Ok I cant stay away from this story so I'm going to keep going. I dont want to start another story so I'll post on this one.
This story takes place about a year after the last chapter. :) I just can't stay away from young Kili and Fili. And thank you to everyone who loves this story. :) Enjoy!
Thorin was walking away around the village. It was a nice day to be out, the weather was just right. The sun was shining there were not many clouds in the sky. Two children ran by him laughing as they chased each other around. One had a wooden sword and the other only had a shield. It make him miss his nephews. He hasn't seen them since early yesterday. He smiled it seemed to get harder and harder not to go see them every day. Even Thrain was lucky if he saw his grandsons once a week.
He made up his mind. He would go to Dis' house, but only for a little bit since he was a very busy prince and all. It took him no time at all to get to her house. He should have brought some food with him. His nephews sure could eat. He was about to knock on the door when it flew open.
Dis stood there wide eyed. "Thorin!" She had Kili in her arms and Fili's hand in her own. "What a surprise." But her shocked face became one of very happy. "I'm so glad you're here!"
Thorin looked down at Fili giving him a little wave and smiling. "You are?" He asked looking back at his sister but not before he poked Kili in the back causing him to look at him. "Kili."
Kili's eye lit up as he looked at his uncle.
"I need you to babysit for me again." Dis handed her youngest son over to his uncle.
Thorin was starting to love that request. "Well. I was just coming over to see if you needed food….but I guess I could do that." He looked down at Kili who had wrapped his small arms around his neck.
"Thank you Thorin." Dis gave her brother a kiss on his cheek. "You're the greatest brother ever." She hated to leave her kids on such a short notice but she knew Thorin loved to watch them. Even when he denied it.
"Where are you going?" Thorin asked as he looked down at Fili who was tugging on his pants leg.
"Uncle. I'm hungry." Fili whined looking up at his uncle with his shiny bright blue eyes.
"I'm having dinner with someone."
Thorin's lips made a 'O' as he looked down at his much shorter sister.
"Not like that. Marlra wants me and a few friends over to celebrate her son's first birthday!" Dis could have cheered with excitement.
She remembered her son's first birthday. They were so tiny and loveable. But unlike Kili, Fili was kind of a chubby little baby. She smiled at her memories and she treasured them. Her father had sworn up and down that Kili looked just like his uncle when he was a baby. But Dis found that hard to believe. She almost wished she could have seen her brother as a baby even though he was older. Maybe she could find a wizard who can pull up the past?
"When will you be back?" Thorin hoped she would be gone a big part of the day. He wanted to take his nephews to the shops.
Dis seemed to be counting on her fingers. "Maybe an hour or two."
Disappointment crossed Thorin face. "That all?"
"What did you expect? It's just lunch." She bent over and kissed Kili's forehead. "I love you baby." She got down on one knee and pulled her oldest in a hug. "Don't do anything foolish. Behave." She knew he would but she had to remind him anyway. She gave his cheek a small kiss causing him to pull back.
"Eww." He said rubbing his cheek with the back of his hand.
"Eww? Are you trying to make your mama cry?" Dis put on the best sad look she could muster.
Fili looked at his mother, he didn't mean to make her sad. But he felt as if he was getting to be too old to get kisses. "Sorry." He gave her another hug and kissed her cheek. "Bye ma."
"Bye babies." She stood up skipping down her pathway. She was so excited to see her friends. She didn't see them often enough since she had her sons. But they were now having kids of their own and they too were finding it hard to find time to hang out.
"Take your time!" Thorin called out to his sister but she seemed to not of heard him.
Thorin looked down at Fili. "What would you like to do?" Kili was still holding on to his neck for dear life. It was beginning to become uncomfortable so Thorin pulled Kili away and put him down next to his brother. "Would you like to go look at the shops?"
"Yay!" Kili jumped in the air with excitement. "I wanna goooo!"
Thorin shook his head he knew what shop he wanted to take them too. But Fili looked unhappy for some reason. "Fili. What's the matter?"
"I'm hungry." Fili's stomach was growling loudly and he rubbed it.
"We can get something to eat in town." Thorin explained, how could Fili forget that there was food down there? "Or are you so starved that I need to carry you?"
Fili's cheeks went a tinge red. "No." He began to walk down the pathway Kili skipping behind him.
