Okay... enjoy it

Nalia of the Fiery Mountain

Nalia was behind Kili, Fili and Thorin. Quietly the group of thirteen dwarfs made their way through the undergrowth.

Suddenly they heard trees cracking behind them and they hid themselves behind bushes or trunks.

A troll ran past them without recognizing that someone was hiding there.

He was big and fat and grey and ugly. He carried something in his arms. Ponies! And one of them was Velveteen!

No!

A scream wanted to leave her and she went forward… as someone grabbed her and took one hand on her mouth and the other around her stomach. She bridled against that person and tried to take the hand from her.

"Stay still!" Thorin whispered in her ear, "It's me. You can't help her now! If you try you're dead!"

Suddenly tears ran over her cheek and down to Thorins hand.

"Hey… we'll save her! You hear me? Don't cry."

She leaned back to his chest and slowly he took back his hand and caressed her hair.

They waited 'til the monster was far enough and continued their way.

The king and the she-dwarf darted a glance at each other. He gave her a faint smile.

When they sat behind some bushes they heard the trolls talking. They were three and one of them had Bilbo grappled by his feet.

Thorin nodded in Kili's direction and his nephew stormed out of the shrubs.

"Drop him!" The young dwarf yelled.

Nalia looked around seeking Vel and the other ponies. She found them all behind a wooden fence.

But before she could creep there, Thorin gave signal for attack and she followed him and the others.

Velveteen the Wise

Vel watched the fight while she was jostled by Daisy.

"WOUH! YEEHH! FIGHT THEM! BEAT THEM! KILL THEM!" She cheered and to Daisy: "Hey, watch your steps!"

"I'm sorry. But I'm so scared! These… things… are making me frightened. How can you be so cool?"
"The 'prince' and his guard are here for our safety. And my Nalia would never let anything happen to me!"

"Prince?"

"That guy, who jumps around like a ballerina. Who always looks like he would cry the next moment."

"I thought he is a king?"

"Hell, are you silly." Vel murmured.

When she concentrated back on the fight, she saw Bilbo coming for her and the other ponies rescue.

"Thank you my friend." She snorted.

Vel decided to seek for Gandalf so he could help them.

First she tried it at the shrunken farmers house where they had rested before the whole troll-thing.

Then Vel saw Gandalfs sorrel blazing the trail to the camp.

"GANDALF! GANDALF!" she neighed.

"Velveteen, right? Where are the others?"

"TROLLS! Gandalf! Trolls are there and Bilbo… and other ponies… and the dwarfs came to save us!"

"Come down missy! He doesn't understand you and it doesn't help when you are talking like this." the Sorrel said slowly.

"Can you lead me to them?"

"Of cause! Follow me!"

Gandalf dismounted his horse and Vel was excited: "Hurry, old man! I don't know if they can fight the trolls without you!"

Nalia of the Fiery Mountain

"The secret of cooking dwarf is" Bilbo began and the Trolls were impatient, "Is, er… to skin them first!"

After the trolls has been attacked by the dwarfs and won the battle they had put the thirteen pipsqueaks in sacks. Now some of the little creatures were bound on a trunk that the trolls spun over a large campfire.

The dwarfs shouted at Bilbo and one troll seemed to disagree with him. The big monstrosity said this would be bollocks and an other said he want to eat a dwarf now: "Nice and crunchy!"

"No… Not that one… he… he's infected!" Bilbo said quickly as the troll held Bombur over his mouth, "He's got worms in his… tubes."

The troll threw Bombur away. He landed on Kili and his weight caused Thorin's nephew to yell with pain.

"In fact" Bilbo started again, "they all are… they invested with parasites. It's a terrible business… I wouldn't risk it!"

Suddenly some dwarfs started to shout that they don't have parasites.

The trolls had placed Nalia in a not so comfortable position. On her legs lay Kili and (because the troll threw him there) Bombur and on her upper body Oin pressed the breath out of her lungs. Only her head rested convenient on Thorin's chest.

"Oh how you can be that silly? Bilbo is trying to save us!" No one heard her because her breathless body couldn't speak louder then the lowest whisper.

No one except Thorin whose head was near enough to hers.

So he shoved his men with his body.

Now the others understood and told the trolls how big their worms were.

The shove had hurt her jammed body and she whined a bit in pain.

"Sorry Nalia… are you okay?" Thorin whispered while the monsters asked Bilbo if they should let everyone go.

"I'm jammed under three bodies and I can barely breath. So… what do you think, prince?"

"Yes… consistent."

Suddenly Gandalf appeared and split the rock he was standing on.

Daylight was shown instead of the big crag and the trolls became stone.

