Bilbo had helped the Dwarfs escape the cells of Thranduil, they were followed by two elves and several Orcs. Kili was shot by an Orc poisoned arrow, Fili, Oin and Bofur stayed with him in Lake Town, Tauriel who had found a kindred spirit in Kili worked hard to save his life from the poison. Legolas protected her, but by the end of the following day Legolas was summoned back to Mirkwood by his father. He left Lake Town immediately with the Elven guards that had come to find him.
Legolas was led to his father's garden where he found his father sitting at a table spread with food fit for a feast, he smiled as he drew near his father. "Father, I was trying to bring the dwarfs back when your guards found me. What is your wish?" Legolas stated as he bowed to his King father.
"I have asked you to return, because my guest may bring you joy." Thranduil smiled and waved his hand to the bench near the pond. Legolas followed his father's gaze to the lovely woman sitting watching frogs playing in the pond. His smile faltered only for a second when he recognized the beautiful woman. He walked to her and bowed.
"My Lady, I feared you were lost." Legolas stated and smiled at Adara. She turned and smiled back at him. His heart beat faster as she met his gaze. He could not stop himself and quickly sat beside her taking her hand in his. He kissed her knuckles and gazed into her stormy eyes.
"I am sorry you were pulled away from your quest because of me." She stated and smiled at him sweetly.
"There is no place I would rather be, then by your side, sh'mai." Legolas stated. (Beloved of my soul)
"The dwarfs you were following are my friends, I am hoping they are well." Adara stated.
"Yes, all but one. A dark haired young dwarf, fell to the poison of an Orc arrow, Tauriel is working to save his life. I fear, the poison may have been in his blood to long though." Legolas stated kindly.
"Oh, poor Kili, can you take me to him, I might be able to help him." Adara stated with anguish.
"I will try, give me leave to request this from my father." Legolas stated and rose to return to his father.
"Father, Lady Adara wishes for me to take her to her dwarf friends to see if she may help the fallen one?" Legolas asked.
"She is my guest, she is free to go where ever and whenever she chooses. You may go as her escort. Keep her safe, she is special." Thranduil stated as he smiled at the lovely woman.
"Yes father, very special in deed. I will keep her safe. We will return soon." Legolas stated and went back to Adara, she stood and they left immediately. They rode on fine white horses at speed and arrived in Lake Town by the following morning. They found Kili lying on a table in a man named Bard's home. He was ghostly pale and clammy to the touch. Tauriel turned and smiled at the newcomers.
"I have tried all that I know, still he weakens." Tauriel stated sadly. Legolas watched as Tauriel touched her hand to the dwarf's forehead, she seemed to have found love in the oddest form. He smiled and looked at Adara, who was talking to a blonde dwarf. His heart squeezed as the blonde dwarf caressed her arm.
"Lady Adara, may I speak with you?" Legolas asked.
"Yes of course, Your Highness." She smiled and walked to him.
"Do you have feelings for this dwarf?" Legolas moved his head in the direction of the blonde dwarf.
"Yes, he and I have feelings for one another. I did not know who you were, or when I would see you again. I am sorry." Adara stated.
"No, it is alright, but if you ever have a change of heart or need me, I will always be here for you." Legolas stated and smiled sadly at her.
"You are a true friend, Prince Legolas. I will always cherish you." She stated and touched his shoulder.
"I will stay with you and help in any means necessary. Know that my wish is to be with you one day." Legolas vowed to her.
"I understand." Adara nodded and smiled, then went to Tauriel, they discussed what had been done and what might still need to be done to heal Kili. As they stood thinking, Adara thought about what Galadriel had told her, that she had many powers, many she had not even experienced yet. Adara walked back to Kili and took up a sharp knife, she slit her palm, holding her hand toward the ceiling in a cupped position until a small pool of her blood formed. She then poured the blood all over Kili's wound and rubbed it gently in, not missing any. She then washed her hands and bandaged his wound, afterwards she placed her hands upon him, one on his forehead the other on his heart and began to chant a healing spell that she remembered.
"Is dorcha an nádúr do chréachta, is féidir leis an biotáillí agus ceol tíre cothrom cneasaigh tú, agus tú a chosaint Féidir leat a bheith bheannaigh ag na sióga agus cónaí chun troid lá eile." Adara voice was a melodious sound, all were drawn to the beauty of it. As she repeated the words several times, Kili seemed to grow in strength and his complexion lost its pale tone. After several more minutes he opened his eyes and gazed about the room. Fili came forward and Adara moved away. Legolas took her wounded hand and was amazed to see it completely healed, not even a scratch remained. (Dark is the nature of your wound, may the spirits and fair folk heal you and protect you. May you be blessed by the fairies and live to fight another day.)
