Chapter 5
The man who was yelling was Radagast the Brown. He was riding a wood sled that was being pulled by rhosgobel rabbits.
"Radagast! What on earth are you doing here?" Gandalf asked.
"I was looking for you Gandalf. I have found something from the old fortress Dol Guldur. Something dark and powerful is growing stronger there." Replied Radagast. His voice went low and serious. "Ratchet the Destroyer is working with someone or something in the fortress."
"But the old fortress is abandoned." Said Gandalf. There was worry in his eyes.
"No Gandalf it's not." Radagast pulled out a sword wrapped in a tan cloth and handed to Gandalf. "That is not from the world of the living. I believe Ratchet is working with a Necromancer."
"A Necromancer?! Are you sure?" Gandalf asked. Gandalf had always known that Radagast could be a little strange, but something like this could not be handled lightly.
"I am quite sure Gandalf." Radagast and Gandalf continued to discuss about the Necromancer, Dol Guldur, the blade and Ratchet.
"Do you know who this Ratchet the Destroyer is Jaille?" Kili asked her.
"Yes, I have encountered him a few times in the past. He knows powerful dark magic. Magic that no one should use." Jaille said with no emotion in her voice. "He wants me dead for some scheme of his."
"That's the man who wants you dead? Why does he want you dead?" Kili asked. He didn't know that someone wanted Jaille dead. All he knew that Katrina wanted Jaille dead. He thought it was just some petty squabble.
"If I die Varanton will be consumed by darkness. Naturally Ratchet wants to use it."
"Why does it have to be you?"
"My blood is cursed. Well technically those who have the Pearson blood in them. I am the last of my kin. Ratchet has destroyed my entire family."
Out of nowhere there came a howl. It sounded like a wolf but it was not. It was something far worse.
"Was that a wolf?" Bilbo asked in fear.
"No that was not a wolf." Bofur answered. Then three Gundabad wargs leapt out form the trees. They looked somewhat like giant wolves, but they were bigger and much more vicious.
Dwalin killed one of the wargs, while Kili shot one. Thorin quickly stabbed the last one and said,
"Wargs, which means an Orc pack, is not far behind."
"Who did you tell about your quest besides your kin?" Gandalf questioned Thorin.
"No one." Thorin answered.
"Who did you tell?!" Gandalf roared in anger.
"No one! I swear. What in Durin's name is going on?!"
"You are being hunted."
"What are we going to do?" Asked Kili.
"We have no ponies." Called out Ori.
"I'll hold them off." Said Radagast.
"These are Gundabad wargs they will outrun you." Said Gandalf.
"These are rhosgobel rabbits. I liked to see them try."
Radagast was now on his sled being pulled by the rhosgobel rabbits. The orcs were riding on the wargs and where going after Radagast. Though one was not fooled, and she was no Orc. Her name was Melanie. She was the sister of Ratchet.
"Now Jaille don't be afraid to come out with your friends!" Melanie yelled. She had long red hair and ocean blue eyes.
"Who was that?" Thorin asked Jaille.
"Melanie." Jaille muttered. "We need to get out of here. If it is true that Ratchet is working with the Necromancer then Melanie will be to.
They all darted out from the forest into a wide plain. Radagast was still distracting the Orcs. Melanie was now heading towards the Orcs to lead them back to the Dwarves.
They were constantly running and hiding. None of them knew where they were going. Gandalf was leading them somewhere and Thorin had his guesses.
"Where are you taking us?" Thorin asked. Gandalf did not answer Thorin. He just looked at him and the turned away.
Black Speech: "Find the Dwarf scum and bring me the female alive!" Melanie said.
One of the Orcs had come by where the company was. They were all silent waiting for the perfect time to attack. Thorin motioned for Kili to shoot the Orc. The Orc fell down with its warg. Dwalin and Bifur came up and started to attack the warg and the Orc.
Black Speech: "Shh, listen." Said Melanie. The Orc started to scream in pain from Dwalin and Bifur.
Black Speech: "The Dwarf scum are over there!" yelled Yazneg. He was the leader of the Orc pack.
The Dwarves all ran out trying to get away. They were now surrounded and they had noticed that Gandalf had left them.
"Where's Gandalf?" Asked Jaille.
"He's abandoned us!" Dwalin replied.
"Kili shoot them!" Thorin ordered his nephew. It was no use. There were simply too many Orcs.
"It's useless to try and fight back Jaille!" Yelled Melanie. Kili was able to shoot some of the Orcs but more started to come.
"There's more coming!" Kili yelled to his uncle. Thorin then pulled out Ocrist. It glistened in the sunlight. There was no sword that could compare to its beauty. Fili was running towards Thorin and shouted,
"Were surrounded!"
"Over here you fools!" Gandalf called out. He was motioning for the Dwarves to follow him. H e was standing in the opening of a passageway. They all jumped in. There was then a sound of a horn and horses. An Orc got shot by someone and fell in. Thorin pulled an arrow out of the Orc. He knew exactly who killed the Orc.
"Elves." He said annoyed. They started to walk down the path. Most didn't know where Gandalf was leading them, but some had their suspicions.
"Gandalf it feels like," Bilbo started. Gandalf looked at him and waited for him to finish. "like magic."
"That's because it is." Gandalf replied. They now looked upon a valley. It was quite beautiful. There were flowers and trees everywhere. There was a waterfall that lead into a river. You could hear a soft voice humming the most beautiful tune. The valley made you all excited and you just wanted to dance, but it also made you want to sleep a long peaceful sleep. "The valley of Imlardis, or known in the common tongue," Bilbo then finished Gandalf's sentence.
"Rivendell."