Thorin smiled as they made their way to town. Once there the first thing he did was go to the first table of food that looked good.
"What can I get you my prince?" The middle aged dwarf said waving a hand over his food.
"Is that chicken hot?" Thorin wasn't sure how long it had been sitting there.
"It's warm. I cooked them a good twenty minutes ago. Would you like some?"
"I would sure. I need three." Thorin said reaching in his pocket for his coin pouch.
The dwarf placed the three chicken legs on a cloth and handed them over to Thorin. "There you are."
"Thank you." Thorin took the cloth and handed the man his money.
Thorin turned around looking for his nephews. "Not again! Fili!" He walked in the middle of the dirt way and looked around at all the people. "Kili!" His heart started to pound in his chest. How could he let them get the slip on him again?
"What?" Came the reply of a small voice.
Thorin turned around and looked down at his nephews. Kili was holding Fili hand. "I thought…never mind. I got you two some chicken." He unwrapped the chicken legs and handed Kili one and gave Fili the other two with the cloth.
Kili downed his fast throwing the bone across the way.
"Kili. Don't be throwing things."
"Sowie."
Thorin took Kili's hand and with Fili walking behind them they walked into a small cabin.
"Wow." Kili's eye shinned as he looked at all the weapons that were hanging on the wall. There were bows, swords, shiny shields and other stuff that Kili did not know what they were.
Thorin lead Kili over to the bows. "Pick one."
Kili's eyes lit up he looked up at his uncle with his soft brown eyes. "Willy?"
"Yes. Now pick a good one. The cost does not matter." He hoped Dis would not mind. But he wanted to teach Kili how to use a bow after all he was younger than Kili when he picked up his first bow. He knew how and he was good at it.
Fili was at wow with all the weapons that hung on the wall. He walked over to the small knives and grabbed one. He pulled the blade free of its sheath. He admired the beauty of the medal. It had lettering down the blade and the handle was a white pearl.
The owner came over. "So young prince, you bring me customers? I have weapons for young ones over at that table. You can never be too young to train as a warrior."
"Yes. My nephews are ready to learn. Aren't you boys?" Both boys looked over at him and nodded enthusiastically. Thorin walked over to the table indicated. He looked the weapons over. He picked a blade, and a bow and quiver of arrows. "Boys come here."
They hurried over to his side. He handed the blade to Fili and the bow and quiver to Kili. He knew someone who could make the finest weapons anywhere. He would commission him to make weapons for his boys. Weapons for grown Dwarves, a fine present for little princes. He had ideas for engravings and designs. These would do until then.
Kili looked down at his bow. He was a little unhappy that he didn't get to pick it out but the closer look he got of it the more he liked it.
Fili looked between the knife he had picked up two the one his uncle had given him. He wanted them both.
Another male dwarf and two teen small dwarves a year or two older than Fili were in the shop. The male was shopping for a new ax. The boys watched Thorin and his nephews. One looked up at the grownup. "Dad, look." He pointed at Fili and Kili. "They are getting weapons, why not us?"
He looked over at them. "That is Prince Thorin and his kin. They learn early. You two aren't warriors, you will be builders like me. We don't need those." They turned away disappointed. It wasn't fair. Some dwarves got everything and anything they wanted.
Both boys were examining their weapons. Fili had put the one he had picked on and table and touched the blade his uncle had given him with a tiny finger, and pulled away. He had cut himself. Thorin went down to one knee. "Fili? You don't touch your blade. It's just a tiny cut. Now no using it on anyone." He turned to Kili, "And you…don't shoot anyone."
"Will you teach us now, uncle?" Kili asked he asked hugging his new bow.
"Yes Kili. I will teach you all I know. You will make the house of Durin proud." He looked down at Fili. "And so will you. You will be a great worrier." Thorin's eyes shined with pride.
"We want to be like you, uncle Thorin. Tall, strong and a great warrior." Fili said putting his blade back in its sheaf.
"You will." He smiled and gave them a hug. "I think I will get you a sword as well as your knife Fili." Thorin whispered in his nephews ear.
Thorin gets to train his nephews. :D exciting! Please REVEW! I crave alot.
The boys will find trouble in the next one. :) The forest is never a fun place...maybe it will hold a monster? Would anyone like some more flash backs?
