OMG OmG OmG!

I saw the first scenes of the extended version yesterday and I am freaking out! The dwarves in Rivendell, Thorin is even dancing (a little bit). And Kili! Seriously you have to look at it yourselves!

'That bastard!'

The outraged cry and a slammed door made Dis jump. As she looked up she saw Oda storm into the kitchen. The princess was furious and Dis could tell that her brother was in trouble.

'What did he do?' Dis asked amused.

'He?! He wants to marry my sister to establish a bond between our people!' Oda growled. 'My bloody sister!'

Dis took a deep breath. That was bad and she had not seen that coming. She knew her brother very well and she could not imagine that he would do such a thing after...well, after becoming intimate with Oda. Thorin was a ladiesman, but he would never have taken Oda into his bed and planned to marry her sister at the same time. That was not the honorable brother she knew. Before she could say so Oda stormed off again.

'I need to kill something.' she muttered and mounted her horse to storm off.

After a few moments Fili and Kili came rushing into the kitchen. Dis could tell that they had learned that something had happened.

'Oda just rode past us like the goddess of war herself, what happened?' Fili asked his mother.

Dis sighed. 'Ask your uncle.'

She laughed as Kili winced and slapped his head to ban the picture of Oda and his uncle in bed.

Thorin worked in his smithy to clear his mind. Oda was not back yet and is was already nightime. Thorin knew that she could take care of herself, but she was furious and alone and he feared that she had gotten into trouble. It was pourring down rain and the streets had turned into small rivers. The dwarf king stood by the window and stared down into the night. He thought about following her into the night, but he had no idea where she had gone and all the horse tracks had been washed away by now. As he heard a quiet sound behind him he turned around only to see Oda standing in the smithy, grabbing the hammer on the anvil. Before Thorin could say a word Oda had thrown the heavy hammer with a force the dwarf had never thought possible. The hammer crashed through the wall behind him and Thorin only prayed that Oda had missed on purpose. He held up his hands in defeat.

'Oda, calm down.' he told her quietly. The princess was soaking wet and shivered, wether it was of cold or of fury he did not know. Probably both. Thorin walked towards her, but Oda recoiled.

'Stay where you are.' Oda said hoarsely. 'How dare you?'

'Oda, please...' Thorin tried again, but Oda was incredibly furious.

'Don´t "Oda" me!' she growled. 'Why didn´t you talk to me about all this?'

'About what?' Thorin asked her quietly.

'As if you would really consider marrying my sister! Your plan was to make her that furious that she would run to Ragnor and would plead him to marry him instead of you!' Oda snarled. 'But you had to trick around instead of talking to me! To us!'

Thorin sighed. Of course Oda had guessed his plans, she was no naive little girl. And now she was furious.

'This way I did not have to force anyone to do something. There will be no damage done.' Thorin told her quietly.

Oda only sighed. 'What if she says yes?'

With these words Oda turned around and left the smithy, leaving Thorin behind with a dull feeling in his stomach. He had in fact planned with Runa dismissing his marriage plans. That she could even consider saying yes was not an option.

The next day Thorin was on his way to the throne room as Ragnor came to see him.

'May we walk together?' he asked Thorin who nodded. 'I understand you talked to Oda yesterday?'

'You are well informed.' Thorin stated sourly. 'And talked is putting it mildly.'

'I saw the hole in the smithys wall.' Ragnor grinned. 'That should be a nice place for an additional window.'

Thorin smirked, he liked Ragnors humor. The man was very nice indeed, but for Thorin he was the man who might take away Oda from him.

'Oda guessed what my intent was.' Thorin told Ragnor.

'Of course she did.' Ragnor smiled. 'She is a clever lady, like her sister. They will make good queens one day.'

With these words he stopped in his tracks and looked at Thorin. 'I want to be honest with you. I have grown fond of the lady Runa, as you grew fond of lady Oda. I understand that your intent was to...switch the marriage plans?'

Thorin nodded. 'That would be a more fitting arrangement, don´t you think?'

