I actually done it :D
SO enjoy it:P
Nalia of the Fiery Mountain
They heard when Radagast left the forest, the warg-scouts behind him, and they emerged out between the trees.
"Gandalf?" Nalia looked up to the tall wizard.
He knew what she meant and he nodded: "Do it."
"Do what?!" Thorin's gaze went from her to Gandalf and back.
"Saving your lives."
"How?"
"Fighting them… so if anyone could help me mounting my pony? It's very difficult without horse track!"
"No!" Thorin grabbed her arm.
"Let me go!"
"No!"
"They will kill you all, if I don't do it!"
"But if you do… they'll kill you."
Nalia looked up to him… surprised and these asinine butterflies captured her stomach again.
"I'll come back… I promise!"
"Just let her go Thorin. You don't even know what she will do!" added Gandalf and the king let her arm out off his strong grip.
Kili helped her to mount the white pony.
"You know where to come." Gandalf gave her a significant look.
"I can imagine."
"So… good luck. You know, as we trained it! Not too early!"
"Yes, master." She grinned.
Then Thorin approached Velveteen. First Oakenshield said to the pony: "Look out for her, miss Velveteen! I want to have her back!" and then he applied to Nalia: "Be careful… please."
Nalia gave him a faint smile and simply nodded.
"Come on Vel! The have an advance! We have to hurry!"
Vel snorted and started running as fast as she could.
Nalia bend forward over the mare's neck.
Afar she made out the orcs on their wargs. They were too fast and Vel gave all she had.
Sometimes the black haired she-dwarf could see the others from the corner of her eyes.
How they are that fast?
The white pony and her rider came closer to their enemy inch by inch. The orc-pack hadn't recognized them yet but Nalia knew it wouldn't be long until they do.
She braced herself when Vel ran faster.
Suddenly the orcs stopped their pets and listened…
Nalia heard it too. Someone fought something!
No!
"Come on Vel! Run! We need to protect them!"
Gandalf the grey
"Move!" Gandalf yelled at the dwarves, "RUUUN!"
They ran as fast as they could, breathless and tired after the long night.
Why does she need so long?
Then the fourteen could see them and in a distance Nalia and Vel appeared.
There they are!
Meter after meter the wargs came closer and mustered up.
When the grey pilgrim turned around and heard Thorin yelling orders, he saw it.
He felt certain. This was the hidden path to Rivendell. By knowing Thorin would hate him therefor he went there.
Yes… This is the way!
"This way, you fools!" Gandalf leaded them.
One dwarf after the other jumped in the whole next to him.
"What's about Nalia? I'm not going to leave her behind!"
"Just come, Thorin! She'll find us!"
The wargs came closer surrounding the rock.
"Thorin… move!"
He came and Gandalf slid after the others.
From he could hear Thorin: "NALIA!"
"Thorin! Come down! She's saving us!"
Unwillingly the king did what the old man said.
"I saw her! She was riding in their rows and… I don't know… A dazzling light came from her… She glowed! Gandalf… what was that?"
"I guess she'll tell you!"
Suddenly there was a horn noise and everything was silence.
"That… was no orc horn! Gandalf?" Thorin looked alarmed.
"I can't see where the path way leads to!" Dwalin was preceded and came back, "Should we follow it or not?"
"Follow it, of cause!" Bofur said not waiting for his king's volition.
The path was small. Of each side, high walls reached to the sky. They couldn't walk in a row and for Bombur it was even harder to get through it.
When it opened all of them (except Thorin) stared at the beauty of this place.
"The valley of Imladris!" Gandalf began, "In the common tongue it's known by an other name."
"Rivendell." Bilbo added full of fascination.
Thorin Oakenshield
Thorin couldn't believe Gandalf did that.
"This was your plan all along!" He said disgusted, "To seek review with our enemy!"
Gandalf answered that there would be no enemy in this valley.
"You think the elves will give our quest their blessing! They will try to stop us!"
"Of cause they will, but we have questions that need to be answered!" Thorin had no argument against this fact and Gandalf told him, that this is need to be handled with respect and charm, "This is why you leave the talking to me!"
They walked down the trail to and Rivendell seemed to become more beautiful with every meter closer to the doors.
"Gandalf, what happened to Nalia?"