"What is the language you spoke?" Legolas asked softly.
"Gaelic, from a place in Upper Earth known as Ireland." Adara explained. As Legolas and Tauriel left for Mirkwood, Adara and the dwarfs headed in a boat for the Lonely Mountain as they neared the mountain they saw the shadow of the dragon Smaug fly back towards Lake Town, Bard who had been taken prisoner by the Master of Lake Town escaped and killed Smaug, after the dragon had destroyed most of Lake Town.
The master of Lake Town fled carrying the town's gold. As he rounded a corner to head out of town the body of Smaug fell upon him and crushed him. Bard is called a hero and the new leader of the people, he tells the people that they will dwell in Dale and rebuild it to its past splendor.
The dwarfs and Adara neared the bank and climbed to the Lonely Mountain to reunite with the rest of the company. As they neared the doors, Adara felt a sense of foreboding, the doors to Erebor opened and they all entered. When they found Balin, he told them that Thorin had gone mad. He would not come out of the vault and kept talking to himself of not letting anyone find it. Balin secretly told Bilbo to keep the Arkenstone hidden from Thorin. Not trusting Thorin because of his madness. As the Orc armies drew nearer to Erebor, Legolas and Tauriel raced to the Lonely Mountain to warn them of the two armies of Orcs and Goblins before it was too late.
Thorin refused to let anyone out or in Erebor, Balin tried to reason with him, but all seemed lost as the gold fever took a stronger hold over the Dwarf King. Before he went back in to the gold horde, Thorin found a mithril shirt and gave it to Bilbo, who put it on and looked very saddened when Thorin returned to the gold. A messenger from Thranduil came and said he would help, but he would very much like a necklace of white stones from within the gold horde. Thorin raved that not a single coin would be taken from the gold horde.
Thranduil is told Thorin's decision and Thranduil weny to Bard who bid his help. Balin saw the Dwarf King would surely follow in his grandfather's footsteps told Bilbo to take the Arkenstone and give it to Thranduil and Bard to help in the fight against the Orcs and Goblins and their giant bats. Bilbo does as he is told and when he returned to the Lonely Mountain, Thorin tried to kill him, but is stopped by Gandalf.
Thorin finally came to his senses and went with Fili, Dwalin, Kili, and Adara, while the three wizards, Gandalf, Saruman and Radaghast went to Dol Guldur, where they met up with Lord Elrond and Lady Galadriel.
Thorin and his small group went to help Dain Ironfoot of the Iron Hills in the fight against Azog's army. Adara fought hard side by side with Fili, and soon Tauriel and Legolas, came to warn of Bolg's army on the move. Adara shot arrow after arrow at the huge Warg of Azog and finally brought the beast to the ground. Azog's anger is so strong that he grabbed Adara by her arm and threw her so hard against a wall of stone that it knocked her out. Fili tried to get to her to see if she still lived, when Azog hit him with his savage blade, ending the life of the young blonde dwarf immediately. Thorin cried out in anger and sorrow, seeing his oldest nephew slain by the Defiler. As he went to take on the horrible creature he saw Kili lying mortally wounded. Thorin's rage consumed him and he ran at the Defiler and they exchanged several slashes with their swords, as Thorin is about to fall to his knees he slams his sword down and took the head of the Defiler off.
Adara soon gained consciousness and looked about her at the devastation and saw Tauriel weeping over the body of Kili, then she saw her Fili, already grown cold in death. She ran to his body and cast herself on to him, trying to well the life back into him. But it was far to late, as she wept for her lost love, Legolas came back from fighting farther out on the field and saw, both Tauriel and Adara weeping. His head bowed and he morns for their loss. As he is about to go to Adara a new volley of black arrows began to darken the sky, Bolg's army had arrived, the army of man and elves also fought together against their foe. As he went to turn and fight he saw Adara stand, sword in hand and start walking into the frey of the fight. Legolas yells at her to stop, to come back, but she doesn't seem to hear him. On she walked, straight up to Bolg, and without warning she stabs him in the gut and swung about and taking off his head. This gave the others the will to continue the fight.
As they stand side by side fighting Legolas' love for Adara grew with each passing second. Adara smiled and nodded her head in the direction of the great mountains and there coming to their aid was a huge army of eagles, led by Radaghast the brown. The war was now more evenly sided. As the light of day dimmed, the dead and wounded lie on the battlefield. Tauriel went back to the body of Kili and kissed him, Thranduil saw that she had love for the dead dwarf and allowed her to bury him. Adara, Legolas and Balin buried Fili and Thorin. Gandalf greeted Bilbo and they soon began their journey back to the Shire, but Bilbo made sure that his dwarf friends knew that they could come and visit and have tea with him at any time.
