Everie was prohibited by her father to join him tomorrow, her father even ordered his guards to keep watch of her, but she had a plan. Everie loves her father very much, but she knows she have to do this. She can't help but be also bothered by the thought of a certain dwarf prince. Dragon sickness

When the sun came up the next morning, Thranduil's army together with the Lake-men marched to Erebor, facing Thorin and his company. Thranduil who was riding his elk and Bard who was riding a horse went to the entrance. Thorin shot an arrow at Thranduil's elk, stopping it from walking further. Thranduil and Bard looked up to Thorin and his company.

"I'll put the next one between your eyes" Thorin threatened the Elvenking with his arrow. Thranduil smirked at his threat, the King's archers got in position to shoot at the dwarves, Thorin remained in his place, not backing down, Thranduil made a signal to his archers for them to stand down, and they did.

Thranduil began, "We've come to tell you. Payment of your debt has been offered and accepted"

"What payment? I gave you nothing. You have nothing" Thorin said, Thranduil made eye contact with Bard, and he took something from his pocket, and showed it to the dwarves. "We have this" The dwarves stared at it in surprise.

"They have the Arkenstone" Kili said in surprise, "Thieves! That stone belongs to the King!"

"The King may have it. But first, he must honor his word" Bard told them, then he kept the stone safe inside his pocket

"They are taking us for fools" Thorin whispered to his company, grinning and then he shouted, "The Arkenstone is in this mountain! It's a trick─"

Bilbo cut him off, "It's no trick. The stone is real. I gave it to them" Bilbo confessed, while the dwarves stare at Bilbo. "I took it as my fourteenth share"

"You would steal from me" Thorin said, anger in his eyes

"Steal from you?" Bilbo repeated, in disbelief. "No, no. I may be a burglar─ or so they say: personally I never felt like one─ but I am an honest one. I am willing to let it stand against my claim"

Thorin chuckled at Bilbo's statement. "Against your claim? Your claim? You have no claim. You! You miserable hobbit! You undersized ─ burglar!" Thorin shouted at him, full of anger.

Bilbo talked again, "I was going to give it to you. Many times I wanted to but─"

"But what, thief?" Thorin asked out of curiosity.

"You are changed Thorin. The dwarf I met in Bag-End would never have gone back on his word, would never have doubted the loyalty of his kin!"

"Do not speak to me of loyalty" Thorin glared at Bilbo, "Throw him on the rocks!" Thorin told his men, but no one dared to move. "Do you not hear me?! Then, I will do it myself!" Thorin said, turning upon the halfling and grasping him with his hands. "Curse the wizard that chose you to join this company!" Thorin cursed while he shook and lifted Bilbo, ready to let him fall to the ground below. "If you don't like my burglar, please don't damage him. Return him to me" Gandalf said, getting their attention, Thorin dropped Bilbo on the top of the wall, the dwarves helped him escape, while Thorin was occupied.

"You are not making a very splendid figure as King under the mountain, are you? Thorin son of Thrain" Gandalf looked at Thorin, "Never again will I have dealings with any wizard or any shire rats!" Thorin shouted at the wizard.

"Are we resolved? The return of the Arkenstone for what was promised. Give us you answer, will you have peace or war?" Bard asked the King under the mountain. Just then a black bird flew and landed on the wall in front of Thorin, Thorin looked at the bird, and smirked. "I will have war"

Just then, an army of dwarves came marching at the other side, catching everybody else attention, including Gandalf. "Ironfoot" he whispered to himself, upon seeing the dwarf men. The company of Thorin cheered in the background.

Gandalf, Bilbo, Thranduil and his army, Bard and his men went to meet the coming dwarves. "Who is that? He doesn't look very happy" asked Bilbo to the wizard, "He's Dain. Lord of the Ironhills. Thorin's cousin" Bilbo was curious, "Are they alike?" Gandalf looked at Bilbo, "I've always found Thorin, a more reasonable of the two"

The dwarves came to a stop, and Dain began to speak. "Would you consider…JUST STORMING OFF! ALL OF YOU! RIGHT NOW!" Dain told them, Gandalf came in to calm the situation, "Come now, Lord Dain."

"Gandalf the Gray. Tell this rotten to leave, or I'll water the ground with their blood" Dain said with conviction.

