The roar of a dragon was heard throughout the city, Smaug has arrived. Smaug has reached Lake-town and began to burn the city into ashes. The people were all panicking and running for their lives, not knowing how to escape the wrath of the dragon. Everie, who was hurt by Bolg was running through Lake-town, trying to find Tauriel, when she saw a familiar face, it was Bain, son of Bard, he was shouting at his dad who was in the belltower, shooting arrows at Smaug, each attempt fails to hurt the dragon's armor.
Bain arrives to aid his father with a Black arrow, Smaug flew over and half destroyed the bell tower with his claws. Bard forced to make a crossbow with the remnants around him and using Bain as a stand. Smaug lands, crashing some of the houses with his body, Everie went to face the dragon, standing a distance away from the dragon, facing him. Everie distracted the dragon, shooting arrows to its direction, while the lake-men who were stranded below the dragon, ran away from the beast.
Everie aimed her arrow at Smaug "How very noble of you, elfling. Being heroic, are we? I can see why Thorin had his heart for you. You are brave, but that bravery would not save you from your death. And you, bowman" Smaug looked forward at Bard, "Is that your child? You cannot save him. You are all forsaken. You will all burn" Smaug said as he charges towards the elf, Bard and his son. Bard notches the arrow, guided by his knowledge of Smaug's secret weakness, fires the black arrow into the beast's vulnerable spot on his belly. Roaring in fury and pain, Smaug fell from the sky and crashed into the flaming ruins of Lake-town, his death signalling the end of the presence of dragons in Middle Earth.
The dragon was finally dead, Everie was able to bandage her wound with the help of Bard, she found Tauriel by the shore, with the dwarf, Kili. "They are your people, you should go with them" Tauriel told him, but it seems the dwarf does not want to leave Tauriel behind, Everie noticed that Legolas had arrived, Everie ran to her brother and earned a hug from him. "Are you alright, my sister?"
"Yes, I'm alright"
"Your wound" Legolas went to touch her shoulder, but she moved it away. "Don't mind it, Legolas" Everie said and Legolas listened to his sister's request. Legolas saw Tauriel from afar, talking with the dwarf. Everie who saw the hurt in her brother's eye "Are you willing to let go of someone you love?" Legolas turned to look at his sister, surprised by her sudden question, but she did not get a reply, Legolas went to get Tauriel from the company of the dwarf. The dwarves sailed away to Erebor, while Everie and Tauriel followed Legolas.
They came upon Bard, "Where are you going?" asked Legolas
"There's no other place" replied Bard, "The mountain. You are smart, sire. We can take refuge inside the mountain" Alfred said, "The news of the death of Smaug will spread through the lands" Legolas informed Bard.
"Aye" Bard said in understanding
"Others will come to claim the mountain, for its wealth, for its position…" Legolas told him, "What do you know?" Bard asked, knowing that there is something that he might know. "Nothing for certain, it is what may come, I fear" Legolas replied, looking from afar and then he walked with Everie and Tauriel at his side.
"Legolas, tell us what is bothering your mind" Everie said, noticing his brother is uneasy.
"You saw something out there" Tauriel noticed,
"It was Bolg, the spawn of Azog the Defiler, he's headed north. They bare a mark I haven't seen in a long time. The mark of Gundabad" Legolas told, with curiosity in his eyes.
"Gundabad?" Tauriel looked surprised, while Everie looked curious.
"A terrible land that lies to the North, just beyond the Misty Mountains" Legolas informed them both.
Just then an elf riding a horse came behind them, the elf called the attention of the elves. "Your father is asking for both of you, immediately" the elf said,
"Come, Tauriel" Legolas called but the elf cut them off, "The king has banished Tauriel" the elf said while looking at Tauriel. "Banished?" Legolas said in disbelief. Everie looked at Tauriel with concern and said, "Tauriel does not deserve to be banished". Legolas went to the elf and relayed his message, "You will tell our father if there is no place for Tauriel, then there is no place for his children either"
Tauriel walked her way to Legolas, "Legolas, this is your King's command"
"He is our King" Legolas looked at his sister, Everie then he looked at Tauriel, "but he does not command my heart" Everie, can't help but be glad about Legolas, he really grew up to be a fine elf. Legolas started walking again in a fast pace, "I'll ride North, will you come with me?" Legolas asked Tauriel, "To where?"
"To Gundabad" Legolas told her, "Wait, you're leaving me?" Everie asked, eyebrows raised
"Everie, you stay here. Father will come eventually, I'm counting on you to deal with him, alright?" Legolas asked her for a favour, Everie nods "That would not be easy, but I will do what I can" Legolas kissed her sister's forehead, and they went off.
