Everie helped the people of Lake-town as they moved to the City of Dale.
"Sire! Sire! Come here!" Alfred called from above, Bard and Everie went to him.
Alfred pointed at Erebor, lights were lit along the entrance of Erebor "So the company of Thorin Oakenshield survived" Bard said, Everie can't help but to feel relieved upon hearing the news. "Survived? You mean there are a bunch of dwarves out there with all that gold"
"You shouldn't worry, Alfred, there is enough gold in that mountain for all"
Bard asked his fellowmen that they will camp in the city for the rest of the night, and he asked Alfred to stand watch. When the sun came up, Bard asked Alfred about his watch. "All quiet, sire. Nothing got past me"
"I'd disagree with that" Everie told, Bard came up to where she was standing, he was welcomed by an army of elves. "You were asleep the whole night, aren't you?" Everie said, Alfred didn't answer, and ignored her comment. "Who commands them?" Alfred asked, "He's coming" Everie told, "and how could you possibly know that, elf?"
The King of the Woodland Realm, wearing his armour, arrived riding his elk. Bard made his way through the army and approached the King, "My Lord, Thranduil. I did not expect to see you here"
"I heard you needed aid" Thranduil told Bard, he gave them food, and necessities. The lake-men hurried to get the goods, the King has offered them.
"You have saved us. I don't know how to thank you" Bard told the King, thanking him.
"Your gratitude is misplaced. I did not come on your behalf. I came to reclaim something of mine" Thranduil told Bard,
"Father!" called Everie, Thranduil turned his head to where she is standing, Everie made her way to her father, Thranduil jumped off his elk, and he enclosed her in his loving arms. "My daughter"
"You are Lord Thranduil's daughter?" Alfred stared in disbelief, he earned a glare from Thranduil, he immediately bowed his head as an apology. Thranduil discussed his reason for coming to Erebor, to Bard. The King wanted the white gems of pure starlight, he also asked to have his daughter healed immediately.
Thranduil rode his elk, and watched as his army prepared for war. Bard came to stop him, "You would go for war over a handful of gems?! We are allies in this. My people also have claim upon the riches in that mountain. Let me speak with Thorin" Bard tried to reason with the King. Everie came, upon hearing their conversation.
"Father! This is madness! The dwarves are not the enemy. We should prepare for war, but not with dwarves. Please father, listen to me" Everie tried to convince him, "Enough! So help me, Everie I'm going to get through to you, and if this is the only way so be it" Thranduil commanded his guards to take Everie and watch over her. "My Lord, what do you say? Let me speak with Thorin" Bard asked him again, "You would try to reason with a dwarf?" Thorin looked at Bard
"To avoid war, yes" Bard answered, Thranduil let him, and he rode away. Bard tried to ask Thorin nicely, to have their fair settlement as promised by Thorin himself. Bard asked him to honor his word but Thorin chose not to. Bard returned before Thranduil, "He will give us nothing"
"Such a pity, at least you tried. There is no use to reason with him" Thranduil unleashed his blade, "They understand only one thing" Thranduil smiled holding his blade, "We attack at dawn, are you with us?" he asked Bard.
Gandalf arrives at Dale, men and elves were preparing themselves. Alfred saw Gandalf, and asked him to leave, but Gandalf did not move and made his stand, "Who is in charge?", he asked, Bard came to him, "Who's asking?"
Everie who was nearby, heard them, Gandalf. Before she could make a step, a guard stopped her, "Step aside, if you do not want to get harmed" Everie glared, the guard immediately cleared the way for her. Everie was glad to see the wizard, and she ran to him. "Lady Everie" Gandalf acknowledged her, "Gandalf, Father would not even listen to me. He is determined to have a war with the dwarves" Everie told him, while they walked with Bard to Thranduil's tent. Gandalf tried his best efforts to stop Thranduil's plan to have war with the dwarves, and tried to open his mind about the legions of orcs who were coming to Erebor for war, but the King won't hear any of it.
"What do you think I'm trying to do?!" Gandalf shouted, arguing with the King
"I think you're trying to save your dwarvish friends and I admire your loyalty to them, but it does not dissuade me from my course. You started this Mithrandir, you will forgive me if I finish it" Thranduil stood up from his sit, "Are the archers in position?"
"yes, my Lord"
"Give the order. If anything moves in that mountain, kill it. The dwarves are out of time" Thranduil told as he stared at Erebor.
Gandalf and Bard were arguing outside of Thranduil's tent, when Everie came upon them, "Someone wishes to speak with the King" Everie told them, smiling to Gandalf, both men were wondering who is the person she was talking about, suddenly Bilbo came from behind her, Gandalf was both glad and surprised to see him, after a long time.
