible whereas before she had been able to hide behind her hair.

"Does it look alright?" she asked.

"You look beautiful my lady" Fili said smiling widely at her.

"Braiding was always one Fili's skills, same as sewing and milking the cows" Kili said sarcastically.

"What were your skills Kili?" Solaris asked raising her eyebrows.

Fili laughed as his brother said nothing. "Stop ganging up on me" Kili said and turned his back to them.

"Go to sleep now" Thorin called over.

"Yes Uncle" Fili said giving Solaris a wink and resting back against the rock.


Once everyone was settled down the talking stopped everyone tried to sleep. After a while of tossing and turning Bofur sat up.

"I can't sleep" he said and one by one the others sat up.

"Maybe some ale would help" Bombur said.

"We have no ale" Ori said "It was dropped when the mountains moved"

"Then how are we going to get to sleep?" Nori asked.

"Rest back down" Solaris said from her perch at the back of the cave. She watched as the dwarf's slowly one by one rested back on the ground. They all looked at each other suspiciously.

"Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine, make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine, heal what has been hurt, change the fates design, save what has been lost, bring back what once was mine, bring back what once was mine" she walked around the cave as she sang softly, her fingers brushed either a shoulder or a boot or head as she went. Slowly as she made her way around one by one the dwarves fell asleep. She got to Thorin who was sat at the back of the cave with his head leant against the wall.

"Will you not enchant me" he said.

Ignoring him Solaris walked forwards and put a hand on the side of his face. "Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine, make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine, heal what has been hurt, change the fates design, save what has been lost, bring back what once was mine, bring back what once was mine" his face was steely but then slowly relaxed. His head then relaxed in her hand and she gently rested him against the wall. Sighing heavily she went back to her perch at the back of the cave and continued to sharpen her arrows.


Solaris watched as Bilbo got up and got ready to leave.

"Where do you think your going Master Baggins?" she asked.

He sighed "Back to Rivendell"

"Look I understand…"

"No you don't" he interrupted her "I don't belong here, you heard what Thorin said. They've accepted you Laris, but they haven't accepted me. I should never have run out my door"

"I there anything I can say to stop you?" Solaris asked sighing and he shook his head "I wish you well Bilbo"

Bilbo nodded and turned "What's that?" Solaris asked spotting something blue under his coat.

"Huh?" he asked turning and looking down at the blade. Solaris's eyes went wide.

"Goblins" she said "Everyone wake up!"

As quickly as her voice had put everyone to sleep it woke them up again. A crack appeared along the floor and suddenly the floor disappeared. They all screamed and fell down a long slope and landed on a wooden platform. Everything was then a struggle as they were seized by goblins that came running out the dark. Solaris managed to stick a few arrows in some of them but her arms were grabbed and pulled behind her back. She was then pushed along behind the others.