Then Gandalf helped Bilbo out of his sack and Bilbo ran to Balin and Bombur.

When Balin helped Thorin out Vel reached the group and searched for Nalia.

She tried to unravel the knot of the sack Nalia caught in with her lips and teeth.

"Vel! You're back!" Nalia greeted her and the mare snorted.

"Let me try, pony." Thorin said but Vel took a snap at him.

"Hey, luv, he is not that bad! Let him try, sweety!"

Unwillingly she stepped back and gave him a supervisory look.

"Thank you, Velveteen." Thorin said and bowed his head.

He kneed down next to Nalia and opened the sack. Nalia released her arms and then the rest of her body.

For her luck the trolls had not taken her cloth, as with the others, (why ever) so she didn't stand half-naked in front of the male-dwarfs.

Thorin helped her to her feet: "Better now?"

"I can breath!" She cheered and caused him to laugh.

"If you'll excuse me, I need speak with Gandalf."

"Of cause, my lord." She said, bowing a bit.

When he was gone Vel snorted. Nalia knew her with pony very well and she saw what Velveteen wanted to say with her gaze: "I thought it would be harder to get you!"

"I know…" She said in a low voice, "I thought that too."

Bilbo Baggins the master burglar

Bilbo was tired. And he was a bit grumpy. Just a little bit! No one had thanked him for what he'd done and no one cared about his wellbeing.

I should've never left the Shire!

Suddenly the king ordered to find a troll cave. So they looked out for it and they actually found one!

It was a bad smelling hole at the foot of the mountains. Thousand of stripped bones and eroded flesh-meat were scattered on the cave floor. Flies were everywhere. But there also was a treasure! Gold and silver… Wonderful chalices and spruce… Scrolled deadly looking weapons.

The dwarfs decided to hide the hoard, to come back later and pick it up.

Bilbo bore Nalia company: "Aren't you going to save some gold for yourself?"

"I'm not avaricious, you know, I have all I need." She smiled at him.

"What's about a new weapon?"

"I guess mine is good enough. I don't need an elfish blade, like them." She pointed on Gandalf and Thorin who were talking about the sword in their hands, which seemed to be produced by elves.

"Well, I hope I'll never need one any way."

"I'm sorry to frustrate you, but I guess this is inevitable on this journey, master burglar."

"Hmm… Probably you're right."

Thorin Oakenshield

When they stepped out of the cave he had an elfish blade! Would his grandfather blame him therefor? Probably, yes. His father? Maybe.

Abruptly something got audibly and an odd looking man on rabbit-drawn sleigh appeared!

That seemed to be Radagast the brown and he said: "I was looking for you Gandalf! Something's wrong… something's terribly wrong!"
"Yes…" Gandalf answered.

Radagast opened his mouth and closed it again: "Just give me a minute… OHHH… I had a thought and now I lost it… It's right there… on the tip of my tongue!" And then: "Oh… it's not a thought at all…" Thorin watched as Gandalf took the stick insect off Radagast's tongue.

Nalia who stood next to him said: "Ugh! Yummy!"

Thorin looked down to her and grinned as she shook her body to get rid of the thought of an insect in her mouth.

Radagast and Gandalf went out of earshot to talk.

Nalia sat down on a little rock next to her white mare and caressed her.

"You love her as a sister, don't you?" Oakenshield ask, smiling down at her.

"She is everything I have. My whole and only family."

"It's sweet how she wants to protect you!"

"Well, I'm everything she has." The two dwarfs laughed.

"You two have us!" Ori said.

"Yes. Both of you are part of family now." Kili agreed, the others nodded and Nalia smiled: "You are so lovely you twelve!"

"Thank you, lass." Gloin said.

Then they could hear a howl.

"Was that a wolf? Are… are there any wolves out there?" Bilbo asked frightened.

"Wolf? No, that was not a wolf!" Bofur said alarmed.

Two wargs appeared one ran into Thorin's new blade the other was shot by his black haired nephew.

"Warg scouts!" He yelled, "That means the orc pack is not far behind!"

"Orc pack!?" Bilbo repeated.

"Who did you tell about your quest?" Gandalf stepped forward.

"No one!" Thorin answered by truth.

"Who did you tell?"

"No one… I swear!"

They had to leave but then Ori shouted: "We can't! We have no ponies! They're bolted!"

Suddenly Radagast offered to distract the wargs and their riders.

"These are gundabag wargs! They'll outrun you!" Gandalf yelled bugged.

"These are Rosghobel rabbits… I'd like to see them try!"

I know the troll scene is short but I didn't want to stretch it... it would be far too long and there are more interesting scenes:D

Please review and... Yeah