"There is no need for war between dwarves men and elves. A legion of orcs march on the mountain. Stand your army down" Gandalf said, trying to reason with the dwarf Lord, but he refused to listen. "I will not stand down before any elf. Not to this, faithless Woodland sprite" Dain pointed at Thranduil with disgust. "He wishes nothing but ill upon my people, if he chooses to stand between me and my kin. I'LL SPLIT HIS PRETTY HEAD OF HIM!" Dain shouted, Thorin and his company cheered. Thranduil smirked and talked back, "He's clearly mad, like his cousin!" Dain, upon hearing Thranduil's insult, went to his men. "Hear that lads? Come on, let's show these sprites a good hammering!" The dwarves and the elves get ready for battle, when wheelworms bursted from the ground across Erebor, orcs began to charge before them, the dwarves took their position and the elves moved in at the back. "The elves, would they not fight?" Bilbo said noticing the elves backing away, "Thranduil! This is madness!" Gandalf shouted at the Elvenking.

The dwarves lined up their shields to form a defense, and their spears pointing out, just then the elves jumped over them and attacked the orcs, starting the war. Thorin ordered his company to stand down, they followed him not out of love but out of loyalty. Everie who was under the disguise as one of the elven army, fought too, noticing she had not seen Thorin's company, she decided to sneak inside Erebor. The orcs have surrounded the dwarves army below headed by Dain, even the city of Dale was under attack by the orcs.

"Since when did we forsake our own people. Thorin, they are dying out there" Dwalin said to Thorin, who was sitting on his throne.

"There are halls within this mountain, places we can fortify. Yes, yes we must do that, we must move the treasure to safety…" Thorin mumbled, Dwalin cannot take this nonsense anymore. "Did you not hear me?! Dain is surrounded, they are being slaughtered, Thorin"

"Men die in war. Life is cheap, but a treasure such as this cannot be counted in the lives lost. It is worth all the blood they can spend" Thorin, told him. Dwalin looked at Thorin in pity and said, "You sit here in these vast walls, with a crown upon your head and yet you are lesser now than you will ever be."

Thorin stood up and shouted at Dwalin, "I am your king!"

"You were always my king, at least you still know that much. You cannot see what you have become" Dwalin said to Thorin with concern in his eyes.

"Go. Get out. Before I kill you" Thorin said, not wanting to hear anymore of this nonsense, Dwalin had a glimpse at his friend, before he left him alone.

Thorin was walking through the golden gallery where he tried to drown Smaug with melted Gold, when he noticed a movement hiding in the dark. Thorin followed it, chasing it with his blade, and when he finally reached it, he used his blade to attack it, but his attack was blocked by a dagger of the person hiding in the dark. The light from one of the torches, shone upon them, revealing the person's face. It was the elf, Everie, daughter of Thranduil.

"She-elf?! What are you doing here?" asked Thorin, surprised. "Perhaps you have come to steal from me! I would not let you get a single cent from my treasure!"

"Treasure? Is that all you care about, master dwarf?" Thorin dropped his blade on his side,

"A treasure such as this, you would never understand its value. You are not welcome here. Go now! Before I slice your throat!" Thorin threatened the elf, but she just ignored it. "Go on then, but I must say, I prefer the dwarf I've met in our dungeons than the dwarf who is standing right in front of me." Thorin glared at her, and shouted, "How dare you say that to me, She-elf!"

Everie continued, "The dwarf prince who had nothing then, earned my respect. Although, he does not have a treasure such as this then, atleast he valued his company and his people. I am saddened of how you've become, but I hope it's not too late to change that. Thorin, you are better than this, I hope you will return back to the great dwarf I've once met." Everie's eyes were full of emotion as she said remembered the dwarf who she first laid her eyes on in their dungeons.

"I am the King and you have no right to say that to me!" Thorin attacked her, Everie dropped her dagger surprised from the sudden impact.

"You may have that crown upon your head, and all these treasure, but a King that is too cowardly to face his own battle, and who value his gold more than his people and his friends will never be a great King." Everie told Thorin, without any weapon to hold.

"Enough! You! You are braver than I thought! Don't you know that you deserve to die for disrespecting me with what you have said!" Thorin pointed his blade against her throat, "Any last words for me?" Thorin stared at the elf before him,

"I do not turn my back on my friends, even if they do…" Everie told the dwarf King, without a look of fright in her eyes "…especially one so dear to me…" she whispered, making Thorin dropped his blade, he turned his back on her and screamed, "LEAVE! NOW!" Everie looked at Thorin one last time, and she left.

Thorin was having hallucinations and delusions, thinking about the gold, but especially of what his friends, and the elf had told him. Their words ringing in his mind, Thorin had enough. He threw his crown and his grandfather's cloak, he picked up the elf's dagger and took hold of it. Thorin had come back

The company was surprised to see Thorin walking up to them, Fili shouted as he walked to Thorin, "I will not hide behind stoned walls when others fight our battles for us! It is not in my blood, Thorin"

As they met each other in the center, Thorin said "No, it is not. We are sons of Durin and Durins folk do not hide from a fight" Thorin smiled at Fili, who was teary eyed, and they touched their foreheads together, like brothers. Thorin faced his company and told them, "I have no right to ask this to any of you, but will you all follow me, one last time?"