'I think it would be perfect.' Ragnor smirked. 'Although I am afraid that the two ladies might be very upset to learn that you made this decision without asking them. I have enough windows in my home already. Oda really threw the smith hammer at you?'

Thorin grinned at Ragnors astonished face. 'I have to say - thank goodness I do not have to marry her!' the man sighed and made Thorin laugh.

'I am sure Runa will find something nice to throw at you.'

Thorin sat on his throne and Ragnor stood in the throne room as Runa and Oda entered together. The two sisters entered as a unit, clad similarly and both with a thunderous expression on their faces. Thorin looked at Ragnor who winced. The council of dwarves looked satisfied, since their plan seemed to work out.

Clearing his throat he welcomed the two ladies of Duath.

'Welcome, queen Runa, princess Oda.' Thorin swallowed hard as he saw Oda frown. 'I understand that we have come to an agreement?'

Runa stepped forward and glanced at Thorin and then at Ragnor. 'Yes, we have, your majesty. I will happily accept your marriage proposal.'

Thorin felt as if he was slapped in the face. He looked at Runa is disbelief and saw that Ragnor had paled, too. Oda walked up to Ragnors side with a dark expression on her face.

'My dear husband to be.' she said sourly and cocked an eyebrow at him. 'Don´t they look happy?' she smirked and turned around to her sister.

Runa smiled and moved closer to Thorin. 'I would suggest you declare what you really want to do, king Thorin. Or else we will marry as it is.'

Thorin glared at Runa. She was a proud woman and she had lost her kingdom to the dwarves of Erebor. Runa had been pleased to trick him like she did, almost giving him a heart attack. The last thing he wanted was to marry a woman who hated him.

'If you marry the lord Ragnor, as you both wish...' Thorin started. 'You will have to leave your people.'

Runa snarled bitterly. 'The Blue Mountains are lost to my people, king Thorin. It is your home now. I will leave what is left of my people to my sister. And leave with the man I love.'

Oda looked at Ragnor whose expression got soft and lovingly at Runas words and smiled. He loved her, too. Oda was happy for her sister, althought the circumstances had not been the best.

Thorin nodded. 'As you wish, lady Runa. I wish you and lord Ragnor all the best.'

Some dwarves of the royal council tried to object, but Thorin silenced them with a simple gesture. 'The bond between the men of Duath and the dwarves of Erebor is already strong and will be deepened in the future. Today we celebrate the engagement of the lady Runa and lord Ragnor.'

Thorin dismissed the council and walked towards Runa and Ragnor to congratulate them. As he looked to Oda he could see that she still had a dark impression on her face.

'Whats wrong, sunlight?' he asked her quietly.

'You may have been with endless women who bowed to your every will, king Thorin. But I am no such woman.' Oda told him firmly. 'Did you even think of asking me if I wanted to marry you?'

Thorin looked at her in surprise. He had indeed not planned to ask her, but he had thought that it was what she wanted, too. He realised that he had taken things into his own hands without thinking of the woman who was as much a part of this as he was. But before he could apologise to her, Oda stormed out of the throne room. Thorin let out an angered growl and nearly ran into Runa as he turned around. She looked at him with her clever green eyes and smiled sourly.

'My sister is a very passionate woman. If you cannot handle that then I suggest you should take a dwarven queen.' Runa told him.

'I do not want another woman.' Thorin snarled at her and for the first time Runa smiled at him warmly.

'My sister does not give away her heart that easily.' she warned him. 'Unlike other of your conquests she will only love a man, or in your case dwarf, who will see her as equal in nearly every aspect of their lives. We will see who gets the lead in this relationship.'

Thorin stared at her as she bowed and left and turned to Balin, who stood at one of the huge pillars with a huge smirk. Thorin was speechless. It was new to him that he had to fight to gain the affection of a female. But then again he had never been in love with one of his conquests before. Balin grinned as the king under the mountain past him, shaking his head. This would be interesting, indeed.