"She'll tell you."
"No… Why is she not here with us? After this… light she had enough time to come and I'm sure she had seen me! Why is she not here?"
"Well, I've seen her doing it a few times… and… well…"
"What? Tell me!"
"Every time she did, she passed out."
"Pardon me?" Thorin couldn't believe what he just heard.
"Yes, she just passed out for a couple of hours."
"She passed out and you didn't tell me?!" He yelled.
"I didn't tell you because I knew you would've never let her go."
"Of cause not! What's wrong about this?"
"She can look out for her self."
"While passed out… who can not do that?"
"She has Velveteen."
"Oh… yes… I forgot…Velveteen the warg killer!"
Gandalf didn't answer him.
"Gandalf! I'm talking to you!"
He didn't answer.
"Gandalf!"
They stepped over a bridge and everything around them was just like a dream. Waterfalls and trees and flowers. The whole place was clean. And it seemed to calm down his angry soul, head and his worried heart.
No! He didn't want to calm down. He needed his anger on the elves and his worry about that dwarf girl.
At the other side of the bridge an elf came down a stair. Young or not no one could see.
"Mithrandir!" The elf greeted him and Gandalf seemed to know him because he said his name. But the name was, for Thorin and his dwarves, an absolute complicated name and in fact, the king didn't thought of giving them the pleasure of keeping their names in mind.
The tall elf said something on elfish that Thorin didn't understand.
"I've to speak with lord Elrond." Gandalf said, but the elf replied: "My lord Elrond is not here."
"Not here…" Gandalf began, "where is he?"
Suddenly they heard that horn again and a cornet careered over the bridge.
Thorin ordered his men to stay closely together.
The elves rode in circle around the dwarves and one of them greeted Gandalf friendly: "Gandalf!"
"Lord Elrond." The grey pilgrim answered and added something on elfish.
The lord answered, dismounted his black horse and hugged the old wizard.
"Strange for orcs to so close to our borders. Something or someone has drawn them near." Lord Elrond gave something to the first elf but Thorin wasn't concentrated on that.
"Ah… That may have been us."
Thorin was concentrated on a white pony one of the elven riders hold at a rope.
He turned around quickly searching for her.
Thorin found her sitting… no… He saw that she was kept up by a tall elf on a grey horse.
"Nalia!"
"Nalia? Oh… the girl." Elrond said, "She came with you?"
"Yes! Give her back!" Something in his voice he didn't like but now she was all he cared about.
Elrond said something in his language to the elf, which held the black haired she-dwarf and then added: "Her pony is… well… she did everything to hold us away from her mistress."
"Yes, she can be really aggressive if she wants." Gandalf laughed, while the tall elf dismounted his grey and carried Nalia over to Thorin.
When she finally lay in his arms, he saw down to her soft features.
She looked peaceful while sleeping.
Thorin Oakenshield was sure that he never saw something or someone more beautiful.
Nalia of the Fiery Mountain
Nalia woke up in soft cushions. Moonlight came from windows and she heard the garrulously of waterfalls and the wind in the leaves of green trees.
When she tried to sit up every muscle in her body protested.
"Let me help you." Someone stood up from a seat next to the bed.
"Thorin!"
"Yes." He said smiling.
"You found me?"
"Not exactly… an elfish cornet found you lining in the middle of twenty dead orcs and thirty dead wargs, who weren't even touched by anyone."
"Yes… I met many people that wondered about this." He helped her to sit up, "Thank you."
"My pleasure."
"Have you found out something about this map?"
"Yes. This elven Lord…"
"Lord Elrond."
"Yes, Lord Elrond. He told us, however, these are 'moon-runes'. And he could read it because it seems the destiny is with us and it shines the same moon tonight as when the map was drawn. I never left your side since Gandalf, Balin, Bilbo and I talked with him."
"And before?"
"Well, Elrond assured me, that his guards would look after you."
"And you trusted him?" she laughed, "I'm proud of you!"
"No, I let Kili and Fili here to keep their eyes glued on you."
"I knew it." She laughed again.
"At some things I will never change."
"But you've changed." She said looking deep in his sorrowful eyes: "I think it's time that you remember me."
So you can guess... next chapter is about her history:D
Hope you'd enjoy it
Don't forget to review;P
