Aurora's Perspective

As soon as I had wolfed down breakfast, I left the dwarves in order to get to work. "If you value your sanity, I wouldn't recommend following me down here! Actually, Master Thorin, I think you'd appreciate to know what I was doing."

With that, I padded down the stairs to the basement, tugging a large box of steel and tools behind me. Thorin simply smiled at me and took the box from me with one arm while scooping me up into his other arm in one motion.

"Why am I so small?" I grumbled in protest beneath my breath, looking pointedly at the dwarf who was simply chuckling softly at my expense.

"Miss Aurora, I cannot answer that, but I do know that I will use your small size to our advantage; carrying you and being able to dote on you has lightened the spirits of many in my company, and I am no exception."

"Now," he said suddenly, not giving me much time to process what he had just said, "do you wish to explain to me what you intend on doing, or did you merely bring me down here as a form of transport?"

"Well, I do need some brawn…" I admitted sheepishly, tugging that box across the floor. "There are a few more boxes this size upstairs. If you would…?"

He simply ruffled my hair, giving the call, "You needn't ask," as he ran up those stairs again.

I was nearly done constructing the main frame of my little project when he came back down with the last box, his eyes bugging at the sight of the gigantic Omega-shaped arch.

"How did you-?"

"How did I just manage to create one of the most wondrous, physics-defying creations your dwarf eyes have ever seen, along with the rest of mankind in this realm?" I grinned at him, picking a drill out of the box he was holding and scrambling back over to my creation and applying the correct drill-bit before drilling in the last screw. I put my hands behind my back, bouncing on my heels in excitement. "Rather easily, actually."

"What- What is all this?"

"Well, by what I can figure, you were transported to my world by a ripple in the space time continuum due to the increased use of magic at that place-" I ceased my frantic rambling at a finger to my lips, and I raised my gaze to find Thorin smirking lightly.

"Forget I asked. Perhaps you should just tell me what I need to do?"

"You've worked in forges, correct?"

He gave me a skeptical look and nodded. "Yes, my nephews have as well."

"In that case, they might be able to help me too!" I jogged over to my table in the corner, grabbing the blueprints I had developed before I created the structure. I laid out the blueprints, carefully instructing what I needed done with each piece of metal and finishing with, "Do you see this crescent moon shape? Each piece has to be that exact shape and cannot have a single flaw."

"Do you doubt Dwarven craftsmanship?"

"Never would I dream of it, Sir!" I grinned up at him, unable to help the giggle that escaped as he ruffled my hair. "I actually have a forge in the next room over- I use it for some of my projects, but since I'm so small I had to develop something else to do it for me… Oh, I need to dismantle those! I'll be back in a minute!"

I looked about in my forge, giving a sigh as I began tearing out everything electronic about it.

"Madame."

I turned around, finding my robot butler. He was the first thing I had ever built and looked more like that robot from "Lost in Space" more than anything if I'm going to be honest. "Hi, Robby! Activate Forge Shutdown Number 42, and, once this is finished, please go into Sleep Mode Number 13."

"As you wish, Madame."

I walked back into my main workroom, squealing in surprise as I was swooped up into a pair of arms once I had closed the door behind me.

"You're a brilliant little thing, aren't you?"

"Master Fili, really!"

"Positively adorable," Kili added, reaching in a hand to tickle my ribs and forcing me to clap a hand over my mouth to stifle even more giggles. "Come on now, Aurora. What's the matter? Is a little giggle too much to ask for?"

I ended up squealing in delight, but I couldn't help it. Fili and Kili had both launched an attack on me, and I scrambled behind Thorin anxiously, only to be plucked out from between his legs by the dark haired brother again.

"Master- Master Thorin? Please!"

He merely smiled down at me, chuckling softly. "Alright, Fili, Kili, I do believe that is enough."

I scrambled away from the bothers and hid behind Thorin's leg again, just trying to catch my breath again.

That's when I could feel it happening. My mind was going foggy again, and I could feel myself sitting down dizzily, holding my head in my hands and whimpering softly.

"Aurora, Lass, are you alright?"

"Need… M-Master Oin…"