Thorin and his company fought with the orcs together with Dain's army who were almost at the entrance to Erebor. "Thorin, there's too many of this buggers, I hope you got a plan" Dain told Thorin, as he embraced his cousin. Thorin looked where Azog was standing, "Aye, I'm going to take down their leader"

Everie was now fighting orcs at the City of Dale, together with her kin and men. Bilbo and Gandalf was there too, "Gandalf! Its Thorin!" shouted Bilbo, Everie made her way to him and looked to the direction he was looking, it is indeed, Thorin. Everie was glad, he finally came back to his senses. Gandalf who was caught in a middle of a fight, after killing the orc, Gandalf made his way to where Bilbo was standing,

"Fili, Kili and Dwalin. He's taking his best warriors" Gandalf told, "To do what?" Bilbo asked, "To cut the head of the snake"

"Azog the Defiler" Everie said, as she figured it out.

Legolas and Tauriel came to view, riding a horse. "Gandalf!" Legolas called, Gandalf turned around "Legolas. Legolas Greenleaf", and Legolas jumped off the horse, gave his sister a warm welcome and faced the wizard. "There's a second army, Bolg leads a force of Gundabad orcs. They are almost upon us" Legolas informed, Gandalf figured it out quite quickly "Gundabad? So this is there plan all along. Azog against our forces, then Bolg sneaks in from the North"

Bilbo worried, and asked "The North? Where is the North, exactly?"

"Ravenhill" Gandalf told him, "Ravenhill. Thorin is up there. Fili and Kili, they're all up there" Bilbo said with a concerned voice and ran up to where he was looking at it from before, as they all looked to the North, their face full of concern and worry.

When Thorin, Fili, Kili and Dwalin reached Ravenhill, they were surprised to see that it was empty. Thorin ordered them to search, and if they see something don't engage. Just the, Goblin mercenaries were making their way towards them, Thorin and Dwalin were left to deal with the Goblins.

Thranduil who was walking along Dale, can't help but be emotional to see some of the elves who died. "Recall your company" Thranduil ordered, and his servant blew the horn. Just then, Gandalf came to view, "My Lord! You must move your force to Ravenhill, the dwarves are about to be overrun. I thought, he ought to be warned"

"By all means warn him. I have spent enough elvish blood upon this accursed land. No more!" Thranduil said and walked away, "Thranduil!" Gandalf shouted hoping to stop him, but he didn't.

"I'll go" Bilbo said out of the blue

"Don't be ridiculous, you'll never make it" Gandalf told him

"Why not?"

"Because they will see you coming, and kill you!" Gandalf said, stating him the obvious

"No they won't. They won't see me" Bilbo said, as if he was sure

"it's out of the question, I won't allow it

"I'm not asking you to allow it, Gandalf" Bilbo smiled at his friend, he hid behind a stone wall, and wore the ring and then he made his way towards Ravenhill.

Thranduil together with whats left of the elves, were making their way out of the city, when he laid upon Tauriel, blocking their path. "Get out of my way!" Thranduil said with anger,

Tauriel continued, "You will not hide. Not this time. The dwarves will be slaughtered"

"Yes, they will die. Today, tomorrow, one year hence, a hundred years from now. What does it matter? They are mortal" Thranduil said, making Tauriel see the truth as he walked closer to hers. Tauriel armed with her bow, pointed an arrow directly at Thranduil's head. "You think your life is worth more than theirs, when there is no love? There is no love in you!" Tauriel said, emphasizing.

Thranduil moved his attention for a while, then he swished his blade, Tauriel's bow fell to the ground, broken. Thranduil pointed his blade at her neck, "What do you know of love? Nothing! What you feel for that dwarf is not real. You think it is love, are you willing to die for it?" Tauriel looked at him with teary eyes, just when Thranduil was about to kill Tauriel, a blade stopped him from doing so.

"If you kill her, then you have to kill us first" Legolas said to his father, with Everie by his side. Thranduil stared to both of his children, obviously he cannot do that. They are his children, he lowered down his blade. Legolas faced Tauriel and said, "We'll go with you" they turned their backs and walked off.

Everie went up to her father, closing their distance between them, their foreheads touching each other, Everie whispered "I know you love us, father. If you do, then fight with us" she said, while looking straight into her father's eyes, lovingly. Everie kissed his father's cheek before she walked off and followed Legolas and Tauriel to Ravenhill.
